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.

New KIA e-Niro already has a price in Spain

Image
A few months after its official presentation, KIA opened the order books for the new e-Niro in Spain. The revamped compact SUV, which now sits on the K3 platform already seen in the latest Hyundai Elantra, is slightly longer (6.5 centimeters) than its predecessor and  debuts a completely revamped exterior and interior design . However, mechanically there are not too many changes. The second-generation KIA e-Niro is equipped with a 204 hp (150 kW) and 255 Nm engine coupled to the front axle, thanks to which it can complete the 0 to 100 km/h in 7.8 seconds. Its battery pack will have a capacity of 64.8 kWh, enough to approve a maximum of  463 km WLTP  (its official consumption is 15.9 kWh/100 km), a minimal improvement compared to the 455 km WLTP achieved by its predecessor which tells us that, despite the use of a new platform, the powertrain is likely to be very similar. As for the load, for the moment it has only been revealed that it  will take 43 minutes to go from 10 to 80%  conn

VW thinks price war in China will lead to many bankruptcies

Image
Ralf Brandstätter, CEO of the Volkswagen Group in China , believes that the electric car market is “overheating”, with high investments and aggressive discounts that could threaten the stability of the sector. In particular, he points out that the pressure to which some manufacturers are subjected could lead to their demise. This situation mainly affects younger brands: according to the manager, many new players will urgently have to seek additional capital investment, or else they will go  bankrupt in the short term .  “We are facing a situation where the market is overheating. The consolidation of the playing field is in full swing. Although without making direct mention of Tesla, Brandstätter  is very critical of the price war that has rocked the Chinese market in recent months .  “Currently, there are more than 120 automakers in the [electric vehicle] market, and around 150 new models will be launched by 2023. Intense competition and high battery prices make them face strong econ
