Mercedes Benz Offroad: Camping with the G-Class and Mercedes GLB
Mercedes not only stands for luxury-class saloons, but also for off-road action: the Mercedes G-Class, the flagship of the Mercedes brand, has been in production since 1979 and is constantly being developed further.
The off-road vehicle offers a mixture of off-road and lounge feeling.
However, the G-Class is no longer the only off-road model from Mercedes.
The entire GL series can be used for rough terrain, such as the GLB.
Of course, there is a wide range of equipment and engine options, depending on the buyer’s wishes.
Mercedes advertises its cars with a very high standard of quality and a comfortable interior.
So if you want a comfortable yet adventurous start to your next camping vacation with a roof tent, you’ve come to the right place.
Popular Mercedes Benz off-road models include the G-Class, the GLB, GLS and the Mercedes GLE Coupé, with the G-Class being the car manufacturer’s off-road flagship.
Mercedes G-Class: off-road vehicle with tradition, power and comfort
The G-Class from Mercedes is probably one of the best-known and most renowned cars in the off-road segment.
The off-road vehicle has been continuously developed since its creation, and yet little has changed in terms of design and look; only the technical performance continues to be optimized.
The G-Class scores points above all for its robustness and performance, which is combined with comfort inside the vehicle.
Thanks to the G Manufaktur, for example, you can now have your G-Class designed to suit your individual needs.
- Power: 210 – 430 KW / 286 – 585 PS
- 0 – 100 km/h: 5.9 s
- Top speed 199 – 220 km/h
- Fuel consumption (combined): 8.7 – 13.1 l/100km
- Climbing ability: up to 100%
- Inclined position: up to 70%
The G-Class is used by Mercedes as the flagship for off-road vehicles and is still the only model at Mercedes Benz that stands for 100% off-road performance.
This unique selling point means that expectations of the G-Class are naturally high.
In this video you will get a review and a driving report from professionals who take a close look at the G-Class and report on the performance and capabilities of the off-road vehicle from Mercedes.

Mercedes GLB: compact SUV with off-road performance
The Mercedes GLB has been on the market since 2018 and is officially advertised as an SUV, but thanks to its off-road driving program, it also offers appropriate safety off-road.
The Mercedes GLB impresses above all with its compact size, a large, variable load compartment and a widescreen cockpit so that you don’t miss a single highlight on your next road trip.
The GLB is also very spacious for its relatively small size and offers plenty of room.
Like almost all Mercedes Benz models, the GLB is also available with an AMG engine.
The advantage here: Roof racks are standard on the Mercedes GLB – the perfect basis for our roof tents!
Compared to the G-Class, the GLB scores above all with a significantly lower price segment and almost 50% lower fuel consumption (depending on the engine).
- Power: 100 – 225kW / 136 – 306 hp
- 0 – 100 km/h: 9.9 – 5.2 s

Best-selling models: Mercedes C-Class, E-Class and the GLC
The C-Class, E-Class and the Mercedes SUV GLC are among the best-selling Mercedes Benz models.
Mercedes stands above all for quality, durability and comfort – or so they say.
In fact, many of the German car manufacturer’s models confirm this obituary.
It is therefore not surprising that Mercedes is represented with several models in the ranking of the 50 best-selling cars worldwide.
The three most successful car models in terms of sales are briefly presented below.
C-Class: Saloon with dynamism and progressiveness – the Mercedes classic
The C-Class from Mercedes is definitely one of the more luxurious saloons in the German car manufacturer’s stable.
Despite or perhaps because of its high quality, the C-Class saloon is the 19th best-selling passenger car model in the world, making it Mercedes’ absolute bestseller – whether as a saloon or estate.
It impresses above all with its simple yet high-quality design and a certain elegance that cannot be denied.
The C-Class from Mercedes is undoubtedly one of the most popular saloons in the world.
- Power: 85 – 375 KW / 116-510 PS
- 0 – 100 km/h: from 9.8 – 4.1 s

E-Class: luxury and comfort for the road
The E-Class from Mercedes Benz is one of the most luxurious models offered by Mercedes.
The C-Class is particularly popular worldwide as a saloon, whether for chauffeur-driven journeys or as a company or private car.
Mercedes focuses primarily on design, looks, performance and comfort.
Anyone who drives an E-Class should want for nothing.
Just like most other Mercedes models, the E-Class is also available with a sporty AMG engine.
If you are looking for luxury, comfort and prestige, you can’t go wrong by choosing a Mercedes E-Class.
It is available with both a sporty and dignified interior design.
The E-Class is now also available as a hybrid or electric car.
- Power: 118 – 450 KW / 160 – 612 PS
- 0 – 100 km/h: from 9.8 – 2.8 s
- Top speed: 222 – 300 km/h

Mercedes GLC: Off-road capable SUV with a dynamic and compact design
Like the entire GL series from Mercedes Benz, the Mercedes GLC is an SUV with off-road capability.
Compared to the G-Class, however, these models are designed to be more compact and dynamic.
They are designed even more for comfort and the ability to cut a fine figure both in city traffic and off-road.
In principle, the GLC is not an explicit off-road vehicle, but can also be equipped with an off-road package on request.
It is an all-rounder that should make the hearts of many car enthusiasts beat faster.
- Power: 120 – 275 KW / 163 – 510 PS
- 0 – 100 km/h: from 9.8 – 4.1 s
