And get this, instead of the expected EQG name, they’re going with something snazzy: the Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology. It’s like the classic G-Class we all know and love, but with a futuristic electric twist!
Now, here’s where things get really exciting: this electric powerhouse has not one, not two, but four electric motors packed under the hood!
That’s right, a whopping 579 horsepower and a massive 859 lb-ft of torque! And get this – each wheel gets its very own motor, giving this SUV some serious
oomph and even the ability to pull off some jaw-dropping maneuvers like spinning in place. How cool is that?

To make things more fun, Mercedes added a sound system called G-Roar. It makes the G580 sound like a classic G-Class with deep, rumbling noises. And when you approach the SUV, it even makes a special sound to greet you.
While it keeps the classic G-Class shape, the G580 has a few tweaks to make it work with electric power. It’s got cool features like air curtains and a raised hood to help it slice through the air better. And there are some fancy optional extras, like special lights and extra storage at the back.
Step inside, and you’ll find a fancy cabin with all the latest tech. Big screens, voice controls, and comfy seats covered in nice leather – it’s all there. Plus, there’s even a special edition called the Edition One, which comes with extra fancy features and unique paint colors.
In short, the Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology is a big step forward for the legendary G-Class. With its electric power, cool features, and rugged style, it’s ready to take on whatever adventures come its way.
