The iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Class, a symbol of off-road prowess for 45 years, makes a bold leap into the electric future with the introduction of the all-new G 580 with EQ Technology, also known as the Electric G Wagon. This groundbreaking vehicle retains the rugged spirit of its predecessors while embracing cutting-edge electric innovation, promising an unparalleled off-road experience with zero emissions.
Underneath its familiar and robust silhouette lies a sophisticated electric powertrain. The electric G Wagon boasts four individually controlled electric motors, delivering a formidable 579 horsepower and a staggering 859 lb-ft of torque. This setup ensures exceptional control and power delivery, crucial for conquering challenging terrains. Mercedes-Benz engineers have meticulously modified and reinforced the classic ladder frame to house a high-capacity 116-kWh battery, ensuring durability and range without compromising the G-Class’s legendary toughness.
Staying true to its off-road heritage, the electric G Wagon excels where the pavement ends. It fearlessly tackles 100% grades and confidently wades through waters nearly three feet deep, mirroring the capabilities of its gasoline-powered counterparts. The newly designed OFF-ROAD COCKPIT, featuring a prominent 12.3-inch driver display, provides essential information to the driver, enhancing the off-road driving experience and ensuring confident navigation through demanding landscapes.
While instantly recognizable, the electric G Wagon incorporates modern design elements that signify its electric identity. The rear door Design Box has been reimagined to serve as a practical storage compartment for the charging cable, tools, or snow chains, blending functionality with the vehicle’s iconic form. Furthermore, the advanced Navigation with Electric Intelligence system intelligently plans the fastest routes, factoring in convenient charging stops along the way, addressing range anxiety and ensuring seamless long-distance journeys.
Adding a unique auditory dimension to the electric driving experience, the G 580 with EQ Technology features G-ROAR. This innovative sound experience emits a deep, resonant growl during acceleration, reminiscent of the classic G-Class engine sound, creating an engaging and emotionally resonant driving feel. The ELECTRIC DYNAMIC SELECT drive programs allow drivers to customize their acoustic environment, offering a range from a quiet “Comfort” mode to a more assertive “Sport” setting, tailoring the sound to driving preferences.
For those seeking ultimate exclusivity, the EDITION ONE model elevates the electric G Wagon to new heights of luxury and distinction. This special edition comes generously equipped with enhanced standard features and exclusive design elements. Light projections displaying “Stronger Than Time” illuminate the pavement, while extensive MANUFAKTUR upholstery and paint options provide unparalleled personalization, making each EDITION ONE a truly unique statement.
The all-new 2025 electric G Wagon, or G-Class with EQ Technology, is poised to arrive at dealerships soon, marking a significant milestone in the evolution of both the G-Class and the electric vehicle landscape. It successfully blends iconic off-road capability with modern electric technology, offering a compelling and luxurious option for adventurers and environmentally conscious drivers alike.
