The G Wagon is objectively pretty cool. It is a military-grade SUV, one of the only vehicles to come from the factory with multiple locking differentials, and with a history of overlanding records that stretches back for decades. The only problem is that most G Wagons are chromed-up movie-star transporters. But Mercedes-Benz sells its G-Class in Europe badged as the Puch. So is this imported Puch G Wagon actually the hippest Mercedes-Benz you can buy?
This is not a Mercedes-Benz G Wagon
Puch G-Class | Cars and Bids
Your eyes decieve you. You are not looking at a Mercedes-Benz. This is a European-Market, 1984 Puch 230GE SUV.
Its drivetrain is a 2.3-liter I4 engine, four-speed manual transmission, and 4WD chassis with the G Wagon’s signature locking differentials. It was originally sold in the Swiss-market, thus its lack of Merceds badges.
Features on this specific vehicle include skid plates, headlight guards, and an aftermarket trailer hitch.
