Mercedes unveils 2025 electric G-Class, with 4 motors and tank turns
The model keeps the design of a G-Class, but has 4 EV motors for even better off-roading... for the ~3 people who will ever take it off-road.
At the time we had almost no details, but now we’re learning all about the upcoming electric off-roader here in the wilds of… Beverly Hills, California (a simultaneous reveal happened in China at the Beijing Auto Show). 4 wheel motors also means the G580 will be capable of what Mercedes calls G-Turn, its branding of what we’ve previously seen referred to as “tank turn” when Rivian was working on it (but later abandoned and pivoted to “front dig mode” instead). Mercedes also has a G-steering feature, which is sort of a mini-version of the G-turn, which will help you make extremely tight turns by activating torque vectoring and giving you just a little bit of spin (though unlike the EQS, it doesn’t have rear-wheel steering).
