The differences between the 2020 and 2019 Mercedes-Benz models include ambient lighting, exterior design, and style. Exterior differences: The 2020 Mercedes-Benz G550 has a boxy appearance, "exuding dominance." The more rugged details and components that seem out of place in modern urban life are precisely what make the Mercedes-Benz G most appealing. The trunk further highlights this characteristic, with ample space ensuring its strong loading capacity—it can even accommodate four people without issue. The protruding wheel arches can also serve as temporary seats. Style differences: The 2020 Mercedes-Benz G550 retains its original tough-guy style while showcasing more agility and fashion, making it one of the most sought-after models. The spare tire's mounting position on the 2020 G550 also differs from the standard version due to the redesigned tailgate. The side rub strips running along the waistline enhance the vehicle's muscular profile and provide obvious protection for the door panels. The spacious and open interior already feels liberating, while the uniquely elevated seating position ensures you maintain an excellent all-around view at all times.
Last year when I helped a friend choose a car, I researched these two Mercedes models. The 2020 model has many improvements over the 2019 version. The most noticeable exterior change is the front fascia - the 2020 model features a newly designed diamond grille that's wider and more aggressive than the 2019 version, along with upgraded Multibeam LED headlights that significantly improve nighttime illumination. For the interior, the 2020 model comes standard with dual 12.3-inch widescreen displays across all trims, while the base 2019 model still had a smaller screen - this difference is quite obvious. Functionally, the 2020 version upgraded to the MBUX system with smarter voice assistant and added gesture control for the sunroof. The powertrain saw little change, though the 2020 E300 added a 48V mild hybrid system that makes start-stop smoother in traffic. If the budget allows, definitely go for the 2020 model - the new system alone is worth the price difference.
