The Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen Is Going Electric

July 27th, 2024 by

There’s really no two ways about it; the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen is one of the most iconic SUVs on the roads of New Jersey and beyond. For 2025, things are being turned up a notch. With the arrival of the Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology, this capable SUV is going electric.

Performance

The G580 with EQ Technology boasts impressive performance credentials:

  • Four electric motors, one at each wheel, producing a combined 579 horsepower and 859 pound-feet of torque
  • 0-60 mph acceleration in just 4.6 seconds
  • 116.0 kWh battery pack for extended range

The quad-motor setup allows for precise control of power delivery to each wheel, enhancing both on-road handling and off-road capability. The instant torque characteristic of electric motors provides immediate response and effortless acceleration. Because of this, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology is the most powerful G-Wagen to date.

Capability

True to its heritage, the G580 with EQ Technology maintains exceptional off-road capabilities:

  • Gradeability of up to 100% on suitable surfaces
  • Stability on slopes of up to 35 degrees
  • Maximum fording depth of 850 millimeters
  • Virtual differential locks and torque vectoring for optimal traction
  • G-Turn feature allows 360-degree rotation within the vehicle’s own length
  • G-Steering function improves maneuverability in tight off-road situations

The electric powertrain enhances the G-Class’s off-road prowess, allowing for precise control at low speeds and instant power delivery when needed. The low-range gearing and off-road crawl function further bolster its all-terrain capabilities.

Luxury

As expected from Mercedes-Benz, the G580 with EQ Technology offers a wealth of luxurious features:

  • MBUX infotainment system with dual 12.3-inch displays
  • Burmester 3D surround sound system with Dolby Atmos
  • 64-color ambient lighting
  • Nappa leather upholstery with contrast stitching
  • Optional MBUX High-End Rear Seat Entertainment system
  • Active Multicontour Seat Plus package with massage function (standard on Edition One)

The interior retains the classic G-Class design elements while incorporating modern technology and comfort features. The electric powertrain also contributes to a quieter cabin, enhancing the luxurious experience.

When Is the Electric G-Wagen Coming Out?

We expect this new series of G-Class to arrive in late 2024 or early 2025. At Ray Catena of Freehold, we look forward to offering this electric SUV.
