2023 Mercedes G-Class Facelift, Spy Shot & Review

A facelift for the Mercedes G-Class is pending. A camouflaged model has now been spotted on test drives – a new 4×4 version also seems to be in the planning stage. We have pictures and information for you.

We probably didn’t expect to see the Mercedes-AMG G-Class 4×4 so quickly. Mercedes does not shy away from equipping the rustic off-road vehicle classic with a powerful AMG engine. In 2021, the powerful vehicle with all-wheel drive is to be launched as a 2022 model.

  • Mercedes G-class facelift sighted
  • 4.0-liter V-8 engine with 585 hp
  • 4×4 model in progress
  • Raised body
  • Roof rack and spare wheel
  • Rather minor design changes
  • Market launch expected for early summer 2022

Specifications and exterior design

First of all: The changes to the design of the G-Class will only be very minor. This is also confirmed by the new pictures that have appeared from the Mercedes off-road vehicle. The front and rear are camouflaged, but the headlights don’t seem to get an update and the grille will probably remain as it is – in any case, it will not be hidden.

But why should you change the look of a well-running model like the G-Class? After all, it is precisely the angular design that has been well received by interested customers for decades.

The G-Class stays true to its cornerstone, it’s practical. Therefore, the car certainly has a roof rack again and a spare wheel that is attached to the rear. In addition, the model comes with high ground clearance, the body is considerably increased. Here you could already find references to a new 4 × 4 square version that should be planned for the G-Class.

Not only the higher undercarriage but also a ladder frame and a ladder on the back should be available for this model so that it is easier to access your luggage on the roof. A model for extreme outdoor travelers.

Engines and handling

So far we can only speculate about new engines. The facelift may switch to the 500 petrol engine from the current S-Class. That would then be an in-line six-cylinder with an additional electric motor. But don’t worry, for prestige reasons alone, the G63 model will certainly retain the V8 engine.

It is unlikely that a plug-in hybrid version will be introduced for the facelift. A fully electric G-Class, the Mercedes EQG, is planned for 2024, which would probably save you the work of a hybrid.

2023 Mercedes G-Class Prices and the start of sales

The market launch for the facelift and the presentation of the 4×4 model could take place in early summer 2022. It is not yet clear what prices will be called. The facelift will certainly cost a little more than the current model.

Toyota surprises with a radical change in brand strategy with this electric car

Image
Although  Toyota  has already opted for the  electric car , it is well known that its first steps in this field  have been a failure . Yes, they have the  Toyota bZ4X  in their catalog, but they didn’t get it right with its technology and it gives a  very fair range  despite its high price. We already know that they are preparing their  new generation of electric cars , but now they have begun to give more details about it and have shown us, for the first time, what will become a  rival to the MG 4 .  And also other models in the C segment such as the Renault Mégane E-Tech, the BYD Dolphin, or the Volkswagen ID.3. Toyota  is getting its act together, and never better said. A few weeks ago they showed us their next-generation batteries with  lower costs and better range , in addition to a very remarkable fast charging system. Just a few hours ago we learned that their solid electrolyte batteries are alm...

Toyota warns electric car price rise will continue until end of 2024

Image
In the last two years, the prices of cars have increased significantly and it is difficult to find affordable prices. Now, Toyota warns that the situation will continue for a while. The COVID-19 pandemic had very detrimental effects on the motor industry. The confinement and the successive slowdowns in the economy have directly affected the supply chain. Manufacturers have serious supply problems, including large corporations like Toyota.  In such a competitive market, it is very expensive to take the components to the factory  and this ends up having an impact on the sale price. Drivers are forced to pay more for the same and the Japanese warn that  we have not reached a ceiling . Car rates will continue to rise, although they also warn of the end of this dark period. Going to a dealership today or taking a quick look at the price tables is a real panic. The vast majority of car manufacturers have been forced to increase prices for various reasons. The lack of componen...

US Congress requests documents related to Ford’s battery partnership with CATL

Image
To the chagrin of the large American manufacturers, they do not win, and in addition to the historic strike that the unions are carrying out, there are now added problems with agreements such as those signed by  Ford with the Chinese company CATL  to build a large battery factory in Michigan. According to Reuters, different Republican congressmen have sent a letter to the president of Ford with a deadline for sending the required documentation on its CATL association, and on the American manufacturer’s plan to build a battery factory that will mobilize 3.5 billion Dollars. Concerns are that this factory, which will use Chinese technology,  will allow CATL to facilitate the flow of US tax subsidies to China , and also leave Ford dependent on the Asian giant’s technology. On Monday,  Ford confirmed a freeze on construction work at the  Michigan battery plant, citing concerns about its ability to operate it competitively as it continues to negotiate wi...
