G-Class stays in production as Magna Steyr builds 600,000th

Mercedes-Benz’s decision to keep the G-Class in production secures steady work for the plant and preserves hundreds of jobs in the region. The assembly line for the G-Class has been running without interruption since the mid-1970s, and that kind of continuity speaks volumes.

Recently, the Magna Steyr factory marked a milestone as the 600,000th example of this popular series rolled off the line. Milestones like that don’t happen by chance—they reflect sustained appeal backed by real demand.

Extending production is a clear signal of the model’s weight for the brand’s image and its steady pull with buyers worldwide. The company’s confidence rests on consistently strong global demand for vehicles of this type, and the G-Class continues to justify that faith.
