Mercedes officials have revealed that the anticipated Mercedes EQG model is set to hit the market within 2024. The new vehicle is an all-electric version of the iconic G-Class, marking a transformative step for the G-Class in the era of new energy. With promising off-road capabilities, the new model is expected to compete notably with its largest competitor in the domestic market, the Yema Auto U8. Let’s take a sneak peek into what’s to come!
In terms of appearance, the Mercedes EQG faithfully replicates the iconic design of the Mercedes G-Class, retaining the classic G-Class styling. From the images, it appears that there might be some changes to the grille, possibly adopting the design seen in the EQ family. Despite being a new energy product with the absence of the traditional gasoline-driven passion, the information currently available suggests that the new model’s performance is still commendable. It is expected to feature four independent electric motors, leveraging this configuration for individual drive on each wheel. Additionally, the vehicle will incorporate an independent suspension system and a new rear axle structure, promising not to disappoint in terms of off-road capabilities.
In terms of the interior, the Mercedes EQG features a dual-screen design and comes equipped with a flat-bottomed sport steering wheel with twin three-spoke design. Extensive leather wrapping adds a luxurious and upscale touch to the overall aesthetic.
The EQG boasts a practical four-wheel-drive system, and a standout feature is the “Tank Turn,” allowing the vehicle to perform a 360-degree turn in place. The new model is expected to adopt a four-wheel-drive system with four electric motors and a two-speed gearbox, projecting a maximum power output exceeding 600 horsepower. Additionally, the vehicle will incorporate a newly developed silicon anode battery, offering a 20%-40% increase in energy density compared to conventional batteries. This results in a 15% reduction in weight, saving 20% of space. Moreover, the battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 20 minutes.
