Overview of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450D
This 2026 Mercedes-Benz G-Class G450D AMG Line Package is offered at USS Yokohama on 20 October 2026 as lot 84141. It is finished in black, has covered just 4,000 kilometres (approximately 2,485 miles) and carries an auction grade of 6 with an interior grade of A. The chassis code in the data is 465310C and the engine capacity is 3,000 cc, with an automatic gearbox.
A G-Class with this little use is rare at auction. The G Wagen remains one of the few genuinely upright, ladder frame off roaders still on sale, and a black AMG Line car in this condition suits buyers who want the current generation without waiting for a new allocation. Bids must be placed through Autoselecta before the deadline below.
The Drive Review
The current G-Class, the W463A generation, keeps the boxy shape and the heavy, mechanical feel of the original but pairs it with a far more refined chassis. The independent front suspension, introduced on this generation, gave the car steering precision and ride quality the older solid axle models never had. It still sits tall and carries real mass, so it leans in corners and rewards a measured driving style, but it is stable and quiet at speed.
The G450D designation points to the 3.0 litre six cylinder diesel. That engine is known for strong low speed pull, which suits a heavy vehicle, and for a smooth, relaxed character at motorway pace. It works with Mercedes' nine speed automatic. The model uses permanent four wheel drive with three locking differentials, so its off road ability is far beyond what most owners will ever ask of it. The drive type is not stated in this car's data, so we treat this as general model knowledge.
The appeal is the contrast. You get the door thunk, the upright view out and the feel of a tool built for rough ground, wrapped in a modern cabin. It is not a sports car, and braking and cornering reflect its size, but few vehicles feel so special on an ordinary road.

Vehicle Specifications
Manufacturer: Mercedes-Benz. Model: G-Class. Trim from the listing: G450D AMG Line Package. Chassis code: 465310C. Year: 2026. Engine capacity: 3,000 cc. Transmission: automatic. Exterior colour: black. Mileage: 4,000 km (approximately 2,485 miles). Fuel is not given in the auction data, although the G450D name indicates the diesel model. Drive is not given in the data. The factory colour code, interior colour, registration date and inspection date are not confirmed, as no auction sheet is available.
Factory Features and Equipment
No auction sheet is available, so the equipment list cannot be confirmed from the sheet. From the photograph we can see black alloy wheels, tubular style side steps, the large grille with the central star and round LED headlights, all consistent with an AMG Line car. The trim name suggests AMG styling elements, but the exact contents of the package, any options, navigation, sunroof, leather type, number of keys, manuals and service history are not confirmed. Please ask us before bidding if a particular feature matters to you.
Japanese Auction Report Translation
No auction sheet image is available for this car yet, and the feed contains no inspector notes. We therefore cannot translate any inspector comments, and we will not guess at them. What we know is limited to the data: grade 6 overall, exterior grade 6 and interior grade A. A grade 6 on a car like this usually points to a nearly new vehicle with little or no visible fault, but we cannot confirm what the inspector wrote. If the sheet is added later it should be read before you place a bid.
Damage Diagram and Body Condition
There is no damage diagram to read, so no marks for scratches, dents, repairs, replaced panels, rust or glass can be reported. The photograph shows a black body with clean looking panels, black wheels and an intact front end from the front three quarter angle, but black paint hides little and one small, low resolution image cannot show the whole car. The photograph is taken in what appears to be an indoor auction area, and the front plate area is blank. Overall, the grade 6 and the 4,000 km mileage suggest a near new condition, but this is an indication only and not a confirmed inspection result.
Interior Condition
The interior grade is A, the best on the scale, which usually means a clean cabin with little or no wear. No interior photographs are provided, so seat condition, dashboard, headlining, odours, screens and mileage display cannot be described from images. The interior colour is not confirmed in the data, although light coloured seats can be glimpsed through the windscreen in the photograph.
Japanese Auction Grades
Japanese auction grades summarise an inspector's view of the car. A figure such as 6 sits at the top of the scale and is normally reserved for nearly new cars, while interior grade A is the best rating for the cabin. These grades are a guide, not a warranty, and they are best read alongside the sheet itself.
Model History
The G-Class began as a military and utility vehicle developed with Steyr Puch in the late 1970s, and its basic upright shape has survived through decades of production in Graz, Austria. The W463 ran for nearly forty years with steady updates and became a luxury icon. In 2018 Mercedes introduced the redesigned W463A generation, which kept the look but changed the chassis, steering, cabin and engines. The diesel six cylinder G 350 d arrived first, followed by the G 400 d and later the G 450 d. Details of the exact 2026 specification, including any updates, are not confirmed here.
Why This Model Has Become Collectible
The G-Class is unusual in staying so close to its original design. Its shape, its military roots and its long production run give it an identity that few modern vehicles can match. Enthusiasts value the mechanical details, such as the locking differentials and the bold exterior door handles, while the AMG Line trim adds a sportier look. A 2026 car with 4,000 km is not an old collector piece, and we do not present it as an investment, but low mileage cars in popular colours are the ones buyers tend to look for first. Japan is a source of well kept, lightly used G-Class models, and good examples are not always easy to find.
What To Look For When Buying This Model
On a nearly new G-Class the questions are different from those on an older car. First, when the sheet becomes available, check the exterior grade note and the diagram for any repainted panels or small repairs, since a tall vehicle is easy to scratch on narrow roads and in car parks. Look at the lower doors and the side steps, which collect marks from use.
Second, confirm the specification for your market. A Japanese delivered car may differ in lighting, emissions equipment, speed display, navigation maps and software language from one built for your country. Ask about the diesel emissions system and what your country requires for registration, as diesel rules vary widely between markets.
Third, the model is heavy and has a high stance, so tyre wear and brake condition matter once mileage builds. At 4,000 km that should not be a concern, but it is worth confirming that the original wheels are fitted and that nothing has been changed. Finally, confirm whether the maintenance book, keys and manuals are present, as the sheet is not yet available to show this.
Why Import This Car From Japan
Japanese auctions offer low mileage, well documented cars that are difficult to find elsewhere, and the inspection system gives every car an independent grade. For a late model G-Class this can mean a lightly used car that has been looked after.
Ultimate Guide For Japanese Imports
A typical import runs from auction purchase through export paperwork, shipping, arrival and local registration. The rules vary by country, covering emissions, safety standards and taxes, so check your own country's requirements before you bid. Autoselecta can help you understand each stage.

Auction Caution
Auction cars are inspected before sale but remain used vehicles. An auction sheet is an independent condition guide, not a mechanical warranty. For this car no auction sheet is available yet, so the inspector's comments, the damage diagram, equipment details and service history are all unconfirmed. Grade 6 and interior grade A are encouraging, but they should be treated as indications only. Even a very low mileage car may need checks, software updates, servicing or adjustments after arrival in your country.
