Chronology
Predecessor7G-Tronic

9G-Tronic is Mercedes-Benz's trademark name for its 9-speed automatic transmission, starting off with the W9A 700 (Wandler-9-Gang-Automatik bis 700 N⋅m Eingangsdrehmoment; converter-9-gear-automatic with 700 N⋅m (516 lb⋅ft) maximum input torque; type 725.0[1]) as core model. The transmission debuted on the E 350 BlueTEC in 2013,[1] and successively replaced both the 7-speed 7G-Tronic (PLUS) transmission and the 5-speed 5G-Tronic transmission. It includes versions for a maximum input torque of 1,000 N⋅m (738 lb⋅ft).[2]

After the 5G- and 7G-Tronic, this is the 3rd generation of modern automatic transmissions. Therefore this transmission is identified internally as NAG3 (New Automatic Gearbox 3rd generation).[3] In order to increase the number of ratios, the previous restriction to the design as a pure in-line transmission has been abandoned and combined with that of the parallel epicyclic gearing.
