A Mercedes-Benz Mercedes-AMG G-Class driver unintentionally convinces others to buy none of the vehicles that the company brings on the market as a ‘luxury icon’.
In a Tiktok that has generated more than 309,000 views from this writing, Trey Stewart (@Treyastewart) says that the 2022 G-car, as the G-Class is usually called, lacks functions that you would expect for a car with such a high price tag.
“I’m going to show you everything I hate my g-wagon,” Stewart begins. He says that he will block his husband to see the tap, so he doesn’t hear: “I didn’t tell you.”
The Show-and-Tell Roast starts with Stewart, which shows the large infotainment system. Instead of a touchscreen, it is checked with a button on the console.
“This is not great,” he says.
Then Stewart reveals that the sunroof is manual. There is no way to open it automatically. “This is not a problem, but for 150k it is annoying,” says Stewart.
He also says that the microfiber on the sunroof is extremely hot.
Continuous, Stewart, who bought the G-Wagon pro-owner, says that the seats are not a perforated leather that many would expect from a luxury vehicle.
“I sweat so much on these seats,” says Stewart.
He then shows an analog clock on the dashboard that he says it is useless.
“I think you could have given me a button for the sunroof instead of the clock,” he says.
Finally, Stewart claims that it is difficult to connect to Apple CarPlay. Instead of a wireless connection, you must connect your phone to activate CarPlay.
‘Too expensive Jeep’
Viewers were disbelief about the lack of characteristics.
“Thank you for inflating me to buy a car that I will never pay for, but now I don’t have to fantasize about it,” said one.
“I immediately lost myself to the lack of touchscreen,” another shared.
“Too expensive jeep,” wrote a third.
Many said that the cheaper cars they drive are supplied with these functions, even in standard models.
“My $ 10k truck has a touchscreen, automatic sunroof and perforated leather seats! I am now ecstatic,” said one.
“My 40 -big car has a button for the sunroof,” added another.
“My 2024 Toyota Corolla has a touchscreen and more beautiful seats than this”, a third in.
How does the tech rank?
For a steep price tag it could be assumed that the car has exceptional technology everywhere. However, the G-Wagon falls short in Stewart’s spirit.
According to Kelley Blue BookThe original sticker price for a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon from 2022 was $ 180,150. In the past three years, the vehicle has written off 25 percent, which means it has a current resale value of $ 133,959.
Edmunds the G-Wagon’s Technology assessed 6.5 out of 10. “The G-Class is attached to the old Mercedes-Benz Comand Infotainment System instead of the newer MBUX. It is not a bad system, but it is relatively limited in functionality,” ” Edmunds reported. ((commander stands for cockpit management and data.)
The report stated that the navigation display and the assignments are less advanced and speech assignments are limited and picky.
“There is strength and authority from behind the wheel, but this SUV is a mess when it comes to ergonomics and usability. The technology is also a disappointment,” ” Edmunds added.
JD Power Also reported that the old Mercedes-Benz Infotainment System Comand is struggling with voice recognition and said that the lack of a touchscreen is a Downer. Without a touchscreen, the driver is forced to look down and away from the road to use a central button on the console noticed.
“The control button is simple enough to turn and press, but the surrounding touch-shoe-shoe buttons live under rinsed shiny-black surfaces, making it almost impossible to use them through memory and feeling,” wrote JD Power.
Stewart told Engine“A G-Wagon no longer goes war, it goes to Whole Foods. For the amount of money that people pay for these cars, I am surprised that Mercedes has not previously equipped them with better technology.”
