2007 vs 2008

jl88 · 11-24-2010, 06:40 AM

I'm trying to spot the differences between the 2007 and 2008 G500's. Some of the 2007's have the old instrument panel while other 2007s have the new one (2 displays, narrow, vertical arrangement). Any other differences?

Reversing camera, new version of the COMAND (though an even newer version was introduced in 2009), rear lights, xenon headlamps.

I just went through this and wanted the 08 due to the rear camera. I found a CPO 07 with under 15,000 miles and throught it was a smart buy. The 07 has the updated command (02-06 had the old system ). The only other differences are the gauges were updated and the tail lights. MB did start the changes mid 07 and if you can find a 07 with a build date after June 07, it will have the 08 changes.
