Mercedes G-Class--THE ULTIMATE OFF ROADER
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 12 сен 2024
- The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, or G-Wagon has been in production since 1979 and the basic mechanics remain unchanged. With three locking differentials, this body-on-frame truck is capable of climbing almost anything. It's known as a status symbol but at its core, it still loves the mud.
Competitors to the Mercedes G-Class are the Range Rover, Range Rover Sport,Land Rover Defender, Land Rover LR4, Land Rover Discovery, Jeep Rubicon, Jeep Grand Cherokee, Porsche Cayenne, VW Touareg, Toyota FJ Cruiser, Ford Raptor, Toyota Tacoma TRDpro, Nissan Xterra, Toyota Land Cruiser, Lexus LX470

Canadian Car Review
Motormouth Canada
And this year Mercedes made absolute record , sold 20 000 vehicles.
It looks like G will live forever. Which means today prices will be nothing compared to the one tomorrow :)
we know. dont want more video abdout this car. it's great and they won't change anything for the next couple decade
Finally, the right location for the G-class test! Forest, rain, coldy... Perfectly! Good job! I tired of lokking the tests G-class in stupid deserts.
Nice review of the G Class, now I know that I should get a Range Rover
Damn that's a beautiful looking vehicle...
How capable a vehicle is, ultimately comes down to how skilled the driver behind the wheel is. The only G wagons you will see out on the trails are 20-10 year old ones. By all means great truck all around. I'll say the closest competitor to this truck would be the 76 series Land Cruiser but we don't get it in North America, Australians love it.
Aliensurfer80 zxccc
status symbol mostly
Buck Futter unfortunately true. but if it wasn't that then Mercedes probably won't sell this.
Remember what the exactly people that buy these said about the hummer h2 and so, it must go because the environment and bla bla bla, hypocrites.
sad but true, because this vehicle is built for off road driving. buying this car only to show off in downtown or california beach or whatever should be a crime tbh xD
in usa maybe
Symbol that you can afford to buy one of the best offroad suvs in the market? what's your point?
This car would be perfect for these cold Quebec winter
You can diff lock most 4x4's, so a Suzuki vitara front and rear diff locked with decent tyres could do that incline I would imagine.
I do like the g wagon myself, definitely on the lotto win shopping list.
I really love the idea of one of these , I've owned jeeps and blazers , and trucks . This looks like a good of road vehicle that's practical for a man with kids
On twisty roads, it's like riding a small boat in bad weather.
The G Class combines elements of Mercedes Benz cars throughout the decades. The body is solid like a W123. The interior is light and airy like an R129. The gadgets are straight out of the latest Benz models with the fancy screens and buttons. Spec it with the 5.5 L V8 and you got a symphony to match. For those in the comments section complaining about the price tag and comparing it to other cars, please read this comment to educate yourselves.
Mercedes always makes awesome stuff 😍😍😍😍
All these envy comments... nice review, Zack!
Love love the G Wagon. My next vehicle. Can’t wait.
The blue colour of G class is looking so pretty 😍
Cars were narrower and wheel width also closer than what is now. So, roads out there are still narrow due to those roads were trotted by these earlier day vehicles, and that gives them additional advantage besides being light and manageable.
If you wanted to off-road, you wouldn't do it to a $100,000 luxury car. But you still know that it could, and that's what this car is selling. Call it image, call it a poseur's car, but that's the reality of something so expensive.
Want to off-road for real, buy a Wrangler and save the G-wagen for the ski resort.
superchan7 wrangler is trash car.
Mercedes is an institution
And quality costs my friend
Thats why rubicons destroy everyone at any track if its so called trash
Love the opening shot! Nice!! Just texted a lifted G for my channel - nice work!
For me one of the best cars in the world! Simply Brutal Class G .. G500..G63 AMG..G65 AMG !! Forever MBenz G Class or Gelandewagen !! Congratulations on the video of such a wonder.
Very funky looking.... kind of has that look of the Toyota Land Cruiser of the late 70's/early '80's I believe.
George Carlin
what's nice is body style doesn't change; engine okay; interior okay. tell me what happened to jeep comanches, or jeep cherokee , or jeep wagoners// ALL GONE.wtf?
Yes, I would love to own one if I win a lotto.
Love the square edges.
Holy crap that must have been scary, wow.
Wow! Almost as capable as a Rubicon, and at only 4x the cost!!
That's 4 fully-loaded Rubicons.
@@fredbrackely maybe (at least) it beats the famous Jeap 1-star safety rating? ... it ought to for those private-island pricesa
Almost as capable? Good job showing how stupid you are
I didn't see anything that my bone stock Suzuki Sidekick wouldn't be able to handle.
4:08 Mr. Motormouth turned into Mrs. Crappy Pants!
I can't wait to get my G63 in april. You bet i'm going to take it off road plus towing my wake boat. The frame rails and 3 locking diffs are what sold me. I wouldn't dare tow my 6000lb boat with a unibody suv. It sickens me that the G wagon is associated with the Kardashians and others who don't really know what this vehicle can do. Next for me after the G wagon is the Unimog.
Petegmp i completely agree with you i owne one and my wife has a range rover. but i love my gwagon.
Do you know of any good aftermarket accessories websites for G wagons. I'm looking for roof racks and seat covers maybe even a winch.
Petegmp Sorry man i dont i have both of ours stock. lol
Hey, Zack? Where were you testing them outside of whistler? You should see if you test them at the rally track! Outside pemb. Anyway, thanks. What a great job to have. Testing wagons😃👍
Awesome, want one (will need to hit a lottery sweepstakes to buy one// even Used Diesel)
FYI. The Defender was in North America for a few years, i.e. ~1993.
Nice car color and nice drive.
Cause anybody is going to do that with a $150,000+ Benz.. I think not
sure will
Indeed, replacing an 10+ year older one with a 2017 and yup, that is exactly the kind of road I am looking to take it on - with my non approved pop up tent on the roof. Not everyone is a LA poser.
give me one and i will
Gladly! But to be realiatic id like to drop an om602 in a surplus swiss army rig which can be picked up for 10-15k
Mine would be covered in mud
first class review sir!
Looks like a very nice SUV
great review
You're talking all about the fancy high end G-classes. But the line starts with 80,000€ for the 350d professional which has already 245 hp and all the stuff you need for real off roading.
Maybe this version is not on the north american market because of it's diesel engine.
Ain't a tank without the tracks honey!
I wonder how the new Land Rover Defender will compare in capabilities in its most off-road oriented trim. It might be an interesting alternative for those who don't want a big vehicle, don't like the Wrangler and can't afford the G-Class.
don't know why so many get excited about having front & rear lockers. most 4wd's have rear lockers as standard and it takes less than $1,000 to add a front locker. All genuine 4wd's have a center locker. Don't get me wrong, the G is a nice 4wd but you can usually tell someome has no idea about true offroading (not climbing kerbs in the carpark) when they say this is the most capable 4wd
Do you have a snow tire comparison/evaluation coming up or have I already missed it. thanks for the vid
Honestly best suv ever
The ultimate off roader that no one takes off road 🤦♂️
best capable SUV in America Maybe. Toyota 79 series is the best in the world's and most capable,reliable
was great but the buyers who made it more a status symbol made Mercedes-Benz rethink over it. They lowered it due to the sports lovers in the G63 and G65 flavors. Trust me Mercedes-Benz can make the best off road vehicles and if you don't believe me the G63 6x6 and the G500 4x4 is answer
Countries that need this cars cant afford them they good in many parts of Africa where most roads are crap
Hi Zack, When do you plan to review the new Q5? Thanks.
with all due respect, it's actually the ultimate status symbol.
I heard that Mercedes will change the design of this G63 I have search for it I have not seen any information about this I don't know if u have any information on this. Because right now our company is thinking of buying this car but we want to know if there will be changes tp this design in the near future. Pls, do let me know so that we will know what to do about this buy decision to be on the right side of the market thanks a lot as I wait for your reply.
The best ever car made!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aaaaaaa!!!!! :D
Because is made by the truck division of MB, because it was design with military applications in mind and because it copies a Romanian 4x4 legend car, ARO 244!
Many people say that this car is built like a tank. But one accident in London, a G500 squared flipped over just 1 roll, and the roof to A pillar started to bend. I look at Volvo XC90 roll over test, the XC90 actually flipped like 4-5 rolls, and there was no bend at all to the roof or any pillar. Is it a lemon tank?
Why does above a 100% grade/45 degree incline make it inaccessible by vehicle? She said that it was because of an equal rise and run (which is true), but that didn't explain why.....
99.9% of these G Wagons in L.A will only see the parking lot of Wholefoods , Valet Parking & the Beverly Center..
Good review, too bad it is not longer!
hey does this has pirelli scorpions ? earlier models have yokohamas
THE ULTIMATE STATUS SYMBOL. nothing else.
this is exactly like the VW Golf, the germans are selling you stories and history, nothing else.
V.C. Well to be honest, a fully loaded golf is miles ahead competition.
The g wagon is also much more capable than the competition. It has 3 locking differentials, nobody has that. It's narrow and it's basically a tank for the common people. Having tried both a modded jeep and a g class, the g is much more capable and will crawl anywhere you want it to. The only problem is that i was scared of breaking it considering the price tag.
But at work, one of our clients has a g 63 wagon and goes in heavy off roading, every panels on his truck are damaged but he has the money and is changing for a g 65 amg.
I guess the g class is off roader for the rich. Saying it's a bad truck, its being jealous
1. a fully loaded golf is actually a fully loaded skoda octavia.
2. a tank for common people? - land cruiser prado or v8.
3. heck, if you have the money to throw away after each off road session everything is a good offroader. simply because it's expensive doesn't make it good, it just makes it a status symbol. and the price tag definitely does not reflect any improvements compared to a land cruiser, that also has 3 locking diffs, and crawl control for that matter - talk about technology and reliability.
V.C. Well they don't do the land cruiser anymore. It must mean something.
I can't talk about the skoda. In canada we don't have it so the golf is our only german small car and it destroys the competition(mazda 3, honda civic, ford focus, etc)
Talking about reliability, the g wagon is 30 years old, mechanically there is nothing to break so during a session of off roading, nothing will stop you.
You're just jealous and probably British.
well, not british, eastern european, and while canada may have treacherous winters, eastern europe has bad streets, bad fuels, bad maintenance products, bad traffic conditions, worse drivers and a hell of a smaller wallet than other countries. So when we think about buying a car, you can bet it's a documented decision.
about building land cruisers, in eastern europe we get the 150 and the V8, both matching the G in terms of luxury. Australians also get the 70 series, because heck, they actually need it.
I've been driving german cars my whole life and honestly, i've become used to the fact that they will start eating up your wallet after 120.000 km. I currently drive a german car, and the only reason i keep it is for the japanese engine in it.
Jeep is still king of the mountain!
Awesome review well done.
It was awesome
People usually don't drive their nice new benz in a swamp
i prefer the wrangler, land cruiser, Armada and defender tbh
Uh sorry jeep and H3 best bang for the buck period
where is the steel ramp located I would like to give it a try
Austria.
This is actually still the 2016 model. I do not know why every god damn video about the 2017 G class is labeling and miss leading viewers by presenting this as the 2017 model. The 2017 model is not even out for the public yet, it is still just a prototype but will begin production somewhere in the 2nd quartal in 2017. It will have sligthly different exterior and a total overhaul on the interior..
I would like to see this thing beat a Land Cruiser
Funny how they didn't mention the Wrangler which is either as good or better for less money
Dream truck
you think thats the ultimate off roader, then you should see the marauder
This vehicle has so much character. But I can't afford it so I'm just gonna get the all-new Suzuki Vitara. 😎
So, what happened to Landcruiser?, you forgot?, how about driving G in winter for off road?,it stock in first pill up snow.
It's a real shame that people, for the most part, only buy them for the image...
What about the Land Cruiser!!!!
I don’t understand why Mercedes make the esp and abs turn off when I turn on the diff locks
G-Class is the ONLY kind of luxury 4x4 or non-luxury G-Professional 4x4 aka military version of the G-Class could drive up and down the Schockl Mountain in Graz Austria at speeds of 50 mph without falling apart. Yet the G-Class test drivers are driving these Gwagons on the Schockl Mountain 3 times a day up to 6 months on the same vehicles. That's a tough vehicle! The G-Class is overpriced? Well if they removed all the military parts underneath the luxury G-Class then sure the vehicle will be as cheap as a GL-Class or an ML-Class. These luxury Gs are built on the same factory production line as the military Gs with the same military parts as the military Gs underneath which makes them expensive. GWAGONS ARE ALSO HAND BUILT FROM THE GROUND UP. :)
Alexander Diego awesome
only has 8 inches of ground clearance. Jeep Rubicon has 10. Hummer H1 has 16
massive 17.7 inches on the mercedes g class 4x4 ²
Very cool. ...want ;-)
Parked in garage, mostly highway miles.
Pay for the ability but never use it......that is genius.
if it is so good why don't they have this rig in Rally Dakar? Because all i see there are toyotas if i'm not mistaken
The blue one looks georgeous
dschonsie ğ
dschonsie Z
in the civilian version , it did NOT stayed true to the essence
even earlier it was not the ultimate , but now is just for snobs
this guy was either payed to advertise or knows nothing about offroading
if you're a Merc fan and still want an offroader , get the Unimog
Women loves them because makes em look rich and it's a trend
The 2017 raptor has more power and off-road capabilities with half the price of this, but this Benz is perfect for middle aged wealthy ladies to drive around the city and shopping centers
Korkes m The raptor is a desert runner, this is a rock crawler.
Not really they, would be better off in a luxury crossover.
A 3rd gen 4Runner with a suspension upgrade, beefy offroad tires and a 1UR swap would be better than both and probably cheaper
4Runner is great value and reliable, also most of the safety tech and performance features that only brands like Mercedes offered, are now available in basic cars, but people pay for the brand name
Martin Z Ford 😂😂😂👍🏻
Hey Zach, there is a fake account on RUclips called motormouth Canada with like only 3 subscribers but they uploaded all of your videos again and copied everything from your video descriptions to the order of your videos! Just letting you know :)
is this car reliable to own?
Not in the least bit.
a shame such a capable vehicle never sees true offroad terrain... get a jeep or fj
30+ year-old car with few facelifts along the way. Still sells for 150k. Madness.
So? The dodge challenger hellcat is a car built on a 30 years old chassis (1990 Mercedes E class) and they sell it for 100k.
Just so you know, you are comparing a new car built built on an old chassis with an old car with new headlights.
Kris Mier Its not an old car with new headlights! Go to any Mercedes dealer and look at the new G class, and compare it to the old G class. Just because the shape is the same, doesn't mean the body panels are 100% exactly the same.
Eric Von ghhhjklpoio
and the fact that this 37 year old SUV still kick all of its competitions ass.... is a good statement for mercedes
I'm gonna be buying my G500 soon,that's a guarantee.
Ayyyy BC represent
Great video again! However, real Ultimate Off Roading vehicle is Toyota Land Cruiser! Nobody or nothing can beat Toyota when it comes to building real off-roading vehicles. Leave it up to Toyota if you are looking for Ultimate Off-roading machine!
Jeep needs to make one similar to that base on the current Wrangler.
Wow i Never saw an woman driving this car hahah greets from Germany
PrivatePumper soccer moms in Los Angeles
billcounterstrike I live in LA and I always see women driving g wagons.Can you explain why a lot of people refer to soccer moms?
Հովհաննես Հովհաննիսյան alright, so the stereotype is that white rich moms in LA take their kids to soccer games (soccer BC it's one of the more popular child team sports, baseball is another sport too, but the stereotype is soccer) in these G wagons to show off their wealth and status in society, competing with the other rich young moms in LA. Hope this clears things up for you.
billcounterstrike thanks dude
Հովհաննես Հովհաննիսյան no problem man
where are the new videos? been a while.
What about the toyota landcruiser and hell even the jeep wrangler
A 2017 wrangler Rubicon can do it too for 50k less
You buy a G63? top of the line model for $225K!
A Jeep would literally do all the same things, for literally a 1/8 or less price. Get a stock Cherokee, get locking diff's, and your set, for a fraction of the cost.
Vexumy
had a stock cherokee, spent more time at dealers repair shop; changed body style, which made it obsolete.
G wagon body style holds value, while engine/interior changes. where is jeep cherokee in 2018? obsolete.
Because you dont have Land Cruisers in Canada
If you have to ask how much it costs you can't afford it.
This costs more than your house!
