The COMAND APS touchscreen and control panel were moved up toward the top of dashboard for easier viewing and operating.
The COMAND APS was updated with MBrace2 telematics system.
Additional safety features included DISTRONIC adaptive cruise control, blind-spot monitoring, revised PARKTRONIC reverse sensors and rear-view camera, and revised ATS4 stability control for improved trailer stabilising functionality.

Externally, G-Class received the horizontal bars of LED daytime running lamps underneath the headlamps and the new external side rear-view mirrors shared with GL-Class and ML-Class models.
The AMG version received the new front bumper with three large air intakes.

The 5.4-litre supercharged V8 was replaced by new 5.5-litre biturbo V8 for increased performance.
Topping out the G-Class model range was a new G 65 AMG with 6-litre biturbo V12 petrol engine.
Two models were carried over unchanged: G 350 CDI BlueTEC and G 500/G 550.

For the 2016 model year, the G 500/G 550's outgoing M273 5.5-litre naturally aspirated V8 was replaced by the new M176 4.0-litre biturbo V8 for increased horsepower and torque.
