Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2020

The Merc G-Class has raised the bar with the improved interior in the car moving inside the vehicle. The car now gets elbow and knee room for what used to be cramped up throughout the cabin, besides an increased 150mm of legroom on its rear. Further, the ambience around the car's interior has now improved its appeal to attract the urban audience. The updated dashboard now assigns 12-inch screens, mated to updated infotainment and functionality. Other improvements around the car include a 15 speaker and a 590-watt Burmester sound system.

In the rear of the car, the Wagon gets 37.4 cubic feet of cargo space, further expanding to 79.5 cubic feet once you fold the rear. 

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class seems to have retained its styling over the years, which might be good news for car lovers. However, the automaker fails to update the blunt-looking handles in the car mounted to the body with exposed hinges. Further, the vehicle gets a windshield that is somewhere around 90-degrees. While the front of the car seems to have been refined with more muscular lines that give an aggressive appeal to the vehicle, the rear continues to carry a spare tire. The front also provides retro touches and offers heavy bumpers that add to a broader car's appeal. Interestingly, the improved height now allows the car to wade water 100mm deeper than before and allow it to lean over 35-degrees over slopes.

Further, with an improved stance and a circle rimmed LED headlight, the car continues to dominate the SUV segment with its military-styled looks.  

Handling the G-Class SUV is indeed reliable. With specs improved for off-roading, the car is doing great for its improved weight and height. The G-Class feels swift and faster for its range. While the handling might not be agile for the roads like its other cars in the lineup, the G-Class is undoubtedly a reliable performer.

Coming to the engine, the car gets two trims to choose from. The smaller engine on offer is a 2.9L inline-6 engine that churns out an impressive 282 hp of power besides giving out 600 Nm of peak torque. The other, more powerful engine on offer is a 4.0L twin-turbo gasoline V8 engine that can give out a defying 416 hp of power besides giving out 610 Nm of torque. With a four-wheel-drive being the standard for all variants, the trims are mated to a 9-speed 9G-TRONIC automatic transmission. 

G-Class's braking setup matches the other, with McPherson Strut on the front and dual-wish multi bone suspension on its rear. The G-Class comes with dual front airbags and active driver assistance, and cross-wind assist, among others.

While the Mercedes-Benz G-Class might not be the ideal selection of a majority, the car retains its appeal to a section of users. Further, while the price tag might not be under several buyers' taste and performance, the ones who can afford such a luxury can surely go with the SUV.
