G 580 with EQ Technology — The Electric Reinvention of a Legend

Intelligent power. Unapologetic presence. Heritage and innovation fused with absolute conviction.
The G 580 with EQ Technology embodies these qualities in their purest form — an icon reimagined for a new era of electric capability.

Every line, every surface, every detail remains unmistakably G-Class, yet elevated by a new expression of “Sensual Purity.” The result is a design that honours 45 years of off-road heritage while signalling a bold electric future.

Exterior Design — Iconic G-Class, Electrified

The silhouette is timeless; the execution is modern. A slightly raised bonnet, a cab-forward stance and the clean, confident geometry of the body communicate strength rooted in tradition. Subtle electric signatures — including air curtains integrated into the rear wheel-arch flares — speak to refined efficiency without compromising identity.

This is the G-Class, unmistakable at first glance. Only now, it carries the quiet authority of electric power.

Off-Road Mastery — Now with Electric Precision

The G-Class has dominated unforgiving terrain for decades. The G 580 with EQ Technology continues this legacy — and in several disciplines, surpasses it.

Its fully electric drivetrain not only preserves off-road capability but unlocks entirely new possibilities:

Signature Off-Road Features

• G-TURN (03Q): Allows the vehicle to rotate around its own axis on loose surfaces — up to two full turns — transforming tight spots into effortless manoeuvres.
• G-STEERING (04Q): Dramatically reduces the turning circle on unpaved terrain by adjusting individual wheel torque, enabling hairpin turns without the need to reverse.
• Off-Road Crawling (05Q): Provides controlled, low-speed progress over steep or loose surfaces. Once a range is engaged, the vehicle maintains speed automatically in up to three creep levels.
• Water-wading depth: Up to 850 mm, giving confidence in deep and unpredictable terrain.

Despite its electrified nature, the G 580 remains an authentic off-roader — and in agility, it even outperforms its combustion-engine sibling thanks to remarkably precise torque vectoring.

Engineered for Extremes

Strength starts at the foundation. The G 580 with EQ Technology continues the G-Class tradition of resilience with a robust build:

Uncompromising Architecture

• Ladder-type steel frame up to 3.4 mm thick, forming the backbone of its durability.
• EQ-specific rigid rear axle with steel suspension — developed to maintain generous ground clearance and articulation even under heavy axle twist.
• 3 cm thick underguard made from a carbon-fibre-reinforced material mix, providing exceptional protection for the high-voltage battery.
• Adaptive adjustable damping (479) as standard, helping the suspension absorb uneven terrain while remaining steadfast under high loads.

From rocky climbs to desert dunes, this G-Class is engineered to withstand what the world throws at it.

Revolutionary Drive Concept — Four Motors, Infinite Control

At the heart of the G 580 lies a groundbreaking drivetrain: four permanently excited electric motors, one for each wheel.

Together with intelligent Torque Vectoring (A60), they distribute power with a level of precision no mechanical system can match. The result: traction, agility and control on a new level — especially when the terrain turns hostile.

LOW RANGE (01Q) — Electrified for Extreme Terrain

With LOW RANGE activated, the system:

• Adjusts suspension damping
• Optimises accelerator pedal response
• Enhances steering feedback

This mode also unlocks the G-Class’s most spectacular off-road functions, including G-TURN, G-STEERING and Off-Road Crawling.

A New Chapter in the G-Class Legacy

The G 580 with EQ Technology is not simply the first all-electric G-Class — it is the next evolutionary step of an icon.
A machine that respects its lineage while confidently writing its own chapter.
