A duel between 4×4 colossi: Mercedes G-Class Vs. Land Rover Defender
The mercedes g-class It was uncovered from the beginning as a true bully, excuse me for the license, but despite being the most luxurious focus car and the highest price, the G-Class offers a technical recipe worthy of the best SUVs the market has ever seen. Its remarkable off-road dimensions are combined with a efficient all-wheel drive system that has a reduction gear and triple differential lockwhich together with highly refined electronics to govern the entire powertrain, have allowed it to survive all our obstacles… even with ease at times.
But in front of the German SUV we find ourselves at a Land Rover Defender It’s not going to make things easy for you. The second generation of the Defender is committed to an approach closer to the fashionable family SUVs, however this does not mean that the Defender continues to be by right one of the great references in the off-road market. At the chassis level, it has managed to assert its excellent levels, levels that have also benefited from the solvency provided by an air suspension like the one installed in this British SUV. But not content with this, Land Rover has equipped the Defender with a sophisticated all-wheel drive system that boasts the best off-road traction control, as well as the possibility of incorporate reduction and locking of the central and rear differentials.
