Mercedes G700 Type 1 vs Type 2: Which LED Grille Emblem Should You Choose?
The Mercedes G700 catalogue has two distinct grille-emblem pages: Type 1 and Type 2. The useful choice is the exact artwork and face proportion you want to see, not a vague note saying “G700 emblem.” The current listings give a clear starting point: Type 1 is 190 × 49 mm, while Type 2 is 150 × 53 mm. Neither listing by itself proves fitment for a particular grille or G-Class generation.
The exact Type 1 and Type 2 dimensions
| Exact listing | Face dimensions | Shared listed details |
|---|---|---|
| Mercedes G700 Type 1 | 190 × 49 mm 52 mm overall depth including mounting hardware |
Acrylic plastic; two-screw mounting; fixed LED colors and phone-controlled FLOW RGB are listed. |
| Mercedes G700 Type 2 | 150 × 53 mm 52 mm overall depth including mounting hardware |
Acrylic plastic; two-screw mounting; fixed LED colors and phone-controlled FLOW RGB are listed. |
Both pages state the same overall depth, but the face proportions are not the same. Type 1 is 40 mm wider and 4 mm shorter than Type 2. Using the listed width divided by height, Type 1 is about 3.9:1 and Type 2 about 2.8:1. That is a practical visual distinction: Type 1 reads as the wider, lower face; Type 2 as the narrower, slightly taller face. It is a comparison of the product records, not a promise that either one occupies a particular G-Class grille.
Choose by the space and proportion you want
Choose Type 1 when your brief calls for the wider horizontal footprint shown by its 190 mm width. Choose Type 2 when the 150 mm width and 53 mm height better match the proportion you want to evaluate. The artwork is tied to the Type 1 or Type 2 record, so save the source image, title and URL together. Do not assume that the Type 2 page is the same emblem simply scaled down, or that a G700 label makes the two records interchangeable.
Use the dimensions to narrow the choice, then inspect the exact product media. The Type 1 and Type 2 pages each have their own product image and dimension graphic. A listing image can show the design and a product context, but it cannot confirm the opening, grille bars or rear access on your vehicle.
Measure before you decide that either one fits
Before ordering, check the intended grille opening and the route to the mounting points on your own vehicle. Record the clear width and height where the face would sit, then check the available rear clearance. Keep the 52 mm measurement labelled correctly: the product pages call it overall depth including mounting hardware. It is not a vehicle-specific clearance measurement.
- Compare the clear opening with 190 × 49 mm for Type 1 or 150 × 53 mm for Type 2.
- Check whether the two-screw mounting arrangement can be accessed behind the grille.
- Check the depth behind the intended mounting surface instead of assuming the product-context photo matches your vehicle.
- Keep the product title, exact URL and selected Type label in the order notes.
The current pages also state acrylic plastic, IP67 and the instruction that wiring connections must be properly protected during installation. Those are product-page facts, but they are not the Type 1-versus-Type 2 shape decision. Read the separate IP67 and wiring guide for that installation distinction.
Finish the order on the selected Type page
Once you have chosen the face, choose lighting and warranty on that exact product page. Keep the design image with the order so the wider Type 1 is not confused with the narrower Type 2. Check the included-items guide when preparing the installation handoff.
Start from the LED Grille Badges collection, open the correct G700 page and save the matching image. If the visual proportion is clear but the vehicle-side opening or rear access is not, pause for a product-specific fitment check rather than substituting the other Type.
