2025 MERCEDES-BENZ G580 [G] - 14 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology successfully electrifies an icon without compromising its core identity. The reviewer praises Mercedes for retaining the G-Class's signature styling and old-school feel, making it nearly indistinguishable from its gasoline counterpart, save for the lack of engine noise. Key highlights include the powerful quad-motor setup delivering 579 hp and 859 lb-ft of torque, enabling impressive off-road finesse with virtual locking differentials and true torque vectoring, all while riding on a traditional ladder frame. The interior remains classic G-Class, with subtle blue accents and modern tech like a digital cluster, large infotainment screen, and advanced driver aids. While the 240-mile range from the 116 kWh battery is adequate for daily use, highway driving may reduce this. Charging up to 200 kW allows for a 10-80% charge in 32 minutes. The reviewer finds the driving dynamics familiar, with the characteristic G-Class body roll and steering feel, but notes a smoother, more refined experience compared to the V8 models. The "G Roar" sound experience is mentioned as a subtle, optional enhancement. Despite the high price point, starting at $162,000, the reviewer concludes it's a perfect execution for those who desire the G-Class's presence and capability in an electric package.
