“If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” Mercedes-Benz is apparently adopting that approach with the look of its G-Class off-roader.

Styling for the big Benz 4WD has barely changed since it made the transition from army vehicle to road-going model, and the German carmaker plans to keep it that way.

Speaking with US industry paper Automotive News Europe, Daimler CEO Dieter Zetsche reportedly said the G-Class will continue as-is for the foreseeable future.

"It has to continue as it looks today - it's not a vehicle that pretends, the G class is the original," Mr Zetsche said.

Sales of the G-Class hit 12,000 in 2013 (with around 20 percent sold in the US), and have tripled in the past five years.

Australia contributed just 40 to the 2013 tally, but could top that in 2014 with 36 units already sold to the end of September.
