2019 G Class Quick Impressions
Everyone,
I just visited the 2019 G63 at the NY Auto Show.
First impressions....AWESOME!
Still feels very solid, much like the old one. Happy that it retains that feel, as a lot of the Newer MB Models don't feel like older generations.
Interior Space is a massive improvement. Super comfortable, and much more shoulder space. Even the driving position is much better.
Looks amazing in person, better than the photos. The one at the auto show didn't have the New Brush-Bar, however I think the Bar will look much better in person, and will definitely grow on me.
This truck is going to have much more demand than the current G, as I suspect the ride quality is going to be much better. And given the improvement in the interior, it is going to sell like crazy. MB Manhattan already has 60 (SIXTY) deposits on the G550/G63!
I don't think the "enthusiast" in all of us is going to be disappointed for sure when the production models come out this fall.

Well that's good news. Can't wait to see....and drive....one. Interior room and driving position are important considerations for me. I think you are right about these new models flying out of dealer showrooms. Thanks for the update.

I would guess that you are not far off with the 75% estimate if judging by my own experience. I purchased my truck for myself as an additional vehicle to my E Cab and E sedan. Now the lady of the house won't drive anything but the G. Go figure. She is way past the "soccer mom" category though.

benzo started advertising them. sort of. i was watching the masters this afternoon and there was an advert for benzo and they were using an image of the new g-rig without referencing it directly.

Regardless, people leave deposits all the time for new models, and end up cancelling when their allocation actually comes (might have deposits at other dealers/finances change/moving/etc.).
The 60 includes both the 550/63 as well.

Thanks for the heads up. Haven't interacted with any of the new models so wasn't aware MBRACE offered remote start. Have my deposit down in SF. Was 3rd on the list as of 3 weeks ago. Any word on when the order books or delivers might be expected. Hopefully dealers start to get a showroom sample sooner than later. Were the NYC show cars US Spec or were they the same specs we've seen all around. Still curious if they are going to have side markers on US Spec versions. Any pics or video worth sharing?
Thanks again for the first hand review.

I’m thinking of putting a deposit down for G63 . I’m assuming these are not on allocation (certain qty) to dealerships, correct?
Also any ideas when configurator will be up? I can’t find it anywhere on the web right now...cheers!

Dealers already have the Ordering Guide, so go to your local MB dealer to find out more.

G63 here we go
Dealers currently have the ability to place orders, and to configure. You probably won't find a configurator on the MBUSA site until the New G is officially for sale, or shortly before.

Pricing WON'T be out until closer to the release date of the actual truck.
Generally, the G's come out in early/late fall, so probably September-November.
I have seen some production dates as early as July, so maybe August.
It's a crapshoot at this point.
