Mercedes-Benz continues to release teasers for the 2019 G-Class ahead of its official debut. Though the full reveal isn't until next week, these sneak peeks preview what car enthusiasts can expect from the off-road SUV.

In a new video posted on Mercedes-Benz's official Facebook page, the 2019 G-Class' off-road prowess is demonstrated as it goes through different types of extreme road conditions. Though still covered in camouflage, it cannot be denied that the all-new off-road vehicle has been built to endure extreme challenges.

Meanwhile, earlier this week, the German automaker released a teaser photo of the 2019 G-Class as it plows through a large mound of snow. In this official image, the next-generation G-Wagen is seen undisguised for the first time, however, its exterior is obscured by snow.

Nevertheless, with all the teasers that Mercedes-Benz has released, car enthusiasts expect that the 2019 G-Class will build upon the iconic, rugged and timeless design of the nameplate. The next-generation luxury SUV's off-road capability is enhanced through the use of a ladder-type frame, a low-range gear ratio and three 100-percent differential locks. The latter provides traction and allows the G-Class to move forward while traversing difficult terrain.

The 2019 G-Class' exterior design won't be a significant departure from the boxy design of its predecessors, however, the same can't be said for the upcoming vehicle's interior. The all-new cabin will be modern, luxurious and high-tech.

Notable design elements and features include a wide dashboard with two digital displays, turbine-style air vents, ambient lighting, premium leather seats, an open-pore wood trim and metal and carbon fiber accents. The 2019 G-Class will also comes standard with heated seats and a seven-speaker audio system, among others.

The 2019 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is scheduled to make its world premiere at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit on Monday, Jan. 15.
