2025 MERCEDES-BENZ G580 WITH EQ TECHNOLOGY REVIEW: THE ICON IS NOW ELECTRIC!

EV Channels Review

The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology successfully electrifies an iconic off-road legend, retaining its unmistakable boxy silhouette while integrating advanced electric powertrain technology. The reviewer highlights the vehicle's impressive capabilities, particularly the four-motor setup enabling instantaneous torque vectoring and the "G-Turn" feature for extreme maneuverability. While the battery pack is integrated into the frame for a low center of gravity and structural rigidity, it does slightly reduce cargo space compared to its gasoline counterparts. The interior offers a luxurious and comfortable experience with high-quality materials and familiar Mercedes-Benz MBUX infotainment, though rear passenger legroom is noted as potentially tight for taller individuals. Real-world range is reported to exceed the EPA estimate of 385 km (239 miles), with the reviewer experiencing around 400 km. Charging speeds are respectable, supporting up to 200 kW on DC fast chargers. Despite its hefty price tag, starting around $260,000 CAD and reaching over $247,000 as tested, the G580 is praised for its outstanding capabilities, refined ride, and unique blend of luxury and off-road prowess, making it a compelling, albeit niche, electric offering.
