Mercedes-Benz EQG: range, price, release date, and more

The G-Class is going electric. We already knew that Mercedes-Benz was working on an electric, small-size G-Wagon, but it looks like the company is also working on a larger G-Class SUV, in the form of the EQG. In fact, Mercedes has gone as far as to show off a concept version of the off-roader.

Our Mercedes-Benz EQG wish list

While there’s much we don’t know about what will become the production model of the EQG, Mercedes has also shared a lot about it. Curious about whether the Mercedes-Benz EQG could be the EV for you? Here’s everything we know so far.

Design

Fear not — the EQG will retain many of the design aspects of the G-Class that you already know and love but with a modern face-lift. The EQG will keep the boxy design that gives the G-Class a classic look but with some additional modern styling, at least if the concept version is anything to go by.

For example, the Concept EQG offers accent lighting around the exterior of the car, including light bars along the sides and lights encircling the area where the front grille is on the non-electric version. There’s even a light bar on the roof rack. Of course, we’ll have to wait and see how much of this ends up in the final version of the vehicle — it looks like something that wouldn’t necessarily ship on the final iteration of a car. We’ve seen camouflaged final versions of the EQG, but it’s unclear if those lighting accents are covered up in images we’ve seen or if they’re simply not there.

Apart from that, the design is quite similar to the existing G-Class. The car offers a two-tone color scheme, with the bottom half silver and the top half black. It looks relatively rugged, just like the current G-Class.

Interior and tech

The interior of the car is likely to be a little different, too, though Mercedes has been closing the gap between the interior design of its gas-powered cars and electric ones. The concept iteration shows an interior with similar design sensibilities to current Mercedes EVs, with a dual display setup for infotainment and instrument monitoring.

Apart from that, interior styling looks
