There are few SUVs that are as iconic as the Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen, and the SUV has now gone electric! Mercedes-Benz has launched the G580 with EQ Technology in India with prices starting from ₹3 crore for the Edition One trim. The G580 promises to be equally capable off-road as the ICE-powered G-Wagen, and here’s a quick look at what the G580 with EQ Technology packs in.
Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology design
In terms of the design, the G580 is identical to the ICE-powered G-Wagen, and that is no bad thing because the G-Wagen has gained an iconic, cult status with its boxy shape and immense road presence. The G580 will be exclusively available at launch in the Edition One trim with 5 colours. The Edition One gets brake callipers finished in blue and the external protective moulding gets blue accents too. You also get the AMG Line, the Night Package with darkened exterior elements such as the headlights, and black 20-inch AMG wheels. Overall, the G580 is identical to the ICE-powered G-Wagen, save for the rumble of an engine under the bonnet, and it even retains the round spare wheel cover at the rear.
Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology interior
On the inside, you get a multifunction sports steering wheel finished in Nappa leather with a blue topstitching. The seat upholstery is done in nappa leather silver pearl or black with contrasting topstitching in blue, with the trim elements being carbon blue in colour. The front passenger gets a grab handle with the Edition One badging on the respective model, and the instrument panel is also done up in nappa leather with the topstitching in blue. You get ambient lighting in 64 colours and the basic layout of the interior remains unchanged. Additional equipment on the G580 includes a Burmester surround sound system 18 speakers and 760 watts of output, along with the MBUX NTG-7 infotainment with wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Also present are five drive modes, an off-road cockpit and features which include G-Turn and G-Steering, the former allowing the SUV to turn on one spot while the latter reduces the turning circle by braking the inside rear wheel during a turn.
