They didn't mention that in Europe you can still get a proper utility-spec G-Wagen with a diesel, rugged interior with plaid cloth seats, smaller-diameter wheels, and all kinds of available options. They don't get imported into the US because Mercedes customers here really only want these cars for cruising.

[@Max-jt8gq]

You can't get a utility G-Class in Europe or anywhere. These aren't build anymore. I'm from Germany and these rugged G-Class only existed up to the 80s maybe early 90s. They are top of the line luxury everywhere. Although we still have an i6 Diesel engine but even those cost 100.000€. The cheapest G-Class is 95.021,50€ in Germany.

@@Max-jt8gq you are wrong sir. It is called g-glass Professional and you could buy it new for around 60k euros including VAT up until last yeat i think. This makes it a lot cheaper than the luxury version and with even better offroad potential. And i guess its gonna be a version based on this last generation too. It was unlike the luxury one not G350d but G300d with i think 184hp engine if i am not wrong (only diesel engine in this version thats why i wrote the comparison with the 350d) and this is absolutely normal non limited edition vehicle and a civil one too, this is not the military version

Before "they" started importing G Wagons into the United States, the G Wagon was available from Europa G Wagon in Santa Fe, NM. Europa spent the money to have the G Wagon crash certified and was the sole importer and distributor for new G Wagons in the US starting in 1993. Europa also worked on certification of the G500 G Wagon starting in 1997, with certification for sale in the US in 1999. Mercedes purchased the distribution rights for the G Wagon in 2002 from Europa and began distribution of the G Wagon through Mercedes dealers in 2003 and that's how "they" started selling the vehicle in the US in 2003.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

Yeah, I remember seeing ads for Europa Imports in the DuPont Registry in the 1990s. And if you find one on the market today, they all have the Europa sticker on the door jamb.

I own a 20 year old G-wagen a '97 G320, and iits' 10 times more solid as an off roader than a brand new Wrangler. The best part is if I get in a wreck I'll live, having a serious wreck in a wrangler is a death sentence. Don't get me wrong I love Wranglers, but they aint no G-wagen. Sadly most new G-wagen buyers will never take them off road. pure sin.

I believe this vehicle would make a great travel multipurpose rig versus say, a Motorhome which would really cost tons of $$$ to keep on the road.

I think in Germany and other European countries they offered or might still offer a stripped out G Wagon for industry and such. I think if they offered that version here they would be a hit. I mean you have people buying wranglers for $60,000+. So keep the lockers and the general drive components that make this truck really good, ditch the V8 for a good inline 6, no leather maybe MB Tex, no flashy chrome, no power seats, basic stereo etc etc. stripped down for around the $60,000 price range ish I would buy it, look at the Lexus LX $88,000ish but size wise, the GX $65,000ish. Heck a 4 runner top of the line is close to $50,000. I think the could do it, it would cut away from the exclusivity of it, but... I dunno... my line of thinking.

[@Dr.TJ_Eckleburg]

I think they were speaking more in comparison to what generally comes standard on this car and other new luxury SUV like the new Discovery -- just plain all-season SUV highway tires. These may not be Duratracs or whatever but they're a huge step up from stock and also the standard tire that comes with the Rubicon.

[@famousmidnight]

I think he meant off-road capable. Go look at the tires on older g-wagons and you'll understand

Now that the new generation is out the older ones may drop in price, but there is so few of them out there that the price may not change much anyway.

[@modena315]

Front camera is there on the new G550 but it's deactivated upon arrival in the US due to front bumper blocking it. But on the G63 it's activated because the bumper sits low. Stupid bumper design/placement .

Because no one will buy Non-Amg G class. so they didn't designed others properly. 😂

I grew up riding dirt bikes on those very trails. As soon as I saw the wooden sign at the beginning I knew where they were!

[@JsGarage]

That’s the Falken Rubitrek and isn’t the same as the wild peak AT3w version found on the Gladiator.

[@CFG39]

If Jeep offered the Wrangler with a roof that was not leaky, loud, and removable they'd sell a lot more. The G550 is a much better all round vehicle that can be driven on long journeys without the driver and passengers losing their hearing. I see the G, Discovery, Range Rover and Range Rover Sport as the last excellent off-roaders that are still nice places to be when you're not off road.

Right on Alex, we have the G Pro down here in Australia because our Army has recently transitioned its fleet to them with 2500 units purchased.

@@lachie8888 Still costs like 80k 😧

[@campkira]

Just but they base on older system...

[@lachie8888]

Andrea, not sure where you are based but down here in Oz the toughest and closest competitor to the G Pro is the Toyota 70 series Landcrusier. When you factor on all of the aftermarket kit that you need for overlanding to bring the Cruiser up to the spec of the G it is a more expensive option: - Rear wheel track correction. - Rear conversion from leaf springs to coils. - GVM upgrade to match the G’s 1,200kg (2,645 pound) load carrying ability. - Bull bar - Winch preparation - Roof rack - Dual cranking batteries - Load-rated tie down points - Under body protection - Tinting for heat - Snorkel All of the above is standard on a G. Many would say the Cruiser is overpriced as well but we are talking about a very low volume, very durable, fit-for-specific-purpose overlanding niche. Anyone who considers purchasing a more conventional and affordable vehicle like a Ford Ranger isn’t going to make the G stack up in their minds on both cost and urban performance (solid front axel limits its road handling). The G is an extreme vehicle for extreme and conditions. Takes a certain set of priorities to value to G but if those parameters are there then it’s an amazing vehicle and one that stacks up beautifully... Can’t tell you how awesome it is for overlanding.

[@dimmacommunication]

@@lachie8888 Are you talking about the G professional ? I've checked and It's on sale in your market , but in Europe and USA isn't on sale probably cause of pollution requirements ( wich I think are crap ,forcing people to spend more money on so called " eco " cars 🙄 that are unrealiable ) Wich engine code does it get ?

[@KretinoSantino]

Your 12yo XA30 is girlies car and not an offroader ...... or I'd rather say it's one of the worst ones. It's light but it has low approach angles, low ground clearance, insufficient suspension travel. Traction control is engaged even in locked diff, so the wheels that should pull you out are skidding. Even with TC turned off they skid alot. This wasn't offroad course to break a car, this was a car to hand out to reporters to thrash it little bit but not destroy. But yet, your Rav4 would not make it. At certain points, you will either be stuck, car sitting on floor and 2-3 wheels in air. Or your wheel would just hit the fender and game over for you.

the G is a great off road vehicle, I'm sure of it. But what you guys are showing here is .. barely off road? I remember being 15 years old and driving a defender up and down a curb at 25 mph for fun, because you couldn't feel it. I remember driving a Mitsubishi pajero up a cliff in a sand mine... I remember seeing old Lada niva driving sideways with its nose pointed up a hill... We all remember Touareg absolutely destroying the deserts of Africa. My point is - if you have the opportunity, you take it. For example - the segment here 10:16 is meant to be driven at 20-30mph... the car can handle it, and if not - it is your job to find out and tell Mercedes they need to re-work their car! I could probably pass you with my Passat TDI on that track and I'm not even kidding.

Unfortunately, the price must be paid if one seeks a V-8 power train certified for road and highway use here in America. As compared to Jeep SUV’s, the consumer is seriously looking at big bucks getting that out the door. I really don’t like cylinder deactivation mode, and I sure as hell do not like engine off at a stop light. Jeep Grand Cherokees don’t hold there value as a Mercedes would. There is always the Toyota Land Cruiser, at over $90,000 here in California. But the 550 I would say would be really enjoyable as my only all-around one and only car I’d own.

[@CoelhoSports]

the 4x4 4-door unlimited wrangler sport with the anti-spin rear axle and AT's is under $33,635, so this G is more like 4 decent wranglers, and think of all the mods available for the wrangler (and the 4R's in the background).

One of the ONLY MB that will hold its value. Not many people cross shopping Wrangler and this because they would just buy both.

Gotta send it to your boy up in Canada so he can test it for real and put it through some deep mud

[@mr.nmoney3554]

This is exactly what the Jeep wagoner should go after. It should just forget about competing with Cadillac or Lincoln and go straight after the g wagon. Put solid axels with arb front and rear lockers with a power wagon suspension. Put the 6.4 liter V8 in it and the grand wagoneer the hell cat v8. Make the interior out of marine grad fabrics and materials that can get wet and easy to clean.

Wooow. I liked it so much

[@Tedkelvin]

The more I respect the Humble Suzuki Jimny. Mighty mouse.

[@mrkruger5108]

Best off roader in the world. And Jeeps

[@salvador_mano4x4]

you got the wrangler cheap there, here a wrangler starts at more than 40.000€

[@Corsair8X]

I think for that price I'd prefer to get a Rubicon JL and a Rubicon Gladiator.

[@razvandobos9759]

Well, this is the rich man's Jeep Wrangler.

[@yosam5184]

Wrong, maybe 2 Wranglers worth...LOL. A friend has the special edition $180 I think, what a rig for the rich and famous.

[@AG3333333]

The Ranger Raptor also has its exhaust tips positioned under ahead of the rear axle.

[@josephwhiskeybeale]

I’d rather have two Wranglers and a Gladiator than a Mercedes.

[@playingbadgolfwell9732]

IMHO: In accessing the "best off-road SUV", you can't just look at the off-the-showroom-floor performance. You also have to consider the availability of after-market support and accessories. A true off-road SUV should be highly-customizable and able to be personalized to the owner and his/her type of driving. Although I absolutely love my G-Class, there's no way I can pretend I have access to all the options available to Wrangler and Landcruiser owners.

[@sakapole]

Also a 350d inline 6 diesel 286 hp, a 400d inline 6 330 hp and the two V8. Anyone has enough power to move this amazing german car.

[@jonathanneethling]

I always dreamt of owning a G63. Until my buddy bought one. I’ve never been so disappointed in my life. The body roll was that of the original Land Rover discovery. It was cramped for the price and size of the vehicle, the AMG engine felt under powered compared to that of the cls63 AMG I had been driving. Blind spots very terrible. It was long after that, he sold it. I can’t help but wonder why people still bug them. They never go off road. I blame the Kardashians 😂

[@SaschaHummel]

Who wants to by any AMG earns a G. I use my G's as work horses that's what they where made for! A G-Waggon without plugs in the floor to get the water out isn't a G. So go for W460 or W461 all others a pump or soccer om cars.

[@paulm6481]

It doesn’t look three times as cool. In fact it doesn’t even look as cool as Wrangler. So no, clearly not worth it unless you are driving it to the mall in Beverly Hills.

[@boohoomoron7629]

Same can be said for most wranglers. Infact I might add, most wranglers spent most of their days attending *Bro conference* while the rest are soccer mom wagons.

[@aidenp5768]

Paul M But remember looks doesn’t make the G wagon worth more. The tech, Luxury, power and paint even the Mercedes Quality over that Chrysler quality makes it worth more.

[@waverleyjournalise5757]

The G Wagen is legendary. It's a proper shame that people don't use it off road most of the time. And the facelift version is even better

[@ficoprooo]

Haha its so expensive, it hurts to watch it go heavily off-road ing

[@jojikim3105]

LOL THATS OFFROADING?? CUTE.

[@TFLoffroad]

Sure thing, feel free to take your $134K G on the Rubicon Trail and please post a video. We’d love to see $20k of damage.

[@halffast1850]

@@TFLoffroad Exactly the G wagon is NOT practical to take off road unless you can afford to throw away money like that. Honestly you can't compare it to a wrangler due to the fact who would buy this at that price and treat it as if it were a wrangler or even want to do the things you can in a wrangler. It's a beautiful ride just not practical for off road due to cost.

[@ruggeddude1560]

HOW IS IT SITTING IN PARK WITH MOTOR RUNNING?? DO YOU GET GAS FUMES SMELL IN THE CAB???

[@jeromep3182]

It does have a front camera but Mercedes Benz accidentally covered it with the brush guard up front so from the factory it’s built on the truck but deactivated by the factory.
