The latest version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class features electrified drive systems, modern driver assistance technologies, enhanced comfort and advanced digitalization.
Available variants include the Mercedes-Benz G 450 d, G 500 and the Mercedes-AMG G 63, all featuring fully electrified engine options.
Inside the vehicle, the OEM says it has focused on quality and design. Elements from the exterior transition into the interior, such as the side air vents and the grab handle on the passenger side inspired by the round headlights.
The redesigned off-road control center now offers quick access to features like the Offroad Cockpit, to enhance the off-road driving experience. Standard features include a multifunction steering wheel upholstered in nappa leather, ambient lighting and comprehensive leather upholstery.
For UK models, the Exclusive Line interior features expanded use of nappa leather upholstery, ambient lighting for the air vents and a Burmester 3D surround-sound system. The optional Manufaktur package introduces the Superior Line interior, featuring active multi-contour seats, diamond design elements and exclusive stitching.
The all-new G-Class has the latest MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system with 12.3in driver and media displays. Smartphone integration via Android Auto Wireless or Apple CarPlay, digital radio (DAB+) and USB-C ports aim to maximize connectivity.
For an improved user experience, MBUX Augmented Reality for Navigation is also part of the standard equipment. The system superimposes graphical navigation and traffic information onto live images on the media display, which can help drivers find their way in complex traffic situations.
MBUX brings voice assistance into the G-Class. Certain actions can now be triggered without the “Hey Mercedes” wake term, with around 20 voice commands created exclusively for the vehicle.
Additional comfort features include temperature-controlled cupholders, wireless charging and the MBUX high-end rear seat entertainment system with dual touch displays. Keyless-Go enables convenient access and startup, and the dashcam captures traffic footage for added safety and documentation.
The standard Burmester 3D surround-sound system reportedly delivers improved audio quality, complemented by Dolby Atmos for an immersive experience. Dynamic Select allows for easy adjustment of vehicle characteristics, while three additional off-road driving programs cater to various terrains.
The new Offroad Cockpit provides essential data for off-road driving, displayed on the driver and media displays. The ‘transparent bonnet’ function, in conjunction with the 360° camera, offers a virtual view under the vehicle, enhancing visibility over obstacles.
The interior of the electrified Mercedes-AMG G 63 features sporty design details, including the AMG Performance steering wheel and AMG logos throughout.
The optional Manufaktur package of the AMG reportedly transforms the cabin into a luxurious lounge, with additional nappa leather trim, diamond design elements and active multi-contour seats with massage function and seat climate control.
Markus Schäfer, a member of the board of management and CTO at Mercedes-Benz Group, said, “The all-new G-Class raises the bar for real adventure on and off the road yet again. With an electrified drive portfolio, our pioneering MBUX infotainment system and additional comfort and off-road functions, it’s poised to continue its success story as THE Geländewagen. The all-new G-Class combines an outstanding driving experience with a state-of-the-art digital experience.”
