With
the new Land Rover Defender due in 2017, Mercedes- Benz will reportedly release
a major update to its G-Class around the same time in order to keep the
competition between them alive. While the Land Rover will be an all new model,
with new styling, engines and underpinnings, the Mercedes G-Class is only
reportedly expected to have an update, although the changes to the vehicle are
said to be so extensive they could be considered as a re-design.
Reports
revealed by insiders to Drive, reports that engineers are focused on improving
the G-Class’s stability, both on and off the road. We are expecting to see a
wider track, made necessary by wider wheels and new suspension designed to
boost interior space.

The updated
G-Class will also benefit from Mercedes-Benz latest tech, including electronic
power-steering, new driver assistance features and the latest in connectivity
and infotainment. Apparently the 2012’s Ener-G-Force concept car will influence
some of the vehicle’s exterior styling, although the classic boxy look will
remain.
