Would love to see offroad and 1000km
I think its still 1-2 generations too soon for an electric G-class to make sense as a replacement for the ICE version. Its just too heavy, defeating parts of its purpose it was originally built for.
The wading depth is actually 85cm, its more than the Cybertruck at 31 inches (~79 cm). Also it doesn't need any special mode…the G-class wading depth is 85 cm at all times, unlike the Cybertruck where you have to activate a wave-mode, which takes between 15-30 minutes to pressurize the battery pack and get the advertised wading depth. Mercedes did some seriously impressive engineering here, when it comes to offloading its a level above anything electric on the market, including the Rivian and Cybertruck,
Impressive car, i very much like it.
In terms of range. It has roughly the same range as the ICE G63 AMG with a thirsty V8 Bi-Turbo. As they both have approximately the same power, they compared them to each other. However, there are more civil versions of the G-class with a smaller 6-cylinder Diesel that is much more efficient and has far more range.
Very well🎉
Brick on wheels
If this was a chinese car evrybody would make fun of it. MB is lucky they have a strong brand and can put someting this on the market with a price tag 1,8 million NOK.
pretty ugly
This thing is so inefficient
what a freak this is G wagen. nothing new
It is good that they brought the G to the EV club with all the insane capabilities. The funny thing is, that most of the people buying it will probable never use any of the cool feature, but cruise in the city and bring their kids to kindergarten.
Damn that's fugly
What’s with all the glossy plastics? So tacky!
Mmm Tesla Offroad go home…
Testdrive to Nordkap ^^
No tow-bar, no roof-rack 🤔I get the car is heavy but just say you need to upgrade your license if you want to tow something and have something on your roof, if not then its not a serious off-roader just something to show off how rich you are. I seriously considered the G-Wagon back in the day when it came out, but I was not impressed with the technology being used and its off-road performance was sub-par.
Oh, I passed the car not long ago in Vestfold and I quickly understood it was not a fossil car but a EV version of the G-Wagon. Looking forward to your review when it comes out🚙
Bjorns video has a Fossil Range Rover advert it makes me watch 😂
124 mile range 10-80% change on the motorway? – yikes..
The exteriour changes mostly affect all the new type 465 G class models (e.g. the extra lamella, the changed A pillars and the little spoiler on the roof).
What is exclusive to the G580 is the changed hood (slightly higher towards the windscreen) and the air curtains in the rear fenders.
Wading depth is 850mm by the way.
10:18: The sidestep/footboard is an option, but the car you had there seems to have been more "off-road-spec" (also with the full spare wheel), where not having the sidestep is better.
16:10 low range is only available in drive program "Rock" and is also the precondition for G-Turn and G-Steering
17:30 While they are kinda thirsty the WLTP consumption of the G500 (or even the G63) is a lot less than 20l/100km
I hope you can take this thing offroad, as this is where it really shines 😊
1000 km Challenge coming 🔜
Land Rover should have done this with the Defender, but they wanted to build money spinning crap instead of building on their heritage… this is a beautiful combination of modern tech with a long heritage of the G-Wagon..
I know that the electric car is the future, but man I would never bring this car offroading/adventure and camping just because the range won't be enough.
Lägendewagen!
Man I would definitely consider the Gelandenwagan EQ for off-road. I don’t like the fossil version for some reason 🤔. I think your 1000km challenge will be off-road.
Thisss is an awesome car – Mercedes knocked it out of the park here. Way better car and tech compared to the fossile version.
