Mercedes-Benz is gearing up to reveal the much-anticipated electric version of its iconic G-Class, formally known as the EQG 580 with EQ Technology.

The EQG promises to stand out with distinctive features, including the iconic matte blue paint teased by the company. Design updates from its ICE counterpart include a blanked-out grille, glossy black accents, and an optional tailgate-mounted box replacing the spare wheel—a convenient storage for the EV charger.
The EQG’s standout feature is the ‘tank turn,’ enabling a full 360-degree rotation on the spot, redefining maneuverability for SUVs.
Under the hood, the G 580 EQ Technology boasts a 116kWh battery pack powering four electric motors—one on each wheel—delivering a combined 579bhp and a staggering 1,164Nm of torque. Mercedes-Benz claims an impressive range of 479km on a single charge, ensuring the EQG is ready for long journeys as well as off-road adventures. Pre-bookings for the electric G-Class commenced in July last year, and deliveries are expected to begin soon.
