If the angles of entry, exit and ramp remained practically unchanged, then the angle of transverse tipping is increased by 7 degrees, up to 35 degrees, and ground clearance it grew by 6 mm, up to 24.1 cm. The drama and sadness is that the potential Russian audience will be interested in these wonderful circumstances a little less than the weather on the moon. Gadget lovers, who firmly believe in the help of electronic forces, will be pleased to know that when one of the locks is activated or a downshift is engaged, off-road mode (G-Mode) is automatically activated in the Dynamic Select driving mode selection system. I wonder how his algorithms will help in overcoming different types cover, say, snow and sand?
Now with independent suspension
The section of the chassis in the anatomy of the G-class engineers rewrote, albeit not completely. Well, to be expected, because the chassis of the past SUV with axle beams turned it into a weapon of mass destruction. Manageability had to be improved, and dramatically! frame construction, of course, has been preserved, the bridge beam has survived the change of generations - it has four levers, a Panhard rod and modified attachment points for elastic and damping elements. Front suspension - and this is the main thing! - henceforth is independent scheme on double wishbones.
The world premiere of the new Gelik took place at the start of the motor show in Detroit. And (as promised by the manufacturer) all data about the updated Mercedes-Benz G-Class presented to the public: photos, videos, specifications and even a photo of the skeleton of the body and chassis. Suddenly someone needs it. So we meet - the largest update and modernization of the car for a very considerable 40 years of the model's life.
Exterior
Whoever finds 10 differences between the old Gelendvagen and the new one is a plus in karma. With the declared “completely new G-Class”, it is difficult to determine exactly what is new in appearance. At the same time, the manufacturer made an elegant nod to his fans - and character traits the car was left as is — but on purpose, they say it was intended.
So, such forms and transitions recognizable in any country of the world remained specially-old-square. Door handles with a large round handle familiar to the touch remained in their old places, turn signal repeaters remained on the wings. And even (attention!) left the "characteristic sound of closing doors." Yes, they deliberately left the sound of clanging iron on iron. No comments.
What is new anyway? The main thing that still catches your eye is the updated “inside” of the head optics and a slightly different design rear lights. At the same time, everything is in its “regular-old” places and in the same circle and rectangle shapes, respectively.
And the rest ... Gelik used to be almost the record holder in the number of various modifications from various tuning studios, so to one degree or another, different bumpers and side elements definitely won't surprise anyone. And this is where the exterior design point ends.
Specifications
The main thing where the new Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2019 is really new is the filling. And the interior, but about it separately. The updated Gelik has become both bigger and lighter at the same time - like a true athlete, in which there is practically no heavy fat. And in the frame big SUV there was correspondingly less iron in favor of light and durable aluminum. From it are made not only individual elements frames, and body parts - doors, hood, fenders. The total curb weight has been reduced by an impressive 170 kilograms - but even so, the total weight is 2.4 tons. At the same time, the no less well-known part of the design (door hinges) also remained visually the same - but adjusted for the new design.
A few numbers: thanks to the combination of high-strength steels and winged metal, the torsional rigidity of the body has increased by an impressive 55% - from 6537 to 10,162 Nm / deg.
At the same time, of course, his main life goal did not suffer - to go where others would not reach:
- traditional ladder frame;
- ahead now - independent suspension on double wishbones, which are attached to the frame immediately, without an additional subframe;
- behind - a familiar continuous bridge, but from now on - with a Panhard rod and four trailing arms to each wheel.
Another set of possibly useful numbers:
- approach angle — 31° (+1°)
- Departure angle - 30° (+1°)
- ramp angle - 26° (+1°)
- roll stability - 35° (+7°)
And much more understandable numbers of useful cross-country ability: 700 mm of fording depth (+100 mm), ability to overcome 100% rise (i.e. 45 °), ground clearance - 241 mm (+6 mm). There are still locks in the arsenal (a pair of interwheels and one interaxle), a lowering row. But the mechanics gave up a little to the electronics - instead of the previous hydraulic and vacuum interlocks new Gelendvagen equipped with electronically controlled multi-plate clutches.
At all electronic stuffing has become much more: the inclusion of the maximum off-road G-Mode(no, not God mode, but close) by locking at least one differential and activating a lowerer turns off-road into easy off-road. Electronics controls the response to the accelerator, settings adaptive dampers(new) and steering (instead of "hydrach" now electromechanical transmission of force), holds one gear more confidently and longer and in general (according to the creators) allows you to get even more buzz from driving. The rest of the operating modes are more boring in this regard - what's new in the standard ones even for the Comfort, Sport, Individual and Eco crossovers? In all cases, electronics interfere with the operation of the suspension, powertrain, steering effort and security systems.
Power units
The motor of the new Gelika is old, the box is new. So far, only one engine has been presented - a 422-horsepower 4-liter twin-turbo V8 with a maximum of 610 Nm of torque. This new modification G500. About extension motor range it is - but later.
There is less information about the box - the 2019 G-Class will now be offered with a new 9G TRONIC automatic 9-mortar. They say it will be nice, soft and imperceptible.
Interior
But back to the innovations - and if outwardly Gelik has not changed, but structurally - it is simply not visible, then just the interior is visible - and new. Slightly increased dimensions (+53 mm in length and +121 mm in width) had a positive effect on the interior space:
- in the elbows it became wider by 68 and 56 mm (first and second row);
- in the shoulders - by 38 and 27 mm (front and back);
- in the legs - by 38 and 150 mm (ibid.)
And we repeat: Gelik's salon is new. At all. The only thing that refers to the "old" is the handle in front of the front passenger. This list of "remaining" can be completed. The newest and largest is a single screen, separated by its functional areas: 12.3″ screens in the format of a multimedia head unit and another 12.3″ in the dashboard format. Both screens can be customized, there are three options for displaying information: Classic, Sport and Progressive. However, let's make a reservation: a pair of large displays is the prerogative of flagship modifications and it is not a fact that they will also be in more modest configurations.
Buyers will be offered several options for interior trim (leather of different grades and colors, inserts made of carbon, wood or metal), plus 64 color options for backlight. The list of equipment also includes: wireless charging for a smartphone, a sunroof, seats with electric adjustments, heating, memory and a massage function.
Not much to say about the chairs themselves. Of course, they are comfortable and “correct” - but as an option, you can buy active multi-circuit chairs with ventilation and massage, approved by the German medical organization AGR (Aktion Gesunder Rücken e.V.), which deals with human back health.
Price
The start of sales of the new Gelika in Europe is May of this year, the starting price is 107,040 euros (approximately 7.3 million rubles at the exchange rate). However, despite the given price list at the exchange rate, the price of the new Gelendvagen in Russia will be much higher: the minimum 8.95 million rubles have been announced - against the previous 8.38 million for the previous generation. In particular, we are talking about a comparison of the announced modification of the G500: with a 422-horsepower biturbo "eight", which, complete with a 9-speed "automatic", allows you to reach hundreds in 5.9 seconds, and the maximum rests on 210 km / h.

Demonstration photos of the manufacturer
Among the most expensive and famous SUVs, the 2017 Mercedes Gelendvagen should be highlighted, the new model (photo, price) is still at the testing stage, as evidenced by spy photos. It is worth considering about new model developers talk just like a new car. By official information the W463 index will remain, as it has been used for the past few years. Today you can buy an SUV in only one configuration at a price of 11,600,000 rubles. The Brabus version will cost an order of magnitude more expensive. Consider the features of the upcoming changes and the current proposal in more detail.

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.
- will remain high quality maneuverability over difficult terrain. So the car will be able to overcome the ford with a depth of 600 millimeters.
- The front suspension will become multi-link, which will significantly increase the comfort in the cabin. Besides hydraulic booster replaced with an electric one.
- 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 ground clearance will remain the same, a version of the car with pneumatics will probably be available, due to which it will be possible to adjust the ground clearance.
- The optics will finally become modern, and the dashboard will be replaced with a display.
- On-board display multimedia system will be 10 inches.
- The tunnel between the two front seats will make it more comfortable.
- Completely change the front panel.
- Install a more modern parking sensors, strengthen Windshield.
In general, we can say that the changes will be significant, primarily touching the interior and technical equipment. The company took the path of testing new technologies for 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, an option will appear panoramic roof.
- 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.
Options and prices Mercedes Gelendvagen 2017 in a new body
Not many people can afford the Mercedes Gelendvagen 2017, since it estimated cost will be more than 11,000,000 rubles. Such a high cost determines what this car indicates high status its owner. More recently, the SUV has undergone minor restyling, due to which the interior has become more comfortable.
The equipment currently available in the AMG version is called 7G-Tronic. Note that this basic version, for many add-ons you will have to pay extra, and their cost is significant. The package includes the following options:
Considering how much the new Gelendvagen costs in rubles 2017, one should expect an amount of at least 12,000,000 rubles for the base. Enough interesting point let's say that the new generation will be immediately delivered to Russia, the USA and China, and only after a while the model will be available in other countries.
The 2019 Mercedes Gelendvagen is an SUV loved by many. To some, he will seem too boring and gloomy, while others see in him classic restraint and power. But the main difference of the car is precisely that the model has excellent power parameters. That is why on Russian market it is especially popular among residents of remote areas.
Mercedes Gelendvagen 2019 is often called a brutal car that is absolutely not suitable for girls. But recently, the fair sex can increasingly be seen driving a car. Changes in appearance made the model more representative. If earlier it was a completely militaristic style, now the model can be called a fashion model, with which you can emphasize your special status.
Updates concern both external and internal parts. But if, when thinking over the design of the case, the manufacturer pays more attention to the appearance itself, then in the cabin the main emphasis is on functionality, so that all modern features and innovations that provide a comfortable and safe ride are taken into account.
Exterior
The 2019 Mercedes Gelendvagen is a brutally restrained car. These off-road vehicles at one time were used only for transporting the military, trips to hard-to-reach areas. Now they are increasingly seen in cities.
Generation modern cars differs primarily in functionality, although certain categories of machines also have a memorable original design. Here, everything is extremely simple.
New Mercedes (Class G) latest model made taking into account the general concept model range. The manufacturer remained true to the general style. But at the same time, the style became a little less militaristic. Now it's just a representative car, which lacks any additional elements decor. Simple understated elegance is what distinguishes these machines from the crowd.
The color of Gelendvagen black has already become a real classic. Although there are other colors. There are no decorations on the body, but in newer models there is an opportunity additional choice panoramic roof.
The front end is very impressive, has additional protection. Wheels and disks are made of reliable material, large-sized.
Interior
The new model has many additional modifications that helped make the car not only more attractive inside, but also more reliable and safe.
In the new Gelika, interior photos can be taken from any angle, thanks to wider windows, the choice of a panoramic roof. The distinctiveness of the premium version immediately catches the eye. The leather interior fills the space with luxury.
The model has many improvements. First of all, it became more convenient dashboard. Now there is only the most necessary, but the functionality has been expanded. The steering wheel has become more convenient and miniature.
There is enough space in the back for three passengers. The seats are separated. They can be folded up if needed to increase the volume. luggage compartment.
The front seats have many tilt modes, adjustable in height. Additionally, you can equip them with a massager, ventilation. There are also many shelves, pockets in the cabin so that you can place the necessary things.
Options and prices
Many are often interested in the question of how much the Mercedes Gelendvagen 2019 costs model year. The reason for the increased interest is that different generations cars have a different cost, the range is large.
The average cost of a new generation model in Moscow is 8.6-9.5 million rubles. At the same time, it can reach 12-13 million if you additionally choose accessories to make the car more comfortable (improved interior trim material, additional airbags, more functional radio, ventilation and massage function for the first row seats, etc.).
Simply put, you first need to decide on a list of important options for yourself and then calculate the final cost of the car. In any case, buy a car with all necessary options much cheaper than equipping it separately afterwards.
If he talks about models of previous generations, then they can be purchased for 5.5-6 million rubles. But they are less functional.
At the same time, even basic models have necessary set functionality and accessories:
- air conditioner;
- multimedia;
- navigator;
- front seat heating system;
- parking assistant;
- Rain sensor.
The price in different cities of Russia may vary slightly. It all depends on the dealership. Often people, trying to save money, are looking for more budget options, but this is not entirely correct. The main reason why it is better to buy a car in a branded showroom is a guarantee that only original components are used. In addition, in this case, you can be completely sure of a cheap, quick repair if any problems arise.

- engine capacity up to 7.2 liters;
- engine power 422 horsepower;
- maximum possible speed 210 km/h;
- Gas engine;
- ground clearance 23.5 cm;
- it can accelerate to a speed of 100 km / h in 5.9 seconds;
- trunk volume 480 liters, subject to folded rear seats 2200 liters;
- 11.7 liters - average consumption fuel;
- four-wheel drive;
- 9-speed automatic transmission.
Depending on the selected version, the parameters may differ slightly, but in general, the characteristic does not change.
Mercedes G class 2019 is a time-tested and iconic model of the brand. The new generation of the SUV with the W464 index, presented at the beginning of 2018 at the Detroit Auto Show, retained the spirit of the original, remaining the same square. At the same time, the novelty moved to a completely new frame platform with an independent front suspension, grew in size, which added quite a lot. free space for car passengers, and also acquired a modern and stylish interior in the spirit of the E-Class and S-Class of the latest generations.
Exterior
Surprisingly, in last years the demand for the old Gelandewagen only grew - many were afraid that the SUV would lose its corporate angular appearance with the change of generation, but the company understood this very well, so they tried to preserve the recognizable design as much as possible.
For those who are not fans of the Mercedes G-Class, it will not be so easy to find differences from the previous generation model. Changes pull a maximum of restyling, although from old car only preserved here door handles, spare wheel cover and headlight washer nozzles - everything else is new.
The new Gelendvagen is still the same “cube” with characteristic round head optics, turn signals located at the level of the hood, wide moldings on the doors protruding outward wheel arches and door hinges, rounded glass and diagonal joints on the front fenders. Well, the task was completed! But the radiator grill with a different pattern has become wider, the shape and design of the bumpers has changed, the windshield has lost its archaic seal, the optics are now LED, the rear-view mirrors are larger, the gas tank cap has moved under the rear side glass, and the joints between the body panels are finally reduced and aligned as much as possible.
The novelty has grown in length by 101 mm to an impressive 4825 mm and has become wider by as much as 121 mm, showing a body width of 1931 mm. An increase in the external overall dimensions of the body is possible and not very noticeable from the outside, but it is clearly evident as soon as you get into the interior of a new SUV.
Interior
Generally salon Mercedes-Benz The third generation G-Class turned out to be not as brutal as its predecessor, it has become more refined and even sophisticated. Perhaps it was the fact that the interior design for the new Gelendvagen was created by a woman, a young designer from Bulgaria, Lilia Chernaeva.
In the cabin there is a corporate steering wheel, digital panel instruments, an advanced multimedia complex, a handrail on the front panel for the passenger, a wide armrest, a pair of cup holders on the central tunnel, massive armrests on the door cards, front seats with dynamic lateral support (electric drive, ventilation, massage and heating are optionally available), and the quality of the finishing materials. Only the front panel with the center console turned out to be somewhat straightforward, but this configuration made it possible to more conveniently arrange all the controls.
The only drawback is that after the generational change, the Mercedes G-class was never equipped with a handrail on the counter with driver's side and you have to climb into the new model the old fashioned way, grabbing the steering wheel rim. But the interior has clearly increased in width compared to its predecessor - the width at shoulder height has increased by 38 mm in the first row and by 27 mm in the second row, the width at the elbow level has increased by 68 mm in front and 56 mm in the rear. So now sitting in the cabin of the new Gelendvagen is much more convenient.
Electric drive button parking brake now located at the bottom of the front panel under the headlight control unit, and the automatic transmission control joystick on the steering column.
It is worth noting that two 12.3-inch color screens are available only in top-end versions; in the base, the SUV is equipped with an analog instrument panel and a smaller multimedia system screen.
Depending on the configuration, the SUV is equipped with two-zone or three-zone climate control, simple but comfortable front seats with electric drive adjustments or advanced multi-circuit, a platform for wireless charging smartphones, a standard 7-speaker audio system or Burmester's advanced 16-speaker premium audio system (available as an option), and huge selection finishing materials for interior personalization (aluminum, carbon fiber, precious woods, genuine leather, Alcantara, Nappa).
More space has also been allocated to second-row passengers, in addition, for greater comfort, the rear sofa was installed a little lower. The backs of the rear seats fold in a 40/60 ratio, which can be folded down to significantly increase the luggage compartment, which is already huge in an SUV. The tailgate is equipped with a contactless opening function, and as a bonus, there are a lot of pockets for storing small items.
Equipment G-class 2018
You can scroll through the menu of the instrument panel and multimedia system without taking your hands off the steering wheel: there are special touch zones on the spokes, like Range SUVs Rover.
cameras all-round view help not only to park in cramped conditions, but also to navigate rough terrain with difficult terrain.
From other Mercedes, the new Geländewagen borrowed the Dynamic Select function, which changes the chassis calibrations depending on which driving mode is selected - more comfortable, sporty or customizable.
Engines and gearboxes
From the start of sales, the new Gelendvagen will be available in only one version, this is the Mercedes-Benz G 500 with a gasoline 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine (422 hp 610 Nm) in the company with a new 9-speed automatic transmission gears (9G-Tronic). The fuel consumption declared by the manufacturer will be at least 11.7 liters of gasoline in the combined cycle.
The drive is full, with three differential locks. The distribution of traction between the front and rear wheels default 40 to 60 in favor rear axle. Downshift with gear ratio 2.93. There are also electronics that change the characteristics of the engine, gearbox, steering and suspension, depending on the selected mode: Comfort, Sport, Eco, Individual or G-Mode (off-road mode).
By early 2019 Mercedes company promises to offer customers a wider range of gasoline and diesel engines V6 and V8 for the new generation Gelendvagen.
Platform and suspension
The new Gelendvagen is built on a newly created ladder-type frame with a fully independent double wishbone front suspension (attached directly to the frame, without a subframe). A reinforced continuous axle is installed at the back, attached to the frame with four trailing arms and a Panhard rod. Spring suspension, front suspension with a compression of 8.5 cm and a rebound of 10 cm, rear compression of the suspension springs of 8.2 cm, and rebound as much as 14.2 cm. steering rack With electric amplifier, disc brakes of all wheels.
New body with steel frame and attachments made of aluminum (fenders, hood and doors) demonstrates excellent torsional rigidity characteristics - 10162 Nm / deg (for old model 6537 Nm/deg). High-strength steel and aluminum made it possible to reduce the curb weight of the new Gelendvagen by as much as 170 kg compared to the previous generation SUV, and this despite the increased dimensions body.
The minimum ground clearance has increased by 6 mm to 241 mm, the fording depth is 700 mm (+100 mm compared to its predecessor). The geometric cross-country ability of the body has increased, albeit not significantly, but still a nice bonus.
Approach angle -31 degrees, ramp angle - 26 degrees, departure angle - 30 degrees.
