Mercedes Benz G350d – Powertrain
Engine
The iconic SUV is powered by the OM656 2.9 liter straight six turbodiesel engine that is found in the S-Class, CLS, GLE, GLS. It features two-stage turbocharging, Nanoslide® coating of cylinder walls, and for the first time, Camtronic variable valve-lift control. In terms of output, the OM656 produces 286 PS @3,400 rpm to 4,600 rpm and 600 Nm of torque @1,200 rpm to 3,200 rpm.The G-Wagen comes equipped for the first time with dynamic engine mounts. These dynamic mounts can instantly and variably adapt their rigidity at different speeds to the driving conditions for improved vibrational comfort and driving dynamics. Soft engine mounts provide more decoupling of vibration and make it more comfortable. Meanwhile, handling benefits from stiffer mounts as there is more feedback.
Transmission
The G350d receives the 9G-TRONIC gearbox as the sole choice of transmission. It is a 9-speed hydrodynamic torque converter unit that offers smoother shifting for a more comfortable drive. The nine-gear automatic also improves fuel economy dramatically due to its lightweight and compact size, saving around 6.5 percent on fuel consumption.Furthermore, on top of that, having more gears than needed gives you an advantage. You can drive very fast without being high up in the rpm range. The gearbox will keep engine revs low by shifting gears early, offering smooth gear changes for a comfortable ride This too optimizes efficiency.
The transmission features selectable driving modes and drivers can shift gears manually using the steering-wheel mounted paddle shifters. While increasing comfort, the lower revs also reduce the noise level. In addition, the 9G-TRONIC is also able to jump gears while downshifting, so you’re able to get quick and powerful acceleration.
Chassis
The Mercedes Benz G350d is built on a robust, 3.4 mm thick sheet steel ladder frame which is usually reserved for pick-up trucks. This is because it is significantly better suited for tough off-road use. This has been the tradition for all G-Class of the past. In addition, the separation of noise sources from the chassis and the carriageway provides for a quieter interior and enhanced ride comfort.The suspension type used is a combination of Double Wishbone for the front and rigid axle in the rear. The wishbone mounting points are located high up in the chassis in order to maximize off-roading ground clearance. At the rear, the rigid axle is guided by four longitudinal control arms on each side, and a Panhard rod to dampen lateral movement. All four corners can be adjusted with the adaptive damping system.
Drivetrain
The Mercedes Benz G350d sold in Malaysia comes with all-wheel drive system that provides a 40:60 torque split. It has three combinations of differential locks: Front, Rear, and Both. All these modes can be selected with the buttons located in between the middle air-con vents, below the infotainment screen.Mercedes-Benz G-Class 2020 Features:
