This exclusive G-Class Experience fused adventure and sheer driving pleasure behind the wheel of a Mercedes-Benz G-Glass, taking Cycle & Carriage customers on a journey across the G Base, a former air base in Graz, Austria
With over 500,000 units produced since 1979, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is one of the marque’s most enduring icons. The SUV’s signature styling exudes boldness and confidence. These traits are, in turn, complemented by the 4.0-litre V8 engine and all-wheel drive system, which work in tandem to give the car a top speed of 220km/h and century sprint of just 4.5 seconds.
For Cycle & Carriage customers in Singapore who want to experience just what their G-Class is truly capable of, the luxury car dealership offers the G-Class Experience. This exceptional journey is hosted at the G-Class Experience Center in the Austrian city of Graz, and allows invited customers to explore the various state-of-the-art facets of the car—both on and off the road.

Adventures Await
Located on a former Austrian military aerodrome, the G-Class Experience Center spans 100,000 square metres and houses four driving courses to challenge drivers who are looking to be G-Proved. The courses offer both natural and artificial features including track gradients of up to 100 per cent, water obstacles, and an expansive on-road circuit repurposed from former aircraft taxiways.
The myriad conditions don’t just push the limits of Cycle & Carriage customers as they go through the various driving modules of the G-Class Experience, but also underpin the versatility of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class as it navigates these environments. If you’ve ever wondered why the G-Class has a grab handle, the downhill ride with a professional instructor behind the wheel at Schöckl will provide the answer.
Of course, no visit to Graz will be complete without a trip to Magna Steyr, which has produced the Mercedes-Benz G-Class since its introduction in 1979. Guests can thus look forward to a private tour of Magna Steyr as a bookend to their trip.

Thrills and exploration aside, the G-Class Experience will also pamper adventure-seeking customers at every turn—the counterpoint to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class’s SUV lineage is, after all, its status as a luxury car. Also part of this exceptional journey is accommodation at the century-old Hotel Das Weitzer located at the heart of Graz, and being treated to the best local cuisine throughout the trip, including a dining experience at Restaurant Schlossberg, which offers panoramic views of the city.
"I've been driving a G-Class for five years, but it wasn't until this trip to Graz did I get to test the full potential of this automotive masterpiece. At the G-Class Experience Center, we got to push its engineering prowess to the limit, driving in the most scenic yet adventurous landscapes through hills and water, and dare I say even got to perform "stunts" to manouveur around undulating terrain. Beyond the drive, we also experience some of Austria's warmest hospitality and flavours making this a truly unique experience to remember", describes Mr. David Leow, a loyal Cycle & Carriage Singapore lifetime customer.
