May 09 2024, Mercedes-Benz Vancouver
The iconic GELÄNDEWAGEN just got an upgrade. Mercedes-Benz Vancouver is proud to welcome the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, a pinnacle of engineering that merges heritage design with cutting-edge advancements. This all-electric variant not only enhances the legendary G-Class lineage but redefines the standards for luxury off-road driving.
The G 580's Electrified Heartbeat
At the centre of the G 580’s innovation is its electrified power. Boasting four independently controlled electric motors integrated into a robust ladder frame, this vehicle commands an impressive 579 horsepower and 859 lb-ft of torque.
The integration of a 116-kWh high-voltage lithium-ion battery ensures not only efficient power management but also an optimal center of gravity that supports exceptional off-road capabilities. The G 580 is adept at tackling steep grades of up to 100 percent and water fording up to 850 millimeters, surpassing both the G 550 and AMG G 63 models in prowess.
Classical Harmonizes With Contemporary
Maintaining the unmistakable G-Class silhouette, the new G 580 features subtle yet significant enhancements to affirm its modernity and function. The exterior design is refined with features such as a raised hood, new A-pillar trim and aerodynamically optimized elements like spoiler lips and rear wheel arches with air curtains.
These changes bolster the vehicle's performance by improving aerodynamics while also contributing to a quieter, more streamlined driving experience.
Inside, the G 580 is equipped with the innovative MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system, featuring dual 12.3-inch displays for both driver and central multimedia interface, replete with touch control capabilities.
This setup is complemented by advanced connectivity features and digital services that enhance both the driving experience and passenger comfort. The unique "transparent hood" technology provides virtual views of the road under the vehicle, enhancing navigation over challenging terrains.
Safety Without Compromise
The G 580 doesn’t skimp on safety, integrating numerous advanced driver-assistance systems to ensure both occupant safety and vehicle integrity. On top of the traditional safety features, the vehicle incorporates new technologies like torque vectoring to provide virtual differential locks and unique off-road attributes such as the G-TURN and G-STEERING functions, enhancing maneuverability in tight spaces or difficult terrains.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology is set to completely reshape how we think about electric mobility in rugged environments, offering a seamless blend of luxury, performance and innovative technology. This all new GELÄNDEWAGEN is an emblem of Mercedes-Benz's commitment to leading the automotive industry into a sustainable, electrified future without compromising the adventurous spirit the G-Class is celebrated for.
The 2025 G 580 with EQ Technology is expected to arrive in Canada in the second half of 2024. Be sure to book your test drive at Mercedes-Benz Vancouver.
