Mercedes invited Dan and I on a 500 kilometer road trip through France and Spain, in one

of their brand new 2018 Mercedes G-Classes.

様態の副詞

The Mercedes vehicles are pretty impressive, especially if you're into the luxury off-roading

The thing I'm most excited about is the 3 locking differentials – not just one or

Lucky for us, Mercedes is letting us take these off-road in some pretty extreme conditions,

[Dan] We're literally on a cliff right now.

[Zack] Obviously we've already done some pretty heavy driving in this, but I'm going to run

So this is pretty much the same design as the previous Mercedes G-Classes, except for

they've managed to shave a hundred and seventy kilograms off of the total weight, which is

It still has the same iconic markers on the side, which, side note, is actually pretty

If this ever hits a pedestrian, this whole thing will collapse inside the frame, not

damaging the light, and more importantly, not damaging the pedestrian.

Same iconic grille with Mercedes logo and the same relative boxy shape that the normal

G-Classes have always had for the last 30 years.

One thing Mercedes has bragged about is the same style of door handles they've always

This is the G 500, and there's also a G 63, and I'll talk about those more in a bit.

So inside of the back, you can tell we've been driving for a minute, we have the same

And inside the car, these seats actually fold completely flat.

So we can lift these up, set these down, and there's a lot of room for activities back

The thing I'm most excited about though, is the triple locking differentials.

Not only one in the rear, but there's also one in the front and one in the middle, and

So every car has something called a differential that's in between the two tires that lets

My truck, my Toyota Tacoma, has a rear locker, which means that it can lock the differential

and make the tires spin together at the same time.

Which helps you get out of sticky situations.

Let's say you're in a patch of mud and one tire is spinning, the other tire won't move

So with a locker, it makes it so that both tires have to move at the same time, which

means that if this one is spinning, it transfers the power to the one that's not spinning and

So in this G-Class undercarriage right here, we have the front of the car, and here we

have the rear differential with the locker, which is pretty standard on off-road cars.

But we also have a center locking differential here, which means that the front and rear

tires won't spin independently of each other.

They will all have to spin at the same speed at the same time.

And then this G-Class also has a front differential with a locker.

Basically with all of those lockers you'll just never get stuck in a G-Class.

But rather than just talk about the locking differentials, how about we show you how they

So inside the G-Class we have a plethora of buttons - these control the seats over here.

We have two big monitors which I'll talk about in a second.

But right now we're going to talk about these dynamic select programs.

Here we have, obviously, you're basic slippery individual comfort Sport and Sport Plus modes.

But, if we jump down here into the differentials, and we put on the center lock, then it brings

So we have the regular trail mode, and then we also have a rock mode.

And each one of those...the tires act differently depending on what mode it's set to.

And also, if you check right here as I'm moving this steering wheel, you can see the angle

of the front tire as I turn the steering wheel back and forth.

So most of the cars I've driven have the exhaust coming out the back, and it sounds, you know,

But here in this Mercedes G-Class, the exhaust sounds completely different.

And first of all, it comes out the side right next to the back passenger rear tire.

And secondly, it sounds more like a Harley-Davidson motorcycle than anything else.

So right now we have the G-Class 500 and we're going to take it off-roading up into these

This one...it doesn't have the side rails, and it doesn't have those tail pipes that

So the sound of this 500 is quite a bit different than the 63 that we were in before.

But this one is better for off-roading because it has that additional ground clearance.

It's time to see how it handles for real though.

So even though we're going uphill right now, and I can't see the road directly underneath

me, we have the camera here which can see the road directly underneath me and it can

Which to my eyes, looking over the bonnet or looking over the hood, I can't see over

So it's nice to have these additional cameras.

So one thing that I've noticed, taking this G-Class off-road...remember, this is the 500,

is that it is super super quiet when I'm driving.

The only thing you can hear is the sound of the engine as it's revving.

There's no wind noise, there's no nothing else.

And that's because the cab of the vehicle is air tight...like it's water tight.

You can feel it when the doors are slammed, you can feel the pressure of the car.

So right now we're going over this muddy terrain area in front of us, and there's a huge puddle

And it's kind of crazy because the water level... as we get deeper, the water level is going

to come up to the doors and the doors should stay water tight.

Looking out through the door right here, you can see how deep...you can see how deep it

And there's zero water getting inside of the cab.
