Overview of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450d AMG Line Package
This is a July 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450d AMG Line Package, chassis code 3CA-465310C, offered at USS HAA Kobe as lot 82304 on 10 October 2026 (Japan date). It is a 3000 cc diesel, four wheel drive, right hand drive official dealer import finished in pearl, with factory colour code 885. The sheet shows 2,546 km, approximately 1,582 miles, so this is a G-Class that has barely been used.
It carries an auction grade of 6 and an interior grade of A. It is a one owner car, traded in by a corporate user, and this is its first time at auction. The only mark on the damage diagram is a scratched cover at the rear left. For anyone looking for a nearly new Mercedes-Benz G-Class straight from Japan, with the service book recorded, that is a very short list of things to weigh.
The Drive Review
The current W463 generation G-Class keeps the upright, boxy shape and the ladder frame construction of the original 1979 Geländewagen, but it rides on a much more modern chassis than earlier cars. Independent front suspension replaced the old solid front axle, and the steering is more precise than on older G-Wagens. It still feels tall and substantial, with a commanding view out over that flat bonnet.
The G450d uses Mercedes' six cylinder 3.0 litre diesel with a mild hybrid assist, and the dash photograph shows power and charge markings on the rev counter, consistent with that system. The sheet itself does not mention it, so treat it as model knowledge rather than a sheet fact. The point of a diesel six in a G-Class is relaxed, strong low speed pull and long range, rather than headline acceleration. It is paired with Mercedes' nine speed automatic, and the sheet lists the shift as a column automatic, which matches the stalk selector seen in the car.
This is not a sports car. It leans in corners and is heavy, but it rides well, it is quiet at a cruise and it keeps the off road ability that built the badge, with three locking differentials on the model. Compared with a modern crossover, it feels more solid, more mechanical and far more individual.
Auction Details
The car is lot 82304 at USS HAA Kobe, in the imported car prime corner of the sale. The auction date in Japan is 10 October 2026. The auction start price is ¥16,800,000. No Autoselecta guide bidding range has been set for this car, and no close sold results are on record, so there is little recent evidence to anchor a price.

All bids must be submitted before 9PM UK time the evening before auction.

Factory Features and Equipment
The sheet's sales points list the AMG Line Package, 20 inch AMG alloy wheels, Nappa leather seats, a MICROCUT roof lining, a leather dashboard and electric side steps. The notes add black piano lacquer wood interior trim and centre trim, a leather wrapped sports steering wheel, a Burmester sound system and a sunroof. Also listed are an ETC unit, genuine front and rear dash cameras and a tonneau cover.
Automatic air conditioning is marked on the sheet. The photographs show a digital instrument display, a large central screen, ambient lighting, turbine style air vents, a touchpad controller on the console and the rear mounted spare wheel with a cover bearing the Mercedes star. The equipment box for items such as navigation, power windows and airbags could not be read with confidence, so no further equipment is confirmed from it.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
The sheet confirms first registration in July 2025, the G450d AMG Line Package grade, code 3CA-465310C, 3000 cc, five doors, 4WD, grade 6, interior A, shaken to 30 July 2028, 2,546 km, column automatic, automatic air conditioning, pearl colour code 885, diesel fuel, right hand drive, dealer import, five seats and the plate Kobe 341 ne 1239. The interior colour is blank.
The new car service book with warranty booklet is marked as present. The sales points read: first time at auction, trade in from a corporate user, one owner, then the equipment listed above. The notes line for the new car warranty booklet, owner's manual and spare smart key ends with a mark meaning at a later date. It is not clear whether that applies to all three items or only the spare key, so confirm with the auction house what comes with the car. The photographs show one key in the cabin.
The inspector's report section is blank, so no mechanical, bodywork or interior comments were written. The box labelled as the load area shows 468 cm by 198 cm by 198 cm and should be read as a printed dimensions box, not a measurement of this car's cargo space.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition of the G-Class
There is one mark on the diagram: a cover marked A at the rear left, at the lower rear corner on the left side. An A1 to A3 mark means a scratch, and here it sits on a cover or trim piece, probably the rear bumper corner or a trim cover. The exact panel cannot be fixed from the drawing, and the severity digit is not certain. There are no dents, repair marks, replaced panels, rust or corrosion shown anywhere else.
The photographs show clean pearl paint, straight panels and the original style side trim, and I cannot see any obvious problem in these images. They are low resolution auction pictures, so the left rear corner is not clearly shown. Overall this is a collector level, nearly new car, with one cosmetic scratch to inspect.
Interior Condition
The interior is graded A. The photographs show a black interior with white contrast stitching on the dashboard, a leather wrapped flat bottomed AMG style steering wheel, ambient lighting, turbine air vents and the large twin screen layout. The seat in the foreground looks unmarked, and a protective paper floor mat is still in place with the key resting on the seat. The driver's pedal pad looks clean. The sheet does not record smoke, odour or wear.
Japanese Auction Grades
Grade 6 is the sheet's score for a vehicle that is close to new, with very light or no marking, and interior A is the top interior rating. Together they describe a car with very little to find, and the sheet's one recorded mark is a scratched cover.
Model History
The G-Class began in 1979 as a military and utility vehicle developed with Steyr Puch in Graz, Austria, where it is still built. The W463 type served for four decades with only gradual change. The second generation arrived for 2018, with new independent front suspension, a wider body and a modern cabin, but with the same silhouette, exterior door handles and external hinges. The 465 series code on this car belongs to that generation. The 2025 update brought a revised digital cockpit and the mild hybrid diesel six that now sits behind the G450d name.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The G-Class has the rare status of a luxury 4x4 with 45 years of continuous production and a body shape that has barely changed. Strong global demand and limited allocation in markets like Japan keep good ones in demand. A low mileage car, in a colour that suits the shape, from a corporate trade in with books recorded, will appeal to buyers who want an unused example. This one is only a year old, so it is a modern luxury vehicle, not yet a classic, and values can move either way. It should not be viewed as an investment.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
Start with the left rear scratch, the car's only recorded mark. Ask Autoselecta for photographs of the corner, to see whether the damage is to paint or just to a trim cover. Confirm what the later date wording means for the warranty booklet, manual and spare smart key, since a missing smart key is costly to replace on a modern Mercedes.
On the model generally, check that the diesel emissions and electronic systems are accepted in your country, and that dealer support exists for Japanese market cars. Software, screen language and map data on right hand drive Japanese cars may need adjusting. Look at the electric side steps for smooth operation, since they are a moving part exposed to dirt, and the spare wheel cover and rear door catch, where heavy use shows first on a G-Class. The sheet's inspector section is blank, so an independent check on arrival is wise.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japan is where nearly new, low mileage luxury cars come to auction with an inspection sheet and a clear history. This one is a dealer car with a recorded service book and one owner, which is exactly the type of vehicle that is hard to find elsewhere in this condition.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but are still used vehicles. The auction sheet is an independent condition guide and not a mechanical warranty. Please note the scratched cover at the rear left, the blank inspector's report, the unreadable equipment box, the uncertain colour change entry, and the later date wording over the warranty booklet, manual and spare smart key. Any car may need servicing or checking after purchase.
