New car profile: retro in appearance with fashion

The G-Class' appearance has not changed much in 39 years, and the original mechanical sense is intriguing. The square body, protruding turn signals, and external spare tire are all labels of its identity. The new car adopts geometric multi-beam LED headlights and LED taillights, giving it a bit more refinement, while the new car's body color is also richer, with as many as 24 color schemes available upfronts.

The interior of the new car has a new look, although still dominated by flat lines, completely without the rough feeling of the previous model, the materials and workmanship can be satisfactory. Like many other Mercedes-Benz models, it also uses a dual 12.3-inch screen with a strong sense of technology. The three differential lock buttons are still arranged in the middle of the center console, which is the soul of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class.

The new car's body size has been comprehensively increased compared to the current model, which will help the space inside the car. The rear of the car is still the same, only the details have been fine-tuned, and the reversing camera adopts a hidden design, which is not easy to get dirty when off-road, and also ensures the simplicity of the appearance.

The interior luxury is greatly improved

Average space performance

Although the new G-Class has an overall increase in interior space compared to the old model, the space is still not comparable to other mid-size SUVs. It doesn't matter, after all, no G-Class owner will care about the space of a few fists and fingers.
