The 2024 Mercedes-Benz G-Class W465 is a refined blend of legacy ruggedness and modern luxury. With its unmistakable design, formidable off-road capability, and cutting-edge technology, the G-Class maintains its status as an iconic luxury SUV. Whether navigating city streets or traversing the most challenging terrains, the G-Class provides an unrivaled experience for both the driver and passengers.
Standard W465: Design & Features
The G-Class W465 builds on the legendary G-Wagon, retaining its distinctive square design while integrating modern enhancements that improve performance, safety, and comfort. The 2024 model showcases the same bold, boxy silhouette, round headlights, and large fender flares that have become synonymous with the G-Class. However, beneath this classic exterior, the W465 introduces significant advancements in both engineering and technology.
Key Features of the W465:
- Powerful Engine: The AMG G 63 is powered by a 4.0L bi-turbo V8 engine, delivering 577 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque. Paired with a 9-speed AMG Speedshift transmission, it accelerates from 0-100 km/h in just 4.4 seconds. The incorporation of a 48V mild-hybrid system provides an additional 20 BHP boost, enhancing both performance and efficiency.
- Off-Road Capability: The G-Class is engineered for exceptional off-road performance, featuring a robust ladder-frame chassis, full-time all-wheel drive, and three lockable differentials. These features ensure the G-Class remains one of the most capable off-road vehicles on the market, designed to handle a wide variety of terrains, from rocky paths to deep mud.
- AMG Active Ride Control: The G-Class W465 is equipped with AMG Active Ride Control, a dynamic suspension system that adapts to changing road conditions. This system ensures superior handling and comfort on smooth highways as well as uneven, rugged surfaces.
