Dark green olive Magno with Sage Grey interior and Light Brown zen wood.

Positives:

A personal design choice, but I love this new sage grey interior. The gwagon interior is always a little dark. So love the lightness and airiness.

Love the new center console, feels more roomy and luxurious.

Auto unlock of doors and even trunk is a game changer.

The audio is soooo soo much better. Louder, clearer bass. More enveloped sound. And dolby atmos is even better from apple music app.

LED vents, dunno why they aren't in the rear?

Less wind noise.

Feels more responsive and anecdotally steering seems better? But i have not floored it yet.

New animated door lights are dope.

Factory black steps and exhaust tips are good additions..

Love the Gold rims.

Dash cam is good quality.

manfakturer lettering on the grab handle in silver.

Proper LKA now.



Undecided:
Engine sound is a new change, seems more industrial sounding and less like a traditional truck.

Driving screen is a little confusing. And trying to see things like trip and tire pressure is a little convoluted. Gonna take some adjusting.


Negatives:

Backup camera too low and kinda makes me feel dizzy reversing. Gonna take a while to adjust. Same with front camera.

Wish they got rid of the gloss plastic on the door and center console buttons. Both should be metal.

Unpleasant odor. An unpleasant smell emanates from the carpet and foam underneath. My old g had this too but less intense. So seems to be a G thing. Anyone else experience?

Cannot work out how to connect to a data plan in the car? Only tether to phone.
Congratulations! I don’t notice any smell, but I’m using the all weather floor mats. There’s no WiFi plan, only car play from your phone. I don’t feel the back up camera makes me dizzy. The exhaust is too quiet in my opinion compared to my 21 and 24.

What do the animated door lights look like? Can you share a picture or video? TIA

I got the GK2 - G logo Black package so I didn’t have the silver keyhole on the door handle.

They come with the logo projectors that say “ G Stronger than time” which I think is a little much for me. I’m probably going to swap them out and was wondering what options I had.

I have the standard G logo on the mirrors and ordered the Mercedes logo projector when you open the doors.
