Daimler AG’s redesigned Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV will feature a larger interior and a host of modern amenities.
But the new SUV adds nearly six inches of rear legroom and boasts additional shoulder room and elbow clearance for front and rear seat occupants. Available seat features include heat, massage, power-adjusted lumbar support and a settings memory function.
The backrests and side sections of the seat cushions have integrated air chambers that are continuously adjusted based on driving dynamics, with more lateral support provided during cornering, for example. The rear seats can be partially or fully folded down to increase storage space.
The new G-Class also will sport Mercedes’ latest digital dashboard, which debuted on the carmaker’s flagship S-Class sedan. The design consists of twin 12.3-inch touchscreens—one each for the instrument cluster and infotainment system—housed under a large glass cover that extends across the center console.
Fewer buttons and switches are used, and the ones that remain are metal. The air vents also have been reworked to convey a jet turbine look that was introduced on the E-Class coupe. The original G-Class’ dash-mounted grab carries over into the new interior.
Buyers can choose from a wide range of materials, including Lugano and Nappa leather, open-pore wood and diamond-pattern quilting. The base sound system has seven speakers, while a high-end Burmester option uses 16 speakers and a 590-watt amplifier with digital sound processing.
