On the G-Class, Lennart indicated that the Middle East has become one of the most important markets for the segment. In 2013, MB launched the G63 AMG 6x6. The success of the vehicle was very exciting for us at Mercedes Benz which accounted for 41% of Mercedes Benz sales in the region, said Mr. Lennart.
"Today, we introduce for the first time in Qatar, the Mercedes Benz G500 4x4 with the existing DNA of the G series. Designed with a 422Bhp V8 petrol engine with sharper exterior of the G-Class ironically designed body.
