of the new Mercedes G-Class calm and collected, but then I saw this, sorry, I really had to. I hope you enjoyed it, so this is the G 500 and the G 63 because I asked you before which version of the new Mercedes G Class you wanted to see and well, many of you said this one, many of you said that one and I said, well, so we have to do both on the inside outside. and driving experience on road and off-road in

HD for screen and phalanx let's start with the throne with the g500 in thomas blue as I call this color so my favorite is also yours leave me your comments well they definitely have It kept this characteristic shape of the G-Class.

Yes, it is a little rounder than before in some elements, but when the front end is still this very massive front wheel, now you can also have these full LED headlights and the turn indicator lights have been kept. the same thing that stands out here also one of the key elements of the interesting g class is that manufacturers generally say that we have everything new, but in reality it is just to face it here, it is the other way around, many parts of these cars are really new , but for the officials who know the regulations and Saturday, I know just a product update because then they could keep this front, which is basically catastrophic for the safety of pedestrians, but if they had registered that there is a completely new vehicle now probably the regulations.

I would have said no, sorry, no interesting background effect allowed here for you. Let's see what the g63 looks like on the front. The G because it's built by Magna Steyr in Austria, so they're making it for Mercedes. It's the same as its predecessor, you know? with the new generation chassis 55% more rigid for both G 500 and G 63 and 170 kilograms of weight savings because the front hood, for example, the fenders and also the doors are made of aluminum and here was the g63, it I could see the difference first. a little lower than the G 500 and also less terribly capable and the front grill has those sexier vertical fins, there it looks a little stronger and with the AMG logo here then it was the matte silver color. or matte gray which one do you like better for the meters 82 or 1548 is the total length of the new g class which is about 5 centimeters a little longer than the previous generation but inside they will have changed more others will soon demonstrate it. but here, for the exterior, it has also been kept with this shape, simply in a vertical position, also with those door handles with a classic sound when closed.

If you don't know the G-class, you're most likely going to say hey, that's a fifty-year-old car, what's it like? that sound and I mean what the hell, but that's the sound that the real G-Class customer really wants to have, otherwise they probably wouldn't buy the car anymore. What changed? You have the side mirror covers here. Now they are round. Does not fit. the reco very good, but probably better, you also know because of the wind characteristics and because of all the technology that you have to put inside if you want the blind spot monitor and so on, you also have to keep some electronic components in the 20 inch wheels what we have. mounted here quite large in a two color combination and then some chrome on the bottom step here you can get into the car quite easily like this yeah those things are really fun with this vehicle I'm sure in the back you have the same too door closure. sound here we go and then this wide shoulder line a little bit more inward in this case this will cause us some trunk space inside.

I'll show you that soon, but definitely the overall square dimensions for that is definitely the G class, so we have some The off-road dish goes around you and talks about that, well, 27 centimeters of ground clearance for the G 500 and also the angles of approach are quite high, thirty degrees in the front and 31 degrees in the rear, so you can literally go anywhere with this vehicle, that's still true, the design just changed a little, for example with those tail lights, but in general, again, you know with the replacement tire here that's the reason why the tailgate opens like this sideways, we know that from all the cars and we have this device soon we will also take a look inside of how much space you really have and we will shoot those who want to go to the deeper water hole than the one we showed them initially, it is about 70 centimeters deep to wade through and that is really a lot, but probably most of the time these situations do not They will happen so well.

We haven't seen the exhaust here on the front of the GFI, the reason is that it's basically hidden a little bit under the car, right on the right side, right in the middle under the car, so we can see better the one that the g63 has. This is a side profile of the g63 AMG and you can see that we have 22 inch wheels, so the larger ones that are available here also have a red stripe. You don't have to get it, it's another design feature here, also on the side mirror housings, right there with a gray tone.

You can also see the contrast, it's basically the protection strip that goes right here on the vehicle, of course, when you have a dark shade of the vehicle color it's not as prominent here, if you have a lighter shade, then you can seal it again with smooth plastic door handles as we used to do since the first G-Class, and here a little wider also with map. Other than that, you can see that the G 500 and the G 63 are not very different from the outside, of course, a little further down here, as you can see once again, maybe go back to the G 500 to really compare what it is like. and to find your favorite then the most special thing I have as proof of the entire g63 are those exhaust tips that come out of one side and the most fun thing is that it is not only on this side but on both sides and for the rear well this It's the position in which both speakers actually look most similar.

It's great to always be able to show them different colors equally when we can really do it right. We usually have a big diffuser, a big exhaust at the rear, then for sports cars or those Mg versions. I've shown you what's happening in the side profile here and by the way, we're having a really tough time today with a lot of wind and different terrain for the camera position, so if you appreciate our effort to show you that both vehicles really They collided. thumbs up share the video tell your friends to also be careful with good fuel, you always know that, of course, when you support us, look at both engines, first of all, lucky we have those hydraulic struts we don't have to push them . opens well, the g500 and g63 arches share the same hardware with a four liter v8 and that is basically new, especially for the g63, the difference is that this is an original engine built in Stuttgart on the Mercedes plan and this is the only man a hand-made AMG motor engine made in I felt comforted by AMG manufacturing, so on the one hand it's the same, on the other hand it's different in the style of the building, a little bit, you can see who built it too and on the other hand, Of course, As for how the horsepower was adjusted, while we have 422 horsepower here, we have five 85 horsepower over there with the g63.

As for acceleration, there is approximately a second and a half difference because we have 5.9 seconds for the G 500. while we have 4.5 seconds for the g63 to 100 kilometers or 62 miles per hour, well if you think about it you have to pay around 100,000 minimum for this and about 200,000 for this, so you can say I know that 1/ 2 seconds is not much. there is a difference but again if you go to 4g63 money doesn't play a role anyway and the overdraft distribution here for g6 2/3 is 40 60 40 front 60% back so you also have a real bias still of course a permanent all-wheel drive, but it loses some ground clearance, so for more off-road use, the G 500 is surely the best option.

This is the Visa key, it's quite light and also thin, and well, one disadvantage of those classic doors is that you say they are closed and then they can move like this, but you really have to slam them shut, that's a secret goal here for the energy 63 of the G 500 Bo, so here you can slam the doors and then inside, this is where the real revolution takes place gently. touch the material on the top here and also a straight horizontal design here with the optional Burmaster sound system the seat that you can control right here also for the headrests a restraint system for example available seat heating and also seat cooling and then Wow, here we go, so this has really changed a lot if you compare it to the previous generation, you have this quite sporty steering wheel, the Distronic is now on the steering wheel and the adaptive cruise control doesn't have a separate column here, but instead There is a separate column to move the steering wheel. up and down and also inward and towards you, then it's also interesting to wrap the dash right there with counterpoints, all digital instruments.

You can also see a few more deals on seats, this standard Indy 500 seat, but it's already pretty sporty on those sides. cushions right there you can also adjust them if you want, so this one also has the black and white contrast unfortunately they don't offer any alternative to animals yet. Can you have to ask for that phone? You know, the individual program couch and now you're getting. Inside and it's really interesting because you can get in very well which is always fun with this vehicle and this upright seating position it's not just an SUV it's really off-road which means you have even more of this style of being on top .

In line, you're the king of looking down on the hood and those turn indicators are pretty cool and one buddy is 86 or six feet tall and we have a panoramic sunroof setup and I don't even have to talk about headroom here , there is absolutely no The problem also with a new generation you have more rumination and the front has more space in centimeters, six centimeters more shoulder room, so it is definitely more spacious. I mean, I told you before, at 12 centimeters wide, overall, the car is definitely a feeling you can say yes to. Couldn't do some longer road trips here, also from the first seating position, it's actually quite good because everything is upright, if those seats really give you that much comfort, we will try it too when we drive the vehicle again, like I said before.

It also adjusts the steering wheel here and then electrically adjusts the seat as well with the leg bottom if you're a little taller, so I think this seating position is also one of the main reasons why people say let's go for the G class. something cool and controlled and here we go with that interior, y'all, horizontal stress here with the converse masters, the panic handle for the co-pilot, you need to drive off-road for example, it's quite useful, so this one more than a steering wheel that looks simply A normal Mercedes passenger car, like the right side, the steering wheel full of volume, for example, the digital display extends to large screens that basically form a visual unit and then with your thumbs you can control the side right here and with the left thumb you can control the left screen but it is also possible to use the central controller here at the bottom for example, and then on the middle roads, it is also quite interesting at the top for the three front differentials rears and the center differential if you want to use them or they offer driving and those turbine vents right there, it's the classic machines climate unit to control it only manual high driving and locking lock and bottom and then to the adaptable cupholders nowhere you can put the key and with the armrest here that slides up in the two divides and then you can charge your phone there, whether you use the normal charging function or the connection for the smartphone interface when you want to use Apple Carplay and etc., so that the instruments can change the things you see via GPS right there, radio. function of the phone you can also change the different styles, for example, also a sporty hairstyle like this, also called progressive, this would be my favorite, I think, and its speed in the middle, but then you can have a lot of features right there, but if not I don't like these fancy things, they are still optional, you can still get analog instruments and for this car maybe it is also more appropriate for the right side here, like I said you can use your thumb and here I will also have the function that you use some on Stevie and then you can zoom in and out.

I like that it was different with the only Mercedes A class for example, but here you don't have a touch screen either, for example, the lower controls still work and you have the standard menu there we go, we can alsochange it by phone, whether we have Bluetooth or again with Apple CarPlay if you connect the cable and you have this connection function right there and then you can choose to have a copy, for example. Pretty classic Mercedes system, great style, the GPS sometimes confuses us a little so I'm not very happy with it, but overall I think the system offers everything you want to have besides the touch screen, maybe options of lighting, for example, can also change the ambient light.

There are so many different colors. This is also something you can play with so that for rear passengers the door doesn't open as much. I have the same great style for the back seats as well and when we get in it's always nice to use the handles here on the top as well and on the bottom step and now you have 15 centimeters more legroom than previous generations so even if a tall driver like me is driving in front he is actually quite okay with the lack of space so it's still not a good package, we have much smaller cars that have the same lack of space so it's not They use the space you have very well, but it's a big step forward when you compare it to the previous generation and how we can sit here comfortably as well. with for adults The headroom in the rear isIn fact, I have to talk about it, very good, the rear bench part goes a little bit back, but overall it's great to sit in the back too because you also said that It is so upright that you can also change the back of the seat to be more upright or be more in a sleeping position and very interesting.

I'm so sorry I missed that one at the g63 world premiere in Geneva, well yeah I'm not perfectly back so I was closing the car opening because I had the key map. It's interesting, so if you now pull this strap at the bottom but to the side, I really want to do it from here because then you can see that normally you would do it from the position that you're standing in now, but then it would be blocking. the view for you so here we go and then we can fold down the bottom and then when we turn this one over here we also lower the headrests and yeah I'm using this microphone because it gives you better sound quality and it's very windy. outside, but you can hear that now with this magnificent microphone, so hello to me, so that does not depend on what is difficult for me, so what better for you, so for all those who flap here from the back bench, that It is very useful and we will also take a look. what does that one look like from the truck, so it opens to the sides, as I told you before, and well, to put it back, it has a hydraulic strut, but it needs some power also for the other doors, when it is also windy, sometimes it can be.

A problem if you're not too strong then putting a cabin trailer in here to show how much space we have and well actually this is a bit disappointing because the guy is very big and there's not much space left in the boot here. in the length and also in the width, so you can see Kevin. As for the trolley, you can put two next to each other, for example, that is possible, but in the length you know if you have luggage for two people that will fit, but you have to avoid a little bit, so if you want to access one of those, if you then compare, for example, let me tell you if it's GE or Jill, you're actually easier trunk-wise than with those standard SUVs because you know this space here or you lose it. you don't have that available, so there's a little step and then you see, oh, another bag where they also have to start some nets, then you have to go up further to the bench where you can carry things over here, the top part you have. cover, you can easily slide it back again if you want the interior of the g63 AMG with a logo here on the key, the basic key is the same and you have another mg logo on the back and let's go in and we can see with a different one. style here with a red style for this red carbon fiber lure, elements also with a lot of contrasting red stitching and this padded structure we can also find it on the inside of the doors, right there, this padded structure and also on the seats, those sport seats. with strong lateral support and well, this frame looks great, but I can always tell you that when I care I am sitting on those frames for longer.

I don't recommend it, it's better when you don't have the destroyer than for a long time. term comfort Steven, we here, the special angry steamer will perfect its sides, flat bottom from the side view, you can always take a look at the digital instruments from there we will soon give you another look from the interior overview, you can see Bo too again similar but here a little more emphasized by the angry racing style in the interior overview we can see that on the g63 we have some changes here with the red racing style also this carbon red structure we also had on the top of the panic handle also with the different steering wheel with a flat and lower AMG vapor that we have also seen on other vehicles.

Red corner stitches at the 12 o'clock position here at the top, also those digital indicators on the front half of the mg style with more information about what's going on. on the vehicle and also where the rear has the same style as on the front nice mg entrance plates, they are also illuminated and when I enter here it is again the same as the normal one lack of space and stuff so sometimes the Aintree sports world are less comfortable than the normal ones, but here you can't necessarily say that and I mean you still have this off-road monster here, a little less off-road for sure in the g63, but if you want to use it more for road driving, but it will probably give you a little more stability.

I think we should explore that also soon in the driving part, now in the driving part of the g5 hundreds. I was dying a little because one of the things that was promised with this new generation is that it is more agile to drive although it still looks like this rotation and I see that it actually works, so it actually feels quite sporty. So it looks like they also fixed the steering, so it's a little more progressive, but as you've seen at the roundabout, I still have to do it. I see a lot and the reason for this is that they offer the character of this vehicle, you know, it's supposed to stay the same in some way and in off-road vehicles we have to steal a little more than when you go off-road. something is changing on the surface, the steering wheel, the landscape is not like a full turn, you don't know anything and maybe your fingers will break or something, so he has a little more advantage to drive and the steering responds a little little more. but it's not as responsive as those, someone can say it's a really big Mercedes SUV and if you're thinking about going for the standard big MSA, the SUV is like a chili or GLS or this money in the g class, I'll give you too some.

Throughout this driving

review

, suggestions are given as to what is actually different that you hear, and actually not only do you see that from the windshield it is still very vertical and this generates more wind noise than there would be with a flatter windshield, wind noise is a little less than the previous generation. They have also improved the sound insulation, however, there is no denying the style of the building or the style of the car. You can still hear that it's a little windy outside today, but we're still driving at 90 kilometers per hour and it's windier just because of the noise. then you would hear that in a sense you know the perspective of the Mercedes SUV which is definitely aligned with the road noise and the engine noise.

You don't really hear much, especially when you let it roll, the only thing that customers of this What I appreciate most about the car is this command driving position, which is even further improved and in a normal, normal street style of Nava, because when you actually sit down, you know, one step forward and the hood is pretty low, so considering this is a big car, you can still see very well where the hood ends because you actually sit on top of it here and That's certainly a fun feeling. It is something unique that you hardly have in any other vehicle on the road today and you still have that feeling of robustness and toughness. you think you are above all things, this definitely belongs to the concept of this vehicle, so you know the highway, you can also try the assistance systems, this is also one of the main improvements here, we have a blind spot monitor, Well, no one will ever overtake us. now, but it will have been then, you know, a triangle on the left mirror there is also the Distronic, the adaptive cruise control, you can set it up here now with the steering wheel steered, not with a separate column and then, for example, you can just have a normal force control or also an adaptive one, you can even choose that in this case I can also control the distance to the car in front of me like this and then I can basically relax with the accelerator and brakes and that's it, so we begin.

Here with some highways to give you some characteristics of those and then soon I will head to some more agile roads, very interesting by the way. Now we're basically in the wind shadow of this truck in front of us and suddenly it's super solid here. and you don't usually hear that in normal cars, but since winter is due to the wind, the windshield is very present now it's basically very blocked, that's a very interesting thing that you know as soon as the truck is Let's see if we can experience something more. By the way, it goes about 80 kilometers per hour.

Considering the car sits so high, it is still very stable. You know, it doesn't lean too much, although we know there's a lot of give, esp. Wow, that trailer goes a little sideways, maybe I'm going to do a little more so we can slide the trailer out or something, so this is something they achieve, you're pretty cool that the car is still kind of stable, however, if you really steer it. Pick it up and let it shake, you might still feel this pretty soft off-road suspension and then the car moves like this. In some ways it's fun to drive and again also defines the character of this vehicle, so it's as bad a Victor dealership ticket as we can get. choose different driving modes guys, I'm in sport mode, the gears go higher and then we can accelerate this car a little better because I'm ice.

I'm not sure if they'll be interested when they drive. this car, but already when I am driving about 12 liters even above that and when I go to accelerate a little more this will probably increase even more. Mercedes claims they have also improved fuel consumption, but that usually only happens on paper. Yes, the car is a little lighter than before and the previous generation's chassis is about 55 percent stiffer, so you feel the extra agility. Yes, but it won't really improve fuel consumption, so you'll have to live with high fuel consumption when you drive this car for a long time.

By the way, surely there is also an eco mode where the RPM drops a little bit, for example, the throttle input is reduced and you also know that you can let the car sell, that is possible, you can try it and try it whenever you want . certainly some fuel, but in most cases it won't have that big of an effect. By the way, I don't let the total exceed the total, you don't want the front to be on the sides, since this car really has such boxy dimensions. I can really see very well where these cars end up so this would be one of the great luxury cars where I would say I could also live without 360 degrees around the camera and stuff this would be nice as you can actually see what you know what's happening around the car, is as you know, quite nice and good for this or another style of old building, so take note and let me slow down a little bit and let's go part time at 40 kilometers per hour and see how it turns out this acceleration here and also what is giving us the sound and then him and the G 500 for those vehicles to pass and let's go, that's 100, so it's very difficult to imagine that a tank like that can still accelerate that heart.

There's also quite a nice sound here from the v8. Loud, not too loud because everything is very well insulated, but that's what's quite fun, so it suffers a lot, of course, with the V8, there's a lot of displacement and we all drive, that's what you get from those engines large and old quite classic. Now the truck is shooting ahead of us with 90 kilometers. Now you hear the noise of the wind once again. One thing I was looking at as well was the suspension because you know in the front you have an independent suspension, but in the rear. you still have this rigid axle that's pretty set up for people, a heavy load or driving and stuff, and they're actually pretty old construction, so to speak, of course, everything's been, you know, replaced, updated, etc., and you do it.

I feel like whereas in the old tree cars you had a suspensionsmar

test

. because the price, I mean let's be honest, it's an expensive car for sure, but then when you pay even more, maybe double the price for the G 63, it doesn't really make sense, only if you say I don't really care about the money, then I can also think of the G 63 in general. In fact, they've changed a lot with all these new generations, so it's more than you can really see, but the fact that they continued this classic style on the outside is also part of the concept.

The same goes for closing doors. sound, so this is still a real icon and I think on the one hand it's a smart choice that they kept it, on the other hand, of course, as I've shown you, it has some disadvantages for pedestrian safety and, Of course, it is sometimes not so easy to close the doors, especially when you don't have as much power inside. The key element is that you have this high, upright seating position and it's actually a lot of fun to drive, especially with this soft off-road suspension. that sometimes you can lean a little and of course it is still totally off-road.

That's also very interesting. I would be eager to get your feedback if you are a G class customer, do you drive it off road or are you? I prefer to keep it on the road, sure most vehicles will probably stay on the road in general due to the driving experience. I really had a lot of fun with it, just on the one hand, on the other hand, you have to say that the comfort is given because you have this terribly soft suspension, yes, but the sound insulation they have improved if you compare it with the previous generation, but still so if you take a big modern Mercedes SUV like in reality or a GLS, they are quieter inside, you have to take that into account.

If you know this exterior design with the vertical window in the front, it has some costs and just know that if you say it's more important to me that the car looks the way it does, then you just have to put up with it. You have that in mind and you just have to live with some other disadvantages that also come with this car, so what do you think you would actually choose for the G 500 or the G 63 and what do you think in general about the concept here of the g-? classify it on one hand as a dinosaur but underneath as a very modern car, so basically it's a unique mix with hardly any competition on the market.

What do you think? Leave me your comments and also tune in to our next episode of the article.
