Watch the 2024 Mercedes EQG, an Electric G-Class, Do a Tank Turn

• Mercedes-Benz revealed that its upcoming electric G-class SUV, previewed by last year’s EQG concept, will be able to do a “tank turn.”

• In the video, the EQG uses its four electric motors to spin 360 degrees on its own axis.

• The EQG is expected to arrive for the 2024 model year.

Mercedes-Benz has ambitious electrification plans, having already launched the EQB crossover, EQS luxury sedan, smaller EQE sedan, and EQS SUV. Eventually, even the boxy G-class—not exactly known for its eco-friendliness with its 577-hp V-8 AMG G63 model—will spawn an electric variant. Mercedes previewed the electric G-class last year with the flashy EQG concept but revealed very little about the off-roader's mechanical components. Now Mercedes has given a taste of what the production version of the EQG will be capable of by showing off one of its party tricks, the G-turn, during a recent conference.
