Release date:

The release date of the 2022 Mercedes G-wagon has not been officially disclosed yet.

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz G 550 packs a 4-liter bi-turbo V8 engine that cranks out 416 hp at 5250 rpm and 450 lb-ft of torque at 2000 rpm. This V8 engine is mated to a 9-speed automatic transmission that sends all the colossal power via an all-wheel-drive unit that puts the maximum traction to the road in all conditions. Apart from its performance, it is also known for its off-roading capabilities. With three locking differentials, it provides great traction while driving off-road. On the flip side, the handling is not up to the mark and the steering feels slightly heavy at high speeds resulting in cumbersome handling. On the performance front, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G 550 hits 0-60 mph in 5.6 seconds and covers a quarter-mile distance in 13.9 seconds which is quick indeed despite having one of the underpowered engines in its class. Moreover, it maxes out at 155 mph effortlessly and delivers a linear powerband throughout the rev range making it one of the fastest SUVs in this division. Also, it is equipped with double wishbone suspension in the front and trailing link suspension in the rear which is focused more on offering a comfortable ride rather than offering stiff ride quality.

With the least power in its segment, the 2022 Toyota Land Cruiser is just not up to the mark of a good driver’s car. With only 5.1 seconds to reach from 0-60 mph, the Land Rover Range Rover Autobiography is the fastest SUV in the segment, followed by the Lincoln Navigator L Black Label which takes 5.4 seconds to propel to 60 mph. On the other hand, the Toyota Land Cruiser seems to be the slowest car in the segment with a 0-60 mph of 5.4 seconds and also has the least quarter-mile times of 15.4 seconds. The Mercedes Benz may be a bit low on power but keeps pace with all its counterparts in terms of performance.

Surprisingly, the Mercedes Benz G550 manages to return 17 mpg in the city, 19 mpg on the highway, and 18 mpg when combined and these figures turn out to be the best in class. All thanks to the bi-turbo V8 engine. Equipped with a 26.4-gallon fuel tank, the Mercedes Benz G550 happens to offer a mediocre driving range in its class. This brawny SUV is capable of covering a distance of 449 miles in the city, 502 miles while driving on the highway, and a combined 475 miles. However, it falls behind the rivals only by a minute margin.

When cruising on the highway, the 2021Toyota Land Cruiser is good for 418 miles and 320 miles in the city with a full tank. But with a bigger 27.8 gallon-sized tank, and 20 mpg EPA ratings on the highway, the Lincoln Navigator L Black Label gets the most range with 452 miles in the city, 594 miles on the highway, and a combined 509 miles in mixed conditions. The 2021Toyota Land Cruiser has relatively poor fuel efficiency figures and also has the smallest tank that can hold only 24.4 gallons of fuel. The Mercedes Benz G550, on the other hand really offers an impressive mileage for its size.

There is no doubt that the Mercedes offers the best-looking cabin in its class. It incorporates the old-school boxy design with modern treatment throughout the cabin. The interior surely oozes you with luxury and comfort. To begin with, the AC vents are finished in metallic which looks absolutely superior in quality. Like every other Mercedes, you have that very calming interplay of a crisp, functional layout and rich textures and materials. To add to the jeep persona, it adds a grab handle on the dashboard which will be useful for the front passenger while driving off-road or on rough terrains. Also, the cabin is brimmed with metallic components that dazzle you with its opulence. Having said that, the seats get leather upholstery as a standard that looks supreme in terms of quality. Moreover, the Seat Comfort package adds ventilated and massaging front seats for an additional cost. The three-zone automatic climate control, on the other hand, keeps the cabin at the ideal temperature in any weather conditions.

Coming to the interior dimensions, the Mercedes Benz G550 offers the highest front headroom of 41.9 inches in the front and 40.5 inches in the rear and can easily accommodate 5 people. Due to its upright ergonomics, the shoulder room and legroom are below par the segment. It offers 38.7 inches of legroom in the front and 39.5 inches at the rear. However, this limited interior space makes way for a large cargo capacity of 38.1 cubic feet which is almost double the size of some of its competitors.

Amongst the competition, Both the Toyota Land Cruiser and Land Rover Range Rover get nearly the same amount of shoulder room in both the front and rear rows. However, the Lincoln Navigator is the car that offers the highest shoulder room of 65.2 inches in the front and 65.1 inches in the rear. The Lincoln Navigator’s 39.5-inches of headroom space at the front is marginally similar to the Land Rover Range Rover’s headroom.
