The new Unimog sets fresh standards in its class. It answers a long-standing request from customers around the world: to combine the Unimog’s legendary off-road performance with higher power and a more distinctive design. Based on a Unimog platform used for extreme civilian and military tasks, this show car is unique in its technical setup.

Next year, the vehicle will be tested by a customer in real-world conditions to gather feedback for possible future development.

Franziska Cusumano, CEO of Mercedes-Benz Special Trucks: “With the luxury Unimog show car, we have realized our vision of combining the legendary robustness and off-road capability of the Unimog with an entirely new standard of comfort and engineering skills. This Unimog is a statement of innovation and passion.”
