Puch – other models: the collective page of the Austrian G from Graz outside the named ranges, from the Puch 230 GE to the G500, four- to eight-cylinders, 2.3 to 5.0 litres

This page gathers the vehicles of the Puch brand the register could not assign to a named range – the off-road range known as the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, sold in Austria under the Puch G name. The vehicle emerged as a joint development between Daimler-Benz and Steyr-Daimler-Puch and is still built at the Graz plant today; early model years in Austria and Switzerland carried the Puch emblem instead of the Mercedes star. The designations 230 GE, 290 GD and 300 GD give the engine-capacity class (2.3 to 3.0 litres), G for off-road vehicle, E for injection engine and D for diesel, the G500 the later V8 version of 5.0 litres.

The register lists here 14 versions from four- to eight-cylinders of 2,296 to 4,966 cm³, unladen weights from 1,926 to 2,345 kg, gross weights from 2,500 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,700 to 1,840 mm.

The Graz-built G is regarded as one of the most durable off-road vehicles altogether and is used by the military and authorities as well as civilian buyers alike; under the Puch name it remained a household term in Austria and Switzerland for decades alongside Mercedes marketing in other countries.

On used examples, rust on the frame and wings, the condition of the three differential locks, the transfer case, on injection engines the electronics, and on diesels the glow system and injection pump count; parts run through the Mercedes-Benz network, since the vehicles are technically identical.
