Import 2019 Mercedes-Benz G350d AMG Line 3.0

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G350d AMG Line (W463A modern chassis) is an iconic luxury off-roader with moderate mileage (61,000 km). Finished in a Black exterior with a power tilt/slide sunroof, this trim features AMG Line body styling, flared wheel arches, red designo seat belts, and upgraded leather upholstery. Powered by the refined OM656 inline-6 twin-turbo diesel engine, it delivers high low-end torque while being significantly more fuel-efficient than its G63 V8 counterpart. In Kenya, a imported 2019 G350d AMG Line carries an estimated landed and registered market value between KSh 16.5M and KSh 18.5M depending on condition, options, and duty evaluation.
