2017 Mercedes-Benz G Class Preview

The G-Class is famous for being the original luxury, off-road SUV. Its durability is that of legendary status, whether it is venturing in the safari, in arctic tundra, or being used as a military vehicle. Like a fine wine, the G-Class only continues to get better with age. The 2017 model continues to get better as it sees a technological overhaul.

The G Wagon's infotainment system features an 8 inch display screen, Apprle CarPlay and Android Auto smartphone integration, a wi-fi hotspot, and real time traffic reports. Additional connectivity options include a SIM card reader as well as USB/Ipod docks. The G Class has an emergency call system fitted as standard, which automatically contacts someone at one of the automaker’s emergency response centers in the case of an accident. If severe enough, key information such as the GPS position, direction of travel and time of the accident can be sent to emergency services.

Among other interior updates, the G-Class includes a new anthracite trim and a new lightweight wheel with a matte black finish. Whether offroading or commercial applications, it is designed to do it all.

No changes have been made to the power. It is still the same old 416 Horsepower V-8 engine. If you really want to upgrade, though, the AMG G63 and G65 go up to 563 HP V-8 engine and 621 HP V-12 engine. Needless to say, we are excited to test drive the G-Wagon when it gets released.
