When you think of a Mercedes-Benz G-Wagon, you probably think of a very luxurious vehicle with a powerful petrol-burning engine. Well, Mercedes-Benz has just changed the game with the all-new 2025 G580 all-electric G-Wagon.
The new G-Wagon, officially known as the Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ technology will hit the roads in 2025. This all-electric vehicle packs a powerful EV powertrain that consists of four e-motors producing a combined 432KW and 1164Nm
How Powerful Is the Battery?
The new G580 is built with a 116kWh battery pack that not only provides the G-Wagon with an enormous amount of power but also provides up to 474km of range on just one charge. The battery pack is protected by a 26mm thick carbon-reinforced plastic bash plate giving the all-electric G580 G-Wagon the ability to go off-road.
Can You Still Wade And Go Through River Crossings?
Yes. The all-new Mercedes-Benz G580 G-Wagon has the ability to wade through a depth of 850mm of water. This is an impressive extra 150mm more than the petrol-powered G63 model. This vehicle may be all-electric, but you can still have just as much, if not more, than what you could do in a petrol version.
Special Features:
The all-new Mercedes-Benz G580 is packed full of features that allow you to have a lot of fun on and off-road whilst giving you the ability to customize the ride to your own specifications. One of the new features of this all-electric G580 is G-Turn Mode. G-Turn Mode gives the G580 the ability to quickly rotate on its axis. This is done by turning the left and right-handed side wheels in different directions.
Sound Affects:
Many drivers these days are still getting used to the concept of all-electric vehicles. One aspect that many drivers tend to miss about petrol or diesel vehicles is the noise that comes from a combustion engine. Especially when taking off. Mercedes-Benz has taken care of that for you. The new G580 has features available that allow you to select different sound types for different driving modes in their G-Roar settings. Giving you the ability to still have your vehicle sound like a combustion engine.
Charging Capacity:
The new Mercedes-Benz G580 G-Wagon comes with its own 11kW AC charger. Should you wish, the vehicle has the ability to accept a 200kW DC charger, which is said to be able to charge the G580 from 10%-80% top-up within around 30 minutes. This is rather impressive considering the size and power of the battery onboard.
Conclusion:
The all-new Mercedes-Benz G580 electric G-Wagon is packed full of features to enhance your driving experience. With the first all-electric G-Wagon from Mercedes-Benz, this vehicle packs power with a 116kW battery that gives you up to 474km of range per charge. Not to mention its 26mm reinforced battery pack to allow for off-roading adventures. River crossings are no issue for this vehicle as it has a wading capability of 850mm.
