My main man Autojosh made a thread earlier detailing the new Iconic car from German auto Giant, Mercedes Benz..The G Class (G-Wagen/Wagon short for Geländewagen, "cross country vehicle") and some of y'all were already saying they would get the older one like the early 2000's model and just update with grills and stuffs...sorry to bust your bubble but the 2019 Model is fully redesigned from the ground up..Yes it looks very similar to the current model which has remained largely unchained since it launched in 1979..That's a whooping 40 years of Girth, In all these years the car has grown from a military styled Juggernaut to a luxury yet rugged all terrain vehicle with amenities that can rival the most luxurious brand yet keeping that rugged engineering it is known for.

The external changes are quite easy to miss. Mercedes didn't want to change an Iconic look, sort of the way Land Rover has kept the unmistakable Range Rover shape and profile, so the exterior changes were quite subtle but it is on the inside and underpinning that had the most change (Thankfully, Not the APC's Kind ) has occurred. The Second generation W464 G Class was launched on January 14, 2018 on the NAIAS Auto Show in Detroit.

In contrast to its predecessor, the new G-Class has grown in width by 121 millimeters, and 53 millimeters in length, and now has 6 millimeters more ground clearance.[85] As compared to its predecessor with the same engine, the weight savings are around 170 kilograms.[86] Despite all this, the vehicle visually differs from the W463 very little.

Due to the age of the basic concept of the previous model, the technical changes are significant. Among other things, the front axle now has independent suspension instead of a rigid axle; the rear axle remains solid. The low range gear ratio was shortened from 2.1: 1 to 2.9: 1. The new model now has the familiar digital cockpit from the S-class. At launch only the G550 will be offered

Although Mercedes hasn’t detailing pricing for the G550, the SUV comes exceptionally well-equipped for what’s likely to not dip below the outgoing model’s $125,000 (N45625000) price of entry, minus cost of Importation and Custom duty. Standard equipment includes leather upholstery, power-adjustable front seats with memory, a Burmester-branded audio system, automatic emergency braking, active lane control, and keyless ignition. A 12.3-inch touchscreen for infotainment is standard, while a secondary display of the same size is on the options list to take the place of a conventional gauge cluster. Individual options are limited but include adaptive dampers, massaging front seats, a heated steering wheel, and a rear-seat entertainment system.
