It looks like Mercedes is putting the final pieces
of the G-Class puzzle together in the latest set of spy shots, with two
prototypes spotted in standard and AMG guises, wearing their final production
lights.
The unmistakable boxy shape of the G-Class will
remain pretty much unchanged, with reports talking about Mercedes widening the
whole car by around four inches for more interior room and better
handling.
That last part will also be improved thanks to the
adoption of an independent front suspension which will allow the 2019 G-Class
to drive less like a truck and more like a modern SUV. The engine range will
include Mercedes’ latest turbocharged straight-six units while the full AMG
version will be powered by the twin-turbo 4.0-liter V8, complete with the
always awesome side exhausts.
The go-faster version of the G-Class will also be
fitted with wider fenders and chunkier bumpers while the front grille will be
different from standard models as well.
We hope a dashboard featuring a similar layout with the latest Mercedes models,
complete with a widescreen infotainment screen sitting next to the instrument
binnacle.
Mercedes will continue building the new G-Class in
Magna’s plant in Austria, with the latest reports saying that the current
G-Class might still be produced alongside the new model in a more bare-bones
version.
