Judging by the outline of the teaser image, we expect the new car to take on a similar old-school design of the current G-Class.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Revealed at the launch of the Concept CLA Class, Mercedes CEO Ola Kallenius unveiled what he called \u201cLittle G\u201d &#8211; a car that will take the character of the big and brash G-Class and condense it down into a more compact package.\u00a0<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/media.autoexpress.co.uk\/image\/private\/s--Qm1Q9QfU--\/f_auto,t_related-embed-mobile@1\/v1671630824\/autoexpress\/2022\/12\/G%20Class%20spyshots.jpg\">Facelifted 2023 Mercedes G-Class spotted in production bodywork<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Aside from Mercedes&#x27; plans to build a smaller G-Class, not much has been confirmed about the \u201cLittle G\u201d. From the teaser image we can see it retains the boxy silhouette of the G-Class with the traditional boot-mounted spare wheel.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ll find out if the smaller car will take on the same platform as the G-Class at a later date, but we expect it to come with the option of pure-electric power, with technology shared with the upcoming EQG.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>Four-wheel drive will be a given for the \u201cLittle G\u201d and given its smaller proportions it\u2019ll undercut the current G-Class in cost by some margin, providing a closer rival to the likes of the Jeep Wrangler and lower-spec versions of the Land Rover Defender.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Click here for all the latest from the 2023 Munich Motor Show&#8230;<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.autoexpress.co.uk\/mercedes\/g-class\/360861\/new-small-mercedes-g-class-arrive-retro-mini-roader\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The \u201cLittle G\u201d will join the Mercedes range and has been teased ahead of its official arrival Mercedes has dropped<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.8 -
