G-class 300 CDI Professional W461 off-road

Officially called the Mercedes-Benz G 300 CDI Professional, the model was introduced in late 2010 after the W461 had been first discontinued from civilian use back in 1990. In other words, it had a twenty year sabbatical, during which it was exclusively offered for the military. Sporting a rugged version of the three-liter OM642 diesel engine, a snorkel, upgraded suspension and tires and the same three lockable differentials that made the G-Wagen famous - it's recipie of the G 300 CDI Professional. You can either call it a more civilian-friendly version of the military G-Class W461 or a barebone and more off-road-ready version of the “regular” G-Class W463. The model was discontinued in 2013.

This model is still available in Australia, I believe the only market where it is still sold to civilians. It’s not discontinued as per description.

We have been having it in Africa for years but it's crazy expensive

[@AOTanoos22]

Is it right-hand drive ?

[@Afriqueleblanq]

Its sales in 🇿🇦 was stopped long ago, as the W463 models took over, first the G350d, then G400d, both with the same OM656 2.9l straight six engine. The 3.0l V6 OM642 Bluetec was discontinued in 2017. People get confused between these models. It is easy to discern when you apply your mind.

[@atos.nympha3451]

my dream G. OM 606 turbo preferred but CDi first choice if possible

[@MylanPS3]

OM 606 will be easier to fix than a CDI when broken.

It was not introduced in late 2010, you cand find ,,professional” models created in 2006 for example. So its not true what you said..

[@OldBenzClub]

[@Pixeltrainer]

Nice vehicle. However, I've driven my 2005 Outback on more challenging terrain than shown in this video.

[@Afriqueleblanq]

Yeah right.

[@motolover5697]

I would prefer manual gearbox. Why do they install only an automatic one?

[@Afriqueleblanq]

There is a reason why every military uses automatics. It thinks faster and protects the engine. I have seen my own Toyotas' manual 'boxes fail in the city. It isn't better than a good torque converter automatic.
