![]() The brakes in the G-Class are considerable and offer good all-around performance. For sandy conditions, there is a Desert Mode accessible via the Dynamic Select controller. With three lockable differentials in play, there always seems to be grip in one corner or the other. The G-Wagon loves to crawl over obstacles and displays excellent wheel articulation. Take this machine off-road, however, and things start to make a whole lot more sense. Those who want a more dynamic experience can opt for the available adaptive suspension, but even this system can't entirely hide the fact that the G550 is a tall and heavy SUV. Throw this boxy behemoth into a set of corners with too much speed, and you'll be met with understeer and body roll. Seeing as these cars will spend the majority of their time in cities and suburbs, it is good to note that low-speed comfort is excellent: the G-Class will soak up road imperfections like it's nobody's business, and at higher speeds, it feels planted and refined (just don't mind the wind noise). No one will ever expect the body-on-frame G-Class to be a canyon-carving sports car, and it sure as hell isn't, but it has come leaps and bounds since the original utilitarian versions first came out. As standard, the G550 now comes with a tow hitch and rear-seat entertainment preparation. The options list is revised and now gains ten additional colors (including the eye-catching new Copper Orange Magno), as well as a rear-seat entertainment system. On a level more relatable to a 2022 G-Class buyer in the US, the Professional Line exterior trim package is expected to become available this year, encompassing a bunch of exterior changes to make the G more off-road ready, such as fat off-road tires on black 18-inch wheels, mud flaps, stone guards in front of the headlights, blacked-out exterior trim, a tow hitch, and more. Hinting at the future, of course, is the electric G-Class, the Concept EQG, that was first shown in September 2021. The G still makes do with the old Comand system, even three years after launch and even after all the other Mercedes models have switched over to the feature-rich MBUX. Not much is changing for the 2022 Mercedes-Benz G-Class and those that were hoping for the new MBUX infotainment system are out of luck. ![]()
