The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology is here, and it's the electric G Wagen we've been waiting on.
Behold, it's the new electric G. After teasing us with concepts since 2021, Mercedes-Benz is finally spilling all the details on the upcoming, battery-powered Geländewagen.Meet the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology. Yes, it's quite a mouthful and a break from the nomenclature that Mercedes has defined for its previous EVs.
The details, however, are radically different. While the other, internally combusted G-Class models make do with a paltry single source of power, the G 580 with EQ Technology has four. The combination produces a mighty 879 horsepower, as you may have guessed from the name. Torque clocks in at an even more significant 859 pound-feet of torque.
EVs generally make great off-road performers thanks to their high torque and smooth power delivery, but Mercedes raised the bar on the new G-Class by putting two separate gear ratios at each corner. The driver can enable a Low Range reduction gear ratio for off-road situations at speeds up to 53 mph, giving the G 580 even more twist down low.
Additionally, the G 580 can wade deeper than the other G flavors, up to 33.5 inches vs. 27.6, and it has an extra 0.3 inches of ground clearance, too.
