The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
This one will go just about anywhere on the planet.
By Phil Berg, NewCarTestDrive.com
Our appreciation for craftsmanship attracts us to the G-wagen, which is nearly as hand-built as a Rolls-Royce sedan. Even though hand assembly doesn't always guarantee high quality, all of the G-wagens we've driven, both overseas and in the U.S., appeared to have had very high assembly quality. This is reflected in the G500's well-controlled behavior on nasty surfaces.The G500 compares in concept with the Land Rover Discovery and Range Rover, and the Toyota Land Cruiser and Lexus LX470. Those are the intended competiton for the G500. The G500 is overbuilt, over-capable and, like most heavy-duty trucks, it gives you the sense it will last three times as long as a mundane passenger car. Like every vehicle with roots in military design, it's expensive and heavy and stiff. |

Overview:
|
Mercedes-Benz has officially introduced its Gelandewagen to the U.S. The G-Class presents a utilitarian appearance with flat glass and flat body panels made of thick steel. It backs that up with its truck-based ladder-frame, permanent four-wheel drive, and a heavy-duty off-road suspension. The G prefix comes from the German word "Gelandewagen," which roughly translates to off-road car. The U.S. gets the top model, loaded with luxury features and the Mercedes 5.0-liter V8. Its progenitor was born from a request by the Shah of Iran for some military vehicles. The Shah's existing military vehicles were too slow and cumbersome on normal roads, so Mercedes designed a sturdy utility vehicle that was ready for production by 1979. By then, however, the Shah had been deposed. Next, the Argentine army came to Mercedes, looking for an off-road car. Strained relations with Britain had prevented the Argentines from buying British Land Rovers, so there was pent-up demand. The current generation began production in 1989 and was revised last year, but overall, the looks haven't changed.
