2 Answers
A Mercedes-Benz G-Class has a height of 1968mm. The 'Big G' refers to the Mercedes-Benz G-Class, which is a mid-to-large SUV. The vehicle has a length of 4866mm and a width of 1931mm, with a wheelbase of 2890mm. It features a double-wishbone independent front suspension and a solid axle rear suspension, with a front-engine four-wheel-drive layout. In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is equipped with a 5.5-liter V8 engine, delivering a maximum power of 382 horsepower and a peak torque of 530 Nm, paired with a 9-speed automatic transmission. For safety configurations, it includes manual differential locks, a transmission with off-road reduction ratio, air suspension, and the 4ETS four-wheel-drive electronic traction system.
I think the height of the G-Class is quite impactful for daily use, generally around 1960mm, roughly 1.96 meters. When I drive this car for urban commuting, the visibility is indeed unbeatable—much higher than sedans, allowing me to see far ahead at traffic lights. However, the trouble comes with parking. Many mall parking garage entrances have a height limit of 2 meters, so I always have to slow down and test the clearance, worried about scraping the roof. Off-road, this height is very practical, with a minimum ground clearance of 241mm, making it easy to navigate bumps and potholes. The only downside is that it feels a bit unstable at high speeds due to crosswinds. After installing an underbody skid plate, the stability improved significantly. Overall, for adventure lovers, this height is a plus.
