奔驰近日宣布,G级车未来仍将继续保持方正造型。奔驰G级车最近五年销量增长了三倍，2013年达到1.2万辆，因此未来G级车造型不会改变。戴姆勒CEO蔡澈宣布，“未来G级车仍将保持目前的外观。这是一辆不可复制的车型。”这款车还将至少生产八年，根据麦格纳-斯太尔和奔驰之间的协议，前者将为奔驰生产G级车直至2022年。不过，在2016年，G级车将进行升级以满足欧盟更严格的排放和行人安全标准。据奔驰内部人士透露，G级改款车宽度将增加10厘米，内部空间更宽敞，此外车顶将略有降低，因此稳定性将获得提升。

 

Mercedes-Benz confirms G-Class will keep the boxy look, update coming 2016

Mercedes-Benz has announced the iconic G-Class will live on with its unmistakable boxy shape.

 

Sales of the G-Class have gone up three times in the last five years to 12,000 cars in 2013 so it shouldn't come as a surprise the car's styling won't be alerted in the future. Daimler Chief Executive Officer Dieter Zetsche announced "it has to continue as it looks today" since "it's not a vehicle that pretends. The G-Class is the original."

 

The true off-roader will remain in production at least eight years from now as Magna Steyr has a contract with Mercedes-Benz to assemble the G-Class until 2022. However, some changes are being planned for 2016 since the vehicle will have to be updated to meet stricter EU regulations regarding emissions and pedestrian safety.

 

Automotive News is citing sources close to Mercedes-Benz who said the revised G-Class will be widened by 10cm, granting a more spacious interior cabin. In addition, the roof will be lowered a little bit while the stability is going to be improved as well.
