Therefore Volkswagen displayed its limited Touareg Middle East edition, Porsche also launched its limited Middle East Edition, Lamborghini honored its motor-show participation with the Gallardo Bi-Color Middle East Edition and many more car companies following the same �Middle East Edition’strategy.
So, of course Mercedes Benz Middle East had to follow the same path and therefore decided to make a special for the Mercedes G-Class, which is extremely expensive and at the same time very successful in the Middle East and Gulf region.
As a tribute to the extremely important and loyal customers in this part of the world, Mercedes-Benz therefore introduced a special model of the G-Class, exclusively designed for the Middle East: the G-Class Arabia 100 Limited Edition.
Limited to 100 units and based on the Middle Eastern motoring heritage, this new member of the G-Class family convinces with its unique and exclusive design.
To go along with its rugged, powerful and sporty exterior, Mercedes-Benz has outfitted the limited edition G-Class with a set of 19-inch AMG wheels i

The introduction of the limited range underlines the legendary reputation the vehicle has attracted not only locally and regionally but also on an international scale.
The G-Class continues to shine with both current and previous owners, as well as those motoring enthusiasts that simply appreciate the vehicle’s widespread appeal. This is evident with the number of accolades the vehicle continues to receive.
