New Mercedes-Benz G 580 EQ: The Off-Road Icon Goes Electric

The new Mercedes-Benz G 580 EQ is a car that belongs to its time. But this time, under the hood, the traditional combustion engine and its cylinders have been replaced by a 116 kWh lithium-ion battery. This battery, integrated into a ladder frame, carries the revolution of this icon – it offers enhanced stability thanks to its low center of gravity and provides a range of up to 473 kilometers (according to WLTP standards). And despite this transition to electric power, the G 580 EQ retains the ladder frame architecture, a hallmark of the G-Class’s robustness, ensuring unmatched structural strength on any terrain!

In terms of power, the G 580 EQ relies on four electric motors located near each wheel, each individually controlled. This configuration allows for precise power distribution, generating a combined force of 432 kW, or about 587 horsepower, propelling this electric version to the top of the off-road category.

Torque vectoring makes off-road performance exceptional, while innovative features like G-TURN allow for on-the-spot rotations, and G-STEERING significantly reduces the turning radius, making every maneuver a pleasure, even on the most demanding terrains.

The independent double-wishbone front suspension and rigid rear axle, characteristics of traditional models, have been retained and adapted to offer a comfortable and precise driving experience. Thanks to the combination of a LOW RANGE off-road speed reduction and power distributed to all four wheels, this electric G-Class can overcome obstacles with inclinations of up to 100% and remain stable on side slopes of 35 degrees.

The design signature of the G 580 EQ remains true to the aesthetic codes that have made the G-Class famous, while adding resolutely contemporary touches. The optional black panel grille gives the vehicle a cutting-edge look, while distinctive elements, such as the slightly raised hood and “air intakes” in the rear wheel arches, optimize aerodynamics. It should be noted that these design choices are not limited to appearance: they reflect Mercedes-Benz’s art of luxurious living, where design effects are carefully considered to merge aesthetics, functionality, and power.

Inside, the G 580 EQ establishes itself as a true rolling salon. Premium materials, such as nappa leather that covers the multifunction steering wheel, customizable ambient lighting, and wood and aluminum finishes, create an atmosphere of refinement. The user experience is enhanced by the MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, allowing the driver to stay connected and in control through a 12.3-inch touchscreen that provides real-time information. Customization options include the Burmester¼ 3D sound system for total sound immersion, temperature-controlled cup holders for added comfort, and the “transparent hood,” an innovative technology that improves visibility during off-road outings.

 With the “Edition One,” Mercedes-Benz takes luxury and exclusivity even further, offering an expanded range of standard features and unique design elements! Ultimately, everything in the new Mercedes-Benz G 580 EQ, from the electric motors to the aesthetic signature, and the sumptuous interior, has been designed to provide an unparalleled experience. A car that embodies the art of luxury off-road living signed by Mercedes-Benz, combining tradition and innovation for those seeking a sophisticated adventure without compromising their commitment to the environment.
