Does the G-Class have a starry sky roof?
3 Answers
The G-Class does not come with a starry sky roof as standard. Principle of the starry sky roof: Traditional starry sky roof technology uses optical fibers to transmit light from a light source to the interior roof, creating a starry sky effect. This requires inserting and securing each fiber into the roof, and fibers can only be fixed in areas without a sunroof. For models with a panoramic sunroof, a large portion of the roof cannot be covered with fibers, resulting in an incomplete starry sky pattern. Controller: The lighting component includes glass with a preset pattern and a light film, where the light film is located within the interlayer of the starry sky patterned glass and is connected to the controller. Preferably, it also includes a switch connected to the controller. Preferably, it also includes a power source connected to the switch, forming a circuit with the light film.
Some high-end versions of the G-Class, such as the G500 and AMG G63, do offer the starlight headliner as an option. Last week at the 4S dealership, I saw a G63 in stock with a diamond-white roof embedded with fiber-optic lights that looked exceptionally refined. The salesperson mentioned it can be adjusted to 128 colors and 8 dynamic modes. However, the base G350 requires an additional 50,000 to 60,000 yuan for this option. Alternatively, it can be retrofitted later by removing the roof, but you'd need to find a professional shop and be mindful of potential wiring rattles. Honestly, a starlight headliner is quite rare in off-road vehicles. Lying inside the car on a rainy day and gazing at the starry sky creates an amazing atmosphere—just make sure to consider whether it's worth the cost.
Previously, I helped my boss retrofit a starlight headliner for an older G-Class. The factory only offered this feature on the Maybach version. Currently, the 4S store quotes 53,000 RMB for the optional installation, including meteor effects and zoned lighting control. My personal suggestion is that if you really want it, it's better to buy a pre-configured vehicle with this option. Retrofitting afterward requires removing the entire headliner, and aftermarket parts often suffer from light leakage. From a practical standpoint, this is purely an emotional purchase. It would be more worthwhile to spend the money on a Burmester sound system or premium leather interior.
