Mercedes-Benz has revealed the details of its facelifted G-Class.

The line-up of engines is carried over as is, with the exception of the G500, which is now powered by a 4,0-litre V8 turbocharged engine. Power is rated at 310kW and 610Nm of torque, which is enough to get this brick to 100km/h in 5,9 seconds. Fuel consumption is claimed to be 17% less than the outgoing G500.

Check out the video below for a more thorough look at the new G-Class, which will make its way to SA in 2016.
