However, there are some updates to the current model, which is what we will focus on. The V8 engine in the previous model is gone, but there are new power and tech upgrades. Despite the exterior changes being minor, you may notice the new paint and wheel options along with a slightly more aerodynamic grille, A-pillars, and body bits.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a carryover model from the redesigned version released in 2019. Mercedes launched a limited-production Stronger Than Diamonds Edition of the G-Class for Valentine's Day 2024. Only 300 units will be sold worldwide, making it quite rare. All units come with rose gold paint, unique door-sill plates with the Stronger Than Diamonds slogan, and 0.25-carat diamonds in the door lock pins. A refreshed G-Class with more aerodynamic styling and new powertrain choices is scheduled for 2025 to coincide with the arrival of the new EQG G-Class EV. Mercedes-Benz hasn't yet revealed any specifics, but more efficient powertrains including a hybrid are possible.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G-Class will be more aerodynamic. Although it won't be as curvy as the EQS SUV, it will have subtle styling revisions to help it cut through the air more easily. These changes will also be shared with the yet-to-be-released electric version of the G-Class. The grille, front bumper, and A-pillars have all been reshaped, and a little spoiler on the roof's leading edge helps direct air up and over the SUV. The most significant change is under the hood, where the V-8 engine in the 2024 model has been replaced by a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline six with a 48-volt hybrid system. The horsepower has increased to 443, but torque has decreased slightly. However, acceleration performance should be similar. The MBUX infotainment interface will be on the dashboard of the new G-Class.
The 2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class comes with a standard 9.5 inches of ground clearance, a new Off Road Cockpit, and a transparent hood function. New driver assistance systems and parking aids are also available. The G63 model can be equipped with AMG Active Ride control with hydraulic stabilization.
The updated software provides more connectivity, including an optional rear-seat entertainment system with two 11.6-inch displays that can stream video or browse the web. There is also a new 360-degree camera system that enables the driver to see what's beneath the G-Class. Additionally, more personalization options have been added to the Manufaktur program, and an adaptive cruise control system with a lane-centering feature is now available.
