To distinguish a novelty from the predecessor is not so easy

Already very soon will be the debut of the new generation of Mercedes-Benz G-class, but his early pictures was posted in global network. Apparently, the designers decided to keep the familiar face of monumental SUV.

After appearing in the 2012 concept Mercedes-Benz Ener-G-Force, many were afraid that the future "Gaelic" would only remotely resemble their ancestors. But the revolution did not happen to distinguish the next model from the previous one only someone who already is familiar with the legendary German SUV.

The novelty is easiest to identify by the updated led headlights. Body panels were also changed, but to know about this only in direct comparison of two generations. The designers have done everything to keep the old image. There are even external hinge doors, which throughout the civilized world have long been considered anachronistic.

Meanwhile, technically, the G-class has been significantly redesigned. Engineers increased the stiffness of the frame at 34% and has increased the wheelbase, which increased the supply of space in the cabin. Now set the front independent suspension double wishbone.

No less than to radically change the interior. Designed from scratch the cabin resembles the interior of the E - and S-class. Now the front panel has two huge screen diagonal of 12.3 inches, but conservative buyers will be able to choose and the traditional dashboard with analog scales.

In the current form of the Mercedes-Benz G-class produced since 1990. Over the past 28 years, the car has been repeatedly modernized, but maintained the platform. While the first Bentley appeared at all in 1979.

Official presentation of new products scheduled for January 15.
