The Power of Progress: The Electric G-Class ‘G 580 With EQ Technology’ Takes the Stage.
With the official launch of the Electric G-Class ‘G 580 With EQ Technology’ on April 24, 2024, which was earlier posted on April 16, 2024, on the blog, the automotive world is set for a significant event following days, weeks, and months of anticipation. This iconic vehicle, renowned for its rugged elegance and unwavering performance, now enters a new era of innovation, sustainability, and electric mobility.
Power, Engine and Others
The iconic G -Class gets an electrifying transformation, gaining a powerful 116-kWh battery that can produce an incredible 579 horsepower and 859 lb-ft of torque.
After offering models with four, five, six, eight, and twelve cylinders, the G-Class now introduces an unprecedented variant: one without any cylinders at all. The all-electric G-Class is fitted with four motors, each of which is responsible for powering a single wheel independently, in place of a conventional combustion engine. It maintains its character as a real off-roader despite this cutting-edge electric power technology, exhibiting remarkable capability both on and off the beaten path. Indeed, in some situations, it outperforms its gas-powered equivalent, confirming its status as a powerful player in the off-road vehicle industry.
The electric G-Class is the undeniable King of the Hills, producing an astounding 859 pound-feet of torque and 579 horsepower when all four motors are operating together.
The electric G offers enough of clearance between the axles—9.8 inches—and can climb lateral slopes as steep as 35 degrees. Thanks to its outstanding angles—32.0-degree approach angle, 30.7-degree departure angle, and 20.3-degree breakover angle—and sturdy design, it can easily navigate over rough terrain. It can overcome gradients of up to 100%, much like the regular G-Class. To be clear, this does not mean it can climb vertically; rather, it indicates a 45-degree angle that is determined by calculating rise over run.
With a solid rear axle and front independent suspension, the G580 with EQ Technology has strong underbody protection made of carbon fibre and other long-lasting components. This protects the significant 116.0 kWh battery that is built into the ladder structure. It’s of importance that the battery can be charged at a high rate of up to 200 kilowatts, even though the precise range is still unknown. Recharging from 10 to 80 percent using a DC connection takes about 32 minutes.
In conclusion, the Electric G-Class ‘G 580 With EQ Technology’, which combines the iconic elegance of the G-Class with state-of-the-art electric technology, is an incredible advancement in automotive engineering. With its powerful electric motors, unmatched off-road capabilities, and swift charge times, it raises the standard for sustainability, performance, and innovation. The Electric G 580 is proof of Mercedes-Benz’s dedication to quality and its vision for a cleaner, greener future both on and off the road, as the manufacturer breaks the boundaries and redefines what is possible in the field of electric mobility.
