The Mercedes Benz G Class looks as fresh and appealing as it always did. The versions are both imposing on the road, stamping their authority on the surroundings with ease. The G Wagen is authoritative and super-stylish at the same time. There are several signature design elements, including the classic body style, the black triple horizontal slat-grille, a new alloy wheel design, and more. These are some differentiating elements, while the rest is like the AMG G 63.

If people were anxious about missing out on a lot of power and torque, then that will not be a concern. The engine comes from the Mercedes Benz S-Class and offers a lot of torque and power. The torque laden feel is unmistakably thrilling when you are driving. There is more punch now, and this comes in a linear and more predictable flow for buyers as well. The hefty SUV goes along smoothly due to the refined engine, although the effect is not as smooth and near-effortless as you would feel in an S-Class luxury sedan, for example. You also hear some engine noise, although the effect is still ultra-refined. The note of the engine is also more attractive to the ears. You will also enjoy lower running and other costs as compared to the AMG version, although the fuel efficiency figures are not that impressive.

The Mercedes Benz G Class offers great off-roading capability and the regular driving experience is also neat. However, the visibility at the back is poor due to the chunky spare wheel. You will also not like the lumpy and bouncy ride despite its adaptive dampers. That is one department where the G Wagen was expected to offer a considerable improvement over other SUVs in this segment. But it is not to be. The SUV still drives in a powerful manner, outclassing many other cars, but handling still needs work. It has the independent suspension system for the front while the rear gets rigid beam axles. Of course, the SUV can take potholes, rough roads, and bumps with aplomb.
