G-Class: New range sweeps in end of this year at under £83,000

The new Mercedes-Benz G-Class will cost under £83,000 when it arrives in UK showrooms at the end of this year.

They will have more power, more technology, greater comfort and improved safety.

Priced from £82,945 OTR for the G 350 BlueTEC, the new G-Class has increased levels of standard equipment including new LED daytime running lights and a reworked interior that, for the first time, is fitted with COMAND Online.

Also fitted as standard is Parktronic, an audio and visual parking aid and new leather upholstery in conjunction with heated front and rear seats. A new design of 18” five-spoke alloy wheels, electric folding and heated mirrors, instrument cluster with colour display and a mighty Harman Kardon® Logic 7® surround sound audio system complete the changes.

The 3.0 litre V6 engine fitted to the G 350 BlueTEC model delivers 211 hp, a 1hp gain, and retains the same fuel consumption and CO2 emissions of the model it replaces – 25.2 mpg and 295 g/km respectively.

The new G 63 AMG is priced at £123,115 OTR. Its hand built bi-turbo 5.5-litre V8 AMG engine delivers 544 hp and 760 Nm of torque – an improvement of 37 hp and 60 Nm over the outgoing G 55 AMG. Despite these gains, the new V8 sees combined CO2 emissions reduced by 13% to 322 g/km and combined fuel consumption improved by 15% to 20.5 mpg.

Distinguishing the G 63 AMG from the rest of the G-Class range is a unique AMG radiator grille with twin chrome fins running through the black mesh grille. The changes extend to a set of AMG wheel-arch extensions finished in the vehicle colour, a bespoke AMG sports exhaust system with chromed twin tailpipes and a new 20” five-twin-spoke alloy wheel design in Titanium Grey high-sheen finish.

Inside, the G 63 AMG now features single-tone designo leather trim, an AMG selector lever with leather insets and an embossed AMG emblem, AMG stainless steel illuminated door sill panels complete with AMG lettering and an AMG instrument cluster with colour display.

Finally, a powerful Harman Kardon® Logic 7® surround sound system and COMAND Online with Media Interface and DAB radio ensure the G 63 AMG is fitted with the latest in-car enhancements.

In addition, the G 63 AMG comes with the Chrome Package and Exterior Styling Package as standard, optional on the G 350 BlueTEC for £765 and £1,515 respectively.

Despite its focus on performance, the G 63 AMG in common with every new G-Class is fitted with permanent all-wheel drive, fully engageable differential locks, four wheel Electronic Traction System and a low-range gear reduction to ensure it remains a viable and adept off-road vehicle.
