What is the difference between G350 and G500?
1 Answers
G350 and G500 differ in their engines and fuel consumption. The specific differences between G350 and G500 are as follows: 1. Engine: Unlike the gasoline-powered 8-cylinder engine of the G500, the G350 is equipped with a diesel-powered 6-cylinder engine. The G350's engine model is M276, with a power output of 225 KW and torque of 300 N/M; the G500's engine model is M278, with a power output of 320 KW and torque of 500 N/M. Although this configuration has been present in previous generations, the domestic Chinese version has not been released after the recent facelift. The main reason for this is the upgrade of domestic emission standards this year, as diesel vehicles currently cannot meet the China VI emission standards in China. 2. Fuel Consumption: The G350 is a diesel version, while the G500 is a gasoline version. As a diesel-powered G-Class, the G350's advantages include fuel consumption that is only half of the G500's, lower fuel quality requirements, higher torque, stronger instantaneous burst power, and better climbing and off-road capabilities compared to the gasoline version. Of course, there are also disadvantages: Mercedes-Benz diesel vehicles are slightly noisier than gasoline vehicles. Additionally, diesel fuel has poorer freeze resistance compared to gasoline, so in some regions, different grades of diesel fuel need to be added to prevent freezing due to weather conditions. The G500, as a gasoline version, has advantages that contrast with the G350. It is quieter than the G350, has greater horsepower with outstanding performance in the latter stages, and freeze resistance is not an issue for gasoline vehicles. However, compared to the diesel version, the G500 also has disadvantages, such as double the fuel consumption, poorer range capability, and higher fuel quality requirements.
