Overview
- Official images show a camouflaged prototype in Austria with a fabric soft top and the G‑Class’s boxy silhouette in a four‑door layout.
- Mercedes says prototypes will move from Austrian road and test‑track validation to demanding winter testing in Sweden.
- Engineers are gathering data to ensure the convertible delivers an experience consistent with the hard‑top G‑Class.
- Journalists note visual cues such as a tailgate‑mounted spare and visible rear axle that point to internal‑combustion testing, while parity with G550/G63 powertrains and an electric G580 variant remains unconfirmed.
- The cabriolet revives a factory open‑top G after earlier versions ended by 2018, and pricing, production numbers, and a launch date have not been announced, with some outlets speculating on a mid‑2026 arrival.
