AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)06/01 Report--

Starting this year, it is widely rumored that Mercedes-Benz will launch a small-engine version of the G-class off-road vehicle, which will be developed for the Chinese market to further meet the purchase needs of consumers. Recently, some media have confirmed the news that the new car will be launched soon.

According to media reports, a group of domestic road test photos of the Mercedes-Benz G350 model have been officially exposed. compared with the current Mercedes-Benz G500 model, the car uses a lower-engine 2.0T turbocharged engine with a 48V micro-hybrid system. at the same time, there has been a reduction in configuration, and the price that consumers are more concerned about will certainly fall further, which is expected to be less than 1 million.

As a reference, the official guidance price of the current Mercedes-Benz G500 model is 162.88-1.8988 million yuan, and the new car is sold at a terminal price, landing more than 2 million yuan. Therefore, the introduction of the G-class of small-engine Mercedes-Benz will largely meet the purchase needs of some consumers.

In terms of appearance, the 2.0T four-cylinder Mercedes-Benz G 350 will continue to adopt the founder's retro design style, but the whole car is more mundane, such as a completely uncovered shell with rear-mounted spare tires, which is directly exposed. At the same time, the new car is also equipped with five ordinary style wheels.

In terms of interior decoration, the design of the G 350 model is basically the same as that of the current model, with a large penetrating screen composed of double 12.3-inch screens with a full sense of science and technology. It can also be seen from the picture that the G350 will continue to be equipped with three differential locks.

It is reported that the Mercedes-Benz G350 chassis code W463.210, the power system is equipped with M2642.0T turbocharged engine, and equipped with 48V light hybrid system, of which the maximum engine power is 299hp (220kW), with a 9-speed manual transmission.

Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a "cross-country shrine" model, which has become a target for non-off-road fans. However, the launch of the 2.0T four-cylinder G-class by Mercedes-Benz has also caused a lot of controversy, but to say the least, Mercedes-Benz is more interested in the psychology of consumers and further expand users.

China levies an additional 10 per cent consumption tax on ultra-luxury cars with a retail price of 1.3 million yuan. If the G350 model is really launched, the car may be priced below 1.3 million yuan, in order to lower the threshold and avoid high taxes and fees. There are also many voices who point out that the dream of buying big G under 1 million is no longer far away.
