PSA: Not all 2020+ G63 Have Digital Dash

For 2020, MBUSA made the digital dash a standard feature for the G63 (2019 it was a $850 option).

From my observations, the vast majority of buyers want the digital dash, and very few 2019 cars were delivered without them.

However, I've now seen several 2020 G63 that are missing the digital dash and have the old analog one, despite it being a standard feature. Since most people want the digital dash, just want to remind people to double check if a 2020 G63 that they are looking to buy actually has the option that they want.

Example: https://www.cargurus.com/Cars/invent...ting=264055644

Also, this is the first time I've seen a car where a standard feature was not actually guaranteed to be standard. Really unsure what's happening.

interesting. I know that the G Project Office is having some challenges lately, especially with the items marked as "new" in the 2020 Order Guide; however, not including a standard feature is odd. I guess that is what happens when MB let's a plant run in Austria without enough supervision!

Maybe in 2021 they make it optional along with things such as the bull bar.

Is it confirmed that these are in fact 2020 year models?

The listing says single owner vehicle.

personally I prefer the analog dash... plus, if that screen ever goes black (like my COMAND infotainment screen did in the first 2 weeks) you’re having a difficult day on the road.

I'm willing to bet that's really a 2019.

2 of the 3 G63 with this issue that I've seen, including the one I linked, have the AMG drive unit. AMG drive unit was not introduced until the 2020 model year.

The odometer area by the steering wheel would be a screen similar to the center area if it was the digital cluster. Gives a much more modern look and high tech feel.

Some really like the traditional look of analog, but vast majority (and for resale) prefer digital screen.

I'm brining back this from the dead. I'm in the market for G550 and I saw that the dealer had one with the analog gauge cluster vs the full digital one? Are there many problems with the full digital display going black?
