The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, is well-known for its luxury without compromise and off-road capabilities. Now Mercedes is revolutionizing the G 580 with all-electric EQ technology.

The traditional internal combustion engine has been replaced by four electric motors, each driving one wheel, together offering a staggering 432 kW / 580 hp and 1,164 Nm of torque. This surpasses even the powerful AMG G 63, making it the most powerful G-Class yet. The acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds is also remarkable.

The electric G 580 is designed to go where the tarmac ends. With a dedicated Crawl mode and two-speed transmission, it promises to tackle even the most challenging terrain. Features such as G-Turn, which allows the vehicle to turn on the spot, and G-Steering for improved agility, transform this heavy off-roader into a surprisingly agile vehicle.

You don't have to worry about damaging your precious battery when off-roading. Mercedes has protected the 116 kWh battery (with a WLTP range of 473 km) with a massive carbon-reinforced protection plate. This protection, together with the higher ground clearance, allows for an impressive wading range of up to 850 mm, which is more than the version with an internal combustion engine.

Mercedes hasn't yet released a price for the U.S. market for the G 580, but in Europe the new G sells for exactly 142,600 euros (nearly $152,000). The One edition we see in the photos starts at an even higher price of 192,500 euros - that's more than $205,700.
