Available in showrooms from autumn, Mercedes has announced that its G Class model has been enhanced with 'state-of-the-art' features as it reaches its 33rd year.
Although several changes have been made to the vehicle, it has still retained many interior features including the handle on the front-passenger side, switches for the three differential locks and the redesigned shift lever in the lower section of the centre console.
On the outside, the model boasts new mirrors, new LED daytime running lights, red brake callipers, 20-inch wheels, characteristic AMG radiator grille with double louvres and new bumpers with large air intakes.
Safety features include Blind Spot Assist and the parking aid PARKTRONIC.
The G-Class also benefits from adaptive cruise control system DISTRONIC PLUS and the LINGUATRONIC voice-operated control system.
The COMAND Online infotainment system includes Bluetooth wireless connectivity, a navigation system with special additional off-road functions, and internet access as standard.
"Our G-Class has been a force to be reckoned with for the last 33 years. In its latest evolutionary stage, it offers state-of-the-art, powerful engines, a further improved range of luxurious appointments and the very latest safety features, as well, of course, as its now legendary off-road capabilities."
"At the same time the design remains true to its down-to-earth, unmistakable style," said Dr Dieter Zetsche, Chairman of the Board of Management of Daimler AG and Head of Mercedes-Benz Cars.
The four-valve per cylinder engine has an output of 211bhp and new to the range is the G 63 AMGwith V8 biturbo engine with 544bhp, which features the ECO start/stop system as standard.
The manufacturer added, "The technical qualities of the G-Class continue to be highly prized. The tremendous torque of its engines makes the luxury off-roader an excellent vehicle for towing, while its three electrically controlled 100-percent differential locks, ladder frame and rigid axle characteristics make it an unrivalled proposition in rough, off-road terrain."
Pricing details for the model have yet to be announced.
