Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force Concept Car

Intriguingly, this concept previews a long-awaited replacement for the G-class in production since 1979.
“The Ener-G-Force invokes the genes of the G-class. It could also be a clue about a new beginning for the off-road design idiom of Mercedes-Benz,” said Gorden Wagener, head of Mercedes design.
Styled at the firm's advanced design studio in Carlsbad, Calif., the Ener-G-Force updates the functional, go-anywhere appearance of the 33-year-old G-class with a bold look that provides clues for the how the company's SUV lineup will look in the future. Autoweek understands the portfolio has been conceived to include compact, midsize and luxury variants in a move aimed at providing broader customer appeal than today's G-class.
