2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 Electric G-Class revealed
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz Electric G-Class revealed features a robust design that retains the iconic G-Class silhouette with updates for its electric configuration. The model is built on a ladder frame with an integrated 116-kWh lithium-ion battery, ensuring a low center of gravity and enhancing vehicle rigidity. Protection against environmental elements is ensured through a torsion-resistant battery casing and underbody protection that utilizes a mix of materials including carbon.
This electric variant, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz Electric G-Class, is driven by four electric motors positioned near the wheels within the frame, producing a total of 579 hp and 859 lb-ft of torque. The motors allow for advanced off-road capabilities facilitated by features such as G-TURN, G-STEERING, and an intelligent crawl function. Aerodynamics are improved with design tweaks such as a raised hood, new A-pillar trim, and flared rear wheel arches with air curtains.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz Electric G-Class revealed comes standard with the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system and includes safety and assistance features to support the driver. The vehicle's off-road prowess is enhanced by its LOW RANGE gear reduction and virtual differential locks through torque vectoring.
For the 2025 model year, this model will be available in the U.S. as the EDITION ONE, which offers expanded equipment and unique design elements.
A key advantage of this model is its integration of a robust 116-kWh battery within a ladder frame, which not only maintains the vehicle's iconic ruggedness but also improves its center of gravity, enhancing stability. The use of four electric motors allows for precise torque distribution, a boon for off-road capability. However, potential downsides include the complexity and possible maintenance challenges associated with such advanced electric drivetrains, as well as the high initial cost that often accompanies cutting-edge technology and luxury branding.
Speaking of other brand's cars, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQS Sedan was updated with a redesigned front fascia, a new grille featuring the Mercedes-Benz standing star, an AMG Line bumper, and a larger 118-kWh battery for extended range, along with enhancements aimed at improving rear passenger comfort through new standard and optional features.
