The Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology brings fully electric power to one of the most recognisable and capable luxury off-roaders ever created. While its unmistakable, upright design remains largely unchanged, beneath the surface sits an advanced four-motor powertrain producing a combined 587 hp and 859 lb-ft of torque. This allows the G 580 to accelerate from 0–60 mph in just 4.7 seconds, delivering effortless performance with the refinement and near-silent operation expected from a modern electric vehicle.

Crucially, the move to electric power has not diminished the G-Class’s legendary off-road ability. Each wheel is driven by its own electric motor, allowing power to be distributed with exceptional precision, while virtual differential locks and a two-speed transmission help it tackle demanding terrain. The headline G-Turn function can even rotate the vehicle almost on the spot, demonstrating just how effectively Mercedes-Benz has used electrification to enhance, rather than replace, the G-Class character.

The EDITION ONE was introduced as the highly specified launch model, combining an extensive list of standard equipment with a number of distinctive design details. Its interior features two-tone Nappa leather, blue contrast stitching, carbon-fibre trim and the latest MBUX technology, creating a cabin that feels suitably modern while retaining the solidity, luxury and commanding driving position for which the G-Class is renowned.
