I've driven several Mercedes-Benz SUVs before and found the off-road mode extremely useful during off-roading, especially in models like the G-Class, such as the G500 or G63, which basically come standard with this feature. On muddy roads or in snowy conditions, it can automatically lock the differential, raise the chassis height, and prevent wheel slippage. Additionally, the Mercedes GLE and GLS also offer optional off-road packages that can activate similar modes. For example, the 2023 GLE's Dynamic Select system includes an Off-Road option, which has saved me several times during outdoor road trips. The new electric EQS SUV now also includes this feature, which feels quite high-tech. Overall, the G-Class is widely recognized as a legendary vehicle with the most stable off-road performance, while other SUVs may require additional payment for this option. I recommend test-driving before purchasing, especially for those who frequently drive in mountainous areas—safety first.

As someone who frequently drives SUVs, I find Mercedes-Benz's off-road mode quite common in many high-end vehicles, with the most famous being the G-Class series, such as the G550 or AMG G63. Their built-in systems allow for one-touch switching to off-road mode, aiding in handling rough terrain or getting unstuck. The GLE and GLS also have similar features, but you need to opt for the Off-Road Engineering package for full capabilities. I once drove a friend's 2022 GLE, and it performed exceptionally well on sand, with the suspension automatically adapting. In comparison, competitors like the BMW X5 aren't as specialized. With the rise of electric vehicles, Mercedes' newly launched EQE SUV also integrates this mode, making it more energy-efficient. When buying a car, checking the configuration is crucial—don’t overlook this detail.

I noticed that all Mercedes-Benz G-Class vehicles come with off-road capabilities, like the classic G500, whose Off-Road mode is exceptionally strong and can lock the rear axle to stabilize the wheels. The GLE and GLS SUVs also have this feature, but it might require an additional package. Don’t overlook these details when choosing a car.
