2019 G550 AND G63 PRICE?

For the diehard fans of the first generation G Class, the G Class Professional will continue to be made on the same assembly line in Austria. The retail price is a much lower price point, which leaves plenty of room for the cost of Federalization.

This is a very nicely equipped unit. Will probably go with the same options when I order mine. The price is where I thought we would be on the MY '19. I also have the same concerns about the steering. Looking forward to driving the new truck to experience the difference. We usually use the G for local runs but have taken it on one long trip and the steering does wear on you after a while. The trade off is that the higher ride height provides excellent visibility and of course the the load capacity is a big plus. I wouldn't be concerned about removing the brush guard. Once these things hit the road stay tuned to this forum. There will be many who will engineer the removal as their first step after taking ownership. I know I will! Good luck with your new ride. Hope the wait isn't too long. Anxious to hear your feedback once you take delivery.

my G550 delayed 7 months
My order is similar. I ordered it late April. The 3 orders my dealership prior to mine have already been built.
Just got a po number (not sure what it means) and build date 7/2/19 !!! How can that be? Any similar experiences?
Sounds like a very nice setup. I chose the base interior, since I’m kind of rough on interiors and complex stitching patterns don’t wear well for me. I would have gotten MB-TEX if I could. Although, I will miss not having the Dinamica headliner.
I’m not a fan of the brush guard either, but I may hold out to see if there is an actual functional brush guard in the aftermarket, otherwise it will be gone in due time. It’s the tires that I plan to change first. I’m thinking about the Yokohama Geolandar, which appears to offer a good combo of on/off road and snow performance.
P.S. My G is at the port awaiting for a ship assignment.

5. The main thing I am excited about on the new 19 G is the steering. With the old 1970s hydraulic recirculating-ball steering system, I always felt like I was going to drive off the road in sharp curves, and the thing just beat me up on long drives. Mercedes switched to a modern, variable-ratio rack-and-pinion steering system with adaptive electric power assist on the new 19 Gs so that is going to be sweet.

I am always so confused when owners or someone reviewing the G complains about the Steering. YES, it is not responsive and and NOT tight, but I do not see how one thinks the steering is punishing or hard to deal with! We have taken several Gs on LONG drives, across 4-5 states and the steering is comfortable, easy and predictable (once you understand a G).

Since 2002, we have had a G500, several G55, a 2016 G550 and many G63. The G500 and G550 had lighter steering, but not cumbersome. G63 feels the best. Turn radius sucks on ALL Gs, and your can move the steering wheel a lot left or right and the G will not move much (it looks kind of like I Love Lucy when they are pretending to be driving, LOL).

AFAIK, the PO means the it has it allocated to the dealer (for inventory or customer order), which also means it's on MB's schedule to be built. The next milestone would be getting the VIN, which happens much closer to the build date.

All cars should have it. And the G in particular.

BUT, that being said....I would buy another Rolls! Nothing makes you feel like a Rolls and nothing else on the road looks like a Rolls. I have always said....the Porsche 911, The G-Class and a Rolls-Royce; no one will ever not know what they are. Iconic and timeless.

A Cullinan? Wow, congrats. We saw it debuted here in L.A., a "secret" RR event. Stunning and HUGE! Between 2012 and 2015 our company had some amazing years.....and we had 3 new Phantoms and 2 new Ghosts. So gorgeous, and they all spent about as much time in the Service Dept. as they did in our garage or driving them :-O

Agreed. I had a 2014 Range Rover that nobody ever commented on (other than saying something like "nice Explorer").

My last Range Rover (had 4 before) was a Full Size Supercharged 2014. Amazing car, but my family called it the $100,000 Ford Explorer :-O Even some good friends used to say....Nice Explorer. I do hate how they look SO similar from several angles

There are 2 posting for 2019 G63 on bay for potential deliveries, prices are 175 and 183k. Listed option prices but not MSRP. I called the dealer who placed the post to verify, he is charging 20k over MSRP, he said that some dealers are asking 5ok over.
Base on this and prices of listed option price, I think that the MSRP for the G 63 should be around 145-147k
my dealer could not confirm the price but I have my VIN # on my car at port

Still a killer looking vehicle, which is why we will end up with two of them
