Maybe quality and construction are better because it's built by Magna Steyr and not in a standard Mercedes-Benz sweat factory like in Alabamy or Kung Fu land.
@@AkioWasRight Tbf the E, S, SL and GT are built in Germany. The SUVs built in right to work states definitely have the worst quality. Minimum wage gets you minimum quality.
@@jaymum23 I'd still bet Magna Steyr does things better, or at least they would in this case. Mercedes can afford complacency when it builds its own cars, allowing quality slips. Since Magna Steyr is a contract manufacturer, they would have to constantly be at the top of their game.
@@cvcc8083 Way better quality than their SUVs. Both materials and workmanship. Being put together by well-compensated professionals makes a difference.
thanks for the review. I ordered a G 550 several months ago and it is scheduled to come into Long Beach at the end of November. I was impressed with the quality inside and out and it drove very, very well.
All Mercedes models ARE built like this, for the EU market at least. I've sat in a million C classes, E class or S classes, and am allergic to squeaks, and none of them have been like the ones tested on this channel. Especially the new E class.
Yeah I was looking at getting a Mercedes E class coupe. Idk the quality had me questioning for the money. Might as well get a Mazda, Volvo, BMW, or Audi lol
That’s the typical export spec for simpler thinking amercians who don’t order cars themselves. The configurator is full of options to make this perfect

@@jaymum23 Didn't seem like S-Class had any better quality than their SUVs.

@@jaymum23 I just came from a S-class video. The quality was as good (or as bad) as the GLS from the same generation.
Aside from the signature door closing sound, it's nothing that special, except for the price. The overall quality doesn't go beyond its shell.
No wonder G-Wagons hold their value so well with very little depreciation!

this car productioning in Austria, not together with other Mercedes
@@point4894 Correct, in Austria by Magna Steyr. The BMW Supra is built there too.👏
@@jaymum23 And the Z4 as well...
I work at Mercedes G, Body in White :)
Extremely well build cars ❤ G Wagon for ever!

The last Mercedes with proper build quality
@@Swiss4.2 Wrong a few of them still have good quality
They’ve been watching your videos now they’re starting to listen to
When I win the lottery
This looks to be fine. My E W213 if fine too. It seems that it matters a lot what class the car is and what is the production country.
you need to do a land cruiser 200
Making ma nerves bad how he pressing, touching and scratching everything 😂🤣

Or just get a G class, if you actually watched the video. Nothing from those other brands is this solid.
@@jaymum23 lmao 🤣 I bet a Toyota Tacoma is as solid as this shit.
@@barbecuetechtips6024 with hard plastic anything is solid.
@@_tuplawee_ No its always what squeeks. And its thin.
@@_tuplawee_ coat plastic with soft coating. Win win lol
test the 11th generation honda accord, i promise it will impress you
Black piano plastic heaven (hell)
Its built in the country of the German painter. Not Alabama or Mexico
Inline 6 in a g wagon is a JOKE!
But how the hell can plastic be used as some kind of decor lol.
They watch your videos. I guess they starting to make improvements
Such a shame tbh Mercedes went downhill rapidly
Lmao such a hate channel. This truck does amazingly well and the comments are still negative.😂
@@jaymum23Exactly 😂
@@jaymum23 There are better SUV than this $160k german scrap!
@@ahmadahmal2942namely? Drop a video link too
i will buy a G class
8/10 for fit and finish,
7/10 materials
It all what you want to write in description.
Dislike.
The answer to why they can’t all be like this is then they’d all cost $150k. 😅
STOP - Molesting the 2025 Mercedes Benz G550🛑
$160k for this cheap interior? This SUV looks outdated inside out with lots of cheap acrylic glossy plastic.
If you don’t option the full leather interior that’s what you get.
