    Respect ✊🏻. I have a Question as a owner of 4G wagons don’t understand why would they as a company makes such a stupid decisions putting camera on a front bumper and same thing on the back bumper without protection I drive a wagon right now the camera in the front gets 30 all the time and it’s on top where Mercedes logo is imagine when it’s on the bumper by the way when you live in the city people don’t know how to park they will destroy it. Mercedes. Don’t care about customers they don’t care about the customers that spent $200,000 for their vehicle, they should be ashamed of themselves for the money they charge they don’t think about the customers and what customers have to go through with these vehicles only groupies love these vehicles not the people to drive them every day they would make it more protection no, they put it the place can get damaged

    I test drove the 2025 G 550 and felt the inline turbo 6 had more than enough power. Its also much less noise (wind and engine) and better fuel mileage. At my age I'm not tromping on the gas pedal anymore, so this new version makes alot of sense for me, maybe not for others, but for me. I think they will do well.

    My local dealership is selling the 2024 V8 more expensive than the 2025 v6 😅 , that should’ve say a lot .

      I looked all over the internet to find a '24 G550 and only could find one and it was 190K. So I ordered aBenz certified '23 with 3 thousand miles on it. Who wants a V6 hybrid G Wagon?

    Thanks for the review. As one of the first test drives in the US, would have like to have you stretch it's legs on the highway to give a more insightful review...Sure the V8 is preferable, but moving forward is not an option in the G550.

    *For the G Wagon, there must be a V10. If it ends up costing over $250,000, then so be it.*

    I buy G-Class from the late 90s, I had all the engines. Currently I own a 2022 G63 and a 2023 V8 G500 (550). I know the in line 6 well (M256) because we had a 53 AMG GLE for three years. It is a good engine but, very simply, it should not be fitted on the G-Class, it has nothing to do with the G-Class. The G-Class must not be embellished and must remain as much as possible in accordance with the original. The 2018 restyling was very appropriate and delicate, that of 2024 excessive, especially for the introduction of the 48 volt mild hybrid system.

    I could be wrong but I feel like the new engine could also boost sales because more women will like the smoother, quieter ride.

    I have a 2023 G550 and really wanted to trade for the 2025 for the new infotainment system but the new V6 don’t make me excited for it at all…
    Plus they had a price increase of $12-15k, so overall I’ll pass.

      They did the same thing to the Lexus GX460. I have a '22 460 with the V8 and the new 2024 has a twin turbo V6. The 2024 also lost the wood grain steering wheel and interior for a slightly improved infotainment. No way Im trading mine and I think the '22s exterior looks better than the 24. Dang I want a 2023 AMG G 63 but theyre still 200K

      Get a 2020-2022 GLC63/63s. Same tech that is just now getting released in the ‘25 G-Wagen and much faster. I love it
      (I set the lane keeping and steering assist functions to sensitive… it pretty much drives itself which seem really unfair in a V8)

    Oh the disappointment I hear when you were test driving the 2025. It’s music to my ears because I just got the final edition 2 days ago, and really contemplated between the two. You just confirmed I made the right decision. Hehe.
    I am hearing the same v8 engine roar that I’m used to and echo in my garage, and grinning with a nod. 😎

    Very shallow naive and dilettantish reviews. The rumble gets annoying on long road trips. It’s for duchebags only. The straight 6 preferably diesel is the best and it convinces on longer road trips and wins everywhere due to less weight etc

    As long as the inline 6 allows the vehicle to perform the same on and off road, I welcome it. My most important option on any Benz is a Burmester - can't have one without it.
