Receive Spyglass: Your insider scoop, delivered right to your inbox Your exclusive preview of upcoming vehicles and hidden prototypes, directly from our spy photographer. Just last month, Mercedes hinted that the new junior G-Class would be revealed “very soon.” Today, we have the first spy images of this smaller off-road SUV, which we anticipate will begin production in time for the 2027 model year. These two prototypes were seen being loaded onto a transporter in Germany, and thanks to the nearby vehicles, we’re getting our first impression of its compact size. In short: Very compact. At certain angles, the baby G could easily be mistaken for a fully electric Kia Soul (or, if I may say, a Scion xB?). Generally, Mercedes-Benz has closely followed the design cues of the G-Class, but there are a few differences. For instance, the dual front lighting setup has been eliminated; instead, the visible LED outlines function as both daytime running lights and turn signals. The images below provide some perspective. You can see that the baby G is significantly outsize by the two-row EQS 450 SUV (the grey crossover in front of it, in line for the carrier in the upper left photo) and the Mazda5-sized Metris passenger van beside it in the following images. It might even be smaller than the utility tug visible in the background. These prototypes also feature what seem to be full-length roof racks—one even has a complete ladder setup, hinting at potential accessories. This aligns with CEO Ola Källenius’s earlier remarks about targeting younger, active consumers. Its compact size and optional electric powertrain will likely resonate with urban customers in Europe, where many major cities are imposing restrictions (or additional fees) on combustion engine vehicles. Don’t fret; I believe that’s just additional camouflage on the prototypes above, not body bags. Given earlier speculations that the baby G would use the same “MMA” platform that supports the new CLA and GLA, its small size shouldn’t come as a surprise. We expect the interior will incorporate features we’ve seen in other models on this platform, including the Superscreen setup recently teased for the updated GLB three-row. With Toyota introducing a downsized Land Cruiser FJ overseas (rather cheeky) and Mercedes focusing on a smaller off-road (or more likely, soft-roader), we can’t help but question Jeep’s decision to position its electrified Recon at… well, we’re not quite sure who it’s targeting since it’s a significantly larger vehicle than the two just mentioned. This choice allowed Jeep to align the Recon’s destiny with the STLA Large platform found under nearly all new models in the Stellantis US portfolio; the trade-off, however, is that it had to be quite Large.

      Tu vistazo exclusivo a los coches del futuro y prototipos secretos, directamente de nuestro fotógrafo espía.

      El mes pasado, Mercedes insinuó que pronto veríamos su nueva G‑Class junior. Hoy se han filtrado las primeras imágenes espía del pequeño SUV todoterreno, que esperamos entre en producción para el año modelo 2027. Estos dos prototipos fueron capturados siendo cargados en un transportador en Alemania, y gracias a la comparación con los vehículos cercanos, podemos hacernos una idea de lo compacto que es.

      En una palabra: Muy. De hecho, desde ciertos ángulos, la "baby G" podría confundirse con un Kia Soul totalmente eléctrico (o, me atrevo a decir, ¿un Scion xB?). En general, Mercedes‑Benz ha tomado un enfoque bastante literal al reducir la G‑Class, aunque hay algunas excepciones. Por ejemplo, se ha omitido la configuración de doble iluminación frontal; los contornos LED visibles funcionan tanto como luces diurnas (DRL) como intermitentes.

      Las fotos a continuación nos proporcionan algo de contexto. Se observa que la baby G se ve notablemente más pequeña frente al EQS 450 SUV de dos filas (el crossover gris delante de ella en la fila del transportador en la imagen superior izquierda) y la furgoneta de pasajeros Metris del tamaño de un Mazda5 que está aparcada junto a ella en las siguientes tomas. Podría ser incluso más pequeña que un remolcador utilitario visible al fondo.

      Estos prototipos también presentan lo que parecen ser barras de techo de longitud completa, una de las cuales tiene una escalera completa que recuerda a un "catálogo de accesorios". Esto coincide con los comentarios anteriores del CEO Ola Källenius sobre que el coche atraerá a compradores más jóvenes y activos. Sus dimensiones más reducidas y la disponibilidad de una motorización eléctrica seguramente atraerán a compradores urbanos en Europa, donde muchas ciudades grandes ahora imponen restricciones (o tarifas adicionales) a los vehículos de combustión. No se preocupen, estoy bastante seguro de que eso son solo más camuflajes para los prototipos guardados allí, y definitivamente no bolsas para cadáveres.

      Considerando los rumores previos que indicaban que la baby G se basaría en la misma plataforma "MMA" que soporta el nuevo CLA y GLA, no deberíamos sorprendernos tanto por su tamaño reducido. Apostamos a que el interior incorporará elementos que ya hemos visto en otras variantes de la plataforma, incluido el sistema Superscreen que Mercedes insinuó recientemente para la GLB revisada de tres filas.

      Con Toyota proponiendo un Land Cruiser FJ más pequeño en el extranjero y Mercedes enfocándose en un mini todoterreno —o, más probablemente, un soft‑roader—, no podemos evitar cuestionar la elección de Jeep de orientar su electrificado Recon hacia… bueno, no estamos seguros de hacia qué está orientado exactamente, pero es un objetivo mucho más grande que cualquiera de las dos opciones mencionadas. Esto permitió a Jeep vincular el destino del Recon a la misma plataforma STLA Large, que se encuentra debajo de prácticamente todos los coches nuevos del portafolio de Stellantis en EE. UU.; la consecuencia, por supuesto, es que tenía que ser, bueno, Grande.

Given earlier speculations that the baby G would use the same “MMA” platform that supports the new CLA and GLA, its small size shouldn’t come as a surprise. We expect the interior will incorporate features we’ve seen in other models on this platform, including the Superscreen setup recently teased for the updated GLB three-row. With Toyota introducing a downsized Land Cruiser FJ overseas (rather cheeky) and Mercedes focusing on a smaller off-road (or more likely, soft-roader), we can’t help but question Jeep’s decision to position its electrified Recon at… well, we’re not quite sure who it’s targeting since it’s a significantly larger vehicle than the two just mentioned. This choice allowed Jeep to align the Recon’s destiny with the STLA Large platform found under nearly all new models in the Stellantis US portfolio; the trade-off, however, is that it had to be quite Large.

Receive Spyglass: Your insider scoop, delivered right to your inbox Your exclusive preview of upcoming vehicles and hidden prototypes, directly from our spy photographer. Just last month, Mercedes hinted that the new junior G-Class would be revealed “very soon.” Today, we have the first spy images of this smaller off-road SUV, which we anticipate will begin production in time for the 2027 model year. These two prototypes were seen being loaded onto a transporter in Germany, and thanks to the nearby vehicles, we’re getting our first impression of its compact size. In short: Very compact. At certain angles, the baby G could easily be mistaken for a fully electric Kia Soul (or, if I may say, a Scion xB?). Generally, Mercedes-Benz has closely followed the design cues of the G-Class, but there are a few differences. For instance, the dual front lighting setup has been eliminated; instead, the visible LED outlines function as both daytime running lights and turn signals. The images below provide some perspective. You can see that the baby G is significantly outsize by the two-row EQS 450 SUV (the grey crossover in front of it, in line for the carrier in the upper left photo) and the Mazda5-sized Metris passenger van beside it in the following images. It might even be smaller than the utility tug visible in the background. These prototypes also feature what seem to be full-length roof racks—one even has a complete ladder setup, hinting at potential accessories. This aligns with CEO Ola Källenius’s earlier remarks about targeting younger, active consumers. Its compact size and optional electric powertrain will likely resonate with urban customers in Europe, where many major cities are imposing restrictions (or additional fees) on combustion engine vehicles. Don’t fret; I believe that’s just additional camouflage on the prototypes above, not body bags.
