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

What about the safety? Have never seen a crash test of the G-class.

It's because the test equipment disintegrated after hitting the G.

Theres one I found.....

The interior looks fantastic and finally upmarket enough to challenge the Range Rover

I’m somewhat let down by the interior. It doesn’t look expensive enough. I like the current interior better. RR still has a nicer interior.

Imagine guys if they would bring back the short convertible version with that new interior. Sad it will never happen.

Who knows, they will build it if there is sufficient demand, or they could just keep the current SWB convertible in production. The body is largely hand-built anyway.

Furthermore, Daimler will most probably continue to produce the current G for military customers for some years.

I remember reading somewhere, there will be a LWB version of this (apart from the Maybach version)?

An LWB version is given and so is a 4x4 and a 6x6.

Merc might surprise us with a 10x10 codenamed centipede.

Wow! Very excited about this!

That will make the width 5mm shy of the full fat Range Rover.

Yes, but keep in mind that will not be felt in the interior. The RR does not have protruding wheel arches that measure into the overall width.

Trying to understand why some of the center armrest are offset and some centered?

Interesting, why did they use the start/stop button from the A class?

Which they took off a BMW.

Cheap silver plastic everywhere...

In the previous video they say it’s aluminum.

No doubt it is real aluminium, like the AMG GT. This car will be even more expensive in most configurations.

Opposite here. The analog instruments look ridiculous in every Benz, including this one. And part of why the G looks so highly interesting from the inside is the mix of modern and retro. The dual screens actually look best in this car, compared to the rest of the line-up. The narrow dash makes it look great.



Interesting. Over here the Range is a bit of a soccermon car, and the G is far too extreme for those ladies.

Completely agree with your point about the analogue gauges. However, there are always a handful of "cool moms" who want to differentiate themselves from the crowd by driving a G.

The new designo images make the G seem properly luxurious. The quilting on the sides of the lower console and doors looks nice. What does seem missing are the silver (aluminum?) window controls from the S.

The clock should have been where the differential locks are. Nobody uses those these days.

 

[G-Wag]

Hope they fix the reflection in the windows, it makes driving a lot more easier.

If the wide screen is optional, than that plastic looking tablet is still there : (
