Mercedes-Benz G500 uses an eight-cylinder V8 engine. Taking the Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2020 G500 as an example, its body dimensions are: length 4857mm, width 1931mm, height 1962mm, wheelbase 2890mm, front track 1619mm, rear track 1620mm. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2020 G500 is equipped with a 9-speed automatic transmission, with a maximum horsepower of 421, maximum power of 310kW, and maximum torque of 610Nm. It adopts a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a solid axle non-independent rear suspension.
Last time I drove my friend's Mercedes-Benz G500, I clearly remember it had a V8 engine with a full 8 cylinders. The acceleration and push-back feeling were truly exhilarating. Overtaking on the highway was effortless, and during off-roading, the low-end torque was massive, making hill climbs rock-solid. However, the fuel consumption is relatively high, around 15 liters per 100 km in city driving. Compared to the AMG version G63, which also has 8 cylinders but with more aggressive tuning, the G500's power is sufficient for daily use. If you're after an adventurous feel, the responsiveness of an 8-cylinder engine is key. Regular maintenance like oil changes and air filter replacements is essential, and avoid prolonged idling to prevent carbon buildup.
