2023 Mercedes-Benz G400D AMG Line Premium Plus
Key Points: Brabus Exterior Kit, 23" Alloy Wheels, Burmester 3D Surround Sound System.
The second-generation (W463) G-Class was launched in January 2018 at the North American International Auto Show, with a larger body, improved ground clearance, adaptive electric power steering and independent front suspension. While visually similar, only three parts from the previous generation were carried over to the new model: the headlamp washers, the push-button door handles and the spare wheel cover bolted to the rear tailgate. Despite the increased dimensions, the weight has been reduced by about 170 kilograms over the first-generation car.
The redesign also allowed newer safety and collision avoidance equipment from the W222- era S-Class to be fitted to the G-Class for the first time. In addition, the updated interior shares its instrument cluster and infotainment system with the W177-era A-Class and W123 E-Class, and also features a steering column-mounted gear selector, a centre console mounted control panel, and 64-colour ambient lighting. A Burmester surround sound system and a larger dual 12.3-inch LCD display with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto were offered as optional equipment.
The G400d variant, introduced in 2020, features the 2.9-liter ‘OM656’ inline-six turbocharged diesel engine, producing 326hp and 516 lb ft of torque.
