Concept car · 2021 · Electric
The electric G-Class, stronger than time.
Unveiled at IAA Mobility 2021, the Concept EQG showed that the iconic G-Class could go fully electric without losing its boxy silhouette or off-road credibility. It used four individually controlled electric motors near the wheels plus a shiftable two-speed gearbox for a low-range crawler mode, and hinted at a G-turn on-the-spot party trick. A charging-cable storage box on the tailgate replaced the traditional spare wheel. It directly previewed the production G 580 with EQ Technology.
