Overview & Reviews
A more powerful engine finds its way into the 2009 Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The new G550 trim level replaces last year's G500 and has a 5.5-liter 382-horsepower V8. The G55 AMG is also a bit more powerful this year and now boasts 500 hp. Both the G550 and G55 AMG get a new grille design and a few minor interior tweaks. Additional standard equipment includes multi-contouring and ventilated front seats and a new COMAND system complete with high-tech features like a hard-drive-based navigation system, an iPod interface and HD digital radio.
- Go-anywhere off-road capability, potent V8 engines, surprisingly quiet on the highway.
- Expensive, heavy steering and accelerator pedal efforts, guzzles gasoline, not much cargo room, finicky COMAND electronics interface.

2009 G-CLASS - 2009 Mercedes-Benz G-Class
By BERGTOLD - March 13 - 5:00 amI bought the new G because i was tired of all the 09 vehicles looking alike. well the G is all I hoped it would be as well as fun to own and drive. its not for everyone but its the ideal vehicle for me. THE ONLY NEGATIVE- IT GETS TOO MUCH ATTENTION.
