On the outside, the new G-Wagon boasts minor updates. This includes a redesigned bumper with vertical slats, dark chrome grille, rounded A-pillars and a new lip on the windshield. The side profile is largely the same with elegant alloy wheels, an upright stance, side steps for easier ingress and egress traits, and curve-less body panels.
