The Mercedes-Benz G-Class EV (formerly known as the Mercedes-Benz EQG) is an electric mid-size luxury SUV concept unveiled by German automobile manufacturer Mercedes-Benz. It is part of the EQ family, a range that will expand to include 10 new models by 2022.[1] The EQG is based on the existing conventional ICE-powered second-generation Mercedes G-Class.

Concept EQG

On 5 September 2021, Mercedes-Benz previewed Concept EQG, the G-Class concept car with full electric drive, at IAA Mobility 2021 in Munich. Externally, Concept EQG carries the styling of the second-generation G-Class, with updated elements to distinguish the electric variant, such as a square tire cover, extensive additional LED lighting including an LED Black Panel grille, updated front and rear fascias, new 22-inch wheels, and a special roof rack. While Mercedes-Benz had not revealed the technical data as of September 2021, Concept EQG has been found to have four electric motors that are placed closer to the wheels and that can operate independently; the battery packs are 108 kWh. Additionally, a two-speed gearbox allows the gear reductions for the off-road travel.[2][3] The model names are EQG 560 4MATIC and EQG 580 4MATIC, as well as a rumored AMG variant.[4][5] A production version was confirmed for 2024.[6][7] However, it was dropped in favor of the name "G580 With EQ Technology," which is heavily based on the EQG concept.[8]
