In Russia, a little replica of the famous Mercedes G-Wagon has gained popularity. Teenagers can enjoy a luxurious driving experience, but it costs an outrageous 11 million rubles ($110,000). This electric-powered little SUV is a viral hit because it resembles the premium features of its full-sized equivalent, even though it is categorized as a children’s car.
The 800 kilogram small G-Wagon, which is intended for teenagers under the legal driving age, has a parental control feature that allows its speed to be restricted to 60, 40, or even 20 km/h. However, luxury enthusiasts are still evaluating this tiny powerhouse despite its small size and limited capacity, which makes it difficult to fit anyone taller than 180 cm.
Leather seats, a computerized dashboard, parking sensors, soundproofing, steering wheel controls, and a rearview camera are just a few of the compact SUV’s amazing features. The hood, spoiler, and door handles are all made of carbon fiber, which further enhances its sporty appearance. Its appeal is increased by the Sparco sports seats with racing harnesses and a cutting-edge air suspension system inside.
Some critics have referred to the small G-Wagon as a glorified toy and questioned whether its high price tag is justified. But its premium components and painstaking attention to detail set it apart from other kids’ cars.
For those who balk at the cost, comparisons have been made to other luxury children’s cars, like the $35,000 Bugatti model, which now seems relatively modest. While it may not be practical for most families, the mini G-Wagon has carved a niche as a status symbol for affluent parents willing to splurge on their kids. Whether it’s a must-have for aspiring young drivers or just an extravagant indulgence, the mini G-Class is redefining luxury in the children’s car market.
