Next generation Mercedes-Benz G-Class leaked ahead of Detroit Debut

The next generation Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV has been leaked ahead of its official debut at the 2018 Detroit Motor Show later this month. It has, as expected, retained its decades-old boxy looks but with the latest Mercedes design elements to bring it into the modern age.

Simply put, take the G-Class boxy design add in the latest Merc headlights, grille, bumpers and tail lamps and voila! You have the 2019 G-Class. It still looks imposing and has grown in proportions but with sports revised suspensions setups (front and rear), nine-speed AT as well as other hardcore off road tweaks to ensure the car continues to live up to its legendary predecessors.

The G-Class has picked up what appears to be the E-Class’ cabin but with a few ‘G’ specific touches to give it its individuality. We have spoken in detail about the car’s cabin and you can read about that here. There is no word yet on the powertrains but we can sure it will the new crop of straight-six petrol and diesel motors as well as the 4.4-litre V8 for the G63 and G65. 

We will get you all the details of the SUVs' unveiling scheduled for 15 January. So stay tuned to CarWale!
