In this case, it’s the latest version of Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, the G350 which now features a BlueTEC Diesel plant under it’s large, square hood.

Suzuki is a brand that has a history in motorsports – dirtbikes, ATVs, motorcycles – you name it and Suzuki makes it. Not only that, they rank quite highly in doing so.
