The future of the G-class lies in electricity. As we know, Mercedes continues it EQG developmentA 100% electric version of its SUV, a model whose content was foreshadowed by the concept presented at the Monaco Motor Show 2021. Now, thanks to a spy video from walkoARTvideos, we can take a fresh look at the forklift, this model is designed to take on classic road tests.
The German brand’s SUV still looks camouflaged, with films that try to hide design details. However, the camouflage cannot hide the shapes that characterize all versions of the G-Class, the style, in fact, will always remain the style of the endothermic model we are familiar with. Even the battery version will count on a frame with spars and crossbars as well as on independent suspension on the front axle and on a rigid axle on the rear.
The video does not allow viewing the interior. However, this is not a problem, because in the past a series of spy photos have appeared that have allowed us to look into the cabin, which will have a lot in common with that of the endothermic G-Class. In particular, the instrument panel will be dominated by a large digital instrument screen and the MBUX infotainment system.
As for the powertrain, it is known that the electric SUV will also be offered in a version with a powertrain equipped with 4 electric motors, one per wheel. Information on power and performance is not yet available. However, in the past, the German car manufacturer has said that an electric SUV could be very efficient off-road, offering a top-notch driving experience, just like an endothermic model.
In addition, some variants of the future EQG will also be offered with batteries equipped with silicon anode cells, which will provide higher energy density and therefore better autonomy. The presentation of the electric SUV is expected in 2024.
