Mercedes-Benz big G out of the 6-cylinder model, can the price come down? The pure electric "small g" will be released at the end of the year

The favorite of countless fans, the off-road vehicle Mercedes-Benz Big G, which is the favorite of countless car fans, has recently undergone a mid-term facelift. Different from the previous appearance, which was to change the appearance and increase the power, the big G has been remodeled this time - the G 500 model equipped with an inline 6-cylinder engine has been launched! This means that the AMG G 63, which is still equipped with a V8 engine, has suddenly risen in the family. And students who have a cash G 500 in their hands can rest assured that they will drive it for a few more years, because the rate of its depreciation has also been greatly reduced.

1. The Mercedes-Benz G 500/AMG G 63 facelift was announced

In fact, there is nothing to talk about in the appearance of the new car, and the square box shape that has been the same for decades is classic and durable. So Mercedes-Benz has added some comfort configurations to the new model, such as a touch-enabled central control screen, cup holders that support temperature control, and wireless charging of mobile phones and two 11.6-inch entertainment screens in the rear. Other features include adaptive cruise control, 360-degree camera, active emergency braking, blind spot monitoring, and traffic sign recognition.

The biggest thing about the mid-life facelift is, of course, its power, with the G 500 ditching the V8 in favour of a new 3.0-litre inline-six turbocharged engine and a 48-volt mild-hybrid system. The system produces a maximum output of 449 hp and a peak torque of 560 Nm. The motor provides an additional 20 hp and 200 Nm of torque, which is 28 hp more than the current model, but 50 Nm less torque, after all, the V8 is still a little deeper. The transmission is matched with a 9-speed automatic manual transmission, three mechanical differential locks and a transfer case responsible for low-speed off-roading.

The 6-cylinder machine big G has not been used, and the current G 400d model is, but it is a diesel engine, which many people are more concerned about. Although the G 500 ditched the V8, the AMG G 63 still had a V8 engine. The new 4.0-litre V8 twin-turbo engine is just as powerful as the current model, making 585 hp and 850 Nm of torque, and is also powered by a 48-volt mild hybrid system that delivers an additional 20 hp and 200 Nm of torque. Therefore, the performance of the new G 63 has also been improved to a certain extent, and it can break 100 in 4.3 seconds.

For a car that needs to increase the price by dozens of W and is still in short supply, why does Mercedes-Benz want to engage in this kind of "self-abolition martial arts" operation for the G 500? After all, L6 and V6 seem to be only two cylinders apart, but in the eyes of people who can consume big G, it is a world of difference! In fact, the reason is not complicated, first of all, Mercedes-Benz wants to make a difference, everyone is a V8 engine, so G 500 to G 63 easily. In this way, not only did they earn a lot less yuan, but the owners who really bought the G 63 would also feel uncomfortable in their hearts, so Mercedes-Benz offered the L6, which is higher than the four-cylinder G and lower than the V8 flagship.

And this also maintains the prestige status of the G 63 owner, although you can look the same as me, but you don't have the core point of my "pride", after all, the engine can't be changed. This is a trick to force you to spend more money on the G 63. The second reason is that after looking up to the U8 and these cars rolled up to the million-level off-road SUV, Mercedes-Benz has faintly felt that its territory has been violated. In fact, I don't know if there is money for those who drive a big G, but if they really buy a U8, they must have money! If it sells one more, Mercedes-Benz may have one less consumer.

2. 奔驰“小g”年底亮相

The name of Mercedes-Benz "Little G" is not something I said nonsense, this is Mercedes-Benz's own official announcement! The accurate name should be Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which still belongs to the Mercedes-Benz G-class model camp. It's just that the identity is lower than the four-cylinder big G, and it belongs to the pure electric platform, and the new little brother of the family is not surprisingly it! The shape of the new car has been announced by Mercedes-Benz earlier, and it is still the familiar square box shape, but the overall size is one size smaller than the fuel big G, and the positioning may be a four-door and five-seat medium-sized SUV.

Although the overall shape is very large, there is still an electric style in the details, and you can understand one or two by looking at some renderings of foreign media. The power part, it is based on Mercedes-Benz's new MMA architecture, and the 800V platform is of course a must. Officials have not yet announced the battery capacity and specifications of the new car, but it is reported that the standard all-wheel drive model has a range of 483 kilometers under the WLTC mode. Although the positioning is not as high as the big brothers, the price may not be cheap, and the domestic price may be close to one million on the Internet! Judging from the current configuration, its premium is a bit ruthless. However, the new car will be released at the end of the year, and we will see if it can match this price, or if it will not be sold so expensive at all?

Write at the end

This time, the product line of Big G will be sorted out well, so that it can better cope with the competition. Because in addition to the true love fans of the big G, there are also a considerable number of people who want just an identity tag or want to eat the flow of the car, this look up to the U8 can also be more affordable, right?And then after it is replaced with the L6 engine, it is not surprising that the price is to be reduced, which is expected to be between the 1.4248 million of the G 350 and the 1.899 million of the current G 500. How much do you think it sells appropriately with Mercedes-Benz "Little G"? Welcome to leave a message in the comment area to discuss!
