Show the speedometer when you race eachother. Would be awesome to see what speed you usually reach
Yes
4:40
Elon Musk don’t know what your on about. There was only about 6 seconds of talking during it.
fellekillen99 yes
@Elon Musk You can see a 360° version of the drag races. Not sure what you're on about
I love these old vs new drag races, because they show how cars have become incredibly fast over the years. Except for Toyotas.
or Subarus
Lol. So fckin true
Yeah they go slower over the years xD
Don’t know about you but I’d prefer my nan to have a slower new car than a faster new model. @Toyota 😏
They also show worse and worse the sound of the car gets over time. These useless regulations are killing these cars...
Me: drives a car from 1999 Him: *calls g wagon from 2013 old*🥴
W A says the interior is bad.... oh.... I liked it
2004 😃
That 2013 version is old because its generation started in 1990 and lasted till 2018. The newer generation with major changes (to the platform) came almost after 30 years!
2002 Honda! 🤣

Amazing how quick they are really seeing as they have the aerodynamics of a house brick
MEGATRON false. On every automotive level.
MEGATRON more like 50 mph.
@MEGATRON 😂😂😂😂😂 Got any other "facts" to pull out of your arse.
That guy isnt that wrong. The effect of aerodynamics increases exponentially it doesnt matter at all at low speeds and becomes very important at higher speeds. You really dont feel it much before 80 mph although its there of course but pretty weak. You start feeling it at line 60 and it becomes bad from 90 and horrible at like 120.
@@timonxDlol my car accelerates significantly slower after about 40mph than from a dead start. I know it's a big problem for cars that don't have much power but the acceleration after 80mph is nearly non existent but it launches pretty hard from dead start. So yeah I'd say aerodynamics play a role even at lower speeds
Last time I was this early Yianni won a race.
Ouch!
That was a looong time ago
@@carwow please x4m/x3m competition vs glc63 vs Alfa Stelvio drag race 😭😭😭
No need to bother voting.new one is best 😂😂😂😂
Yaaaaa violation
6:18 editing genius
7:04 is that pablo escobar ?😂
Yes.
Quick glance yes but.. not really looking at the shot which was probably taken at the test yard🤔
Leave the likes how they are 👍 *69*
@@tobiast471 Uhm....
I like the old G63. Looks amazing with the famous mean look. They've taken that, made the performance much better with the new one but made it look soft.
Agreed. I own the 2018 amg63 and prefer its appearance. Having said this, i wish i had all the technology of the new versions, but you can' have everything unless you own both.
5:41 a civic owner talking randomly
Omg is it just me but I'm laughing so hard at 5:29. Whoever edited that has perfect comedic timing
Exterior: I think I prefer the old one's front, ever so slightly. Interior: new one by miles. Good to see the stuck-on-iPad thing is starting to go away.
Agree, they softened the new one too much for my liking. The old one looks a bit more, brutish?
@@yellowwducky The old one would look way more intimidating in your rear view mirror.
Now the stuck-on-iPad is becoming a built-in widescreen TV

I would like that new one more if it was a similar spec to the old one.
4:57 "this is just for your entertainment... and mine" I'm dying 😂😂
We need more videos like this
Speed aside, the previous generation look more like it’s just turned up outside your house full of cartel members Which is exactly the way it should be 😂 The new one looks soft
Pheasant Pluckers son probably cuz the older one in this video is black, which makes it look like a cartel-mobile, whereas the new one is red. That makes it look soft. Trust me, red makes either version look soft, and black makes either version look badass
Viper TheLegend it’s not just about the colour the old one was more square which gives it more road presence
Yeah the new one looks soft and polite while the older gen just looks plain badass. Older gen forever✌
Old g wagon❤️
Facts
13:25 that tree is so perfectly framed that for a second I thought the view was shopped in!
احل
Right outside of the window?
"That's my car"......that Mercedes have lent me for nothing for 6 months.
Ahah yes. I was surprised when he said it was his car. No offense but he looks like a prius guy.
3:54 the spare wheel on the new G is cap-less and right after that the cap appears...weird.
Haha true
7:20 you can see the threads on the front right tire.
8:00 No cap again
That face tho 😂 😂
yeah that's really weird, they should really release uncut versions of it alongside the main video itself as a seperate video just to c reate a sense of credibility which isn't there right now
6:55 this gives me Top Gear vibes ( Clarkson )
yes ,the maneuvering around the cones is a must be in each cars comparison
I think it's the filter applied to that section of video as well. Old Too gear would add a blue tint to their video...it all adds to the 'vibe'
YES!!
The filter And his jacket
Grn seni
3:06 That Launch on the 2019 G63 is Beautiful
The old is such a legend and looks so so sinister. Absolutely love it! Although the new is a better truck in all terms.
Year late here but I agree. I think the headlights on the new one look a bit too cute.
It’s an SUV not a truck
@@kota4802 Ok, very nearly a truck.
@@kota4802 It sits on a ladder frame, literally a truck.
Old one has a solid front axle so its going to be better off road - so the new isn’t better ALL respects
Drag race during the week!!! I thought Christmas was only Dec 25
Great channel its achieved so much in the last couple of years
9:10 those new LED headlights make it look like the car is shocked at how you're treating it... haha!
3:54 - 3:58 wheel cap at the back is missing and then suddenly it is there on the Red G63
😨
The evolution of technology is just so amazing. This video is an example. Btw I'm a huge fan of G wagon. Thanku carwow and expect more comparisons like this.
9:54 is it just me or does the new g63 look like it has cute puppy eyes and the old one a big dog?
TheBloodMango haha shit man that got me so bad
You're so right :'D The new one actually looks "cute" 😄
looks more like my cat’s eyes lol
"Oh ah" Just a little bit "Oh ah" A little bit more 😂
Thank you so much for always also including the sound comparison between the generations and actually explaining what these newly added filters are for! One might think they are just there to piss people off, but while i also think that more often than not the older cars sound a little better, the new exhaust filtering systems do a very important job and are therefore definitely not unnecessary!
7:02 u even got a picture of Escobar driving it :O
😂
Is that actually escobar? Doesnt look like him
@@FriendlyNeighbourhoodSpidey not him
His face makes me like... *Top 10 warnings the world ignored*
Big fan of this channel ❤️
Great
@@MRQ. hehehe
The editor does a GREAT job! I love the little popups and cutscenes
Old g wagon with new interior would be beautiful 🔥🔥🔥
Yeah but impossible, new one is taller, wider, longer, it's interior would never fit in the old ones shell
Exactly
I bet someone will do a conversion one day
Yea@aa!!
@@verliebt3465 @Sinasmotor
7:02 it’s that Pablo Escobar??
No
@khairulhaziq Possibly Chapo Guzman
Close enough
Chapo Guzman
DaT GuY It’s not
Already know the video is going to be ♥️♥️♥️🔥🔥
13:44 the doors sound just killed the mic 😂😂
“Steering is connected to the front wheels, which is good”👌
Next comparison: 2 L 4 cylinder vs old 4.0 L V8
It wouldn't even be so terrible, if only it sounded like the first-gen A45. Now it's just become a vacuum cleaner
@@waverleyjournalise5757 The retarded EU emissions are at fault. The next c63 amg will be a 4 cylinder, apparently...
Then in the future, G63 will now be 3.0l V6tt 600hp 850nm then 2.0l V4tt 700hp 900nm. Engines are becoming smaller and smaller but stronger and stronger. Emission standards are nuts though, they care about fuel economy and emission but not durability and reliability.
@@teslaboi1822 it will be electric 😆
@@teslaboi1822 have never seen a v4 in modern cars
Stunning cars. Great review mat
7:02 Ma boy Pablo in the G wagon
The best comparison video I have ever seen, and I like your accent!
I still prefer the old look. And would have liked to see the 65 in this comparison.
Bill Dexhart pretty sure the 65 wasn’t for sale in the UK?
What?
@@migracing8232 he would have wanted the old G65, the V12 G wagen along with the two 2 G63s they brought.
did the g63 ever come with the 6.2L v8 if so i would like to see it along side.
65 is too heavy because of the v12. Very slow.
I have both. Amazing. Love taking them to the mall, Starbucks, riding in the left lane holding up traffic.
I love your videos looking forward to more!!!
I wish I had a g wagon I'd take the old one with open arms
2:20 is my Heartbeat I love it .. Old is gold
I love this channel great.
You have to love the random videos Mat does!😸😸
For this reason Carwow is for me one of the best automotive channels, it would be good to see comparisons between generations in others as well, in fact this should be a rule because then we would know if the car has evolved or not!
Mat's new G63 is so nice in this red! Of course the previous gen is still amazing!

5.28 hahahaha Matt is such a legend. And the folks who edited this.
Next Suzuki jimmy vs Porsche gt2rs
not going to be fair for the GT2 RS, but at least we can see how much slower it is
Lmao
Jimny vs GT2 offroad
You're comparing apple to cocaine. What's not to like. Switch them up! Jimny on the tarmac and GT2RS on the grass.
Riiiisc remember jimmy power
15:51 that G definitely need a proper wash haha Love the Channel ❤️
I really like that they are comparing comfort and sport driving modes. These are fun videos. Now what I recommend is listing braking distances... yes, actually measuring them.
Is it better to do a launch with traction control or esp enabled or disabled..i know that when you have it on it eliminates spin but i dont mnow if it is a faster way to launch
You should do slalom tests more often on cars. 😁
Next video should be "MK4 Supra vs MK5 Supra" Nice 👍
I’m loving this new G wagon !
I own the 16’ g63. Biggest reasons why I don’t get the new one is because I enjoy the rough ride, same intervals as the old old ones and the retro look. But the rough ride is my favorite. Just so much character. Great vid btw! Cheers!
Look how much more the new one is leaning back under acceleration 😂
😂I saw it as well
Almost feels like they're on different drive modes lol. The difference is way too much.
Ready for take off I reckon
And how much the old one's leaning to the side.
Boats on wheels
Mercedes: Nobody is upgrading from older G Carwow: Say no more
ROFL
😂😂😂
Handling tests should be a part of every drag race video
Nobody: Matt: I'm *SAT*
The way it lifts it whole front is just hilarious
You know you’re early When you can change the poll %100 :D
Mat is funny as hell broooo😂😂😂😂😂
3:04 you actually start the race, thank me later. 👍🏻
@Catzize Gamer For saving 3:03 of yt-timewaste
Catzize Gamer for saving for time 😤
"Side skirts" Taps the fenders
@MrAbletospeak fenders are also what Americans call wheelarches
Matt Steele doesn’t mean that’s what they are called though.
@@Jabber-ig3iw is it not equivalent to hood/bonnet then?
@@ccalvinn exactly 👍
@@Jabber-ig3iw i call them wheel arches and some call them fenders, not sure of any other names for them
I remember when the 63 variants of Mercedes were actually 6.3 liters. Idk why they still call it a 63 when it’s actually a 40
Marketing
Mr. Sir01 IKR my w204 or any w204 c63 will never be topped
jagpreet keerit yeah especially if you tune them. No 40 is gonna beat that lol
xellossaxon you will go pale when one with a Whipple supercharger pulls up though lol. But yeah stock you don’t gotta worry
xellossaxon it already has an add on. (Twin turbos). Let’s see it beat a 6.3 without the turbos
Great Video as per usual, only grind with the new G is the cheap window switches off the new A- class
The old G wagon is SO much nicer
The older model looks more rugged and so much cooler.
Maybe so, but it’s a shit car in comparison
@@heinman6250 ok
@@heinman6250 I agree it's worse in every way possible other than looks. The new model is too rounded on the edges.
Maybe if they sold a more utilitarian spec for a mild amount instead they sell a bimbo throphy wife mobile
@@SpartanHighKing14 Solid front axle will make the old a better (and more durable) off roader
5:42 the grand tour reference? You know, evil Vs good
no the red paint was a Gundam reference
Its actually Warhammer 40 reference...
Having watched only the introduction, I reckon drag race is down to gearboxes. Better and more ratios in the newer lets the car exploit powerband better me thinks. Faster shifts as well probably. Also, what ever happens would prefer the "old" one.
that bodyroll tho😂👌
4:01 looool notice how the car was tilted to one side
Mat, more like *fat*.
It’s been a while since I’ve watched a carwow review but Matt seems a lot more excited and lively in this review. Nice purchase Matt.
He didn't buy it. It's a long term loaner press car from Mercedes.
It’s not his car mate even tho he keeps saying it is lol. It’s just a loaner from merc
@Ahmed Tupajic After all the weird things he has done to the car? No chance he would. Again, it's not his car. He didn't lease, finance, nor pay cash for the car. Neither did Carwow. It's a loaner from Mercedes.
Ahmed Tupajic he ain’t buying shit. They’ll just get a new press car
OH BOY A 16 MINUTE VID BY CARWOW😱😱
Love your test lovely can you do the same with new s class and all one like 2009 v 2016 we’re being loved that ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️ you have beautiful car excellent choice well done love your Chanel

I like the look the old one tbh
me too👍
i like look of The old One.... love the AMG Horizontal Strip Grill.
Older one looks way more mean and aggressive.
@@TheIceMurder2 that's the reason i like old G & old C63 AMG Coupe

The old G looks ganstaaa☠🔥☠
I love how at 4:17 it looks like the new one is straight up just sliding across the ground
Lovely video my favourite
This is the most biased comparison cuz Matt owns one of them 😂😂
He owns neither of them. It'd a Mercedes loaner. He's a psycho for saying it's his. Pathetic really.
sakimano he did say it’s a “long termer,” but you’d have to be listening carefully and many don’t know what that means. He’s clearly a bit insecure.
Paulie Gualtieri chill dude ure overexeggerating. And in almost any test he prefers whatever the Mercedes is compared to. The g63 is absolutely fucking awesome so i can understand him there although the red is terrible
It's MaT with a single 'T'!
@@sakimano couldnt not agree more👍 People, especially quite young ones, have expensive cars, pretend that they own them, which most of them dont. As a car collector, I have bought and paid, for all of my cars n bikes, but have them just for my own joy, and not at all, for showing of, I hardly ever uses them, my daily is a 2013 Transit Connect, I've hade it for 8 years and its very good car😀😀, cheers from Norway.
no-one: CC: 3:19 "BURGER GOLF"
One of the old G63s passed me on the M25 a couple of years ago doing about 100 mph. I heard it coming about half a mile away. It's the best sounding car I ever heard
Forced slalom test apart... Thats a comparison that I wanted to see many time ago. Thank you for the content.
8:18 expect a new skoda scala review
I’d take the ‘old’ one (the one with a high tech infotainment) that has solid axles. Everything with independent front suspension are mall cars. Its a G! Solid axels ftw!!
ButchE30M3S14 however, there were many quality issues with the old g that the new one resolved. Such as u could see screws and bolts on the turn indicators and the reflection on the windows was a pain in the ass while driving. Interior quality was also cheap. New one is better imo
The old G was tremendously bad to drive. You're nuts.
@@exnihilonihilfit6316 because it was built around off roading
