The G-Wagen lost its solid front axle for 2019. While it might have lost some capability in the rocks, an independent front suspension makes for a more comfy ride on the pavement and a speedier trip through the whoops.
The G-Class is available as the G550 with 416 horsepower and 450 pound-feet of torque or the AMG G63 with 577 horsepower and 627 pound-feet. Both vehicles sport a twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V8.
A center differential locker ensures that power is split equally between the front and rear axles. Drivers can then engage the front and rear lockers to then split that torque equally to each wheel.
