The new Mercedes-Benz Big G will be released! The V8 engine will be cancelled and a 48V mild hybrid will be added, and the acceleration will be faster

Speaking of Mercedes-Benz big G, it is undoubtedly the ancestor of off-road magic cars and square box SUVs in the minds of many men. With a million-level price and strong passability and off-road performance, whenever the Mercedes-Benz big G wants to launch a new model, it will attract a lot of people to watch, I think this is the charm of the German military off-road vehicle.

No, at the Beijing Auto Show, which will open on April 25, Mercedes-Benz is about to release the new Mercedes-Benz G 500 (2025 model). As a new mid-life facelift, the biggest change is that the current 4.0T V8 engine has been cancelled in favor of a new 3.0 L6 engine paired with a 48V mild hybrid system. In this way, it also means that the 4.0T V8 engine of the Mercedes-Benz big G will officially withdraw from the historical stage.

However, it is worth mentioning that although the new Mercedes-Benz big G does not have a large displacement 4.0T V8 engine, but its 3.0T L6 engine + 48V mild hybrid system is added, but the new car is half a second faster than the current big G (5.9 seconds), and it only takes 5.4 seconds to break 100km/h 0-100km/h, can you stand it?

In terms of data, the new Big G's 3.0T L6 engine can reach a maximum power of 449 hp and a peak torque of 560 Nm, while the motor can provide an additional 20 hp. For comparison, the V8 engine of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz G500 currently on sale has a maximum power of only 421 hp and a maximum torque of 610 Nm. Obviously, the new big G has been improved in power, but at the same time, we must know that this is still equipped with a 3.0T power, which makes people have to admire Mercedes-Benz's attainments in the field of internal combustion engines.

Therefore, aside from the V-shaped 8-cylinder power with large displacement, it seems that there is no problem with the combination of 3.0T+48V mild hybrid system. After all, the acceleration of the new car is faster, and thanks to the addition of electrification, the fuel consumption of the car will be correspondingly lower (after all, the structure is reduced by 2 cylinders), so is it difficult to be more perfect?

Finally, after looking at the big changes in the powertrain, the adjustment of the new Mercedes-Benz Big G in other aspects is insignificant. For example, its exterior has only been modified with a few minor details to better optimize the drag coefficient and NVH of the interior.

Of course, the most obvious change in the exterior of the vehicle is also the interior of the grille, which has been adjusted from three chrome trim strips with cutouts to four chrome trim strips in the current model, making the visual effect flatter. The changes in the envelope are also very noticeable, and the silver decorative covers on both sides are very distinctive.

The sides are still in the classic square box shape, but keyless entry has been added to the door handle, which will also make unlocking easier.

The rear of the car also has a classic shape, and the two silver trim covers on the left and right of the bottom surround echo the front of the car, which can be regarded as a small surprise in details.

The biggest change in the interior is the use of Mercedes-Benz's newly designed dragonfly steering wheel, which I personally think is more fashionable and avant-garde than the current model, and it also enhances the sense of technology and luxury atmosphere in the interior. In addition, the layout of the physical buttons has also been optimized, and the overall integration is higher, which can be more convenient to operate while driving.

Written at the end: in short, the new Mercedes-Benz G-class G 500 model is undoubtedly the biggest change in power, it will replace the current 4.0T V8 power with a 3.0T L6 + 48V mild hybrid system, which will more or less make many V8 power parties difficult to accept. After all, in the minds of people who believe in large-displacement V8 power, the big G has to be 4.0T V8 square enough, but now that the 2 cylinders are reduced, the kind of "dissatisfaction" in the heart will naturally come to mind.

But then again, the current 3.0T L6 engine + 48V mild hybrid system is not only more powerful, lower fuel consumption, and faster acceleration, so if the price can be cheaper than the current model in the future, then why not buy it? I think Mercedes-Benz still understands domestic consumers, so let's wait and see its official debut at the Beijing Auto Show. (Text/Youshi Auto Dazhuo)
