Get ready for the future of off-roading with the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQG. This electric SUV brings together timeless style and state-of-the-art technology. Mercedes-Benz first teased the idea of an electrified G-Class back in 2018, and now, The EQG gives us a glimpse of what's to come. Scheduled for release in 2024, the EQG marks a thrilling addition to the brand's EQ lineup. For years, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class SUV has been the go-to choice for adventurers and trendsetters alike. Now, it's going electric with the G580, powered by innovative EQ Technology. Despite the fancy name, the G-Class EV keeps its iconic look and legendary off-road capabilities. With four electric motors delivering a total of 579 horsepower, it's set to be a force to be reckoned with on any terrain. New G-class: EV Engine and Performance, Individual motors for each wheel Setting the EQG apart from its gas-powered siblings is its innovative electric drivetrain, powered by four individual motors—one for each wheel. This setup generates an impressive 579 horsepower and 859 pound-feet (1,164Nm) of torque, propelling the electric G-Class into a league of its own. With each motor independently controlled, the EQG boasts a range of advanced off-road features, including the ability to execute a 360-degree spin within its own length, aptly named the G-Turn. Additionally, G-Steering optimizes off-road maneuverability by adjusting the power to each motor, reducing the turning circle for enhanced agility. Virtual differential locks, torque vectoring, and an off-road crawl function further elevate the EQG's legendary all-terrain capabilities, ensuring that it maintains the rugged spirit of the G-Class lineage. Mercedes Benz EV G63 new design When it comes to the design of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQG, one thing is clear: it stays true to its iconic roots while embracing the future of electric mobility. The unmistakable boxy shape, reminiscent of its military origins from the 1970s, remains largely unchanged, preserving the rugged charm that G-Class enthusiasts adore. The Concept EQG further elevates its design with a striking two-tone paint finish, featuring aluminum on the bottom and black on top, exuding a sense of sophistication and ruggedness. Sitting atop 22-inch polished wheels, the EQG commands attention on any terrain. Completing the look is a sleek black flat roof rack, adorned with an LED strip, offering a modern twist to the classic roof-mounted spot lamps commonly found on off-roaders. As Gorden Wagener, Chief Design Officer at Daimler Group, aptly puts it, "For us, the most important thing was to keep the full G-Class DNA but beam it into the EQ age: like the G-Class but different." Range and Battery of 2025 Mercedes Benz G-Class EV One of the key factors contributing to the robust weight of the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQG is its substantial 116kWh battery pack. Integrated seamlessly into the ladder frame chassis, this massive battery not only enhances structural rigidity but also lowers the vehicle's center of gravity, optimizing stability on and off the road. Encased in a durable 4mm thick steel casing, the battery is safeguarded against potential damage during adventurous off-road escapades. In terms of charging convenience, Mercedes-Benz estimates that the battery can be replenished from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 32 minutes when using a compatible fast-charging connection. To ensure utmost protection, the electric EQG comes equipped with specialized underbody protection plates, shielding the battery from any potential harm while navigating challenging terrains. What are the changes in the interior of the 2025 G-Class EV Step inside the cabin of the Mercedes Benz G-Class EV.

With integrated ambient lighting that can be customized to suit your mood, the atmosphere is yours to control. The dashboard exudes a commanding presence, standing tall and upright, providing the driver with an unparalleled view of the road ahead. Thanks to the minimal space between the base of the windshield and the steering wheel, you'll feel in complete control of the journey.

Accessing the cargo area is a breeze with the side-hinged rear door, revealing 555 square meters of storage space.
