The new Mercedes-AMG G580 with EQ Technology is a powerful and capable electric 4x4, offering almost as much performance as the V8-powered G63 while boasting impressive off-road capabilities and a unique sense of humor. It features advanced electric technology that allows for precise maneuvering and agile handling, making it a truly remarkable driving experience.
To drive the Mercedes-AMG G63 is to make quite the statement. It costs £180k, puts out 603bhp and makes enough noise to get you kicked out of the cul-de-sac WhatsApp group. It’s an exercise in excess, a wilful dismssal of the concepts of etiquette and good grace. There are those who will decry the G-Class going electric and sacrificing some of that shoutiness, but the truth of the matter is that the new G580 with EQ Technology is the unstoppable 4x4’s most extreme and capable iteration yet.
It weighs three tonnes. It will only do around 2.0mpKwh. It is absolutely ludicrous in a number of ways, but it drives supremely, it’s even better off-road than a G63 and it has one thing that the AMG doesn’t: a sense of humour. It can turn on the spot like a tank, for one, and it can brake just the inside wheels in a turn to help you whip round tight hairpins in the most challenging of environments - or the Westfield car park. It works a bit like a really techie handbrake turn.
