- In this video, you join me on a recent trip where I drove a Mercedes-Benz G400d from Jhb to Cape Town, the long way! Visiting some of South Africa's most beautiful places, seeing the Namaqualand flowers and Augrabies Falls. Yes, the G-Wagon went off-road too, when last did you see that???

Keep up the great work and surely will be checking out all your stuff past, present and future.

Cool video 🤙🏾
Oh, don't worry Greg, this whole thing has inspired me to do a road trip, the beach, the hot springs, man oh man, I love it 🔥😅
Sunday evenings with Greg obviously ❤😅 never disappointed...thanks for the content...love it❤❤
Forget Carre Blanche on a Sunday evening. I watched this! 🎉 Thanks Greg for taking us on this adventure in the wagon.

Amazing! Thanks for the feedback
What an amazing journey you took.i drove that road last month in my corolla cross to Keimos,kakamus,Pofadder and Aggeneys.i must confess that there are some nice sceneries on that road...nice review.
Lekker road trip and you have showed me a different route to go down to Cape town.I personally like the fact that it's not touch screen,they are very figgity & for such a tough vehicle o think it suits it,plus getting the screens dirty with your fingers.Fuel economy it's a heavy car so it makes sense.thanks for taking us with you enjoyed it
As always, another day, another Greg Dennis Review 🔥what a time to be alive hey? 😎
Greg I have said it many times and I will say it again and again.. Your reviews in my opinion are the very best in South Africa.. Informative to the point and just so easy to watch. May GDR go from strength to strength as you truly deserve it
Warm regards Mike
G400d is so underrated man I'm only noticing it now😢
Right? It’s always about the G63 😂
loving the roadtrip vlog ♥️♥️
This is beautiful👌
Great review altogether 🙏🏽
Thank you for the beautiful review! Beautiful G-Wagon, beautiful color, and beautiful nature. I really enjoyed every minute of it. Thanks again ❤
Nice one, quite enjoyable video...keep it up...
Loved B's cameos 😊 also driving the car like a boss! You guys are awesome!!🎉🎉
Wow great content again nice road trip🎉🎉🎉
Just came across this video & I'm glad I clicked on it because you just took my road trip route I'm planning to do after getting my motorbike next year. Thank you Greg, atleast now I know what the route looks like. 👍
Thoroughly enjoyed this road trip, thank for showing us that other side of our lovely country.
Above everything though, I love your G wagon Colour! That green 🤌🏽🤌🏽🤌🏽
Great route!
Thank you!
Nice content, I was at Grabbies falls in summer, the water was raging and sound was too loud ,,visit again in summer that water level is too low
This spec is so fn beautiful 🔥🔥🔥 the color 💚🖤
More of this please 🔥❤️🇿🇦
The exterior color?🤩absolutely stunning
Great review and enjoyed the style and different approach. Definitely a better use of this car versus the normal city driving most of them do ;-)
So much beauty , car and nature wise
Landscape is amazing beautiful South Africa🎉🎉🎉
Great video. I think what could top it off would be to include prices for new offlanders or non South Africans planning to make the trip🙏
clearing the path for the "GREGON" 👌🏾🔥
@GregDennisReviews Schöckl is in the state of Styria in Austria - near the city of Graz, where the G-Class is actually manufactured. Fun fact - Dr. Ferdinand Porsche was also born in Austria. Mercedes-Benz and Porsche are both based in Stuttgart, Germany.
The G400d is my pick over the G63 AMG👍🏽
It’s a mountain. I took my G to the top in July.
@@leonchris7602 Sure. And where is that mountain?
@@dazzledonkey hehe, just outside of Graz. One more fun fact, Mercedes don’t manufacture the Gelandewagen.
@@leonchris7602 Indeed. And no, they don't. It's made by Magna-Steyr under contract from Mercedes-Benz.
Magna-Steyr also helped INEOS to develop the Grenadier 4x4.
@@dazzledonkey Yes, many BMWs made by Magna. MB “heavy metal” still done by Magna. (Maybach, some S class, Gwagen etc) have a Google on S-Tec, a Magna company. Amazing mods being done on old ex mil 461 Gwagons.
Nice color Greg
YOU were in my hometown, YRYBURG😮
Oom Greg you past my little dorpie Vryburg 🙏🏽👊🏼
Having already driven the Tank 300, which one would you say is better between the two? 😊
Obvs. The G Wagon. No question. More power, more comfortable, more luxury, better build quality, a lot
I love a G-wagon anyway. 1 question, is there any body roll on those meandering roads?
Awesome views. Namaqualand in spring 🏵️🌸🌺🪻🌻. Got me interested in NC, as a province to visit. Good shots of the car. Exterior + interior. Awesome places of accomodation, interests and sights.
G-Wagon in its natural environment!
nice trip in a nice car, have you done the GLC 43 before ? if you did please give me the link thank you
I have done more off roading with a corsa lite 😂
That’s cheating, The corsa lite can go anywhere 😂
Nice car. Cool review. Small point, there is a difference between electric and electronic 🤔😁
Thank you! 🙏🏼 what’s the difference? The spelling? 😂
Great video. what's the fuel range on a full talk?
Thank you! You could probably get about 1000km. It's got a 100L fuel tank. But i don't think you'll be able to get more.
👴🏽A wise man once said "A G Wagon is never meant to be washed. Once dirty, always dirty"
Passed by Vryburg. You could have popped in Mafikeng and greet. My stupid mind tell me that I can afford to maintain this SUV, but I know I can't afford to pay for one service. I like the cool factor of this ride.
I have on record a service invoice for one of these, which came out to 43% of the similar service done on a 1.5 litre VW Polo TDi.
Can you please make a review of a maserati levante q4 3.0 v6 🤌🤌
Bro I love the brand but I feel the G400D is still mighty expensive hey and fuel consumption isn’t great hey😮but I guess it’s definitely the one if you not really after the performance of G63. Me the GLE 400D seems to be more efficient 😮
SA is beautiful you need the right car to really experience the country
💪🏽🔥
Coool!!!!!!!
Intending to buy one this week. I'd hope for 10km/l @100km/h, or better. Pity Anglophones reduced its name to G-wagon, just because they couldn't pronounce the very easy Geländewagen. Guh len duh vah ghin. This is a 4x4 and no SUV, and cannot be compared to anything else. Anyone needing a SUV, rather buy a TLC300, Nissan Patrol or something like that. No reviewers EVER mention that the 3 diff-locks can be engaged while on the move. That's quite nifty.
That’s so cool! Enjoy every minute driving it!
@@GregDennisReviewsThanks, cannot wait to use it for my NC photo shoots, out there with cobra and scorpions about. We play rough.
How and why did the wagon double in value in the last 2 years? I mean, it's available in abundance
Would like to see the bmw x3 review ike this
Too nice Greggy 🔥 🔥 🔥
sub up guys.
Thank you!
Get yourself the new Prado and save yourself a ton of money.
Great road trip! Would have been cheaper and more comfortable in a Raptor and 2 million in your pocket! G-Wagon is super over rated and extremely over priced.
This Gwagon is so Overrated
G63 not 400d
Not most G Wagons. To put it in simple sense, the ones with smaller engines such as the 400d (inline 6), are underrated, but for those that are with V8 engines (G63) are way more overrated than any other G Wagon that has ever existed😑.
So in conclusion, if you meant the G63 is overrated, I can accept that they are🚶🏽♂️
It's not especially G63 the best
The G63 not the G400d😏
Drive it and you'll swallow your words
3.7 million, fek I'm poor
Join the club 😂

Oof that fuel consumption is really bad but it's simply because of the shape of the car that's not aerodynamic. My 2014 E350 Bluetec with the old V6 diesel (185kw and 640nm) averages 5.2 litres per 100km from Joburg to Cape Town. It's crazy how much less fuel a sedan uses. I don't like SUVs at all. Their fuel consumption is unnecessarily high just because it's tall. Silliness.
Say that to me when you try to do Garaghab, Dabenoris, Kamgab, etc. That's why we buy Geländewagen.
@@afriquelesud Most people who buy these don't even go off road. They use it as a status symbol. So it's wasted. But if you're going off road then it's the best car for it fuel consumption be damned..
Very Very weak video, does nothing for me personally. The young guy as presenter is very much engratiating himself, speaks a lot about the car can do this, can do that, but no visuals to demonstrate such claims. "Putting the car into Desert Mode" for sand corrugations, my word what a foolish statement and a foolish thing to do. There is very very little spoken about the technicalities of this vehicle, and as an example why Mercedes went from a solid bean front axle to a independent front axle suspension system and what are the advantages and disadvantages. What about the diesel engine, pretty much about said nothing at all. No this youngster is definitely not a credible motoring presenter at all. It appears he has little knowledge about the car, its uses, and then what is the price at over R3 million of this "ENTRY LEVEL" Mercedes "G WAGON", I suppose thats 'OKAY", and what are the comparisons and capabilities to other 4x4 vehicles in this price range: Land Rover, Land Cruiser, Nissan, Hilux etc etc. He does no service to the brand Gelandenwagen, which over many many years has become a ledgendary and very capable 4x4 and off road vehicle. Such a pity and an opportunirty lost. My view as a season explorer (Africa on 4 Wheels)
Now, this is what I'm signing up for, a car review typa vlog🤎😎🔥
