Mercedes-Benz has officially introduced the highly anticipated electric variant of its iconic G-Class, which will be available later this year.
The all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 is built on a strong design that ensures durability and off-road capability, allowing drivers to navigate difficult terrain with ease.
Despite its traditional roots, the electric G-Class seamlessly incorporates cutting-edge EV technology.
The All-new Electric G-Class: A Closer Look
One of the most notable features of the electric G-Class is its advanced powertrain, which is powered by a 116 kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery.
This battery, ingeniously integrated into the ladder frame, not only provides a low center of gravity but also has an impressive range of up to 473 kilometers on a single charge, according to WLTP standards.
With underbody protection made of various materials, including carbon, the battery is protected from physical impact and environmental elements, ensuring longevity and reliability.
Four individually controlled motors located near the wheels propel the electric G-Class, with a maximum total output of 432 kW and a maximum torque of 1,164 Nm. This powertrain configuration not only improves performance, but it also allows for off-road-specific driving functions.
G-TURN, G-STEERING, and an intelligent off-road crawl function reinvent the off-road experience, providing unrivaled maneuverability and control over rough terrain.
A Striking Luxury Design
In addition to its impressive performance capabilities, the electric G-Class has a striking exterior design that stays true to its tradition while embracing modernity.
Particular features, such as a slightly raised bonnet, air curtains in the rear wheel-arch flares, and a design box in the back, help to improve aerodynamics and visual appeal.
Inside the cabin, drivers are greeted with an assortment of luxurious amenities and cutting-edge technology. The MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, which includes a 12.3-inch driver and media display, offers intuitive control and seamless connectivity.
Optional additional features, such as temperature-controlled cup holders and the Burmester® 3D surround sound system, take the driving experience to new levels of comfort and luxury.
Safety remains a top priority for the electric G-Class, with advanced safety and assistance systems providing peace of mind both on and off the road. These features, such as adaptive cruise control and lane-keeping assist, boost driver confidence while also ensuring occupant safety.
For enthusiasts seeking the ultimate in exclusivity, the EDITION ONE model offers an array of additional standard features and exclusive design elements, setting it apart as a collector's item.
Pricing
With pricing starting at 142,621 euros ($152,500) for the standard model and 192,524.15 euros for the EDITION ONE, the electric G-Class represents a compelling proposition for luxury SUV enthusiasts looking to embrace sustainable mobility without compromising on performance or prestige.
