Who is the electric G Wagen – who Mercedes-Benz G 580 2025 with EQ technology – because? Pricing has yet to be announced, but it will be expensive. Range is yet to be announced but it achieved 294 miles in the European test cycle and that means EPA would probably rate it at around 250. It doesn’t look significantly different from combustion and mixture There are also other versions, but it turns out it’s all by design.
According to Mercedes-AMG CEO Michael Scheibe, it has to be a G Wagon first and foremost, regardless of powertrain. That means its off-road capabilities and iconic shape take precedence. Scheibe said Mercedes it could have been made more aerodynamic by changing the shape, but then it wouldn’t be a G Wagon.
Visually, the main difference between electric G class and others are an illuminated grille frame, a higher roofline and small changes to improve aerodynamics – slightly altered A-pillar trim, a small roof spoiler and Air curtain on rear fender. Inside, controls for electric-vehicle-specific tricks like spinning on the spot are located in place of the differential lock buttons. That’s it.
Scheibe admits that there may be electric cars that accelerate faster or charge faster, but the G-Class must maintain all-wheel drive capability. In Europe, cars have more weight 3500 kg (7,716 pounds) cannot be driven in a standard passenger car license. Mercedes goes straight to that line with a curb weight of 7,716, including one carbon fiber 127-pound composite panel under belly for protection battery pack from stone. Working backwards from that, battery size is determined by its mass limitations, and its range is limited by its shape. Mercedes doesn’t even try to match Hummer The EV’s 381-mile range.

It probably doesn’t matter anyway. Mercedes asserts that the G-Class is a car for everyone. German carpenter buys diesel engines like work truck lies at one end of the spectrum. However, on the other side are lifestyle buyers, and that’s where the money is. There’s a reason why Mercedes decided to launch the electric G in the Hills of Beverly. Drive quickly through the area and you’ll see the G-Class is a richer SUV in comparison Chevy Trax. Naturally, none of them had an ounce of mud.
Mercedes believes that most G electric cars will be the second or third car in the family, so maximum range is not as important. G Wagon owners don’t rely on it as their sole means of transportation. To expand road tripThese owners will have other options.
Down the road, that could change. The company is investing in charging networks operated by Mercedes or in partnership with Mercedes in the US and China. They started in Europe. Mercedes realized that the network wasn’t expanding fast enough in the places its customers wanted to go. As an example, Scheibe cites the planned network along highways from major German cities to Austria, a popular skiing destination.
The intended customer base of the G 580 with EQ Technology explains its star and influencer revelations. The car appeared on a lake covered in fog pumped out by a dry ice machine, then Travis Scott climbed on top of the car to perform a small concert. Several vintage G Wagons are also on display, including an original 1979 model with a Puch badge and one owned by Kendall Jenner.
Puch is now Magna Steyr, the company that operates and builds the G-Class in Graz, Austria, mainly by hand. A Mercedes representative explained that there is only one robot throughout the factory. This allows for a lot of customization, in case you want your G-Class to be neon yellow but also flexible.
That flexibility will come in handy as the electric vehicle market grows and declines. To some extent, Mercedes will be able to adjust the ratio between the ICE and the G electric cars they are building. Sure, the manual build process is a bit slower, but the company sees that as an advantage. They like to keep supply a little low and demand high.
