Meanwhile, stainless steel “Stronger Than Diamonds” badging adorns the door sills and the front passenger grab handle to further enhance the lavish appeal of the interior.
What’s more, Diamonds with 0.25-carat are embedded into its stainless-steel door locking pins to add opulence and sophistication to an already iconic legacy vehicle from the distinguished three-pointed star marque.
Powerful Performance
The Stronger Than Diamonds Edition is based on the G 550 model equipped with a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V-8 engine. This unit delivers up to 416 hp and 450 lb-ft of torque for the imposing G-Class.
It’s expected that the US-bound G 550 may switch to an inline-6 engine as part of a 2025 model-year update, following Mercedes’ plans to discontinue the V8 in non-AMG G-Class models in other markets. The V8 engine will still be available in the updated AMG G 63 though, with the addition of a mild-hybrid system.
Furthermore, Mercedes also has plans to introduce an EQG electric vehicle (EV) model alongside the updated gasoline models.
Pricing for the Limited Edition Mercedes-Benz G-Class
The G-Class Stronger Than Diamonds Edition starts at $201,100, including a $1,150 destination charge. Compared to the base G 550, this special edition carries a premium of $56,950.
From the looks of it, the additional cost is mainly due to the extra luxurious elements, particularly the diamond embellishments, rather than any performance enhancements.
Ethically-Sourced Diamonds and Certification for the Special Mercedes-Benz G-Class
Together with the exclusive offering is a guarantee that the diamonds used in the special edition G-Class were responsibly mined. Each buyer receives a certificate from the Responsible Jewelry Council (RJC) certifying that they originate from ethically, socially, and ecologically conscious sources.
