The Mercedes-Benz G-Class might still be popular, but even Mercedes concedes that almost four decades are a bit too much, so a new generation is in the pipeline.

Scooped on several occasions, the all-new 4×4 is back in yet another short spy video, which shows it testing on public roads.

There are some reports that a massive 400 kg (880 pounds) will be dropped from its total weight. This doesn’t seem that impossible given that G-Wagen was launched 37 years ago.

While it will still be able to tackle sand dunes, rocky slopes or whatever its future buyers will throw at it, the SUV will gain some features from the latest generation E-Class inside and, of course, all the niceties one expects from a premium SUV these days.
