MERCEDES-BENZ G-Class 2016: A Rugged Icon
Technical Specifications
The MERCEDES-BENZ G-Class, also known as the G-Wagon, has been an iconic symbol of off-road capability and luxury since its introduction in 1979. The 2016 model continues to stay true to its roots while offering modern upgrades and features.
The G-Class 2016 comes with a body-on-frame construction, providing exceptional durability and a solid foundation for off-road adventures. It has a length of 187.5 inches, width of 76.3 inches, and a height of 76.9 inches. The ground clearance is an impressive 9.5 inches, making it capable of tackling rough terrains with ease.
Modifications
One of the notable modifications in the 2016 G-Class is the Dynamic Select system, which allows drivers to choose between different driving modes to optimize performance. These modes include Comfort, Sport, Slippery, and Manual. The G-Class also features an optional Off-Road Package, which enhances its off-road capabilities with a two-speed transfer case, three locking differentials, and upgraded suspension.
Engine Versions
The G-Class 2016 is available in two engine versions: the G550 and the AMG G63. The G550 is powered by a 4.0-liter V8 engine, producing 416 horsepower and 450 lb-ft of torque. On the other hand, the AMG G63 is equipped with a handcrafted 5.5-liter AMG V8 engine, delivering an impressive 563 horsepower and 560 lb-ft of torque. Both engines are mated to a seven-speed automatic transmission.
Trim Levels
The G-Class 2016 offers three trim levels: G550, G63 AMG, and G65 AMG. The G550 serves as the base model, offering a blend of luxury and off-road capability. The G63 AMG focuses on enhanced performance, while the range-topping G65 AMG provides the ultimate power and luxury experience.
Design
The design of the G-Class stays true to its boxy and rugged nature, with its iconic looks largely unchanged since its inception. The 2016 model features LED daytime running lights, a prominent grille, and distinctive square-shaped body panels. The interior offers premium materials, modern technology, and spacious seating for up to five passengers.
Handling
Despite its bold and robust appearance, the G-Class 2016 surprises with its impressive on-road handling. The combination of a stiff chassis, advanced suspension system, and responsive steering ensures a comfortable and controlled ride. Off-road, the G-Class shines with its exceptional ground clearance, powerful engine options, and advanced four-wheel drive system.
Key Differences between Generations
In 2016, there were two generations of the G-Class produced: the W463 and the W464. The W463 represents the older generation that began production in 1990 and continued with some updates until 2016. It features a more traditional, squared-off design and is reminiscent of the G-Class's iconic heritage.
On the other hand, the W464 represents the newer generation that debuted in 2018 and continues to the present day. It features a more modern and sleek design, with smoother lines and updated exterior elements. The interior also received significant updates, with advanced technology and enhanced comfort features.
While both generations offer exceptional off-road capability and luxurious amenities, the W464 showcases a more contemporary design and an improved overall driving experience.
Whether you opt for the classic and timeless W463 or the modern and refined W464, the MERCEDES-BENZ G-Class 2016 is a vehicle that combines unmatched off-road prowess with luxurious comfort and style.
The best way to check a car, in addition to an on-site inspection, is to purchase a Carfax and NVMtis report – leading services providing information about vehicles. Obtain comprehensive details about the car, including repair history, mileage, insurance data, and much more, to make an informed decision when buying a used car.
We deliver cars using maritime transport for efficiency and safety. After processing the necessary documents, we transport the car to the nearest port, where it is loaded onto a ship for secure delivery to the destination. For the final leg of delivery from the port to the customer's home, we use ground transportation in the form of car carriers. Our process ensures reliable and timely delivery of your car.
Throughout the entire delivery process, our cars undergo thorough protection. They are insured for the entire transportation period, ensuring safety and coverage of potential risks. Additionally, to prevent damage and preserve the exterior, we use car covers, and inside the car, we install moisture absorbers. These measures ensure the preservation of cars in excellent condition throughout the entire journey to the customer.
To participate in a car auction in the USA or Canada, you need to register on our website, make a small deposit (a mandatory requirement for all auctions), and then specify the desired maximum bid for the car. If the car is sold for the amount you specified or even less, you will become its owner. In some auctions, you may also need to wait for the seller's approval of the final bid.
