Overview
Community orientation

The W463 G-Class shares its modelled engines with generations already in the graph: the M112 petrol V6 (G 320), the M113 petrol V8 (G 500) up to the 2008 facelift and the M273 V8 after it, and the OM642 V6 diesel (G 320 CDI, G 350 BlueTEC). Its older diesels and its AMG models are out of scope. It therefore adds no occurrence patterns of its own; those patterns resolve onto this generation's configurations at the engine level. See the per-configuration breakdown for which patterns apply to which build window. Community orientation only, not a reliability rating or a purchase recommendation.

Filtered: OM642 · 3.0L V6 diesel (OM642).
