• 
  AGEING BEAUTIFULLY: The new 2013 Mercedes G-Class - once just called the Gelandewagen - has kept (perhaps even improved) the chunky looks of its predecessors.
• 
  STATION-WAGON WITH CLOUT: This is the G63 model of the 2013 range already in showrooms - five seats, 4.66m long from nose to exterior spare wheel and 300kW/760Nm on call.
• 
  STILL A CUBE: No soft lines for the G-Class - but it'll still reach 210km/h and 0-100 in 5.4sec.
• 
  INSTANT IDENTITY: The nose of the G63 comes with giant air scoops to feed its 5461cc bi-turno V8.
• 
  TOUCH OF COLOUR: If you see the red brake callipers, back off at the lights no matter what you're driving or you'll be embarrassed.
• 
  REVISED INSTRUMENTS: The new G-Class comes with a fresh facia image that includes a man-sized info screen (image reversed from LHD).
• 
  THE DIALS TELL THE STORY: Not only is the G-Class a superb off-roader, it's also a very swift inter-city cruiser.
• 
  BIG-SCREEN ENTERTAINMENT: All the travelling data in full colour - including wheel articulation and off-road performance figures.
• 
  SPACE MACHINE: There's no lack of legroom for driver or passengers in the latest G-Wagen.
• 
  PERFORMANCE UNDER CONTROL: Sports seats with plenty of body grip.
• 
  THE ART OF THE HEART OF THE MATTER: Every AMG-assembled engine has the name of the techie who built it on a plate on the engine cover.
