JAKARTA - Mercedes-Benz officially introduced G 450d, the latest diesel variant from the G-Class family for the Indian market. The model is sold for Rs 2.90, or the equivalent of around Rp4.6 billion.

The presence of G 450d marks the return of diesel engines to the ranks of G-Class after being absent, as well as expanding the choice of customers to three variants of powertrain, namely gasoline, electricity, and diesel.

In terms of design, G 450d comes with a light update on the grille which now has four horizontal blades, a new front bumper, and a black-finishing 20-inch AMG wheels. The interior features an adjustable array of Nappa skin, metallic trim, and ambient lighting.

The NTG7 MBUX infotainment system with two 12.3-inch screens supports augmented reality navigation and wireless connectivity, plus a 7-60-watt 3D Burmester sound system with Dolby Atmos technology.

Behind the engine's hood, G 450d is equipped with a six-cylinder diesel engine with a capacity of 3.0 liters with a 48-volt mid-hybrid system. The machine produces 362 hp of power and a 750 Nm peak torque, equipped with an Integrated Starter Generator (ISG) system for additional electrical power.

Acceleration of 0100 km/hour only takes 5.8 seconds, with a maximum speed of 210 km/hour. As a legendary SUV, G 450d retains G-Class's typical offroad capabilities.

This car builds on a ladder frame chassis, has three differential mechanical keys, as well as a double wishbone suspension on the front and axle rigid on the back. Its off-road capabilities are further strengthened by 241 mm ground clearance, inundation depth of up to 70 cm, as well as approach angles and departures of 31 degrees and 30 degrees, respectively.

For safety features, Mercedes-Benz completes this SUV with active brake assists, lane keeping assists, 360-degree camera, and adaptive suspension. All of this ensures a comfortable driving experience on various terrains, both onroad and offroad.

According to India's Managing Director & CEO of Mercedes-Benz, Santosh Iyer, the presence of this diesel variant is part of a brand strategy to expand the G-Class line in the Indian market.

"G 450d, with a powered and efficient diesel engine, combines performance with efficiency. We now have a G-Class for every customer need," said Santosh Iyer, as reported by Carandbike, Tuesday, October 14.

Interestingly, Mercedes-Benz only prepared 50 units of G 450d for the first batch and will be sold on a limited basis to certain customers. In addition, the German brand also introduced the exclusive G-Tribe Escapade program, which is an adventure journey using the Mercedes SUV from India to Bhutan from November to December 2025.
