Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ technology Design Preview - Driving event in Ötztal

The engine range of the new G-Class is fully electrified: mild hybrids with integrated starter generator (ISG) and 48-volt electrical system combine more power with reduced consumption. Thanks to electrification, these models also offer improved responsiveness and more comfort. In addition to the Mercedes-AMG G 63, the Mercedes-Benz G 500 with a new inline six-cylinder petrol engine and the Mercedes-Benz G 450 d are available.

With the G 580 with EQ technology, Mercedes-Benz also presented the first fully electric model of its off-road icon this spring. The new electric G-Class remains true to the character of the series and sets standards off-road. The four electric motors close to the wheels and can be controlled individually develop a maximum total output of 432 kW. Together with the switchable LOW RANGE off-road reduction gear, they enable unique driving characteristics and exclusive functions. The G-TURN allows the vehicle to turn almost on the spot on loose or unpaved surfaces. The G-STEERING function can ensure a significantly smaller turning circle when driving off-road. Thanks to the intelligent off-road crawling function with three speed levels, the electric G-Class ensures ideal propulsion off paved roads completely independently.
