What's with those front fender flares that wrap all the way forward to the bottom of the front bumper. Those would be damaged the first time out off roading with our group. As well as the exhaust turn outs in front of the rear wheels.
Das ist ja ein netter Mercedes G tolles Video, nur braucht man für diese Feldwege weder einen G500 noch Portalachsen... das kann jeder Offroader/Suv von der Stange, mein 240GD schafft das alles mit heckantrieb... Wirklich geiles Video sonst, aber das nächste mal vielleicht echtes Gelände wo die Portalachsen ihren Vorteil ausspielen können.
It might cost less than a House in California and a new 2020 Ferrari together...

While I have no doubt that this thing is terribly capable, I have to say that the video shows nothing that my perfectly ordinary 2002 Toyota Land Cruiser HZJ79 pickup with its perfectly ordinary 6-cylinder normally-aspirated engine couldn't do far cheaper with far heavier loads for far, far longer.

its just another german car for show off. this car will not be like toyota nor defender. 250.000€ for....? electronic gheeks? toooooo much for real life in offroad conditions. sorry but an old toyota will perform the same. ok not on that speed. but you dont want to drive like this in everyday life. this car was maded for dubai. here is just useless.

+Otrada 89 *this video* shows nothing my 14-year-old, turbo-less, 136 horsepower, 367,000km veteran with dual diesel tanks and 1400km range can't do quite casually. I have no doubt that geared hubs (which are available for my 'yota btw) add phenomenal capabilities to the G-wagen. But this video doesn't show those capabilities. Oooh look at the G-wagen drive up and down a 20˚incline. Oooh look at the G-wagen drive along a bumpy track. Oooh look at the G-wagen drive over a small rock. Meh. The approach and departure angles are nice, but again: nothing my old truck can't also do. And at 1:48: the G-wagen's articulation is decidedly restrained. Wake me up when they show what this thing can *really* do.

As far as 4wheeling goes it would kill the Raptor with its locked solid portal axles and factory beadlocks giving it the ability to air down to almost nothing without losing a bead.
Erstens seid Ihr mit Euren Edelbenz nur durf Pillepalle gefahren. Das ist ja wohl ein Witz was Ihr da gemacht habt bei der Bodenfreiheit! Aber ich versteh Euch, wer will schon seinen Edelbenz in ein hartes Gelände schicken, könnte ja ein Kratzer an das schönen Karbonimitat kommen. Und wer zum Teufel kann sich so ne Karre leisten bzw wer findet bei dennen den Allrad?
Squeaking can be associated with the use of Heim joint suspension which is way stronger and way higher quality than any standard poly bushing suspension systems... Have you ever heard a real race cars suspension sometimes they're noisy as hell but the highest quality in the world. Or Trophy trucks that hit jumps at 130mph+ their suspension is noisy and squeaky heim joints that do 1000 mile desert races at full speed.
An over priced relic of the past - when will Mercedes pull the plug on it and give us something modern. At least the Landrover defender was reasonably priced even if it too was well past its sell by date.
I love the looks of this car but I don't see how it can go offroading... To me it looks like I could tip it over on the road by just leaning on it.... then again I would never take a car like this offroading.
tacomanfan344 Yes, watching the suspension was like watching an elephant on a balance beam. There are cars built and capable for offroading. This looked like it was tipping over the entire time but I forgive it because it is technically a luxury vehicle and not a safari 4 wheeler.
Alex Vennos Well, Alex, If I say "It looks like you don´t know, what you are talking about!", does it make that true? No...because "looks like" doesn´t make it a fact. Have you ever driven a car with portale-axles? Even, if they are just bolt on-solutions? These cars tipp over at an angle, where people usually need a change of underwear...furthermore: A G-Wagon maybe a luxury toy in the US, but its original purpose was to be a realiable offroad-workhorse. Despite the power-everything and luxury-extras, it still is doing all that it was intended to do once...
I'd take this Benz over a Raptor any day, the Raptor is just a overpriced F-150 and for the cost of the Raptor you could do up a Ranger that would rape a Raptor in the desert.
Raptor base price: 46,000 USD G500 4x4^2 base price: 295,000 USD not that i'd own either, but calling the Raptor overpriced in the face of that is like complaining about the price of tape going up 3 cents while the price of fuel went up a full dollar.
Cobalt Lukather The raptor is a overpriced glorified f-150. Anyone with a tiny bit of know how would take that $46,000 for the base model and BUILD a real prerunner. And yes I know the Benz is WAY overpriced also but if we were to compare the 2 on which we would rather have for offroad ability I'd take the benz all day long, for all around offroad ability fully locked on portal axles is way better than the Raptors IFS front standard solid rear axle on leaf spring set up.
i won't argue with it being glorified as its performance only somewhat impresses me, as a Jeep Grand Cherokee is nearly a ton lighter and has a more powerful engine available to it. on off road ability, i'd agree to disagree as though the Raptor's suspension is not as advanced, it still gets the job done and is extremely durable, and i'd trust the Raptor to keep off-roading longer than the Benz because of its mechanical simplicity. just my personal opinion. although if i were to get a serious off-roader, i'd forget all this and swap a Cummins into a Jeep CJ5 with my own choice of aftermarket suspension and tires for probably 10K less than the price of a Raptor.
Cobalt Lukather I agree with you on your opinion on you idea on the CJ5, I'm actually building up a couple Tacoma's right now and one of them I've been thinking of doing a cummins swap to it along with a solid axle swap using Mercedes Unimog 404 portal axles, my other Tacoma I already did a solid axle swap to it using 1 ton DANA 60 axles but now I wish I just went with 404 portals from the start of the build LOL!!!
Ein geiler Wagen und zudem ein super Video. Vielen Dank!
+TheAnvil1971 merci!
Perfektes Fluchtauto...

Awesome truck!
Agree.....but people hate me because I drive a hummer.... they would really hate me in this thing lol
You have to love this car. In this video was the one called 4x4^² which I thought was a concept (bright green) or is it a production version?
What's with those front fender flares that wrap all the way forward to the bottom of the front bumper. Those would be damaged the first time out off roading with our group. As well as the exhaust turn outs in front of the rear wheels.
I like this car very much
Epic sound
It has a nice suspension but the lines or grill or something needs improvement .
Das ist ja ein netter Mercedes G

So cute. I'd love one. Don't think I would use it off-road though, I'd be afraid to scuff the paint :-(
How does this compare to a jeep wrangler?
pour les véhicule tout terrains les allemand chez Mercedes son les meilleurs au monde
sonho de consumo
will this be cheaper than G550?
It's the an identical car but they call it 550 at the states only
It might cost less than a House in California and a new 2020 Ferrari together...

Stimmt!
Habe mein G Cabrio gerade verkauft... Jetzt warte ich auf diesenneuen G!
Den muss man einfach haben

Awesome truck but if i took this thing off road that bumper and exhaust pipe tips would last 5 minutes
Una joya
I would like to see how this would do against the Ford F150 Raptor.
As far as 4wheeling goes it would kill the Raptor with its locked solid portal axles and factory beadlocks giving it the ability to air down to almost nothing without losing a bead.
The Exhaust tips are just dumb... Nice otherwise, love the portalled axles.
similar to the Lada Niva 4x4 =))))
It is not offroad)) It is the kids sandbox)) dagestan style priora can take it))
This machine looks like it will just tip over any moment......Thanks Mercedes, but am satisfied with the normal G-wagon
What G wagons are meant to do!
It is not an off road for such expensive toy)) value for money....

I am hearing a lot of squeaking, that is not the sound of quality...
It's the sound of the suspension system pushing to the max its normal
Mubarak al naemi thanks for the answer/info!
Mubarak al naemi not to the max but definitaly pushing lol

Landrover and range rovers have become cars with high ground clearance

Did you even... watch the video??

There are cars built and capable for offroading. This looked like it was tipping over the entire time but I forgive it because it is technically a luxury vehicle and not a safari 4 wheeler.
