The G-Wagen has always been one of motoring-s intriguing anomalies. It was designed back in the late seventies as a light-use military vehicle; used and abused mostly in the deserts of the Middle East. It gradually gained a cult following as a road car, though, and over time it became a popular left-field alternative to the Land Rover Defender and Jeep Wrangler. But it was always a bit of a shed mechanically, much like the models it sought to compete with

In my view such a daisy appraisal by what appears to be an ignorant motoring journalist, just playing to a subdued background for a vehicle test.
The Gelandenwagen was originally built for proper off road and extreme situations and it delivered. You should not compare or even discuss a Land Rover whether its a Defender or Range Rover with the Gelandenwagen.
I am disappointed in the removal of the SA. (Solid axles) Mercedes in my view playing into the sissy territory, category. I hope the G wagon is still offered with solid axles as in the 350 D professional.

I am amaized reading people comments how few understand what a real capable 4x4 is, and its uses. and for all intent and purposes this is how the G Wagon built its reputation. I hope to be proved wrong in the next 20 yrs but this -modernised- G Wagon pretty much spells the end for that model as a true and respected 4x4. The end of a legend, what a shame. I hope they still will build a profesional version? Go Jimny and Lan Cruiser 70 series I guess!

I truly hate the new head lights! Somehow they managed to ruin the exterior. It is the same with the vents inside the cabin tremendously ugly design! G is my dream machine and if some day can afford I'll go to a well preserved W463 from the final editions.

Not challenging enough for a G review. I live in Norway and drive through those conditions for 5 months of the year in my RWD 2015 Tesla Model S no problem. Unstudded winter tires as well.

This may be the most desirable of all the G-class models currently on sale. Yes the AMG is nuts fast but this is the one I'd actually want to own and drive everyday.

I will have to wait 8-10 years and get one used for a fraction of the price. However, I fear that these things will not have the usual Merc turbo depreciation.

thank you Auto Express for this video! I've been longing for a review of the diesel version of the new G, but all you can watch is: G63 here, G63 there.

I love the Unimog, Jeeps, & Land Rover. The G Wagen is a soccer mom ride; it just doesn-t work in mud or on the trails here in Nor Cal.
reply

as a G owner I think it looks less aggressive to jeep like. and for the luxury. if i wanted an S class I would of bought one.

Better than an Anglo Indian Range Rover any day, fedup of u reliability of range over and now driving a g wagon, just a joy
