G-Class [Spyshots] 2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class (W464)

[Monster]

Now I'm seriously considering replacing my RR with a G.

I still don't think the new G will offer the same level of comfort and spaciousness.

Now all it needs is to drive great.

Parts bin special - yes. But far more cohesive than the outgoing G.

I hope dual 12.3 displays will be an option, because I've yet to see it in any of the spyshots.

Agreed on the first part, i really like the new interior a lot.

As for the second part, the double screen will be standard in most markets. The car will cost more than an average apartment in a lot of EU countries, after all...

Of course it won't. That's not really the point here though.

 

[Grosser]

I'm glad that they removed the yellow warning sticker for locking differentials.

 

[lukeswiss]

I want it....

 

[PHYBENZ]

Actually looks much better put together than I thought. I love the door design actually. Curious the windows switched are black...

It's not meant to. But LR must be feeling pretty flattered at the interior door design. It's a damn near perfect imitation of the Rover.

What a great combination this new G class is going to be. Old world exterior MB styling from the era of the master designer Mr. Bruno Sacco with the modern era classy interior from recent Mercedes Benzes.

It's one hell of a Frankenstein interior.

About around a zillion times better than the current G class.

I like it a lot.

Go for it!!!! You don't want to be that guy to be known for owning English cars only
They will think you're weird

A classic legend reborn - and very well it seems. This is what separates MB from BMW and Audi. Those brands simply don't pull off legendary cars like the SLR, GTR, SLS, G-Class and of course the king of the luxury segment S-Class. Do you disagree @klier ? ;-)

 

[klier]

Guess there's different versions of legendary. Because I find the BMW 3 series far more legendary than that joke of an SLR, for example. But to each his own

 

[fortuner]

I have always liked th G class from my younger days back IN SA my neighbour had on on his far a old one which was not maintained and I liked it...The way this one is turning out it could actually week be the Best one yet...I think they done a superb job with the interior ..If I could change something I would change the surrounding area of the airvents with wood..

I think also a Maybach version with two rear seating is soemthing MB could Milk.

Yeah indeed, it does feel weird being a German car enthusiast, but not having a German car.

I'm really surprised about (and quite fascinated by) how they managed to keep the dash that 'slim', i.e. close to the windshield. Must have been quite challenging imo.

It’s just like the Jeep Wrangler. The box packaging and RWD drivetrain make that very doable.

I indeed forgot the Wrangler. On the other hand, that one does not come with a ton of huge displays and stuff. At least at BMW and Audi, ventilation has always been a big issue with their screens. I honestly do not see very easy ways to implement this layout here. However, I'm always thankful for enlightenment .

Ah yes, I really didn't think about the ducting. The Wrangler's much smaller display screen definitely gave them some design freedom MB didn't have.

The Wrangler's interior looks quite nice. Looks like the G and Wrangler will no longer share the same windshield wipers.
