That was one of the best reviews of the G wagon 400 that I have watched . It has been my dream car since it came out and your enthusiasm from a man's point of view has made it even more so
You nailed it. It’s an adorable yet refined icon. Just ordered the same car today (G400d, G manufaktur olive green metallic). Thanks for the great video!
Amazing video, amazing car. Coming soon hall life reestyling, inline six 450d mild hybrid 367 horsepower + 20 hp electric motor. I'm waiting for it. Greetings from Spain.
According to my dealer it was axed. They will beta on the eletric only version and keep the 63amg. So if you want a G diesel order fast because they will stop producing it soon.
Nobody seems to know: those three differential locks can ENGAGE WHILE IN MOTION. Now, that's quite something! We use them in the Kgalagadi and Richtersveld deserts, in the arid rocky Karoo, they do well off the beaten track.
Im in the UK, this is way out my league, I can run to a Lexus but thats it. If I won the lottery I would test drive one of these. It really is a car for everything, fantastic six cylinder engine, quiet, comfortable, capable of anything. Well worth the money for a hand built car and it would last me forever. I would also go and buy a nice house somewhere rural to justify owning one.
Two notes: 1st back in '79 it was meant to be an army vehicle of the Iran army, not the German one. It was the the Shah of Iran that order it. 2nd there was no 3.5 litre diesel in the previous model. 350d was 3.0 V3. There was 3.4 (3449 cc) in the early 90's but that is not what you have talking about :) Other then that - fully agree - probably much better daily then G63, which is more like a toy for super rich.
@@thetalldetailerG400d. The only thing you're sacrificing is a V8 but a V8 on such a big and expensive car is a waste. A diesel engine suits this car more.
@@thetalldetailerAs crazy & insane as it sounds, I would settle for the 400d😅I think it's underated. As for the G wagon, it's just too much😅in your face literally.
The infotainment system is not a touchscreen system because of safety and usability when you go around in the terrain and in traffic because you can't "see" with you fingers on a touch screen compared to buttons.
Lately I love the G400d or G500, they are better off-roaders than the G63, so it's a G400d for me, plus g400 is rare unlike the 63, so you will be unique when u drive the G400 or 500
Diesel for me, more practical to live with on a daily basis. I value my license, the G63 is pointless bling in my opinion. A car that wants to pull that much would not be relaxing when trying to stick within speed limits. They make it because they can. Six cylinder diesels always sound great and there will be far less physical strain on the mechanical bits in the long term with this diesel.
Yeah so the badges on the back of cars don't really apply to the engines litre anymore. It says 400d but it's actually a 2.9 diesel. The 400d is just an indication as to its place in the line-up. This is the Stronger Than Time Edition which make sit somewhat special as it features some optional items as standard.
@@justincars5755 Its as daft as the new BMW 330e. Its a 2 litre four cylinder engine, and ive driven a few and im not impressed. Im not really a fan of BMW, its the image and average reliability but if I could chose one, if I was forced to have one by some generous fool I would get one with X Drive, not sure which though.
With forthcoming legislation favouring green motor vehicles, and negative bias on the use of diesel fuels going forward, is the 400d already approaching prohibition? I am Pro-G Class! Not happy with the electric prototype currently promoted. (Comment posted 30/Jan/2022)
1969, not 1979. The civilian version only came in 1979, yes. But the Shah of Iran willed a 'baby Unimog' (pron ooh nee mogg) in 1969, and the military version W460 came in 1973. Not G-wagon; that's what the inept call it. Geländewagen (ghuh len duh vah ghin) means 'terrain vehicle.' Please always get the actual facts.
To judge this car it needs much more than just a day or two. I drove these cars for a decade and they have a number of unpractical issues. The space on the back seat is far to small for people above 16 years old, unless they have no legs. Also the back door with the spare wheel mounted is far to heavy to open and close. Also the wind noise while driving faster is really disturbing. To cruise around in Jozi this car attracts the wrong people. I would not drive around town in a G wagon. Greetings from 🇩🇪. 😊😊

Nice review ,The lovely Mercedes g-wagon is my favourite mercedes off all time and it's one of the best mercedes ever built and I want to get one 😊😊😊
Honestly, best car available today.
The best built SUV ever!

This color is to die for😋
Brilliant video, editing and speech! Thanks for sharing this engineering masterpiece and please continue delivering us your high quality video's 👌
Literally my dream car, as is. Without you in it of course 😅. Lekker video Bro 🤘
Love the Colour 🔥💚💚💚🔥
super review..salute..soon by the Grace of GOD.

They call that Diesel engine the 400 d so if it’s in a Gle coupe it’s says 400 d on the back ! And yes it’s a fair amount cheaper then a g63
But it's over a million I think not so sure. If you choose between the G400d and the G63 which one would you take?

G class👍👍👍👍
what colour is this car ? also excellent video.

Much better than a G63
The G63 has too much power for normal daily driving. Harder ride as well. Its also rather naff, favoured by rap artists etc, its too bling.
Most G wagon owners don't drive it off road because of the price
would the G400 be on the US? I want to buy one... I love offraoding on my old G500
I want and need this diesel power engine G Class in Southern California. Not the over dress G63.
g400d, a gt3 touring and a prius and im fine.
Money no object, would you get the 63 or the diesel?
Call me mad but I'll take the diesel - it is just much better daily vehicle

Sound system is OK, not the best. Subwoofer is not overhead, it’s in the rear luggage compartment.
Price
No touch screen??
Quick question why is it called the G400 is it some sort of anniversary or what ?
And is going to be cheaper than thee G63?

What is the name of the colour? Its great
The colour is: Olive green
1969, not 1979. The civilian version only came in 1979, yes. But the Shah of Iran willed a 'baby Unimog' (pron ooh nee mogg) in 1969, and the military version W460 came in 1973.
