It’s not likely that many G-Wagen buyers cross-shopped the competition.
In terms of luxurious off-roading, the Land Rover Range Rover is its closest rival.
It’s larger, far more modern, and nearly as adept at scrabbling up a mountain.
Then there’s the Lincoln Navigator.
It’s not known at all for off-road ability, but baller status? It’s the original image SUV, and in its new generation, it’s glamorous and glitzy enough to take a prime slot at the valet stand.
The Toyota Land Cruiser and its tonier sibling, the Lexus LX 570 are valid choices.
Both have true off-road bonafides, but are far more subtle about the way they go about their business.
