The mid-term facelift Mercedes-Benz G-class has just been unveiled at the Beijing Auto Show, the new car has canceled the V8 engine worldwide, only a 3.0T inline 6-cylinder power, of course, different markets have high and low power, but in fact, there is not much difference, as you can see, even Mercedes-Benz G-class such a traditional and forced style as the core element of the model has bid farewell to the 8-cylinder, the overall trend is obviously impossible to reverse.
In terms of appearance, the new car has only undergone minor modifications, the front face part maintains the iconic square nose, round headlight group, but the big mouth has been fine-tuned, using green concave blackened material, the four-horizontal banner design appears more three-dimensional, the front bumper part is adjusted to the left and right sides of the fog lamp area, increase the size of the air intake, modify the style of the grille, and appear more avant-garde.
On the side of the body, the new car of course maintains the iconic square box shape, and claims to have adjusted the details of the A-pillar, but it is not visually obvious, and the official said that it will help reduce the drag coefficient and improve the NVH effect. Of course, the former doesn't seem to be something that the Mercedes-Benz G-Class needs to consider, and the large-sized wheels certainly have the latest styling, which effectively enhances the sense of style. At the rear, the standard backpack-style spare tire still has a delicate mask protection, the right-door design, the flat taillight cluster has not changed significantly, and the blackened sports package has been added to enhance the overall sense of fashion, which corresponds to the style of the front of the car.
Of course, there will be no obvious changes in the interior of the new car, with elements such as the double-linked floating large-size LCD screen, the vertical center console, and the handle decoration that can be seen everywhere on the passenger side and doors. The first routine modification is the new steering wheel, and the second is the adjustment of the Mbux system, simplifying some of the physical buttons and changing them to a paddle-type design, but still retaining the soul-style air conditioning outlet, and the central button still maintains the attitude of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.
In terms of power, as mentioned earlier, the car's biggest focus of the new car is equipped with a maximum power of 449 horsepower 3.0T inline 6-cylinder engine, with a 48-volt electric motor composed of a mild hybrid assembly, 9AT gearbox of course will not be absent, non-bearing body has a girder structure, professional four-wheel drive system, multiple differential locks, etc. are also standard. The actual power is actually a certain improvement over the old 8-cylinder model. Of course, the sound of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class's iconic V8 engine boiling water no longer exists, and it is worth looking forward to what kind of performance it can have in the future.
