There are off-road vehicles built to look tough. And then there are vehicles genuinely engineered for hard work. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class undoubtedly belongs to the latter category. What began as a military project ultimately evolved into one of the most recognizable and iconic models Mercedes-Benz has ever built.

This particular example from 1996 perhaps represents the most interesting era of the G-Class. The pure, angular appearance of the early models remained entirely intact, while comfort and luxury had by then reached a genuinely high level. And that is precisely why this generation is becoming increasingly sought after by collectors today. Not overly modern, not too classic—simply perfectly balanced.

This G 320 Kurz is also completely original and exceptionally well preserved. A vehicle that was clearly treated with care throughout thirty years of proper ownership and maintenance. You notice it in everything—from the panel fitment to the interior and the way the vehicle drives.

The specification is particularly tasteful as well. Smaragdschwarz metallic combined with options such as air conditioning, a sunroof, side steps, and electrically adjustable seats gives this G exactly the appearance a 1990s G-Class should have. Professional, solid, yet unmistakably elegant.

What makes this generation of G-Class so appealing is the combination of ruggedness and quality. Nearly everything about the vehicle feels engineered as though Mercedes expected it to last for decades. No unnecessary electronics, just solid engineering and a body structure that feels almost indestructible.

Underneath, this G 320 benefits from the refinements Mercedes introduced throughout the 1990s. The improved automatic transmission brought greater refinement, while features such as airbags, upgraded brakes, and additional comfort options made the vehicle far more usable as a daily driver. Fortunately, all without losing the character that defines the G-Class.

Another attractive aspect of a short-wheelbase G-Class is its stance. While the long-wheelbase versions can sometimes appear almost utilitarian, a Kurz model has something compact and muscular about it. As though the proportions are simply perfect. It gives the vehicle an almost timeless appearance that feels just as strong today as it did thirty years ago.

This Mercedes-Benz G 320 Kurz is supplied complete with its original documentation folder and booklets, exactly as you would hope to see with a proper example.
