Mercedes-Benz showcased the G-Class Squared in India at the Auto Expo. The G500 4X4 Squared on display was Green in colour and was powered by a V8 engine.
The G500 4X4 Squared is based on the massive 6X6 pick-up truck
The car is based on the massive G63 6X6 pick-up truck that has a go-anywhere capability. The SUV gets a similar ground clearance, the same powertrain and the same axles. Two wheels and the flat bed have been removed. This means that this SUV still looks just as massive as the 6-wheeled vehicle and still has the same go-anywhere capability.
The G500 4X4 Squared is 2.25 metres long and 2.10 metres wide. It gets integrated LED light strips above the windscreen and exposed carbon fibre on the flared wheel arches.
Powering this beast is the same 4.0 litre biturbo V8 engine that is present in the AMG GT supercar. The approximate power output is 416 bhp at 6,250 rpm and 610 Nm of torque at 1,750 rpm. It is mated to a 7-speed automatic transmission and power is sent to all four wheels. It accelerates from a standstill to a 100 kmph in around 5.7 seconds and goes on to a top speed of 210 kmph. The twin pipes on both sides of the car give out a typical G-wagon V8 rumble.

The SUV has a go-anywhere capability and being an AMG, is as comfortable on the road as it is off it. Off road, the SUV comes on its own. The portal axles allow the beast to go over any obstacles thrown at it. It can easily conquer rocky ground and water thanks to a 450mm ground clearance and a wading depth of 1000mm. Three lockable differentials are present on the car. It gets new damper adjustments. The dampers are available in two modes (Sport and Comfort).
The SUV can go anywhere you want it to
