Mercedes Benz Gwagen

2002 September, Frankfurt Show: "[...] new model version of the left-hand drive only G-Class series. The new G270 CDI features a state-of-the-art 5-cyl diesel engine with common rail direct injection, four valves per cylinder and a VNT turbocharger." [-M.B.]

2000

2000 September: An updated G-class (G-wagen) Mercedes Benz was shown at the Paris Motor Show, suggesting that there's a deal of life left in Mercedes Benz's older four wheel drive.

There is new interior trim, a new dashboard, instrument panel and centre console. Engine options include a "V8 diesel engine (184 /250 hp) featuring common-rail direct injection, water-cooled intercooler and twin turbochargers which recently made its debut in the Mercedes-Benz S-class." Still on offer are the petrol 3.2-litre V6 in the G320, and 5-litre V8 in the G500.

The G-class is not currently imported into Australia (it has been), but "right hand drive production of G-class is likley to commence late in 2001 and DCAuP is currently evaluating sales prospects for Australia."
