    In South Africa 🇿🇦, we use them off-road. Geländewagen means "terrain vehicle," after all. 😊
    The fact that others buy it for the wrong reasons, doesn't make it a bad off-roader (Nick, it isn't a SUV!). Getting my G400d Schökl next week, one of the last ones before the 2025 G450d arrives. 243kW and 700Nm. It will be used extensively in the rocky Richtersveld and Kgalagadi deserts, in the Karoo desert regions and in the mountains of South Africa. No, it isn't a Constantia Cruiser. It still is hand-built, hand welded from stainless steel, has three diff-locks that can be ENGAGED WHILE ON THE GO, oodles of torque, excellent traction control and proper low range. At a sensible 60mph/100km/h, fuel consumption is 10l/100km. As I am a wildlife photographer in my sixties, likely the last personal car I'll ever buy. My friend's 1981 280GE is still as new and he did a 5,000mile desert excursion earlier this year. Utterly reliable.

    We like our 2024 G450d as a daily driver and as a long highway holiday cruiser and also for little offroad trips and even as a minicamper with a popup sleeping platform - for us an allrounder. With the 450d Diesel engine we have an overall consumption of 8,2 L / 100km which is a positive surprise. Only the turning circle could be better...and yes with over 145kmh speed the windnoises are getting louder. We have the cheapest ( Professional ) Line together with dark-olice paint and night package which at my opinion ( see our shorts) makes the G look like a G should look

    • @npoleary

    I am waiting for my EQB AMG line premium plus to be delivered. If you squint real hard it’s almost like a smaller G-wagon.😂 It certainly drives like a dream and its €50k cheaper than what you’re driving here. All blacked out with the 20” black spoke wheels, so some kind of a statement I guess. Still not cheap by any means.

    I’ve always liked them, my boss hates them, but I do think Mercedes could have had an exterior re-design over the years and softened the edges 🤔

      @npoleary  Місяць тому

    • @npoleary

      For everyday day use though I’d say it’s very overpriced in my own opinion. But that’s what it’s about, Lamborghini’s and supercars are used in cities like London where you can’t drive fast…. So….more of a statement piece
