Mercedes-Benz Malaysia debuts the high-anticipated all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, an icon reimagined for an electric future. It symbolises the fusion of tradition and progress like no other.
The all-new electric G-Class remains true to the model’s character, retaining its angular silhouette including all iconic elements that have epitomised the G-Class for generations.
Amanda Zhang, CEO & President, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said, “At Mercedes-Benz, we are committed to shaping the future of mobility through innovation, performance, and sustainability.
The all-new electric G-Class is a bold expression of this vision, reimagining an icon while staying true to the values that define our brand. As we advance toward our Ambition 2039,
this marks an important milestone in our journey to lead the transformation of the luxury
automotive landscape.”.
Nadia Trimmel, Vice President, Marketing & Sales, Mercedes-Benz Malaysia said, “With the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, we are offering our customers a fully electric off-road experience without compromise.
It brings together cutting-edge features like the G-TURN, G-STEERING, and a range of up to 473 km according to WLTP, all whilst keeping the iconic DNA of the G-Class. It delivers the refinement, capability, and innovation our customers expect from Mercedes-Benz, now redefined for an electric era.”.
The Electric Drive
With four individually controlled electric motors close to the wheels, the all-new electric G-Class offers unique driving characteristics both on and off road. It is the first mass-produced vehicle from the Mercedes-Benz Group with individual-wheel drive.
The four motors are integrated in the ladder frame – two in each housing at the front and rear axles. They are driven via short half-shafts, meaning the rear electric motors can also be bolted to the chassis.
Each of the electric motors develops a peak output of 108 kW, which adds up to a maximum total output of 432 kW. The maximum total torque is 1,164 Nm.
