The Mercedes-Benz G 500 is back on the order books in Germany after a pause tied to the switch to the updated inline-six M256 Evo engine. Trade outlets put the price at €137,290.30 including VAT. Delivery may be charged separately.

Compared with the original German list price of the restyled 2024 G 500, the car has gone up by roughly €4,962, or 3.75%. Back then, the base price was €132,328 including VAT. This is a comparison with the W465 generation's initial price specifically—intermediate price changes may have differed.

The three-litre petrol engine still makes 449 hp. The integrated starter-generator of the 48-volt system can briefly add another 23 hp, so the “449 + 23 hp” label shouldn't be read as a constant 472 hp. The main change is torque. Peak engine torque has risen from 560 to 600 Nm, and in the short-term Overboost mode it can reach 640 Nm.

The increase hasn't touched the official 0–100 km/h time: the G 500 still does the sprint in 5.4 seconds. The claimed WLTP figure remains 10.9 l/100 km; on the previous version that was the lower end of a 12.3–10.9 l/100 km range. In other words, the update is aimed mainly at more confident pulling power, not at sharper outright performance or a confirmed cut in consumption.
