The Mercedes-Benz G580 EQ is set to revolutionize the electric SUV market with its first-ever electric version of the iconic G-Class. This new model combines the classic off-road capabilities of the G-Class with advanced electric powertrain technology, creating a powerful, fast, and luxurious electric off-road vehicle.
At its core, the G580 EQ is equipped with a powerful drivetrain, featuring quad electric motors (one at each wheel) that produce a combined 579 horsepower and an impressive 859 lb-ft of torque. Each motor is paired with a two-speed transmission, enhancing efficiency and performance at varying speeds. This setup allows the SUV to accelerate from 0-60 mph in approximately 4.6 to 4.7 seconds, nearly matching the speed of the AMG G63.
The G580 EQ's battery pack is a substantial 116-kWh, offering a range of up to 491 km. This battery pack powers the advanced electric all-wheel drive system, which features independent motor control for torque vectoring without the need for traditional physical differentials. This system allows the G580 to maintain the legendary off-road abilities of the G-Class while adding new electronic precision.
Externally, the SUV retains the classic boxy G-Class silhouette, with options for a body-colored or an optional black-panel grille featuring animated LED light bands. Standard 18-inch aerodynamic alloy wheels are fitted, with 20-inch AMG wheels available in the Edition One trim. Adaptive MULTIBEAM LED headlights enhance visibility, providing optimal illumination in various driving conditions.
Inside, the high-tech cabin features dual 12.3-inch digital displays (driver instrument cluster and MBUX infotainment touchscreen). Luxurious leather upholstery options, ambient lighting that projects the Mercedes logo when doors open, and optional rear-seat entertainment screens are also available. The multifunction Nappa leather steering wheel comes with optional heating, paddle shifters for driving mode adjustments, and advanced driver assistance systems as standard in the G-Class lineup.
Mercedes-Benz aims to keep the G-Class up-to-date for over 40 years by adapting it to the times, while leaving an unmistakable legacy. Over 90% of customers who have used Mercedes-Benz's G-Class personalization platform, MANUFAKTUR, have chosen at least one option. Reservations for the new electric G-Class can be made from the official Mercedes-Benz website.
