The Mercedes-Benz EQG Concept previews an upcoming all-electric version of the G-Class SUV.
Full technical details haven't been revealed, but Mercedes-Benz said it will feature a separate electric motor at each wheel with a low range for off-roading and will be able to climb grades up to 45 degrees steep. The current V8-powered $132,800 G550 is a popular model with a dismal EPA combined fuel economy rating of 18 mpg. When it was introduced in at the 2018 Detroit Auto Show, electric vehicle advocate Arnold Schwarzenegger urged Mercedes-Benz boss Dieter Zetsche to do an electric version and the EQG fulfils his promise to the former California governor. EQG-specific design touches include illuminated rub strips along its sides and a storage box for the charging equipment on the rear tailgate where the spare tire carrier is located on the G-Class.
