After months of teasing, Mercedes has unveiled the latest generation of its G-Class off-roader. A hardcore mud-plugger with abilities totally unthinkable to most of today's fragile soft-roaders and crossovers, it's only the second-generation G-Class to be launched since its inception 38 years ago.

Though the new car's styling is very similar to the outgoing model, Mercedes claims there's only five parts that have been carried over – the door locks, sun visors, headlight washers, spare wheel cover and towbar. However, rugged details such as the exposed spare wheel, round headlights, exterior protective strips and flat panels all remain.
