Mercedes Revives G‑Class Cabriolet, Releases Teaser for First U.S.-Bound Version

Timing remains unsettled, with reports pointing to a 2026 debut or sales beginning no earlier than 2027.

Overview

  • Mercedes officially confirmed the open‑top G‑Class and published a dark teaser image ahead of IAA Mobility in Munich.
  • A company spokesperson said the Cabriolet will be offered on nearly all markets, including the United States for the first time.
  • Teaser analysis in the press indicates a fabric roof on the standard wheelbase with four‑door access rather than the historic short two‑door layout.
  • Reporting suggests the model will be based on internal‑combustion G variants rather than the underperforming electric G 580 EQ.
  • Media accounts differ on rollout plans, with Motor1 citing a 2026 market start while dpa cites company circles pointing to earliest 2027 and a likely AMG G63 focus, and production is widely reported for Magna‑Steyr’s Graz plant.
