The Mercedes-Benz G450d has quietly arrived in South Africa. Here’s how much this mildly electrified turbodiesel version of the latest G-Class will cost you…
The Mercedes-Benz G450d has touched down in South Africa, with this mild-hybrid turbodiesel derivative slotting into the latest G-Class range below the battery-powered G580 and the Mercedes-AMG G63.
Yes, the Geländewagen is now offered locally in 3 distinct flavours. We already know the fully electric G580 Edition One (432 kW/1 164 Nm) starts at R4 647 456 and Affalterbach’s V8-powered G63 kicks off at R4 673 415, but now we can tell you the price of the G450d, too.
Thanks to the ever-on-the-ball folks over at duoporta.com, we know the latest G450d – which is available exclusively in AMG Line guise in Mzansi – is priced from R3 590 303. For the record, that’s around R200 000 more than the G400d that did duty in the preceding G-Class range.
Of course, the G450d offers a fair bit more grunt that its 243 kW/700 Nm predecessor, with its 3.0-litre inline-6 turbodiesel motor now generating 270 kW and 750 Nm. Thanks to a new mild-hybrid system, there’s additional 15 kW/200 Nm available for short bursts, too.
Fitted with a 9-speed automatic transmission (with low-range) as standard, the G450d 4×4 will complete the 0-100 kph dash in a claimed 5.8 seconds, making it some 6-tenths quicker than the old G400d. Maximum speed is again limited to 210 kph, while the claimed combined fuel consumption figure stands at 9.4 L/100 km.
While Mercedes-Benz SA has yet to release a detailed specification list for the G450d (or indeed add this derivative to the local configurator), we do know from duoporta.com that it will ship standard with items like 20-inch alloy wheels (wrapped in 275/50 R20 tyres), adaptive suspension, adaptive cruise control, 9 airbags and a trio of differential locks (front, centre and rear).
