The big news
Mercedes‑Benz has officially told the world that a brand‑new G‑Class Cabriolet is in fact a reality. The company says the first prototypes are now on the road, undergoing rigorous real‑world tests to iron out every detail.
What the engineers are doing
The new G‑Class Cabriolet is coming in a subtle camouflage pattern while its first kilometers are being recorded in Austria. After that, the prototypes will head to Sweden for some tough winter testing—think snow, ice, heavy wind. The goal is to collect “comprehensive” data so that the final production models deliver an open‑top experience that’s still unmistakably G‑Class: rugged, powerful, and unmistakably luxurious.
Why it matters
Mercedes‑Benz is reinforcing its promise to keep innovating one of its most iconic models. The positive reaction to teaser clips has pushed the company to accelerate development, and the first running tests give the team confidence that a cabriolet version will live up to the brand’s legacy of exceptional quality and performance.
Keep an eye on the road
Once the winter tests are completed, the G‑Class Cabriolet will likely move closer to production. Stay tuned for more updates as Mercedes‑Benz refines this exciting new chapter in the G‑Class story.
