Welcome to Graz, home of the #GWagon!
And Today the most iconic #MercedesBenz, the #GClass, goes fully electric. This is the G580 - Unlike all other Mercedes EVs, the G had to still be a G in electric form. This is what we expect as customers. And this was the goal of the team here in Graz!
It’s powered by 4 individual electric motors, and a huge battery in the ladder chassis. And while it mostly retains its iconic looks, I need this car to be a real G. To do that it needs to tick 3 big boxes:
Is the design unadulterated?
Does it have the performance expected of it?
And can it ever off road as good as a combustion G?
That will decide how welcoming are G customers going to be to this new model!
In terms of Performance, it’s powerful:
588 BHP
1164NM
4.7 seconds
3085 tonnes 3150 (fully loaded)
470KM Range
That’s a huge range figure, which means it Conquers Schockl 14 TIMES!! Which would take 2 days.
Speaking of Off Roading level - it’s G Level Doing everything as much as the combustion cars but with an even greater wading depth! Plus unique driving MODES:
- The 360 spinning G Turn mode! All by clever torque management, the 2 motors on each side turning in opposite directions.
- G Steering, extreme turning radius for off roading
- OFF ROAD CRAWL - almost cruise control for off roading. Select the speed and you can leave the car to manage the diff locks and range etc all by itself!
And finally, even a sound experience for driving called “ G Roar”, which you’ll get a small preview of.
We will also check out the design vs just the normal G500. And the G63. And explore what future models could come. Today we will mainly show the G580 Edition 1, and the standard car in Sand plus the availability of the Manufaktur program.
Today we’re going to explore these questions and more, and we will look in detail at the design, to what’s under the skin, and some unique driving manoeuvres and modes in this version!
Up next on RBR is the first drive of the new Aston Martin DB12, followed by a full review of the EQE 300!! Subscribe to support us and see them first. :)

[@thesneakertifosi]

Having the aero cutout, raised hood and “G” logo on the doors exclusive to the electric seems lazy tbh. The normal G should have them as well.

[@MrDismail]

It’s not lazy it’s intentional. MB wants to promote the electric G by adding features the regular G doesn’t offer.

[@seanpalmer3982]

The aero cutout actually helps the range on the E. On the ICE it'd still get 12 mpg so its not worth the design change lol

[@genesismedia765]

Great that they didn't change the exterior but one of my favorite things of the non electric version G Wagon is the Exhaust rumble .

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

Boy! Did M-B ever learn their lesson with the EQS, EQE and other similar. I think this new G580 will be a winner. Bravo G team ! Well done. Every feature and benefit is a big positive and I think you will sell as many as you can make. Realistically, I think a majority of buyer use it in the city, the range is very good. Im curious to see pricing, if it’s identical to the ICE version, I think buyers are going to lean towards EV version. Fans better get a deposit in soon.

[@effervescence5664]

3.1 Tonne edition 1 + 4 adults at 75 kilos each is 3.4 tonnes. So unless you're not carrying any luggage many people buying in the UK won't legally be able to drive it on a standard license. I am assuming the Edition 1 is without the spare wheel. Sounds like the EV age is going to either force the UK to alter licensing rules or legislation is going to end up prohibiting these vehicles in the UK if they get much heavier unless a driver has a commercial license.

[@0-Will-0]

This is an exception, EVs will get lighter because of the importance of efficiency and battery / charging tech improving. Ground-up EVs that are much bigger weigh a lot less, e.g. KIA EV9 a good spacious 7 seater is 2.5 tonne.

[@effervescence5664]

@@0-Will-0 I agree but it's a case of how close will they skirt the line before things actually get lighter. Will they even get that much lighter if they keep the packs as a removable item or are we going to end up in an iphone society where the vehicle is written off due to an integral pack altering the insurance repair costs so majorly.

[@artansadiki3244]

[@erissitone]

I am sorry, but also the badge G 580 is a nonsense. 580 means V8, come on! For me it's a mess. The new G 500 (which features a 6-cylinder engine) also had to be called something else. G 500 is only 8 cylinders.

If the EV was a viable solution, the government wouldn't need mandates and legislation to force the sale of them. The new EV G-wagon. For people that like to explore the wilds but not far from civilization.

[@MaticTheProto]

They are viable. But people like you with shit in their head would bitch and moan about them because they perceive them as „not normal“. This G has the fuel consumption equivalent of 3l/100km which is the same as the ultra efficient economy cars of the early 2000s

[@ssing7113]

😂 go look into oil subsidies then 😂

[@fisheye375]

If there is a car which has no business going electric (unlike an S class), it’s definitely a G wagon. An electric G wagon doesn’t make any sense to me. It’s the definition of ruggedness, old school, boxy and retro…how is it electric now…and everything electric don’t have to LOOk electric too. Seems like electric look means plastic everywhere now

[@iosgaming2824]

It would go electric eventually or be discontinued eventually if it didn’t go electric and with several gasoline powered ones out I don’t see why it’s a problem to sell an electric variant

I love the G63 especially 2019 and above; my question is why is it a ladder chassis? It is unable to tow, extremely heavy? Why? It doesn't carry a engine, the weight needs to be down lowered, why didn't they use a newer technology rather than using the same chasis as the gas g63? My prediction is that there are still some people who will buy this car, it will have a good market but never for too long.. Until a new chineese car or another brand that will produce a proper luxury suv. Although some people might think tesla cybertruck looks ugly but imagine a big truck with stainless steal body which is 1 meter longer, yet lighter with dual motor version and same weight in the tri motor
