Welcome to Graz, home of the #GWagon!

And Today the most iconic #MercedesBenz, the #GClass, goes fully electric. This is the G580 — Unlike all other Mercedes EVs, the G had to still be a G in electric form. This is what we expect as customers. And this was the goal of the team here in Graz!

It’s powered by 4 individual electric motors, and a huge battery in the ladder chassis. And while it mostly retains its iconic looks, I need this car to be a real G. To do that it needs to tick 3 big boxes:

Is the design unadulterated?
Does it have the performance expected of it?
And can it ever off road as good as a combustion G?

That will decide how welcoming are G customers going to be to this new model!

In terms of Performance, it’s powerful:

588 BHP
1164NM
4.7 seconds
3085 tonnes 3150 (fully loaded)
470KM Range

That’s a huge range figure, which means it Conquers Schockl 14 TIMES!! Which would take 2 days.

Speaking of Off Roading level - it’s G Level Doing everything as much as the combustion cars but with an even greater wading depth! Plus unique driving MODES:

- The 360 spinning G Turn mode! All by clever torque management, the 2 motors on each side turning in opposite directions.
- G Steering, extreme turning radius for off roading
- OFF ROAD CRAWL - almost cruise control for off roading. Select the speed and you can leave the car to manage the diff locks and range etc all by itself!

And finally, even a sound experience for driving called “ G Roar”, which you’ll get a small preview of.

We will also check out the design vs just the normal G500. And the G63. And explore what future models could come. Today we will mainly show the G580 Edition 1, and the standard car in Sand plus the availability of the Manufaktur program.

Today we’re going to explore these questions and more, and we will look in detail at the design, to what’s under the skin, and some unique driving manoeuvres and modes in this version!
