2027 Mercedes g-Class

[Mr. Mercedes]

4 banger and EV only.

Maybe they’ll put the Chinese 1.5L engine of the CLA in this.

Now now. Let's be fair. The 4 Cylinder is just BUILT in China. It's engineered in Germany.

@leylandi Clever touch on the thread title - I thought it meant another G class facelift at first, but this is a “g” in comparison

It’s still cheap like chips, and I guess it’d be really overwhelmed by the weight.

 

[Swissbob]

If it has really a ladder frame, it’ll be 2tons or 4500lbs.

 

[Merc1]

Maybe this will be the new GLK.

A real successor of the GLK, that’s possible.

Without Straight 6 it’s DOA I agree with you.

 

[Swissbob]

I am curious about the space in the back, the normal G is already short and cramped.

If it’ll be shorter they need to shorten the hood, but If they short the hood, it’s a question the straight 6 would fit.

 

[leylandi]

I’m just talking about the thread. I don’t know what Mercedes will call it yet.

M

Why are you talking nonsense if you don't know the name Mercedes is going to give it? It was shown as "g" in the presentations.

g-Class is going to cause confusion is my point.

Currently the MB decisions are very strange, therefore I wouldn’t be surprised If it’d really be called g class instead of G-class.

 

[leylandi]

The Mini G-Class isn't based on a specific architecture. It boasts a unique chassis structure for excellent off-road performance. However, Mercedes also uses many familiar technical components from the MMA/MB.EA-M family, as well as the MB.OS operating system.

Initially fully electric, the G-Class will now also be offered with hybrid high-tech internal combustion engines. Which ones will be available is not yet known, but longitudinally mounted engines are not out of the question.

I thought it was going to be EV only.

ICE was already confirmed, and the dealers are already asking their customers If they’d like one.

That's good. Landlord sells shit tons of Defenders. It would be a mistake to not hedge by making the baby G EV only.

Yes, here it’s the same, Defenders are everywhere.

 

[Yaz]

is a bronco sport the equivalent in relation to the size ?

Exactly my thought. Not a real G, but market will be the judge.

 

[Rolf]

It makes sense to give this g-Class high powered BEV powertrains (of at least 367PS and above) and also inline 6 engines with the 400/450 badge, it will be too heavy for the current CLA 1.5 4-cylinder and CLA250 (272PS) EV motor.

 

[Uygar]

I wonder how the sales will be like.

 

[AbsoluteUnit]

I wonder how the sales will be like.

It has the ingredients to be very popular. Depends on what powertrains are on offer.
Europe having a hybrid 4-cylinder as an entry point, with about 300hp would be required at a minimum.
US should start with a 6-cylinder.
EV powertrains can be anything you want to fill in the gaps.

The main thing will be if it can have a longitudinal engine. It really should.

Spoiler: Possible powertrains

Model	Powertrain	Power
g350e	I4 hybrid	300PS / 450Nm (250 + 150)
g400eq	EV	400PS / 650Nm
g450	I6	450PS / 600Nm
g500eq	EV	500PS / 750Nm
g55(?)	V8(?)	525PS / 750Nm
