The iconic Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen has officially entered the EV Era. The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology is backed by four electric motors, individual gearboxes, virtual differential lockers, and a 116 kWh battery pack. The SUV arrives with 579 hp and 859 lb-ft of torque. A familiar off-road ready chassis carries over to the EV, with an independent front suspension paired with a solid-rear axle. Luckily, the truck's good looks remain largely unchanged as well.
The Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology was developed to be capable as an off-roader and a status symbol, so the relatively low range may not matter.
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class -- the rugged off-road powerhouse that launched in 1979 and has since become a brutalist status symbol -- has gone electric. This is, in many ways, Mercedes' most prestigious car, a model more prized for its presence and exclusivity than its power and capability. Meet the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology.
