2018 Mercedes-Benz G-Class first drive

The Mercedes G-Class is a style icon that’s always demanded attention during its 40-year history, but previous versions have been frankly pretty rubbish in a number of areas. Can this all-new version address those shortcomings? We certainly hope so, because the car is still ludicrously expensive.

Looks surprisingly sleek and modern, a significant change in exterior and interior after only one interaction. Great review!

This vehicle is worth every euro, pound or dollar, that it costs.

Great review. A few seconds of video of the mighty G climbing a few rocky hills and wadingg some muddy water would be welcome.

[SuperWolffie]

Like your video. Love this car. But perhaps the 400 d better suits me.

[U..R..L]

Thanks for the nice presentation for this nice SUV, Do you know how can I have the new G class with the best price in France?

Thanks

Nice review still a very expensive box

[juststuff]

I love seeing cutaways of the off-road ability footage, only to realise a Toyota Yaris could traverse the same off-road course!

Great video but mileage misinformation. It's the same engine carried over. They 11-13 mpg. Even if it were much improved I doubt it would get 21mpg

[codmobile]

Please could you review the Ssangyong Rexton G4 again..?

And what a lesson Mercedes-benz gave to LAND ROVER(defender) ...

[swanblake]

In L.A. this and a Tesla come standard issue. You will blend in quite easily
