Mercedes-Benz cars are incredibly popular among celebrities. The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon stands out as perhaps one of the most sought-after vehicles. In a recent acquisition, the well-known television actor Karan Kundra has purchased a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, reportedly costing around ₹3 crore. Let’s delve into the specific features of this car.
Karan Kundra shared photos on Instagram posing with his new SUV. Keeping the caption concise, the actor simply wrote ‘G’ alongside the image. Kundra opted for the Night Black version of the SUV.
Currently, Mercedes-Benz offers the G580 in India. However, the model seen in the photos with Karan Kundra appears to be the G400d. This variant falls below the G63 AMG in the brand’s lineup and is equipped with a 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder diesel engine, delivering 326 hp and a peak torque of 700 Nm. Power is transmitted to the wheels via a 9-speed automatic transmission.
Weighing approximately 2.5 tons, this SUV accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h in 6.4 seconds. The more powerful G63 AMG, featuring a 585 hp V8 engine, achieves this speed in 4.3 seconds.
Besides the G-Wagon, Karan Kundra also owns a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, known for its off-roading capabilities. It comes with a 2.0-liter turbocharged petrol engine that generates 291 hp and a peak torque of 400 Nm. This car also features 20-inch alloy wheels, a Burmester surround sound system, a sliding sunroof, ambient lighting, and a wide-screen cockpit, 64-color ambient lighting, a Burmester surround sound system, front seats with massage functions, three-zone climate control, heated and cooled front seats, an exposed spare wheel cover, and LED tail lights.
