The most iconic SUV is now electric
The most iconic of SUVs in Mercedes-Benz now it is fully electric: this is the long-lasting Class G, which now has a purely electrified version. Featured in Beijing Hall, the new G580 EQ (and not EQG as expected) can now be ordered, and as is common in the G line, it has power and performance numbers far beyond what its appearance suggests.
Robust look and timely changes
However, visually, there is no escaping the square details that made the G-Class famous. For the electric version, Mercedes preferred not to change the structure of the model too much, and only made specific changes to the hood and front grille. As well as transforming the rear spare tire into a support for the charging cable.
Interior details and cutting-edge technology
Still externally, there are new color and wheel options, and that's it. Inside, the G580 EQ receives the new generation of the MBUX entertainment system, as well as lighting and various configurations. To make the electric G experience more exclusive, there are, depending on the version, items such as a transparent hood camera, Burmester 3D sound, keyless entry and even refrigerated cup holders.
Outstanding engine and performance
To move the big guy, four 147 hp electric motors deliver a total of 588 hp, and an impressive torque of 118.6 mkgf. Furthermore, 0 to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds, for example. However, the brand claims that the main highlight of the G is off-road, even surpassing the traditional gasoline model. This is due to the fact that each engine has its own two-speed transmission.
Off-road technology and electric autonomy
The device allows the G580 EQ individual controls for situations of maximum need, without the differential locks common to the combustion model. Furthermore, powertrain components and the battery are completely sealed, allowing the SUV to negotiate flooded areas up to 850 mm deep, close to 150 mm deeper than the regular G-Class.
Price and available versions
Finally, the new electric G costs 142,622 euros, which translates into R$ 785 thousand in direct conversion, in the basic version. Other versions, such as the Edition One, gain an AMG Line finish, such as running boards, stainless steel trim, sports steering wheel and 20-inch AMG wheels, rising to 192,524 euros, more than R$ 1 million in direct conversion, for example.
