The Mercedes-Benz G-Class EV (formerly known as the Mercedes-Benz EQG) is an electric mid-size luxury SUV concept unveiled by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz. It is part of the EQ family, a range that will expand to include 10 new models by 2022.[1] The EQG is based on the existing conventional ICE-powered second-generation Mercedes G-Class.

The official production version, the G 580 with EQ Technology, was announced on 24 April 2024.[2]

Concept EQG

On 5 September 2021, Mercedes-Benz previewed Concept EQG, the G-Class concept car with full electric drive, at IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich. Externally, Concept EQG carries the styling of the second-generation G-Class, with updated elements to distinguish the electric variant, such as a square tire cover, extensive additional LED lighting including an LED Black Panel grille, updated front and rear fascias, new 22-inch wheels, and a special roof rack. While Mercedes-Benz had not revealed the technical data as of September 2021, Concept EQG has been found to have four electric motors that are placed closer to the wheels and that can operate independently; the battery packs are 108 kWh. Additionally, a two-speed gearbox allows the gear reductions for the off-road travel.[3][4] The model names are EQG 560 4MATIC and EQG 580 4MATIC, as well as a rumored AMG variant.[5][6] A production version was confirmed for 2024.[7][8] However, it was dropped in favor of the name "G580 With EQ Technology," which is heavily based on the EQG concept.[9]

G 580 with EQ Technology

On 24 April 2024, the production version, G 580 with EQ Technology, was introduced. This model was inspired by the Concept EQG and is the first electric vehicle from Mercedes-Benz not to have a separate EQ model.[10] It has also been marketed as the G 580e, G 580 Electric, and simply G 580 as well.[2]

The G 580 uses a quad-motor configuration with four 145-hp motors.[11] The front and rear axles are connected by dual-joint driveshafts with slip joints to the wheels.[12] The G 580 is rated at Template:Convert/kW and Template:Convert/Nm of torque.[13] The G 580 has an independent double-wishbone front suspension like other G-Class models, but the rear axle uses a new De Dion setup, which allows for compression to not alter camber.[14]

The G 580 with EQ Technology, has sold 1,450 in a one-year period compared to 9,000 units for the G-Class with internal combustion engines.[15] These lower sales are attributed to the heavier gross weight (3,085 kg or 6,746 lbs), short range (473 km on WLTP cycle and 239 miles on EPA cycle), higher price than ICE-equipped G-Class, and lack of towbar option.[16]
