The classic Mercedes-Benz
G-Class has had an update for 2016. Big Motoring World reviews its modernisation which
raises the benchmark for four-wheel drive luxury.
Rebirth
The remarkable off-roader was initially released in 1972,
and the 2016 version maintains the lines whilst dramatically overhauling the
interior and engine. The G500 houses an eight-cylinder engine similar to the
Mercedes AMG V8 engine, bringing it directly up to speed for the 21st
century.
For 2016, the engine has two turbochargers housed between
the cylinder banks. This means a compact design with optimal response. It
delivers 422 horsepower and is equipped with ECO stop-start function which
helps to reduce fuel consumption and emissions. The entire package complies
with the latest Euro 6 emission standards, managing an impressive 0 to 100 km/h
in 5.9 seconds.
Luxury feel
The suspension has had a rework with improved shock
absorbers, helping the luxury lifestyle to prevail in the cabin. And whilst
we’re on that subject, the whole interior of the G500 has been furnished with a
contemporary 11.4cm multifunctional display and redesigned buttons and dials.
The improved G-Class will be available to order by the end of this year.
