Mercedes-Benz: Updates for the traditionalist 🎥
PIONEER The new G-Class from Mercedes seamlessly continues the success story of the model series established in 1979. It continues to rely on the ladder frame concept as well as rigid rear axle and independent front suspension.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is regarded as an automotive icon and is now once again underpinning its leading position among luxury off-road vehicles. It impresses with improved performance thanks to electrified drive systems, modern assistance systems, increased comfort and a plus in digitalization. Established in 1979, the model series offers a diverse drive portfolio and numerous customization options. At the same time, it retains its typical appearance.
The exterior of the G-Class has not changed significantly for 45 years. The exterior design of the new models is also only subtly modified. Visible innovations include a radiator grille with four instead of the previous three horizontal slats and bumpers at the front and rear. A new A-pillar trim and a spoiler lip on the roof trim contribute to improved aerodynamics and increased noise comfort.
Luxurious and functional
The interior is luxurious and functional. With the integration of the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, the new G-Class is more digital than ever before. Keyless Go, temperature-controlled cup holders, the 3D surround sound system from Burmester and the MBUX high-end rear-seat entertainment system provide increased comfort on request. There are also additional and enhanced safety and assistance systems.
Benchmark in the off-road sector
The new G-Class is also based on the tried-and-tested ladder frame concept, three mechanical differential locks, off-road reduction, rigid rear axle and independent front suspension. The high ground clearance and long suspension travel form the basis for the outstanding off-road characteristics of this vehicle: climbing ability of up to 100 percent on suitable surfaces, ground clearance of at least 241 millimetres, maximum fording depth of 70 centimetres in water and mud passages, driving stability on slopes of up to 35 degrees and an angle of inclination of 31 degrees at the front and 30 degrees at the rear.
All engines are now fully electrified. As mild hybrids with 48-volt technology, they offer increased performance and reduced consumption. The first fully electric variant of the G-Class will complete the model portfolio at a later date.
