Highlights of the new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology
Electric Drive- Power & Torque:
With four individually controlled electric motors close to the wheels, the all-new electric G-Class offers a unique driving experience both on- and off-road. It is the first series production vehicle from the Mercedes-Benz Group with individual-wheel drive. The four motors are integrated in the ladder frame – two in each housing at the front and rear axles. In conjunction with ESP® and the central powertrain control (CPC), drive torque is intelligently distributed to optimize traction. With its innovative drive concept, it accelerates from 0 to 60 mph in 4.7 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 180 kmph. With peak torque from the electric motors available from a standstill, the all-electric G-Class excels with impressive power and exceptional control.
New standards of off-road performance:
Powered by intelligent systems, the car demonstrates outstanding off-road capabilities. From improved
maneuverability with G-STEERING, to intelligent off-road crawl function, to the G-TURN enabling an up to 720- degree turn on the spot. The four individually controlled electric motors located near the wheels develop a combined output of 432 kW | 587 hp. Together with the selectable LOW RANGE off-road gear reduction, these enable unique driving characteristics and exclusive functions.
The all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology has the ability to climb up to a 100 percent grade on suitable surfaces, offers high stability on lateral slopes of up to 35 degrees and a maximum water-wading depth of 850 mm.
Continuing the tradition of the design icon:
The all-new electric G-Class is immediately recognizable as a G basis its iconic design. A number of design
elements set the all-electric model apart from the AMG G 63, including a slightly raised hood and flared rear wheel arches with air curtains. These contribute to the vehicle’s optimized aerodynamics, in combination with new A-pillar cladding and a spoiler lip on the roof edge. An optional black panel radiator grille, exclusive to the G 580 with EQ Technology, is also available to further sharpen the striking electric exterior.
Extensive standard equipment, additional features and digital off-road experience:
The all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology is equipped standard with the MBUX infotainment
system (Mercedes-Benz User Experience), a multifunction steering wheel in Nappa leather, Burmester® 3D Surround Sound System, “transparent bonnet” function, KEYLESS-GO and 64-color ambient lighting, among many other features. The redesigned off-road control center and new OFFROAD COCKPIT enhance the off-road driving experience with additional digital functions.
MBUX infotainment system: intuitive operation, adaptive software and intelligent voice assistant:
The G 580 with EQ Technology is equipped standard with the MBUX infotainment system, a 12.3-inch driver display and 12.3-inch multimedia display with touch control. The display and operating concept use adaptive software to make personalized suggestions for numerous infotainment, comfort and vehicle functions.
Virtual differential locks:
The all-new electric G-Class uses torque vectoring to generate virtual differential locks. This technology makes it possible to precisely meter torque to each individual wheel. As torque builds exactly where needed within fractions of a second, the electric G-Class holds a clean, confident line even on the most challenging terrain. The virtual differential locks enable fully variable torque distribution among the individual wheels for traction with maximum flexibility without negatively impacting cornering.
Exclusive G-Class: G-TURN, G-STEERING and intelligent off-road crawl function:
With G-TURN, the electric G-Class can rotate on the spot. The vehicle performs up to two complete turns in the desired direction on unpaved or loose off-road surfaces. This not only looks spectacular but can also be helpful when driving off-road – for example, if an obstacle ahead makes it impossible to continue forward.
G-STEERING can significantly reduce the turning circle of the G 580 with EQ Technology when driving off-
road. This is achieved through targeted control of the drive torque at each individual wheel, with the vehicle turning around the inside rear wheel. The function can thus eliminate the need for multi-point turns in certain situations – for example in sharp bends or other tight spaces.
The intelligent off-road crawl function provides drivers with additional support off-road. It ensures ideal
propulsion even on loose surfaces, maintaining a pre-set speed – and thus functions in a manner similar to cruise control, but for off-road driving. The intelligent off-road crawl function is always active when the LOW RANGE off-road gear reduction is engaged.
G-ROAR: the sound of the all-new electric G-Class:
G-ROAR brings a unique sound experience to the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology. Inspired by the G-Class model family’s emotional combustion engine sounds, it provides an impressive acoustic
accompaniment to the acceleration of the electric G-Class. G-ROAR also includes an “aura” sound and a variety of “event” sounds. The “aura” sound can already be heard around the vehicle when drivers approach the electric G-Class and unlock the doors.
New OFFROAD COCKPIT:
the new OFFROAD COCKPIT can be accessed directly via the off-road control center. An overview of the most relevant information for off-road driving as well as functions to support off-road driving are shown on the driver and multimedia displays.
“Transparent hood” function:
In conjunction with the 360-degree camera, the “transparent hood” function provides a virtual view of under the front of the vehicle to enable the driver to better recognize obstacles in the vehicle’s path. The function also helps drivers to properly assess crests, embankments and hollows that may no longer be visible through the windshield, if the angle is too steep.
Battery & Charging:
At the heart of the all-new electric G-Class is the high-voltage battery with a 116-kWh usable capacity. The two-tiered lithium-ion battery with 216 cells is installed in twelve cell modules between three cooling levels. It is integrated into the steel ladder frame to ensure a low center of gravity and also makes the entire vehicle significantly more rigid. ECO Assistant and Navigation with Electric Intelligence support electric driving. Both AC and DC charging are possible thanks to a 9.6-kW on-board AC charger and a DC fast charging system with a charging capacity of up to 200 kW. With DC fast charging, the high voltage battery is able to charge from 10 to 80 percent SoC (State of Charge) in approximately 32 minutes. The all-new electric G-Class includes three charging programs – “Standard,” “Work” and “Home.” Users can set parameters such as departure time, climate control and maximum charge level.
Multi-stage high-voltage safety concept:
Mercedes-Benz has developed a multi-stage high-voltage protection concept for its electric vehicles to prevent electric shocks and high-energy short circuits. It comprises eight essential elements for the safety of the battery and all components with a voltage level of more than 60 volts. This includes, for example, a self-monitoring high-voltage system that switches off automatically in the event of a serious collision.
Suspension and drivetrain:
The all-new electric G-Class brings the off-road capability of the G-Class into the era of electric mobility. In
certain areas, the G 580 with EQ Technology even surpasses the AMG G 63 – in water-wading depth, for
example. The ladder frame has been modified and reinforced for the electric model, retaining the combination of independent double wishbone front suspension and solid rear axle.
The off-road specs:
- Ability to climb up to a 100 percent grade on suitable surfaces
- 9.8 inches of ground clearance between axles
- Maximum water-wading depth of 850 mm
- High stability on lateral slopes of up to 35 degrees
- 32-degree approach angle, 30.7-degree departure angle and 20.3-degree breakover angle
ELECTRIC DYNAMIC SELECT: additional drive program for increased efficiency:
The driving experience of the all-new electric G-Class can be adjusted at the touch of a button. ELECTRIC
DYNAMIC SELECT adjusts parameters for the motors, transmission, suspension, ESP® and steering depending on the drive program. Drivers can choose between the “Comfort,” “Sport” and “Individual” programs for on- road driving. “Trail” and “Rock” programs tailored for off-road driving are also available and can be selected via the ELECTRIC DYNAMIC SELECT switch on the center console.
