I mean yes, 95% of owners will just drive it in the city like it has always been the case with the G-Wagon in the past decade or so, but in terms of off-roading the electric G-Wagon is just as capable as the ICE version.

G-Wagons hold their value very well. They either go up in price on the used market or average a depreciation rate around 2% or less. Please refrain from making ignorant tik tok car knowledge comments
@@billdurham8477 I have no doubt that generic EVs like Tesla depreciate. OP’s original claim was a gross and unambiguous assessment (Didn’t specify the gas or EV g wagon) of depreciation for this segment of Mercedes when the literal numbers back up my claim. Deprecation being assessed for the EV g wagon can’t be done as the cars are not on the roads yet. It is possible it could hold value well likes its gas counterpart because it has the G wagon persona with great features. But it’s also possible it could depreciate hard due to the fact it is just an EV. It simply cannot be assessed yet. My dealer techs are fine, my MB and Audi reps take good care of me.
@@SM-1010 Yes, G-Wagons hold their value very well. G-Wagons with V-8 engines that is.

Then he finally found one who was willing to give him 75.000 Euros, which is less than 50% of the original price - for a 2-year old car that has been treated very well by a car enthusiast.

Yes, I guess then the limitations are the same for both variants: water coming through the air vents or the car simply starting to float and losing traction.
As a Benz fanboy, their inconsistency absolutely baffles me, they said they kept the electric G Wagons design as close to the design of the ICE G Wagon because the wanted to keep the cars "Iconic Silhouette " but then make different designs for the EQE, EQS, EQS SUV and EQE SUV, the S - Class and the E - Class look good, just make the electric car look the same as the ICE car and then go crazy on the interior, I am pretty sure their sales for their electric cars would be better if they looked the same as ICE cars, because in my opinion, they do not look that great
Shut up, dude! You just don't understand Mercedes-Benz, that's all. Because you know NOTHING about the philosophy of the G-Modell, which has always been a very special and unique model in the line up of Mercedes-Benz. "Benz fanboy".... LOL
And they’re slapping amg badges on cars because someone ordered seats of floor mats - or something…just cheapening the whole thing, and I have one. Sold their souls for chump change
Electric G that sounds like a golf cart?! Wow, is this how far we’ve come? 😂This will only succeed, if it’s going to sell in big numbers in the Gulf countries, aka. Petrol Central… and there are many reasons to drive a G63 4 liter V8 over there. ⛽️
Afaik, in the EU the dry weight already includes a 75kg driver, so 4 additional people at 90kg, +15kg extra for a 90kg driver, so another 75kg for luggage.
The prices are completely idiotic for this useless car, you can’t even attach a trailer to it. And if you go on vacation with luggage then you will not only get a penalty for overloaded vehicle but also drive without a driver’s license because the car is far too heavy... but you should pay as much as a top apartment. Trash!
I know this rich dude who recently told me he bought a new G-Wagon and then immediately added: "but I've been driving G-Wagons before they were cool! In a time when my daughter was embarrassed that her dad would drive such a brick!"

Yes the f**k it is!! Looks old school!
Whenever there’s an electric car, people find extra things to complain about
As a Benz fanboy, their inconsistency absolutely baffles me, they said they kept the electric G Wagons design as close to the design of the ICE G Wagon because the wanted to keep the cars "Iconic Silhouette " but then make different designs for the EQE, EQS, EQS SUV and EQE SUV, the S - Class and the E - Class look good, just make the electric car look the same as the ICE car and then go crazy on the interior, I am pretty sure their sales for their electric cars would be better if they looked the same as ICE cars, because in my opinion, they do not look that great
Shut up, dude! You just don't understand Mercedes-Benz, that's all.
Because you know NOTHING about the philosophy of the G-Modell, which has always been a very special and unique model in the line up of Mercedes-Benz.
"Benz fanboy".... LOL
They have to make them more aerodynamic at all costs.
No one is buying the eq models so think they are changing direction
The Plans for the EQ Range were Made Like 10 Years Ago now. They have learnt in that time
And they’re slapping amg badges on cars because someone ordered seats of floor mats - or something…just cheapening the whole thing, and I have one.
Sold their souls for chump change
Electric G that sounds like a golf cart?! Wow, is this how far we’ve come? 😂This will only succeed, if it’s going to sell in big numbers in the Gulf countries, aka. Petrol Central… and there are many reasons to drive a G63 4 liter V8 over there. ⛽️
even though it's going to be easier to shut the door, I'm still slamming that door to let the parking lot know it's a g wagon
Man this is the best rivew ever....l never cried laughing whilst watching your videos. The off road part was the best😂😂😂❤
450Kg payload??.....so 5 people weighing in at 90kg each??already at max payload before luggage😂😂😂Lets just stick to the ICE, my 2cents!
Afaik, in the EU the dry weight already includes a 75kg driver, so 4 additional people at 90kg, +15kg extra for a 90kg driver, so another 75kg for luggage.
Is he said white ?😂
3085 + 450 = 3535 kg , will you need a c1 licence to drive this?
The G from this G- Class means Garbage.
And you think petrol or diesel G Wagons depreciate quickly….
There is a lot of people that buy it in my country, but I agree for other countries
No, lol.
The man who introduced to Many G-Klass had mood like “eah not perfect idgaf”
The heated and cooled Cupholders are actually genius
It looks like they made a Light cheap version of the G-Wagon 😂
it looks off
G wagon: Miata edition
The prices are completely idiotic for this useless car, you can’t even attach a trailer to it. And if you go on vacation with luggage then you will not only get a penalty for overloaded vehicle but also drive without a driver’s license because the car is far too heavy... but you should pay as much as a top apartment. Trash!
It was ruined a long time ago when Mercedes took it from being a workhorse to a posh luxury SUV.
I know this rich dude who recently told me he bought a new G-Wagon and then immediately added: "but I've been driving G-Wagons before they were cool! In a time when my daughter was embarrassed that her dad would drive such a brick!"
Excellent review. I really love your videos. You do know what you’re talking about. It’s also very entertaining. And I love when you’re laughing and enjoying the drive. We men are boys forever, right? 😉 At least some of us 😅 Jaroslav 🙂🇨🇿
