Mercedes-Benz produced the Geländewagen pretty much
the same way it always had since 1979. After nearly 40 years, though, it has
finally introduced a completely new G-Class. But that’s just the beginning.
If the last version was anything to go by, we can
expect a whole mess of new variants to follow in an array of bodystyles, with
a proliferation of axles and suspension setups, and even wearing AMG and
Maybach badges.
Mercedes has
already rolled out a new Night Package for its new hardcore off-roader to imbue
it with a more low-key look than the usual brightwork. As revealed by the MB
Passion blog, the appearance package includes dark-tinted lights and windows
all around, along with black trim for the grille slats, bumper inserts, side
mirror caps, window frames, and the frame surrounding spare-tire carrier.
The Night Package is available exclusively in
concert with the AMG Line package that was also just revealed, lest you think
of ordering yours all murdered out, it’s reportedly only available on
brighter-painted models – like this one pictured in a rather striking shade of
red. Darker tints, meanwhile, are offset with chrome trim, ostensibly for more
contrast.
For our part, we won’t be surprised to see more
appearance packages like this to surface in the coming years. From what we’ve
seen of the previous model, the new G-Wagen will be around for a very long
time.
