The German military equivalent to a Jeep Wrangler, the #MercedesBenz #GWagon quickly grew in popularity over the last two decades when it was formally introduced to America. Often the number one choice for celebrities, the all-new 2019 #G550 carries over everything that we loved about the old one, with a massive improvement on the inside and in the ride quality. It now feels like its worth over $100,000 but before you decide on one, we must suggest checking out the AMG model for another $25,000. #MercedesBenzG550

Some people prefer the rustic analog look for aesthetic purposes. Plus for a measly $800.00 additional, you can't really complain. At that price point, that's pocket change.

Back in the 90s before they were selling it in the Mercedes dealer you could buy them in a private dealer; it came in two chooses of trim two doors soft top and four doors. The private dealer were selling it for $100,000. Since it became very popular Mercedes decided to selling it in their dealer.

[@docduc]

You cannot get a front camera on this G550 due to the front bar. You can only get it on the G63. If you put in eco mode it goes into a sailing mode, even though there is no sailing boat symbol like in the G63, but you will see the rpm drop to idle. It also has cylinder activation mode. It is super comfy and way more liveable than the last generation. Last generation G wagon gives you a feeling of driving and old truck down an old dirt road.

[@TheZchauvin]

Maybe I’m weird but I love the the box shape of this vehicle, the Land Rover defender, LR4. If I could have a G wagon body, Toyota Land Cruiser reliability, and 4Runner price I’d be in heaven. Could do without all the screens inside the vehicle though. GPS is about all a person needs if they were ever to be honest.

[@siphobennett8170]

Awesome review...you always cover good practical details and you have reviewed some rather interesting vehicles. Keep it up!

[@EchoSigma6]

I like the boxy shape and roominess. Toyota should do something like this design with their Landcruiser. However, only a small percentage of owners will actually take this off-road.

[@huythai1222]

James Chung are you seriously saying the LX/ LC isn’t boxy enough 😂. Both of them costs less and they can off-road just as good as the G.

[@EchoSigma6]

Huy Thai: nope, I’m not saying that. I just like the square hard angle of the G and wished the LC had that. I just don’t care for Toyota’s design language but like their build quality.

[@hugdeath929]

On road dynamics?? A great deal of the video seemed to be spent apologizing for what MB didn’t do properly with this vehicle. I’ve never understood the draw. Like you said the rear of the vehicle is just now useable. Aside from the name and massaging seats why is this vehicle worthy of my hard earned dollars? It isn’t. Thank you for the review and thank you for always being straight with us.

Lexus LX570 and GX460 are much better, and ACTUALLY are OLD SCHOOL DONE RIGHT. This G wagon will just cost a fortune to maintain, and will be plagued with issues. I mean just look at Belen Solomon’s new G wagon, it’s practically a lemon already lmao. Not to mention she’s been through like 4 different G wagons , another one which was a lemon as well. I’ve had my 05 Land Cruiser since new, and now have 272,000 miles on it. Never had any issues whatsoever, everything works just like it did when I bought it 15 years ago.

[@BeesonsCars]

It’s a totally unique car from anything in it’s price range. Plus it has the most road presence of any non super car under 300k imo. Also, the G might be the highest quality MB. It feels like driving a bank vault on wheels. I love it but a lot of people don’t. It’s a very polarizing car that has had its reputation tarnished and simultaneously increased by the kardashian culture.
