Its four electric motors, each producing 145 hp (147 PS / 108 kW) and delivering an impressive combined torque of 1,164 Nm, enable powerful driving on any challenging terrain. The agile acceleration of 0-100 km/h in 4.7 seconds and the high performance of a top speed of 180 km/h are the hallmarks of an electric vehicle. The long driving range of up to 473 km also ensures peace of mind on long journeys.

The G580 EQ’s true strength lies in its off-road capabilities. Its excellent off-road capabilities, including the ability to climb steep inclines of up to 35 degrees, and its waterproof performance, which means it can wade through water up to 850mm deep thanks to the fully sealed battery and powertrain components, are truly unique to the G-Class. Furthermore, it comes equipped with a full range of functions to support off-road driving, including G-Turn, G-Steering, and Crawl Mode. These functions provide powerful assistance to the driver, enabling safe and comfortable driving even on rugged terrain.
