Price and equipment Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2018
Despite major changes in technical terms, the price of new items has not increased significantly. If earlier for the old “Gelik” G 500 in Germany they asked for 106,700 euros, then for a new one you need to pay 107,400 euros. That is, cheaper versions of an SUV with a 6-cylinder 2.9-liter diesel engine will cost about 80 thousand euros.

Specifications
So far, there is relatively little official information about the new generation. Expect changes like this:
- The SUV will be available with both petrol and diesel powertrains. In this case, their volume will be equal to three liters.
- The gasoline engine can be developed up to 360 hp, diesel 300 hp. According to the engineers, the data power units will be completely new, improvements were also aimed at reducing fuel consumption.

- The kit will include a 10-speed automatic transmission, which will better cope with the power distribution of the new engines.
- In order to make the car look even more aggressive, most likely front bumper will have a massive air intake.
- Under the headlights, there should be ribbons of diodes that will perform the function of daylight.
- The design of the side rear-view mirrors should acquire diode turn signal repeaters.
- The database will install alloy wheels size R18, but it will be possible to order a larger size as an option.

The company has taken the path of testing new technologies on less expensive models, after which it is expected that half of the equipment of the S-Class will be transferred to this car.
Exterior
On the Internet, you can still find spy photos of a car in protective camouflage. But the following conclusions can already be drawn from them:
- The silhouette will remain virtually unchanged.
- The head optics will have a round shape, rear lights small sizes.
- square glass, spare wheel and many other elements will remain in place.
Mercedes is likely to leave appearance vehicle unchanged. This is due to the fact that despite the outdated design by modern standards, the model is very popular. That is why fundamental changes should not be expected.
Interior Mercedes Gelandewagen 2017
Even less information is known about the interior than about the exterior. Knowing what technologies will be installed, we should expect that the interior will be decorated in a similar way to the S-Class. There may be minor changes. We highlight the following points:
- The instrument panel will become a display that is already being installed on manufactured Mercedes vehicles.
- The tunnel between the seats will be completely redone. It should be expected that a multimedia system control unit in the form of a multifunctional joystick and other elements will appear on it.
- The interior will be trimmed with exceptionally high-quality leather, a panoramic roof option will appear.
- The large size of the display of the multimedia system determines that it will most likely be built into the front panel.
- Seats should not be inferior in comfort to those that are installed on expensive versions Mercedes.
Other improvements can be of a very different nature.

Path of the illustrious ramnik
Career car G-Class started in 1979, when it was still used for militaristic purposes. Since then, the Mercedes SUV has left its military class to a greater extent and switched to civilian service, gradually moving into the premium segment.
At all stages of the life cycle, engineers have kept the maximum off-road potential for the Gelandewagen. This is one of the components of the line's success.
Gelendvagen is involved in 40 armies of the world, and is also used for militaristic purposes in Russia.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class is the most popular military vehicle
The world circulation of cars of this rather exotic car is more than 200 thousand copies. The name itself this class came from the first letter of the German word "geländewagen", which means "off-road vehicle".
"Gelik" is the oldest civilian brand produced by the German concern. Even the Pope in the 1980s drove a Mercedes G-class specially made for him.

Appearance
Camouflage photos have long appeared on the Internet, where you can see the new Mercedes, its dimensions, coherence and harmony. Leaks show trends that will persist in further variations. A presentation was recently held in Stuttgart, where the advantages of the new product were described.
The car of the 2018 model remains true to the cubic forms, smooth lines of the image and the most possible flat planes in appearance. Designers maintain a recognizable style for the 2018 Mercedes
The date of the presentation of the new generation of brutal Mercedes G class— January 2018. Venue: Detroit Auto Show.
In a strict appearance, the roots of an army bearing are recognizable. The format of the car contrasts sharply with the most streamlined urban crossovers, demonstrating an exclusively masculine German character. At the same time, the proportions of the frame make it both elegant and harmonious.
From the front, the car demonstrates confidence due to such elements:
- powerful head bi-xenon optics, under which there are narrow DRL eyeliners;
- large horizontal lamellas of the false radiator grille, on top of which the company badge is fixed;
- protruding front bumper with built-in foglights;
- turn signals in their traditional place - on top of the headlights, which is why the hood is narrowed as usual.
In profile, the fender liner still protrudes from the arched space, but to a lesser extent. The car is visually slightly assembled into a single downed body. The doors were high and open well. A protective threshold is mounted along them below, preventing this area from minor damage gravel or other hard particles on the road.
The car is undoubtedly powerful, solid, assembled - but the price, frankly, upsets. 20 million in the basic configuration!
For the body left the traditional five-door design. He is still placed on supporting frame. As in all classical off-road models the bridges of the new Mercedes are continuous.
Aerodynamic characteristics according to the manufacturer have improved. This quality will positively affect fuel consumption. The main work to bring this indicator to optimal values was carried out with the lower part of the car (underbody).
From the back, the fifth door also opens in a hinged form. The designers did not compromise with her either, outweighing the hinges for opening up. Small-sized "feet" are scattered around the edges. Full size spare hiding on the door to enlarge useful place in the cabin. Entrance to luggage compartment became wider.
Rear pipes did not appear exhaust system. They are displayed in the rear left wheel area.
Fans of the G-class see in some details the "legend"'s growing departure from its military past. Gelandewagen gradually moves into the category with each restyling civil vehicles with a beautiful history.
The interior space is devoid of aggressive chopped lines. The spirit of former premium models reigns here.
Driver available stylish steering wheel with four spokes. It is endowed with multifunctionality, thanks to the presence of a set of touch buttons on the right and left sides. Finishing it is made with several grades of high-quality leather.
The dashboard certainly contains basic version classic analog instruments. However, in premium build it can be equipped with a full-fledged liquid crystal display.
Dashboard of one of the Gelika versions in 2018
The center console has been redesigned as much as possible during restyling. Its architecture will noticeably be updated in new models. The old multimedia monitor will be a thing of the past, and a 12.3-inch display will arrive to replace it. With the front panel, it forms a single complex.
The feature of the novelty is the transition of the control lever speed modes from the central part to the steering column area. This move frees up a lot of space between driver and passenger. The number of keys on the console will decrease, which will allow you to deal with them faster. The deflectors look very stylish. Traditionally, analog watches remained as a reminder of the history of the car.
Comfortable chairs are endowed with a lot of positive parameters:
- several types of settings are used with the help of electric motors;
- high degree ergonomics does not allow you to get tired quickly;
- excellent side support rollers are installed;
- several levels of heating;
- ability to remember installed settings for drivers.
The abundance of options for the car is not surprising, because its price tag starts at 200 thousand dollars.
Passable qualities remain at the highest level - there are practically no impassable sections for the Gelendvagen.
Luxurious materials are used for interior decoration:
- 11 grades of premium leather;
- 3 types of wood;
- quality carbon.
There is enough space for three passengers in the rear on all sides. Adults can easily fit there, which is facilitated by the height of the roof and excellent parameters wheelbase.
The luggage area holds 480 liters of cargo. The 40:60 split folding sofa significantly increases the capacity for cargo transportation from 2250 liters of space. The disadvantage is the impossibility of obtaining a flat platform after laying the chairs.
Used in the body a large number of aluminum elements. This will have a positive effect on consumption, because the weight will decrease.
Specifications
In the engine compartment, motorists will be able to find one of several powerful motors:
- three-liter BlueTEC gasoline unit with 245 hp with a torque of 600 Nm, its acceleration to hundreds takes 8.3 s;
- a four-liter bi-turbo engine is capable of generating 422 “stallions”, and at the peak it produces 610 Nm of torque, acceleration to 100 km / h takes 5.9 s;
