Love how G-class customers buy a literal brick and then complain that it's noisy on the motorway. If that's all you buy it for then get a GLS

I would not have realized that it had a facelift had it not been in the title, it looks the same as before

[sirKhaliun]

Autogefühl Thomas is the best. Full explanation

[finnwindu]

I love this car so much, it is my grail vehicle. Currently daily a 22 GLE and I don't think I'll ever stray away from the silver arrows after owning it. They are on another level

[thewholeeventhorizon]

I’m so happy I went ahead ordering a loaded 24. Arrives next week with current steering wheel😊 and IWC clock. I’m a very happy camper.

[doublehh]

Finally car manufacturers are getting the hint that velocity performance shouldn’t be pushed higher. Suspension improvements and efficiency instead should be pursued.

[aex.og_ace]

This is so epic
Like the G63 was epic from the starting and they improved it further
Like they gave the touch screen, the more improved suspensions and kept the V8 🔥 ❤.

Need your vote / comment on this! Soon coming: Electric G-Class presentation. After that: Driving the updated G-Class. For that, I d like to know from you, which version we should drive for you. G63 (would have that new suspension), G500, G40d or electric G-Class (would have that G turn turnaround on standstill). The electric one is of course the most "new" one and has special EV features, the G63 has the new suspension, the "normal" models are somehow more traditional G-Class and I personally favor them, but then again (more than) half of the G-Class is sold as G63 anyways and thus it might be the most important model. Just a few thoughts. Please leave a comment which engine version you would like to see to be driven by me! /Thomas

[darrenbodfish]

Yeah you really got to know the G glass very well to know the difference between the old models 🤷‍♂️

[kaloc.]

Someday the g-wagon will get a worthy double moonroof😮

[gcznmnp]

Thomas, I'm a Mercedes-Benz owner-driver (25+ years) so I've driven most of the Classes. I took a G-Class for a test drive once. Der Geländewagen ist sicherlich, ,Panzer gebaut".

[fethudinsemir]

People don't understand how much I've been looking forward for an update

[powershot]

Thank you Thomas for a fantastic overview!

Really impressed with the numerous technical improvements in this mid-cycle enhancement while keeping the G’s iconic style. Well done Mercedes! 👍🏼

[Guuggel]

I'd like a green G450d with a brown interor

[abuanwp]

Anything that Thomas review, I'll make time to watch it. lol!

[the.mylooo]

Don't get me wrong, but there's this and the s class which in my opinion they still like a proper mercedes Benz build.

[Fluterra]

Driving comfort is very very good in my 2019 G550. Every passenger falls asleep within ~30 minutes. The new gen 2019 with a V8 is probably the best deal ever, at ~$100K USD.
