Are you excited by the transition to six cylinders in the G550? Let us know in the comments below!
Always excited when luxury brands downsize their powertrains. Lexus' going to nasty loud four cylinders made my decade! Gotta wean them off the gas somehow, I guess. Seriously, it is still a nice inline six...not so bad. With the weight saving from that carbon fiber tire cover it might get double digit mpg.
No, cuz that's what cheap GLE450's got.
Inline 6 is best option. Less moving parts and no vibrations compared to 4 cylinder. Weight is key. The mild hybrid M256 is MB’s best engine. Should dump all V8s. Hope the offer the G450d in the US. Best g model ever.
No. Need V8!
Glad the US gets to keep the bull bar, really helps prevent the pedestrians getting stuck in my grill
There tends to be a big reliability difference when you go from a larger displacement engine that didn't need to work as hard to a smaller engine that works much harder, even if it increases the total power, it usually sacrifices reliability.
Generalization nonsense. The I6 has been around for years and there haven't been any major issues with it.
The most reliable one doesn't have engine
Something so fitting about the rumble of a V8 with a G wagon. The 6 cylinder just won’t do it
Agreed.
As a owner of G wagon, I don’t understand the designers engineers why would you put a camera on a bumper I live in New York people don’t know how to park. They hit you from front and back. That’s the first thing that will go second thing replacing metal plastic. This vehicle man worthy quality, endurance reliability that’s the hallmarks of a good vehicle.
The US version will have a bull baron the front bumper.
@@kldstl respect
The speed they are cutting down number cylinder in 2030 we will have 4 cylinder tri turbo g wagon. 😮😢
More like 4 cylinder quad turbo or 2 cylinder octa turbo g wagon 😂
Don’t we already know of a 0 cylinder EV G Wagen on the immediate horizon?
4 cylinder diesel g wagons already exist just not in USA market
@@Carfan678 we need diesel wagon !
One cylinder, with 8 turbochargers
Great content. Thank you mate 🥃
@2:28 "...On a more street-oriented tire." As if ANY G-Wagon owner takes their vehicle off-road. ;-)
Some do. I did.
Waiting for this video
Since a long time
Beautiful. Love the new look.
It sounds strange but the change in A pillar is throwing off the proportion in certain angles maybe it’s just a placebo
Did I miss it? No pricing for the US market?
Waiting to see the coefficient of drag on the E version.
I wish we could have the off road version of the new 550...
Look Good, but not sure of the quality of an HighTech inside so I’m still keeping my 2014 W463 Designo model.
Clint, I’m digging the new beard!
When the gt63s is it gonna be in the us
LOVE IT ❤
Nobody who actually owns one, ever gripes about not having MBUX in a G-Wagen.
Love it still proper G-Wagon
I like this new G-Wagen. But dam that sticker price. Can't afford this shite.
The electric version is going to be a great rock crawler. Like the Rivian, one motor at each wheel gives it the ultimate direct control and traction rather than trying to constantly modulate a single engine at the front through a multitude of linkages.
Depends on how it’ll be implemented. ICE with the 9 speed transmission means great gear reduction and the full output of that engine can make its way to one wheel if needed (unlike a multi motor EV which only one motors output can influence a given wheel if the others are stuck or freewheeling).
The changes to the cylinders are government policies being implemented.
Been waiting for the inline-6 to come to the G-Wagon. It's so powerful and smooth, it always made sense to me.
No major changes since 30 years
Well it hasn’t been changed for decades until the second generation came out in 2018. So I’d say the redesign is pretty insignificant. Kind of like 911
@@alexsenin3632
Indeed 👍
Not true. Rack and pinion steering, individual air suspension on front and rear. In fact, the only thing in common with the original G wagon is the styling. Looks the , the fact is absolutely everything is different, even the body structure.
@@Wised1000
Am talking about the "major" changes on shape design not mechanicals.
@Jackson-son
Like the 911, it's an iconic design statement. In fact, for 95% of the people who buy these, that's all that matters. 85% of the price is simply to "wear it" like a clothing accessory. Only a very select few care it can hang on and climb a wall like a fly.
Talk about a flamer😂😂😂
The karTRASHIANs will be thrilled!
It would have been a much bigger change if they brought g350d to north american markets
The design of a spare tire hangs on the tailgate is awful.
cant wait for the electric one, ouuffffff 🔥🔥🔥
Hate the new steering wheel
mercedes should be ashamed for making 550 a 6 cylinder.
200k for a 6 cylinder car..
Porsche says hello.
No to the ev version 😭
Drives terrible in ICE version. Wonder if handling will be better with EV battery pack’s lower center of gravity
I’d never buy any electric crap. I need V8 minimum.
Looks like garbage. Always has. The only reason people see it as anything other than garbage is because of the emblem on the front. Put an isuzu badge on it, and no one would buy that garbage. Remember the Isuzu Trooper? Same look, different badge. You want to impress a girl? Buy anything that has that Mercedes elblem on it. If she is not about brand names and labels, you will never impress her with the look of this thing. That's my kind of girl!
Edit: Isuzu even had an Acura emblem slapped on the front of theirs (Acura SLX), and it still didn't take. Sorry, but only a Mercedes emblem will do.
Just buy a Jeep for 1/3 the price and is much better off road, or a bronco.
Wrangler 392 is 100k
The G stands for Gestapo!!
guter Punkt
