"Euro NCAP has released its first batch of crash-test results for 2019, with the Mercedes-Benz G-Class bagging a full five stars for safety.

The new-generation Geländewagen scored 90 percent for adult occupant protection and 83 percent for child occupant protection, while also managing 78 percent for vulnerable road-user protection and 72 percent for its standard safety assistance technology.

A left-hand-drive version of the G350d (not currently offered in South Africa) was tested, although the results cover the petrol-powered G500 and flagship Mercedes-AMG G63 as well.

Production of the new G-Class kicked off in Graz, Austria back in May 2018. Since 1979, Magna Steyr has produced the G-Class on behalf of the Stuttgart-based brand."
