LOL at all the people talking about how outdated the G wagon style is. They just dont get it. Its timeless and functional. The style is the point of it.
You're right!. But that is also a sad commentary on what the G- Class is today. It is really a product marketed on prestige and image not like the original model in the late '70s which was a very basic utility vehicle for serious off-roading. I will wait to see what the new Land-Rover Defender is like - I hope it isn't turned into a superficial luxury toy like what Mercedes has done to the beloved Geländewagen.
Its not a classic design. The Dodge Challenger has a classic design. The G Wagen is still using the same body from 40yrs ago with modern stuff slapped on.
In comparison to British reviewers who always focus on speed and handling, you give us detailed experience of the vehicle. This is why I love your channel. Keep up the good work.
Great Review Thomas & Katharina, many thanks. Like the camera views looking forward through the windscreen. Central camera position: good, when you're able! 50:16 very good images of mirrors, and the demo of BLIS - well done. Diff-lock button press 'delay' was interesting! For an off-roader, much prefer a softer, comfier ride, and just slow down for corners and co-drivers! Liked the blue car with the bright interior. Cheers.
Yes, at 22 mins I am still watching this engaging, informative presentation. This is far better than Clarkson-type motorcar programmes, where the ego of the presenter is half or more of the appeal of the show. This is a review show with class!
I have said it before, and this G-Wagen review confirms it again: Autogefühl has the best car reviews on youtube. I like the view from the center-mounted camera.
My most fave dream SUV, now with the best ergonomic dash/cabin atmosphere of the series. Wind noise definitely has increased ( 31:11 ) the moment you passed the big semi trailer but surely that's the least gripe when you're sitting in one of the best, properly capable SUV out there. Very relaxed and a fine review there Thomas.
"Retaining characteristic shape, and All-New versus Product Update!" Jeep has kept their 'heritage' with the all-new 2019 Wrangler. Daimler-Benz has kept their 'heritage' with the all new 2019 G-Wagen. Toyota has kept its heritage with the 2019 Land Cruiser? Land Rover hasn't kept its 'heritage' by ditching the Defender! Hard luck Land Rover. Excellent review Thomas.
Jaguar/Land Rover missed a trick, they didn't invest any money in the Defender's long and valuable history, didn't improve the recent ones enough (unlike Jeep & Mercedes), and thus may not have been able to get away with claiming a "modern" Defender was just "importantly retaining its characteristic shape", but built and equipped like the new Magna-Steyr G-Class, was just a "product update"...
Loving the Van Halen style music, sehr cool!! You can clearly see that the engineering and design team really put lots of effort into the detail and to improve it in so many aspects compared to the outgoing model, they're passion is much appreciated 👍
I like the camera mounted on the sun roof/panoramic roof (preferably as close to your head as possible without disturbing you or the view of the other camera). it gives us a better perspective of the cabin, and the feeling that we are driving the car ourselves. And please turn it as straight forward as possible without compromising the visibility of the whole dash. I hope it's not too much to ask, but I feel it is the best experience for us as viewers. p.s. I love your reviews Thomas.
Middle mounted camera's absolutely preferred for better exposure and seeing what's the speed or how does it look like as a driver. Just test drove G63 in the race track which totally changed my mind. There was a big question in my mind for a while asking why do they drive this kind of car. But everything changed when I drove it myself. You feel like a king on the road because you're driving king of cars!! or maybe G class was firstly designed by Mercedes for Shah of Iran, King of Persia in 1970s (en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_G-Class ). I really loved the seat lumbar supports when turning fast in the corners. The acceleration sound is a deep enjoyment satisfying me of driving this tank. It is a perfect match for my personality. The feeling is far different than driving other cars. Absolutely considered as the next car.
the axle difflocks are pretty slow to engage. the passenger activated the rear difflock at 1:04:24 and the red light which signals that the diff is locked came on at 1:05:13-- that´s nearly a minute. similar with the front difflock when he tried to back up.
You're a really nice guy Thomas! I love the G63, but the panamericana grille does not fit to this car. The reason is simple. The vertical lines gain an optical effect that makes the grille look like slimmer. This looks terrible, also on the new C63 Coupe. The only car where the pana grille fits is the GT because it gots a very wide grille. Am I the only one who noted this design mistake?
True, panamericana grill steals the show from G-Class. If anyone loves AMG, they can enjoy performance dynamics in E63s AMG (Estate/Coupe/Sedan) & still crave for G-Class, then G500 is the way to go instead of G63, as Thomas well mentioned that off-road capability of G500 being greater than G63 AMG.
SnookerQtr honestly if you could even afford these SUV’s, price likely isn’t an important factor in choosing a model. they’re all still well over $150K.
Well done Mercedes!!! You made the legendary Gelandewagen much better. And thank for keeping the 3X diff-locks, that's what set you apart from other luxury "off-roaders"! Yet again, congratulations with execution of the new G-Class!!! Greetings from South Africa.
Regarding the use of the superb microphone in the windy conditions "It not depending on whats hard for me, it whats better for you" Have my up vote, sir.
Ordered the G63, the almighty mystic cube on wheels. I totally dislike Edition1 tacky variants though. As for rivals, to me the closest would be the new Jeep Wrangler only at a more affordable level of course. And obviously will take it offroad, with three differential locks at hand it's mandatory despite the 21" wheels ;)
G55 owner here. I'd take the G500 over the G63 this time as it's basically the same car with a few difference. the previous generation AMG was way more bespoke.
Thomas, use the camera mounted on the roof more, it gives a better overview of the front interior and the overall road view. How keep the sideview cameras also, it's good to have them too. I love your car reviews and absolutely adore German cars and the immaculate engineering that goes with them. Excellent built quality too. Good one Thomas!!!
The g63 looks more aggressive. That’s the only useable benefits. The classic look is not only for the style, but also very durable. Knowing you’re not gonna get dent and scratches in a very tight parking spot. It will hit the rubber door trim or the size step bar. I think that’s a very satisfying feeling.
How about the turning circle, could they reduce it ? The predassessor felt like a boat and had a huge turning circle of more than 13 meters, almost as big as the one of the defender. The wheel base was just 2,85 meters but it took almost 2 meters more to turn, than the S- class ! Why do off roaders are always so unhandy in general ?
G550 is the better overall choice. Not a fan of the G63. The G is an off-road machine, not a sports car. G550 also drives better on road - the G63 is always trying to switch to 4 cylinder mode, and makes for a jerky/odd ride.
Always like this car in the swb version, will it be available still?? And what is the main tranny on the G63, 9 speed AMG speedshift MCT?? Or the ordinary 725.0?
i actually am liking the front of the car but the way they have rounded the windows and the doors makes it look cheaper to me, i think it would have looked better if they kept last years doors
LOL at all the people talking about how outdated the G wagon style is. They just dont get it. Its timeless and functional. The style is the point of it.
Functional??? It's so hard to open the back door to put my groceries, no space either. I love the boxy shape, though.
You're right!. But that is also a sad commentary on what the G- Class is today. It is really a product marketed on prestige and image not like the original model in the late '70s which was a very basic utility vehicle for serious off-roading. I will wait to see what the new Land-Rover Defender is like - I hope it isn't turned into a superficial luxury toy like what Mercedes has done to the beloved Geländewagen.
Mondo nah it won’t . They have a name for that already, they call it Range Rover
Speak for yourself Rubik's Cube
@@modfus 00э
I much prefer this boxy styling of SUV, its such a classic design. Great vehicle!
Zooks Shut up please
We all do! That’s why they still make them 👊🏻💪🏻
why should Zooks shut up?
MARS Because MarvisTV can only afford a Bicycle
Its not a classic design. The Dodge Challenger has a classic design. The G Wagen is still using the same body from 40yrs ago with modern stuff slapped on.

Thanks keep recommending!
"full hd, full screen, full length" The germans don't do anything half-hearted...
I'm a simple man. I see a Thomas review, I click it. Never disappoints.

This is a review show with class!
dead right
haha jezza is still amazing though
Thomas, you've got the best reviews ever. Carry on.
I agree! Well done Thomas! And the people who thumb their thumbs down here, are just mad because they can not afford the car! lol :)
Great review. I would choose G500.
How did I spend more than one hour watching a car review!!??!! Thats how awesome your reviews are....
👌😎
*goes to a Mercedes dealer*
- What colour would you like?
- Thomas blue please
Like the camera pointing through the wind screen. Thanks Thomas.
The more I hear about the G, the more I'm convinced that it's a rare breed worth acquiring.
best review channel, hands down! tolles video Thomas :)
Spread the word and thx!! :)
Wow look how windy that day was! Even Thomas was leaning quite a bit lol. Keep up the good work this video is 👌
I have said it before, and this G-Wagen review confirms it again: Autogefühl has the best car reviews on youtube.
I like the view from the center-mounted camera.
thanks so much, feel free to recommend :-)
Yes, the camera in the middle provides the best viewing angle, Thomas.
My most fave dream SUV, now with the best ergonomic dash/cabin atmosphere of the series. Wind noise definitely has increased ( 31:11 ) the moment you passed the big semi trailer but surely that's the least gripe when you're sitting in one of the best, properly capable SUV out there.

This is the best channel on TH-cam. It’s always a good day when you upload. Thanks 🙏
Enjoy 😊
Autogefuhl with Thomas is the best in-deep car review
I love your reviews, precise and elaborate!
thanks! Please recommend :-)
Very informative as usual! Thanks! 👍🏾
The central view is the best! Thanks for a great review!
:)

Land Rover said they couldn't get Defender through safety regs - airbags, ABS, ESP, crash tests - so had to stop production.
Range Rover doesn't belong to 70 interior and exterior boring design range rover is about living in 2018♥️♥️ not 70s
16:14 best line ever...”Two adaptive cup holders.”
Very Honest yet Balance explanation and display.
🙏 hope u subbed!
That burgundy wine red color is absolutely Gorgeous!!!😍😍😍
Loving the Van Halen style music, sehr cool!! You can clearly see that the engineering and design team really put lots of effort into the detail and to improve it in so many aspects compared to the outgoing model, they're passion is much appreciated 👍
The Thomas blue is the best looking color on cars.
Kind of a new viewer, very good video Thomas! Regarding the camera, I really like the middle mounted camera for a kind of panoramic view.
Outstanding review once again by Thomas
HEDOES BEST REVIEW ❤
Thanks so much! 🙏 please share our channel / videos 😎
Autogefuhl & MotoManTv, best in class car reviews ever. Many thanks for your big job! Danke!
Cheers!!
Always a pleasure to see you Thomas in this excellent reviews !!!!
And yes - I have to say - Thomas-blue is a very good choice :-)

Will do!
Drove this recently it's a great truck SUV hybrid that is very comfortable even on rough roads, great all around car

Thomas working hard with all his strength to give us the best review. Thank you, Thomas! 🤗
🙏🙏
Very honest review 👍
Excellent, sensible, balanced report - unlike most of the others
don't forget it's not just standard G63 (red stripes...) it's Edition One, which available only in the firs year (2019)of selling that cars
Wow long video but a good one, side camera works best for everyone to see the dash and road clearer in sunlight!
thanks Steven for your point :)
the axle difflocks are pretty slow to engage. the passenger activated the rear difflock at 1:04:24 and the red light which signals that the diff is locked came on at 1:05:13-- that´s nearly a minute. similar with the front difflock when he tried to back up.
Yes but think about thats happening while driving
It would also be very interesting if you could do a duo review between new G-Class and new Range Rover.
The Thomas blue looks the best!
I'm a simple man. I see a Thomas review, I click it. Never disappoints.
You're a really nice guy Thomas!

first thing came to my mind!!
That is why I so much prefer G500. For me also sounds much more „meaty”
I agree 100%
Nice work blocking out all that wind in the audio!
Astonishing vehicle,I wish one day I could have one,thank you Autogefühl &Thomas for the amazing review,keep up the good work.
Thx ahmed!
Wow the g500 actually looks better for once
i highly disagree lol
@@BrandonRamirezJ for the price difference... seems like the better choice
SnookerQtr honestly if you could even afford these SUV’s, price likely isn’t an important factor in choosing a model. they’re all still well over $150K.
G 500 looks better
Subjective.
Thomas these new cam angles for driving are awesome. pls have a test of the Touareg 3
here it is: th-cam.com/video/0SS5vg07paw/w-d-xo.html
You are No1 Thomas, keep the high quality videos coming. Danke!
will do with your support! :)
The new camera setup is better for the road test
if possible i think we will keep using this perspective :)
Being salomonic, I'd say this setup is perfect for big offroaders and SUV's whilst the other one suits sportier cars better.
Zenith Red I think you're right, it's spot on.
Well, the only review i was waiting for was yours.
Personally i would love more drive by shots :)
All my life I have being in love with this brand.
Me too. 💖
Good job buddy ! Keep it up bro.
Great informative review. I like the panoramic camera view point. It allows the viewer to see the great scenery as well as the car’s ability.
awesome comparison !!
Great video , i support you
🙏🙏🙏
Very informative and good footage.
Saw G500 yesterday. Could not believe how HUGE that thing was. Wow.
Well done Mercedes!!! You made the legendary Gelandewagen much better. And thank for keeping the 3X diff-locks, that's what set you apart from other luxury "off-roaders"! Yet again, congratulations with execution of the new G-Class!!! Greetings from South Africa.
Yea Boiii! I love G-wagons. Thanks for the perfect review.
share the video with your friends if you like it :)
Probably in a minority here, but I love the driving position, looking down on the bonnet. Gives you much greater confidence.
Chapeau Thomas!!!! No need to say anything further..
BTW Thnx for holding that mic for better sound😊😊
In ur service :)
ITs EASILY the most iconic SUVs on the road. The Range Rover is a close second but the G Wagon reigns supreme
Wow , Looks fantastic . Great noise from the V8 . I would buy in a heartbeat especially after watching Thomas review . Great camera angles too
Thanks 🙏
Another great review like it so much watch it twice
enjoy and share =)
Because of this review I baught the new g63 thanks and it’s too good

Thx spread the word :)
Another great review Thomas.
thx and spread the word :)
Great review!
thx buddy!
love your review.
Ordered the G63, the almighty mystic cube on wheels. I totally dislike Edition1 tacky variants though. As for rivals, to me the closest would be the new Jeep Wrangler only at a more affordable level of course. And obviously will take it offroad, with three differential locks at hand it's mandatory despite the 21" wheels ;)
I agree. Ordered the G63 aw well. The edition 1 is just tacky.
How much did u spend on it
I ordered 4 myself, just in case the first 3 break.
great channel deserves more views
thanks, feel free to recommend!
dear tomas, you should compare amg g63 VS range rover sv autobiography 5.0 supercharged or overfinch version....
G55 owner here. I'd take the G500 over the G63 this time as it's basically the same car with a few difference. the previous generation AMG was way more bespoke.
Very good review...
Your voice is fantastic. Pls do the review of Mercedes G wagon vs Land Rover Defender
Thanks 🙏
I have not seen an in depth review of an automobile like this. Plz tell me the meaning of AUTOGEFUHL.
Great video on the wagon, thanks for the clarity
cheers keep tuning in!
Aw your review is so sweet! Even explaining the mic ahaha
=)
So thorough as per usual Thomas! Amazing and well done! 🙌🏻😃🏆
👍👍
Thanks for comparison, yet it so long!
