Enjoying superstar status for 32 years as the longest-serving Mercedes-Benz model, the G-Class series continues to shine with owners past and present, and is appreciated by motoring enthusiasts across the world for its widespread appeal. As the largest importer of the G55 AMG globally, nowhere is this appeal more evident than in the Middle East, where the luxury off-roader has been adopted by the elite for its ability to be as at home on the region’s glittering city streets as it is battling rugged desert landscapes.

As a tribute to the important and loyal customers, Zawawi Trading Company (ZTC) - the authorized general distributor for Mercedes-Benz in Oman - has launched a special model of the G-Class in the Sultanate. Exclusively designed for the Middle East and introduced regionally earlier this year, the G55 Arabia 100 Limited Edition is finally here.

With exclusive design and striking appearance, only 100 Limited Edition G55 Arabias will be produced. Available in either matte cashmere white or matte nightblack and based on Middle Eastern motoring heritage, Mercedes-Benz has outfitted the rugged, powerful and sporty exterior with a set of 19-inch AMG wheels, chrome bull bars and carbon fibre trim.

The interior has received a two-tone treatment with a contrasting black and porcelain leather, with carbon fibre finishes and champagne white Designo piano lacquer wood trim. Additional features that include a rear-seat entertainment system and a Limited Edition engraved plate underline the exclusiveness of this special model, and confirm its status as only one of a few.

Craig Hardie, CEO – Automotive, Zawawi Trading Company, said: “Since its inception, the G-Class has been subject to ongoing product enhancements to cater for our customers’ expectations of this specialised off-roader. This has culminated in the very special G55 Arabia 100 Limited Edition, created as a tribute to our most sophisticated and loyal customers.”
