#Mercedes #MercedesGClass
Awesome car the G580, but awful use cases.. Because When you get to the offroad course you are already at half battery left, use it for some offroad and for the return home trip you have no battery.
Personally, I would take the G-class. But I understand if someone would rather want the G-class.
have you considered the G-Wagon ?
The Gelandewagen for me is my preferred choice
Only Gs get the G
😂😂
Clearly, a person of class. With an open mind.
12:11 The smoothness of that move 😎
😄
I've always lusted after the G63, so It blows my mind to say this, but I think I'd take the G580 EV.
You are the first reviewer I have seen to mention an animal free interior. Thank you!
Highly appreciated!
I love electric version.
You son of a...
Diesel G class will always be my favourite, slow but just fine
The diesel in this facelifted version is not slow at all
I want the 2.0 4-cyl petrol one, the G350, but we dont get it in Europe.
Nah the 95 ps Wolf and Puch G will always be the fastest, fastest at rolling downhill because the recruit driving it fucked up that is.
Good update keep it up the good work 👍

Finally, came for the G-turn. Wasn’t disappointed! 😂 Best invention since the famous bounce mode.
Enjoying the videos on the channel 👍👍👍
thanks my friend !
Probably covers the needs of those who drive around Berkeley square or the Casino in Monte Carlo - for others go for the petrol/diesel engine.
This young woman’s giggle made the video 👱♀️
Nice shot with the nutcracker suite❤
The first ever eutogrfuehl clip I ever watched was about the G wagen 4-5 years ago, and never missed a clip from there on, by the way great review
Thats so lovely to hear 👍 thanks for supporting us for that long 🙏🙏
I'd take the EV but that's just me.
I am sure when people buy a G wagon, they are looking to buy for a status not the other parameters such as efficiency, value for money etc. So, they will go straight to G63
I will be stealing charging cables of the g-wagons in the future. They need a better lock for that back storage.
Lol autogefuel is becoming more a romantic show now lol
Continental must be loving seeing the G-Turn and G-Steering, bet the tyres wouldn’t last long when owners do it on paved roads.
The LiaMeter on full throttle
Mention please if the seat can still move to the rear when you seat as well as you mention there is room above the head. If there is no more move to the rear, should say is not convenient for more than 189 tall.
In my opinion, the G-Wagon is so unique I would only compare the different models to each other. Most reviewers like to do acceleration tests, sports car handling tests, etc. In my mind, it's great for short jaunts to the store where you may need lots of trunk space, but primarily for off road in luxury. For carrying lots of people via long highway trips, there are many better suv choices.
Thank you Thomas and Lia for an amazing review! Especially appreciated how you included driving impressions for the 500/550, 63, and 580.
The picnic idea with the charging cable box is ingenious. 😀 Glad the traditional spare tire is available for the electric version, as is the conventional grill - at least with the European configurator. For those of us in North America, it will be interesting to see what trim options will be offered beyond the initial special edition models. Personally I think the black plastic around the headlights makes the front end look cheap.
Think Mercedes did an excellent job with revising the gas powered models, addressing many of the shortcomings of the W463a/W464 series while keeping what people love about this vehicle. Thanks again for a fantastic video and keep up the terrific work!
🙏😐
Doesn't matter , can't afford neither one of them
Why don‘t u have money?
God is good. Have Faith that you will have one in due time.
@@TheRealYaro God is good? With all that agony in the world? Lol
@@TheRealYaro God is a real prick
Cant really grasp my mind around the God and faith under car reviews videos. Saw it so many times. Like God will give you 150k for a car...either you work your ass off (and I doubt motivation to buy a car is enough) or try the luck in a casino. But no god will give you G wagon. @@TheRealYaro
thank god they didnt make the mistake like with some other models by replacing the v8 but still theres an electric version
21:00 this is just crazy, look at Kalei how he holds the road!!! Gelik is Gelik so there is no need to whine here that it is electric and that it has audio. For those who like the sound of an angry Zeus there is a v8 version! I hope in tests with electric .he won’t knock his competitors into the dirt! 35:22 Wow, what a “voice” G-roar button, but in Mat’s test it wasn’t like that! So it’s not all that bad! 42:05 Consumption is also good! That is, if you drive in city mode for 60-80 km, you can drive up to 500 km/23 kWh Well, if you drive 130 km, then about 280 km/40+ kW.h... I think the G63 will travel 130 km + - the same amount!
Another video with cars from another universe
G53 AMG is the one for me
The G63 for sure, but it would be hard to choose between the AMG sport package or the new offroad package that you can get in the new 63.
Charding speed is the key ...
550 is the sanest choice even when a nicely spec'd version is ~$180k 💸
450d for me pls
In your opinion, which cars give the least motion sickness to kids in the rear seats?
Yeah, better make it two✌️
I like the leather one😂
Aaaaahhh!!! Sorry thats just me excited to start watching this!!0:28
If i can afford i'd get the ev.
Problem in our country the price is electrifying.
Best “SUV” ever!
Why the steering wheel not the new design?
this is avantgarde line, you probably mean the AMG steering wheel which was not specced on some of the shown cars. But they are available.
Can we do a G turn on an asphalt?
You should not but you could
Is still very early days in the EV development.
do you think Europe will ever get the 4-cyl 2.0 petrol version? The G350.
No
G53 AMG in the same satin black/brown
V8
I wish the g63 had a 4 cylinder hybrid like a true AMG.
The rear square box looks like a kids back pack and looks horrendous
The whole fucking car looks horrendous so it doesn‘t matter
It should have been a storage box BUT shaped like the normal round spare wheel box.. basically nothing should have changed
@@Twin.motors then the car would look even more horrendous
@@Twin.motorscry more about irrelevant stuff lool
Nah
17:09 G TURN COPY OF BYD YANGWANG U8.
lol Mercedes throwing shade at BYD YangWang 😂 22:40
Finally you revealed your height 😅
A go anywhere car which is essentially tied to the charger network you might as well imagine an 100 mile long electric cable coming out the back that's as far as you go away from a charging point 😂.
You can offroad this for an entire day. You can do the Schöckl course over 13 times on one battery. That's the height difference equivalent of Mount Everest. Combustion cars meanwhile are super inefficient when offroading.
Great video, Thomas - you never fail to give your honest, no-BS view on every car you test.
Question though - are you SURE you were referring to the Design Box when you were saying "it might get really hot"...???
Your girlfriend (?), Lia, looked super-cute on this shoot... 😉
overheating during wireless charging is mainly an iPhone issue, everyone forgets to mention this.
James bond kinda vibes
thank you for the review. I am surprised that you didn't more heavily consider the diesel,, probably they didn't have one to drive. But more torque, than the six gas version, better mileage and with the optional dynamic response shocks, would most likely have less roll than the six gas without the option.
In probably six months, maybe longer, Mercedes will offer their latest battery tech with far extended range. Tend to think that the resale value of this current E version will take a hit.
GEEEE wagon
Which ever one she likes is the one that I like, and would be the one I would get.
More Lia!
The acceleration tickled Lia's G-Spot?
What missing in Mercedes cars digital rear view mirror!
👌
A diesel all the way .
OMG make up your mind dude
Diesel
😮😮😮🤩🤩 electric ⚡️⚡️⚡️ is the future 👍🏻👍🏻
NPC
And not the present!
but not the G Klasse !
G380 EV aveva più senso
I had the dinosaur 240 GD with 72 hp for a few years, would skip all later models and take without no doubt the electric version. 1 motor on each wheel is the logical step for an off-road vehicle.
Wasted opportunity for Benz to name this the E-Wagon.
👍
👍
Worldwide EV Sales up 19% in March for third highest month in history
The Electric Viking
in europe in march 2024 they were down -8% .Almost 300,000 new electric cars were registered in Europe in March, making up about 21% of the total car market (which is down a bit from 23% last year).
For real guys only V8. It has a real roar. Electric motor good for toys.
The G-Class is laughable. Passabger weight can only be 400kg while the whole car weighs over 2 tons. Just stupid. And the range is almost nothing
Range is good and cops rarely have a scale with them
@@MaticTheProto it‘s bad, especially with the CV number
None, ready for 2025 Cayenne GTS, currently own 22 Macan GTS, G wagon is HORRENDOUS car to drive and seat, particularly for tall driver
electric
For me, personally the EV version kinda hurts the g-wagon brand as a whole
In which driving school did you learn to drive dis way? I have no driving license. If u drive like me, u will spend a ton on shockabsobers and brakes. And u might run into unpleasant surprises like stories that touch d wallet
Crab walk is more useful than G-turn
No
Sorry, Thomas, I don't like hearing your girlfriend scream when you accelerate.
Idiot! She‘s so cute!

I don't take the electric, You don't have charging stations in the jungle
Solar panels. Where is the fuel growing in the jungle 😂
4:31 it is not the same as in the EQS! the EQS has 118kWh! and Thomas should really visit a good hairdresser and a different cut cause his hair is getting super messy🥴
chinese cars can do this already

Legs❤
Only V8
V8 is better no need to watch this video
I wouldn't choose any of them - ugly, overpriced tanks .
The G class will not be real the G if it's electric
AMG or nothing !!!!
German EVs lol
poor specs, no future
iX, EQS, i4, i7 are the best EV you can get in luxury EVs. Tesla not even close......And coming soon Macan EV, new Taycan
I forgot this was the global warming channel.
Im a EV fan. Ive been driving EVs for 6 years and love them to bits. BUT this G EV is stupid, very bad engineering, incredibly heavy... Other EV manufacturers make their EVs lighter than combustion competitors. Clearly Mercedes doesnt know 2hat theyre doing yet
There is no point in buying that ugly shit. I would always prefer a GLS.
Ew. Looks like a Lada.
