The best views lie on dangerous peaks. The most beautiful scenery exists in the riskiest places. This requires a fearless heart. It needs a spirit of exploration and trusted partners.
SUVs symbolize outdoor adventures and comfort. They embody the spirit of freedom and exploration. Mercedes-Benz boasts strong R&D capabilities. It offers a rich lineup of fuel and electric SUVs. The “Heaven and Earth Journey” is Mercedes-Benz’s flagship event for customers. It has run for ten years. The Mercedes-Benz SUV family has traveled across China. Through deep test drives and explorations, it creates journeys that showcase the brand’s spirit and product performance.
Changbai Mountain is a legendary place in Chinese culture. It embodies the spirit and beliefs of the Chinese nation. The Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV complements this setting perfectly. This time, we follow Mercedes-Benz. We drive through the roads and forests of Changbai Mountain. We experience the SUV family models, including Mercedes-Benz, Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Maybach, and the G-Class.
We experienced the powerful off-road performance of the Mercedes G 63 during the exclusive G-Class Only off-road event. The G 63 excels in off-road capability. It features three differential locks, low-range four-wheel drive, and a sturdy ladder frame. Its strong power and traction shine in challenging environments. We faced water crossings, mud, cross-axle situations, and steep inclines. Despite being a G-Class Only event, we did not engage any locks. The low-range four-wheel drive showed no interest in the challenges ahead.
With such natural terrain, control the throttle well. Leave the rest to G! The G 63 AMG features an AMG 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbo engine. It delivers 585 horsepower and 850 Nm of torque. The transmission uses an AMG SPEEDSHIFT TCT 9-speed gearbox. It offers eight driving modes, including “Sport” and “Sport Plus.”
The classic G-Class design merges with AMG style. It is impeccable. I pondered a topic: where does the emotional value of a classic luxury car come from? The AMG grille, AMG body components, AMG brake calipers, and the unique IWC analog clock all impress. The AMG performance steering wheel with the AMG control unit captivates. From ignition, the alluring exhaust note enchants everywhere.
The G-Class SUV stands as a totem in the rugged off-road realm. It sets the standard. The G-Class is a legend in the off-road world. It offers customers more possibilities. At this event, we saw the G 500 Heritage Edition and the G 500 Brilliant Legend Special Edition. A brilliant diamond adorns the door lock. The classic “boxy” shape, which has endured for 45 years, stirs emotions. The iconic round headlights catch the eye. The trapezoidal turn signals on the hood draw attention. The exposed mechanical door handles add character. The unique sound of the door closing resembles a bullet being chambered.
On the road, we experience the GLE Coupe SUV’s elegant rear curves. The slightly raised tail connects smoothly. I believe Mercedes embodies a luxurious elegance. Their sporty models add a dynamic quality without losing sophistication. The GLE Coupe SUV features the intelligent 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. It can distribute torque between the front and rear axles from 0 to 100%. It also includes air suspension for a smoother ride over rough terrain. Paired with the GLE 450 4MATIC’s 2.5L six-cylinder engine and 9-speed automatic transmission, it balances sportiness and comfort across different driving modes.
Don’t forget the pure electric models from the Mercedes-Benz SUV family: the Maybach EQS SUV and the EQE SUV. Due to time constraints, I couldn’t test drive the EQ series. During my ride in the Maybach EQS SUV, I felt a strong sense of luxury. The 1.41-meter MBUX hyper screen in the front comes from Mercedes. Just as Mercedes invented the car, it continues to create stunning innovations. Sitting in the rear’s first-class seats, I listened to music from the Berlin Sound 4D surround system. I enjoyed the ambiance it provided. From experiencing culture to sensing the world, I hope more users will join you on the journey of exploration in the future.
