Advanced performance comes from a high-output engine with a remarkably compact size. The 416-hp 4.0L biturbo V8 is more responsive than some larger engines, making 100% of its 450 lb-ft of peak torque available from 2,000-4,750 rpm, for a 5.6-second 0-60 rush and instant response at any speed.
With its 9-speed automatic transmission and two transfer-case ranges, the G-Class offers one of the widest spans of gear ratios of any SUV. So whether you're crawling down a steep hill or cruising on the highway, there's an optimum gear for the situation.
Ground clearance is 9.5 inches, while fording depth is up to 27.5 inches. It can climb an astounding 100% grade (45 degrees of incline), and handle a 70% lateral slope (35 degrees of sideways tilt). A modern independent front/rigid-axle rear suspension is engineered for excellent wheel articulation.
The independent front suspension maintains the G's legendary off-road capability while enhancing on-road control and comfort. The double-wishbone/coil-spring design features forged aluminum knuckles and lower control arms to reduce unsprung mass.
For better performance and packaging, the V8's twin turbos are placed inside the "V" of the engine. The layout sends the compressed charge from each turbo to its bank of cylinders via an extremely short path, with near-zero pressure loss or turbo lag.
A crisp, high-resolution screen uses a high pixel count, a fast refresh rate and automatic adjustment to ambient light to provide seamless display.
In addition to fingertip buttons for audio, Bluetooth® and cruise control, smartphone-like pads offer direct control of nearly every cockpit feature.
Using GPS technology and a fast hard drive to store maps and points of interest, this virtual copilot provides detailed driving directions with remarkable speed.
10-way power adjustment and a memory system for each front seat recalls three stored seat positions with the touch of a button.
Electrically heated outboard rear seats quickly offer soothing warmth to the outboard rear-cabin passengers.
Activated charcoal filtration teams with an ionizer that uses an electrical charge to create the same fresh-air sensation you experience after a summer storm.
In refinement and detail, the G is brilliantly evolved: Subtly radiused surfaces enhance cabin room while preserving its classic proportions. Advanced LED technology powers its signature round headlamps.
AMG® styling elements include wider fender flares, and chrome trim elements in the front and rear bumpers. The body-side protective strips feature an all-black motif with the Night Package and Night Package Plus.
Bold, all-black 5-spoke wheels feature an 18-inch size and 265/60R18 all-terrain tires that reassert the off-road capability of the G 550.
