What is the shoe model of Thomas on that video? They look great!
Love how G-class customers buy a literal brick and then complain that it's noisy on the motorway. If that's all you buy it for then get a GLS
I once overheard a customer's wife ask why the g class didn't have soft close doors and that the doors were hard to close. 😂😂
@@AvocadoAtrocityit's the case with rich ignorant ppl throughout the world, they don't know basics. Still if we put "kardashianicus" ppl aside G class is a brilliant piece of engineering.
Its the wrong people buying them for the wrong reasons.
I'm convinced that the uber rich are just extremely lucky braindead zombies who all failed their way upwards.
most G-class customers have room temperature IQ anyways
I would not have realized that it had a facelift had it not been in the title, it looks the same as before
If it isn't broken, don't fix it right? There was no need to change, it's extremely iconic already and i don't think anyone who wants to buy one really cares...
Almost as if that was intended....Guess you dont know about the Porsche 911 either. Both are icons and both will always go through evolutions as opposed to revolutions.
It’s giving IPhone energy! Same look different software update 🤭
Not a bad thing tbh. It is built for a purpose and the design serves that well :)
Autogefühl Thomas is the best. Full explanation
way to go!

Why aren't the fuel consumption numbers not included I wonder
This is a static review where we could not test fuel consumption. Besides that, fuel consumption for this one is probably off the scale
What about Apple CarPlay/Andorid Auto is now wireless?
Keyless go? No need to open/close with the key buttons?
Keyless go yes now standard

Need your vote / comment on this! Soon coming: Electric G-Class presentation. After that: Driving the updated G-Class. For that, I d like to know from you, which version we should drive for you. G63 (would have that new suspension), G500, G40d or electric G-Class (would have that G turn turnaround on standstill). The electric one is of course the most "new" one and has special EV features, the G63 has the new suspension, the "normal" models are somehow more traditional G-Class and I personally favor them, but then again (more than) half of the G-Class is sold as G63 anyways and thus it might be the most important model. Just a few thoughts. Please leave a comment which engine version you would like to see to be driven by me! /Thomas
I was about to ask for Electric G Wagon news...
Do G500. You prefer it and it’s new engine for G class. So will be good to know how it works. You can do electric G later 😉
Please test the G450d, the G-Class will be at his best with the diesel engine
I MUST own a G63
Thank you for the preview. In my household in the UK we only do Landrover for this sort of thing.
People don't understand how much I've been looking forward for an update
This is so epic Like the G63 was epic from the starting and they improved it further Like they gave the touch screen , the more improved suspensions and kept the V8 🔥 ❤.
Great review...Thanks
Thank you Thomas for a fantastic overview! Really impressed with the numerous technical improvements in this mid-cycle enhancement while keeping the G’s iconic style. Well done Mercedes! 👍🏼
cheers m8 !
Tommas nice job 🎉
Yeah you really got to know the G glass very well to know the difference between the old models 🤷♂️
Tommas's reviews never get old ! And so nice of you to mention a quick tribute to your camerawoman 😊 About the AMG.. so it has a touch screen, climate buttons, hotkeys, volume and tuning wheels, infotainment controller and still the interior looks nice and decluttered ! Why not just do this in all cars? WHY !!!!
thanks my friend !
Someday the g-wagon will get a worthy double moonroof😮
Excellent review...awesome vehicle.
I’m so happy I went ahead ordering a loaded 24. Arrives next week with current steering wheel😊 and IWC clock. I’m a very happy camper.
Fantabulous comparison review
thanks so much, please share !
Just superb!❤
Great review 👌
cheers !
what happened to the Channels tab? or maybe i'm not seeing it for some reason, how do i find your other channels?
Steering wheel looks very nice.
From Japan. We enjoyed.
I'd like a green G450d with a brown interor
I love this car so much, it is my grail vehicle. Currently daily a 22 GLE and I don't think I'll ever stray away from the silver arrows after owning it. They are on another level
Anything that Thomas review, I'll make time to watch it. lol!
cheers bro !
Nooooooo, not new ugly steering wheel 😭
Other changes are cool tho.
@@maniac.chopper which are? same oputdated screens from 2000x? )
@@rootready All of them in my opinion. As to the screens, I personally drive cars usually to get from point A to B comfortably, not to watch movies behind the wheel on a big screen. I have not yet been in updated G63, but it looks exactly as before and this is great methinks.
Exactly, why do they need to ruin every car with this nonsense.
@@rootready I didn't know 2000's cars had 360 camera, wireless car play/android auto, MBUX you can talk functions to and a touch screen. But go on lol.
That is an amazing shade of blue.
Thomas, I'm a Mercedes-Benz owner-driver (25+ years) so I've driven most of the Classes. I took a G-Class for a test drive once. Der Geländewagen ist sicherlich ,,Panzer gebaut".
Wow, I wanted the new E53 AMG... but this/that is pretty awesome. It is a boring box, but crucially, it is a boring box with large amounts of visibility and I miss that in cars. Hilariously I also love those door closing sounds. :)
That blue😍
Thank you Autogefühl and Thank you Mercedes! ❤
cheers m8 !
So awesome ❤❤❤❤
😂 First Time from Việt Nam ..thank for Engsub
Love your videos guys. It would be cool to see you test the new suspension btw
thanks we will !
I love the G63 AMG special olive green off-roader.
Finally car manufacturers are getting the hint that velocity performance shouldn’t be pushed higher. Suspension improvements and efficiency instead should be pursued.
its cause they know they can't compete with tesla, tesla will leave ANY car in the dust, so now the other ICE have to focus on suspensions roflmao
"Efficiency" and "G-class" don't really belong in the same sentence
Beautiful 💙
So awesome! I will get it one day
yeah its a must, i dont care.
Is there a G squared version comming?
Don't get me wrong, but there's this and the s class which in my opinion they still like a proper mercedes Benz build.
Driving comfort is very very good in my 2019 G550. Every passenger falls asleep within ~30 minutes. The new gen 2019 with a V8 is probably the best deal ever, at ~$100K USD.
Lol
IWC digital watch an extra-option?
What an icon of the motoring industry, and the car's not bad either! Great review and camera work - Thomas and Leah. "Hey Mercedes - please be kind to ALL animals"
thanks my friend !
Thomas we need a G65 AMG with a V12!
what are the changes ?
the shmee influence!
I would love a non leather, no all bells and whistles, basic diesel version than could take offorad.
cheap , with no so much tech , just robust machine... maybe 3 door...👍👌
@@wugypropuh7792yes, offer one version similar to the original, black bumpers, cloth seats,etc
等待你的中文影片在(車之感)for G63
I love it!!!! 🥰
Hi Thomas, do you have any information if the turning circle is now smaller due to el. steering ?
good question. I will try to resolve.
@@autogefuehlThank you ! I think it is interesting because the pre facelift turning circle is often mentioned as a negative fact of the G
@@autogefuehlUnfortunately the same big turning circle as before
The diesel g class with the off road package
Could you lease let me know if you are planning to make a review for TLC300 GR-Sport?
we ll try to get a Land Cruiser yes but not sure yet when
@@autogefuehl Thank you.
when will the driving review come out? also, I thought we wouldn't see any update to the G-class until the new electric version (EQG) comes out!?
We will soon present you the electric G-Class and after that, a driving review where you guys still have to pick in advance if we should review G63, G500, G450d or electric G
is it too much to ask to review all 4 versions?😅@@autogefuehl
yeah that wont be possible neither time-wise nor vehicle availability wise sadly
Honestly, I wished we in the states could get the diesel motor option!
i like to buy for its door closing sound.
G450d would be my pick of the lot.
It is the most iconic all-terrain vehicle of all time, it has stood the test of time quite well, this update looks very impressive on the street, nothing like it on the market, but I agree with Tomas, being so square it should not be very aerodynamic One day I got into one and despite it being a luxury war tank, when I closed the door I was disappointed since it is too flat due to its original design since 1979, there I realized that it must not be so comfortable for the cost. What it has, it is true it is more of a car to show, or for those who drive offroad routes. Greetings!!
What happened to the cattle guards?
Love it. It's almost perfect, if only it kept the previous steering wheel design. Otherwise, I would buy it immediately if i had the funds😢❤
My Dream Car!
Lovely in blue, not a fan of the G, nor matt paint. But.... this looks wonderful !
Facelift no. 182. I would never go for factory mat paint. Normal paint and clear mat wrap is much easier for maintenance... I like G class (non-AMG) but I would never drive it because of it's clientele.
what is the Leas channel?
I’ve driven the G63 and G550 cross country here in the states and it was fun but not the most comfortable. Has Mercedes fixed the random windshield cracking issue?!
thanks for your feedback! Oh tell me about this issue?
@autogefuehl There seems to have been two camps in the windshield crack victims: >1) A stone impacts the glass resulting in a crack - makes sense. the upright nature of the windshield doesn't allow debris to skip off and there's a obvious impact. >2) The ones I experience were seemingly random cracks out of no where. I mean you could be driving slowly, no stones to the windshield and then you glance over and there's a decent sized crack. It also happened when I went over a bump on the highway (nothing too jarring) and boom there's another crack. I thought it was bad luck but going on Benz message boards showed that others ran into this as well. Both times for me the cracks appeared on the passenger side in almost the same place 🤷♂. Some suggested theres an inherent tension in the windshield due to how it's seated in the frame or perhaps some twisting in the body induces it (I don't think there's much twisting in a G frame or body) but no one really knows for sure. Owners have tried putting a layer of screen protector type material to help avoid windshield damage/cracking but the results are very mixed. But overall the truck is very enjoyable and the side pipes on the G63 are pretty sweet.
Thanks for the report!
@Siracheetah G550 is a better overall value and a little more relaxed
Same gle interior
You said it's expensive how much is the AMG one ?
Do you know that the Shah of Iran recommended G Wagon to Mercedes Benz to be built?
interesting!
@@autogefuehl kzhead.info/sun/iqWOprFvkaB8aYU/bejne.htmlsi=DxzJL4WgRAjHZW4K
So sad to lose the IWC Analog Clock and replaced with the same cheap climate buttons as the A-Class. More cost cutting it seems.
Would rather have the buttons than having it all moved to the screen like the EQs
That’s quite a colour.
Sorry but the words GWagen and aerodynamics should not be uttered in the same sentence.
The Emirates will love paying top dinar for this pimped up Suzuki Jimney
Luxury, with aerodynamics of a garden shed. 😂
I would love if another car company made an affordable G Wagon shaped car
What has been updated I wonder
How have they not put better seats in back of this by now. Over 150 grand and you get a park bench for a back seat.
Aww i didn't know she is a woman behind the cam. She's very good! ❤
🙏🙏
Love
I like the colour
Do you mean color ?
ehh...finally to see how the back seats are falling flat!!! Does this apply to all G classes? If so this will be my next car 🚗
I wish they sold the 2.0 4-cyl in Europe, like they do in some other markets, not that I can afford it right now
Lol, and nobody would buy it because everyone would be afraid of the engine blowing up in such a heavy car.
4:25 that sounded satisfying The front lip is too fat, but the G-class still looks nice otherwise.
I think this is the correct "Thomas" blue right? For me G-Class + 🔵 =💙
hehe yes
Dear Thomas, Whilst the Land Cruiser 300 is not officially sold in the EU, they are legal to import and certain German off-road sells them. Make a review of the Land Cruiser 300-series happen!!
We got this: kzhead.info/sun/pMWqpc-rfaynjXk/bejne.html
It is also tax deduction in USA
Someone stole Shmee's G Wagon.
Shmee is a schmuck hate him
This car literally came out a few years ago and youre telling me there has been a facelift already?😮
This generation came out in 2018. That’s 6 years ago, some manufacturers release a new generation entirely after 6 years xD
G500 no V8 😮
still a real Mercedes !!!
no more clock :(
No more IWC built in watch? Hmm
Great to see beautiful Lea in the forest.
Beautiful car but when you sit in rear, your height is definitely confusing 😁
In my country, this car has doubled the price 😢
The most anticipated Benz in Bulgaria 😂
russian mafia loves it too...
Keeping up with Kardashians fans are impressed
Waiting your chinese language channel New G63 video ❤❤
G-Class off road package all the way
