"The largest RV allowed on British roads." Aww, isn't that little thing just so cute.
yeah, that was a learning for me. Here in the US a 70+ retired couple who only ever drove a buick can buy a dually pickup and a 40' fifth wheel and take to the roads with no training. To haul that size trailer commercial requires commercial truck driver training and testing.
as much as we'd love to hate this beast, i give props to MB for updating it enough to continue to comply with the very strict safety and emissions regulations in the US, i.e. california. Other SUVs like the Defender and Pajero have since perished here because of those hurdles, yet the G wagon soldiers on.
This car is quicker from 0 to 60 with a 2 ton caravan than my car with only me in it :)
+BlitzkriegRap and btw I'm not 2 tons
+BlitzkriegRap 👏
Almost twice as fast, in my case.

Btw these aren't electronically Diffs, but rather real mechanical Diffs electronically activated.
testing a car like this for sportiness is like testing an m3 for its off-road ability
amg is a sport badge
@@EngiNetion AMG is a performance division, with a monster V8, good braking, and great off road ability, it does have performance.
I just love the G63 .... will be in my stable soon
I don't need a G-Class, is thirsty, difficult to drive and park, but i love that bad-ass, rude, prehistoric, mafia look when i see it on the streets.. and that noise.. I prefer G much more than a "breakable" and "depreciation value" Range Rover.
i got the 290GD engine with electronic injector pump and turbo in my converted 1987G ,its not thirsty at all, beat all other veterans 30 years , .. lovely to drive outside racetracks where its meant to be..mighty good comfort on the higway as well .. bad forest and mountain roads became a dream to drive with the G..
Thumbs up
The Corolla in Dubai and Russia..
lol
+Chrstian “Driver” mrclep More like...in LA...soccer moms
soccer moms be like range rovers.not badass wagons
then you have never been to LA
RedTSX LA has nothing on moscow and Dubai. even selected areas such as bel air or b.hills are 3rd world cars in comparison, by quantity and variety.
Buy a Range Rover instead? I'll pass that, I don't want to spend another 25 grand for fixing it after.
Agreed. Do the other two tests with the Range Rover for comparison.
of course it sucks. it has its steering wheel on the wrong side.
VEOTech *facepalm* please tell me your being sarcastic
Preet Jaswal wtf im Not brain amputated
VEOTech boxy ugly car, where is the design or style of this car? doesn't even take a corner
I can see this being great for Highway driving where most US drivers will want that extra power with minimal curves
The Mercedes drives horrible, but the Range Rover won't drive at all (standing in a garage getting fixed).
Nice video though.
Lmao. My uncle paid 140k for his range rover vogue and it is always in the service getting fixed🤔
biased towards the range Rover, motor trends personal favorite vehicle is the G and Chris Harris can spin the tires no problem in one.
4000 kg and faster than my 2.0 golf
+Igor K and doesn't scream LOOK AT ME AND THE SHIT I SPEND MY MONEY ON BECAUSE I CAN
+Gonzalo Parisi What year? that is quite slow. Without the trailer it is "only" 1.1 seconds faster than my car.
More comfortable then a G wagon?
my 01 540i sporwagon is more comfortable than any g class
and also my sportwagon can tow (unofficially, but from bimmerforums, 9400lbs)
also my sportwagon holds more people and cargo and handles better
it's better in every measurable way (except with passenger oriented tech like satnav but that's subjective)
your golf may be "slower" but it's a better vehicle for real roads in most ways lmao!!!!!
Adolf Hitler LOL,.... more comfortable, for sure. Best Joke ever. This is a 4x4 and You compare it.
I’ll spend 100K more if I need to for my MB !!!
There’s a reason top Range Rover cost so much cheaper !!!!! G made out of STEEL !!!!!
This was a good video until you got to the stupid Range Rover plug. Putting a G Wagon to a slalom test makes as much sense as placing an aircraft carrier in a Cigarette boat race.
It's fast in a straight line, that's what people will use it for : Autobahn. Of course any SUV won't handle well on a racetrack, your Range Rover won't even be able to start. I swear, Brits are the only ones to praise their range rovers and jags.
Simon Vuille
No dude
In the hole world a range rover is a range rover
And let me say to you
The real owner of this cars don’t give a fuck about which one is more reliable or something, only the ones that won’t afford any of those cars says that they are bad or something
Hahaha!!! Nothing can ever beat a British made car. Seeing it’s an English show, it was expected ;)
Actually, you are not saving money with a Range Rover because...you have to buy another 1 for spare parts.
jajesam sigurno good one 😆
A car that has All the style of a coffin and a Brick
this truck is my dream anyone who can appreciate this vehicle will understand why people like this truck the look is awesome this cars owner means business it's a off road monster point blank it's not a sport truck I love this vehicle.
This guy comparing G63 with Range Rover?????
Yes.
They do compete
Who told you g63 compete with range?
Range Rover & G Wagon are 2 Rivals that compete in off road, performance & luxury. Range Rover Dominates in comfort.
I hate when ppl do that
Fifth gear, its not for track driving. Its an SUV, and the priority is therefore off-road ability. So the best car at being an SUV is the G-class, or to be more precise, the G-300 Professional (its the stripped-out, 461-gen version used by 63 militaries globally)
+Jordan Bell It is not an SUV. It is one of the very few off-road cars.
It needs to be widened and possibly lowered or cornering at high speeds is just like driving a 93 explorer
Horrible with a capital H is the look of your new Land Rovers lately... and they won't get close to the G Wagon.
my dream car. i love the "i dont give a fuk" attitude that it has lol
My dream car
It handles horribly on the toad to preserve the off-road capabilities. Ive driven many of these for work (MB dealer tech), they handle very well, for a mid-sized oil tanker...that is drunk. LOLZ!
It is called the super off roader because 3 things in 1
The best car in the world! Simply Brutal Class G .. G500..G63 AMG..G65 AMG !! Forever MBenz G Class or Gelandewagen !!
Why didn't Land Rover do this with the defender? Not saying they should've but that would be unbelievably cool.
Money. They are a bankrupt company many times over passed along from sugar daddy to sugar daddy. Hard to make long term plans when you don't know when the funding for the next round of safety/emissions certifications are going to come from.
So is there any point in getting either of the AMG versions instead of the 550?
It does have more power. But for me, the most powerful diesel version will do nicely.
Well according to Top gear and fifth gear apart from jaguar, Aston Martin and land rover everything else is junk.
it is soo true :) you said it.. i have also noticed that propaganda
Because those are British cars , such a bias review.
Buy a range rover and you and the mechanic will be as a family after 😛
Imagine any other motor manufacturer making the same car since 1979.oh I forgot about porsche . 😃
monster with style
I think the idea of the "pre-historic" stability system is to keep auto journalists from flipping a car that's worth 4 years' of their salary and they don't own.
It may look like a tank, but I wouldn’t turn my nose up at it if someone gave me one...
I thought I'd give it a shot, I love the G-Class, so may as well watch a Fifth Gear review. Big mistake. Fifth Gear is absolutely rubbish.
Badass car
Let's be honest: Race tracks and G-Class aren't really best friends.
everytime i see one of these even make a slight turn the body looks like its about to tip over it looks funny to say the least.
4:16 😂
l have g class from 1986 have 900.000km l didnt never have a problem👍
That is absolutely awesome! Congratulations. :) The G-Class is my favorite car. :)
Favorite vehicle? Well, you can have a Unimog or a Zetros as campers, so that would be a tough one. :)
яб собі таке хотів би
красивая тачка!
it is indeed a HORRIBLE drive but i rather own it than own a range rover :P but really i cant say it enough that thing is VERY BAD to drive :P
+KingStivan but why ? and why not a range rover?
Lucas Sobrinho its tall and heavy and it leans like nobody's business and im 100% sure that the brakes would last exactly 4 days worth of me driving it !! and the steering OMG i use to drive a 92 buick roadmaster that had better steering :P on the other hand i drove a rover once and it felt lifeless and somehow it felt like death to me :S i dont know i just dont like them :>
+KingStivan Driving ONE model ONCE and you make all these judgements????? Grow up
+SupraJDM I'll try to do that for you random person on the Internet...
+KingStivan I rented a Range Rover for 3 weeks and thought it was glorious and there are not many reviewers who disagree. Perhaps you were actually in a Lada Niva?
Mercedes G-class vs Range Rover in offroad
I'd have loved to see a comparison between this and a fucking diesel quashai towing the same caravan
Hi .I would see all your episodes.And,one request you can give an video about rolls Royce Cullinan and lamborghini urus .All the best for all the videos and you.
Mercedes Benz G class Dubsta FTW
itd be cool if someone took this G and hooked up a heavy boat like a Malibu 24LSV and towed from the bay area up to Lake Tahoe. That would show towing to the max. Then once up there attempt to do parts of the rubicon utilizing the locking diffs. I have now watched about six different reviews on the G and not one has expressed the point and really the advantage of having locking diffs as opposed to the Range Rover which is essentially limited slip. I took the new range off road and it did well but it bounced around a lot once the obstacle required low range and technical articulation. Too bad the Range does not have a button like the G that allows one to lock out the three different diffs. Anyone else think this test could have been more dramatic meaning more weight to tow, harder off road, and what its like over taking cars on the freeway or just a couple drag races against other cars. I agree taking this car on a track is pretty ridiculous to me but it is funny to watch.
First at least drive it once, then you'll be telling something! It is cool car with it is own unique style and drive! You have to feel that car
thats why they make ml63
+Denis VR6 still a AMG car should be at least good to drive
thats a nice mercedes
The 6x6 pickup truck looks better:-)
+Quinn Lorimer its doable
+Leon games what?
Fifth Gear, the show where we complain about the agility of an SUV with three locking diffs without showing you what those diffs will do
G is not built for the track or high speed road. It's a design feature the stability control comes in early to keep the brick on the road. It's about 100% off road first, and not be a poseur. Do what I do, buy a real sports car to go with your G for the track and keep the G for what its good at, such as deep snow, and chasing balloons in the outback.
Preposterous! Your review is as good as blasphemy. Comparing a G63 to a Range rover is like comparing the US army to Haitis army. Both exist but one dominates!
that's not OFFroading
That was off-road? My fiat Punto can do that too!
Bravt! Seems. festive quirky What's your opinion about tmis 1!
Mercedes is horrible to drive ? Hold my beer son!
Oh I just love this car :)
Ok i love the Range Rover, but that was an awfully biased comment.
tbf though you don't lose half its value in a couple of years unlike the range rover
G or Hummer ???? G always , what a car !!
Can'y compare G WAGON WITH RANGE ROVER SPORT. WHAT YOU CAN SAY IS BUY AN MERCEDES ML63 AMG .
Agreed. You can't compare the G with anything, there is no comparison. It is unique in its the very last of the great "old school" off roads now that the Range Rover is a ford explorer wanna be with extra trim and Land Rover is a soccer mom vehicle built on a Tahoe competitor frame (Sequoia). Maybe a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is close if you don't have the G AMG bucks, but I will leave the wimpy V6 to the masses.
Meant Land Cruiser is based on Sequoia.
might as well get a full size conversion van and save all that money for travelling
X carretera normal va bien, x circuito no obviamente
howfy? it's great! numberless versed ! 11
Why would you take G to a race track ?
Because AMG.
The G wagon is bulletproof reliability and the range rover will break down at every opportunity. That's why you buy a G wagon. Thanks.
it's 2016 and this nigga still rockin iOS 5 ? bruh💀😂
Range Rover!!!!!!!!
Tractor is more comfortable than any Range Rover.
The hate on the Rangie and road test is brutal here. God all the Merc fanboys hate it when someone else says it’s a terrible drive
So it does everything a SUV is supposed todo and nothing it isn't.
Designed, Engineered and Made Made in Saudi Arabia :P
It's more likely for such a car to tow a yacht or horses, than a Gypsy or Mynheer manison. At least Top Gear would have destroyed it with the test, a point of honour (not for racist reasons, but for unblocking the streets)
Me G class mer Bab
look @ that BODY ROLL! It's not even a 350
Really? what a stupid idea to do an intro while sitting on top of a G-Class, what's the point?
mercedes still number 1????
Yeah, but then you have to drive a range rover, which is rather unpleasant.
я б за токое его ленчивал
Could we have a few fuel figures ? Come on you guys ....... do a little more over the shoulder " Top Gear " , dissect the technology ....... get the gauges on it . But may be make sure it ' s not out of the V Dub shed when you do it !
i dont think kim kardashian does any of this with her g wagon
hers spends its time in the paint shop getting new colors. I bought A used G from LA, I hope it was Demi Moores not hers since there will be less seat wear.
Reupload
Hey thgre, You're A Good Friend. fireman languid What do you thirk?
honest review
Its not meant for speed
Its a show car why do you think all the celebrities have one
Drove mine on a 600 mile road trip over the weekend, sometimes at speeds over 100mph. And I did some off road in between. It put up a show, so it IS A SHOW car after all.
that was not a proper off road test
Evergreen suv
malayalam songs
Buy yourself and Land Cruiser and you will save yourself mechanics' bills.
You mean a re-badged soccer mom Sequoia?
My f-250 tows 10 times that
dude even my 2001 540i sporwagon can tow 9400lbs
g wagon is a cunts truck (bought by people with image and psychological problems)
my car does not make it to 60mph
15 year old daughter expects 5000$ a month allowance requires g-wagon, likes interior.
uk cant compete with germans, cars,football,etc
Nissan patrol defeated most of the branded SUVs
Had a 300GD, it drove like a tank off-road. It's strange to hear "reliability" and "G-wagon" in the same sentence, though.
The G63 is a nice machine, but versus a Rangie Sport SVR or the Rangie SVAutobiography it makes little sense.
+TheGreatLoco Not really bro, my g300 has 300k km and never had to repair a single thing.
+Master Ch!3f Perhaps they sorted out the problems over the time bro. I would go off-road to visit some clients after floodings, returning was another story.
