2 Answers
The differences between the Mercedes-Benz G350d and G500: 1. Different engines: The Mercedes-Benz G350d is equipped with a 3.0T turbocharged diesel engine; the G500 is equipped with a 4.0-liter V8 biturbo engine. 2. Different transmissions: The Mercedes-Benz G350d is paired with a 7-speed dual-clutch transmission; the G500 is paired with a 7-speed automatic transmission. 3. Different interiors: The Mercedes-Benz G350d continues the luxurious interior layout of the Mercedes-Benz family, with a multifunction steering wheel decorated with chrome buttons and dual-barrel LCD instrument panels, adding a touch of technological luxury; the G500 features a dual-tone color scheme, a new electronic gear shift lever surrounded by chrome physical buttons, and the multimedia adjustment buttons below are also chrome-decorated.
Last time I researched the two G-Class models, the G350d uses a 3.0L diesel engine with a maximum horsepower of 286hp, making it particularly suitable for long-distance off-roading, and its fuel consumption is significantly lower than gasoline models. The G500 is a completely different beast – with a 4.0L V8 biturbo gasoline engine producing 422hp, it accelerates from 0-100km/h in just 5.9 seconds, driving like a wild animal. For daily driving, the diesel engine is noticeably noisier, but it delivers exceptional low-end torque during off-roading. The price difference is quite substantial, with the diesel version being over 200,000 RMB cheaper, yet both offer similarly luxurious configurations. Choose the diesel for practicality, or go for the gasoline if you crave thrilling acceleration.
