B ORN TO RULE This year marks the 40 th anniversary of the iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Class, the epitome of off-road SUVs. Immensely popular in the Middle East, its blend of originality, ruggedness and luxury sets the all-wheel bar high. Hark back to when it launched in 1979, however, and the idea of combining on- and off-road properties in a vehicle was revolutionary. Over the years, its iconic shape has become synonymous with power and the benchmark-setting model continues to rule the industry, outperforming all others as it heads a class of its own. Today celebrating its exceptional status, the G-Class shows it’s yet to be matched and, as its prestige continues to grow, the next 40 years look just as thrilling‌
