Introduction: The Durable Digital Cluster from Mercedes-Benz
It is impossible to talk about classics Mercedes-Benz without thinking about Class G. The muscular German utility vehicle, presented to the public for the first time in 1979, continues to be sold to this day, and has already exceeded 500 thousand units manufactured. However, what draws the attention of the consumer (and the competition, for that matter) is its great durability.
Vehicle Durability
According to Michael Schiebe, CEO of AMG and head of sales for Class G, around 80% of the utility vehicles made are still running today, a very large percentage. This translates into at least 400,000 of the 500,000 G-Classes already manufactured to this day still in service. “Our cars have a very long useful life,” said Schiebe.
Legacy on the Road
“So here you can calculate that although perhaps a Class G takes a little more material than a compact car to produce, I think you're going to have to drive many, many compact cars, in some cases, to achieve the same lifespan as a compact car. Class G”, concluded the CEO. This feat doesn't just happen within the Mercedes, since, according to porsche, 70% of the 911 made to date are still on the road.
The New Digital Cluster
However, the Mercedes never stopped reinventing the tough model. Recently, the brand presented its fully electric version, the G580 EQ. The model has four engines with 588 hp and an excellent 118.6 mkgf of torque. This contributes to a 0 to 100 km/h time of just 4.7 seconds.
Reinvention and Tradition
Finally, the new Class G electric can “reach customers who haven’t been attracted in the past,” Schiebe said. However, to the delight of purists, the Class G gasoline will continue to be offered. In addition, there is also the powerful AMG version, with the already familiar V8 engine.
