Mercedes-Benz is ready to launch its much-anticipated electric G-Class at the Beijing Auto Show later this month, bringing an electric revolution to the iconic G-Wagon. The vehicle, which is being presented as a fully electric version of the legendary off-roader, has generated excitement since its concept was revealed in 2021, according to Electrek.
The highly anticipated electric vehicle, known as the G-Class EQG, was initially unveiled as a concept at the Munich Auto Show in September 2021. Since then, Mercedes has been revealing details about the vehicle, including extreme climate tests conducted by CEO Ola Källenius near the Arctic Circle.
Emmerich Schiller, managing director of the Mercedes G brand, stated that the company is committed to maintaining the off-road capabilities of the electric G-Class, ensuring that it is at least as good as the internal combustion version in every aspect.
