Hey Guys

So people have been talking one thread in particular G63 Facelift

When new features get added each region takes there G-Class for instance down to add features to this.

Mercedes Benz India have taken this down as I have access too all 53 Regions of configs. The news will break soon expect new MBUX to be added and few design changes I am running through the source code now will update if I find anything

would be nice , but I’m not holding my breath for any substantial undated or mbux for 2023

 

If you look at the interior renders, it's not MBUX. Model year 2023 is just another minor update. Looks like the India web team might just be a little misinformed.

 

clicked on link… whats new??? i cant tell. and 2023 are already being delivered with no changes

 

I don't think so the amount of research I have done with this look closely

 

Yes look at current e-brouchers they are for production in December 2022 nothing has been updated this for production in May India already opened up there build slots so did the UK market for new orders this just happens to prove my point of a face G Class with MBUX look at my list earlier

 

Mercedes has 53 region's of the e configuration when a vehicle gets updated it gets taken down for around 3-7 days then new parts or paints or prices get updated read my other posts MBUX is coming or a revision to something I spent the last 2 years on this as I love mercedes Benz and enough research infact every configuration has been checked

 

so in some regions they do come with a fire extinguisher ..

 

I have a Model Year 2023 G63 on a boat right now. Should be in my collection within the next 30-45 days.

Will let you know if there's anything major that's changed, but I do not expect any changes other than the dramatic increase in base MSRP.

 

you would know if anything changes on a car you ordered 🤨

 

I hope so!

 

I just reserved a slot a couple of weeks ago. My SA mentioned that the facelift is expected to be revealed later this year, May or June.

MY24 cars will have the facelift, new air intakes, revised bumpers and lighting design (mostly rear tailights) and MBUX update (new software and updated switchgear).

Got the expected delivery timeframe for sometime in March or April 2024.

 

That’s the prevalent rumor that the refresh will be MY24.

ADMs will be back with a vengeance with a refresh and MBUX haha.

 

Hasn’t that been the rumor every year for the past 2-3 years? Lol. Still don’t get the obsession with MBUX. I used it on a loaner one time and wasn’t impressed. Apple CarPlay is 100x better…

 

I don't care so much about the MBUX interface (CarPlay FTW) but do want touch screen which should also come with the system update hopefully

 

Haha basically people every year would post “next year is MBUX!!!” and the rest of us would be annoyed because the car just came out.

This time we actually have mules and spy pictures. Also with the eqg coming out it makes sense to update something.

Infotainment is the last of my concerns with the G. As long as I have CarPlay. I don’t want a touch screen because it’ll get dirty and it’s too far to reach.

 

Also, the rumor is that we won't be refreshing the G-Class with the AMG V8. So, if you want an AMG V8, this might be your last chance. (MY22, MY23)

 

I don't know where you get this rumor, but AMG specifically said they will sell V8s for the next 10 years (in 2022).
SL is coming with a V8 without any mild hybrid and why are you assuming there will be no V8?

The major reason why this car is selling is because it's a V8.

 

And Bentley said they'd continue selling the W12 engine through 2026... but this week they revised that to be April 2024.

So, things change. Whatever was said earlier in 2022 means nothing to me anymore.

 

dont agree. amg v8 will be made for a few more years.

 

Breaking News!
Only difference in 2023 G-Class compared to 2019-2022 is missing auto start stop function. Must have ran out of parts just like GM did in order to keep the production line of the Escalade moving.

 

Totally agree. Amg V8s will surely be around for a few more years. Albiet with some added EQ boost gimmickry and mild hybridization.

Not confirmed by my SA when I asked, but the MY24 facelift may include the EQ Boost system in the G63 V8s, like what we're seeing in the other recently launched AMG models.

 

Obviously, I hope you're all correct. Your optimism is admirable.

But, I doubt it. Every day, more car manufacturers are moving steps closer to an all electric (or majority electric) fleet.

Even Rolls-Royce will be phasing out their sweet V12 at the end of each model's lifetime (first one was Wraith --> Spectre) in favor of all-electric.

 

If this is true, its the best news

 

i wonder if there is a way to code it out on the cars that do have that non sense
