What transmission does the Mercedes-Benz G500 use?
2 Answers
Mercedes-Benz G500 uses a 9-speed automatic transmission, also known as a torque converter transmission, which connects to the engine via a torque converter and relies on planetary gears for shifting and torque conversion. The G500 is equipped with a 4.0L twin-turbocharged engine, with a maximum power output at 5250 rpm and maximum torque available between 2000 to 4750 rpm. The G500 is a mid-to-large-sized SUV with body dimensions of 4857mm in length, 1931mm in width, 1962mm in height, a wheelbase of 2890mm, and a fuel tank capacity of 100L.
The Mercedes-Benz G500 is one of my favorite cars I've ever driven. It comes standard with a 9-speed automatic transmission. What impressed me most during daily commutes is the smooth gear shifts, with almost no noticeable jerking. Even in traffic jams, the engine doesn't roar wildly but remains quiet and efficient. On weekends when I go to the suburbs for some light off-roading, switching to off-road mode makes the transmission respond particularly quickly, making climbing or descending steep roads effortless. Combined with its reliable and durable characteristics, I've never broken down halfway. I recommend friends who want to buy it to try the manual mode for shifting gears to add some driving fun, but overall, this transmission balances performance and fuel economy well, with quite fuel-efficient highway mileage of 100 kilometers.
