As Part Of Its Development Process, The Electric G-Class Will Be Tested Under Extreme Conditions On The 5.5-Kilometer Schoeckl Trail To Ensure The Vehicle Is Ready To Tackle The Toughest And Most Challenging Terrain!

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.

Performance And Luxury Combined

The electric G-Class features a quad-motor system, delivering exceptional off-road performance, along with the luxury and refinement that G-Class customers expect. Mercedes plans to offer different models, including a flagship AMG model.

While final details have yet to be revealed, Mercedes suggested that the electric G-Class will have a range of about 320 to 350 kilometers with a battery of approximately 100 kWh. The vehicle will also feature a sealed battery for wading in deep waters and a protective casing made of carbon fiber reinforced polymer.

Durability Testing And Production

Before entering production, the electric G-Class will undergo 300 ascents and descents on the 5.5-kilometer trail of the iconic Schoeckl, ensuring that the vehicle is equipped to face the toughest off-road challenges. Mercedes is also planning to launch a smaller electric G-Wagon, potentially offering a more affordable option compared to the current G-Class model, which has a starting price of US$ 143,000.

With the imminent reveal of the electric G-Class, Mercedes is poised to raise the bar for excellence in electric off-road vehicles, offering a perfect balance of performance, luxury, and sustainability. The launch of the G-Class EQG promises to be a milestone in the brand’s history and in the world of electric vehicles.

Mother and daughter build a 70 m² house with more than 8,000 discarded glass bottles and impress with their creativity; known as the Casa de Sal, the property is located on Itamaracá Island, in Pernambuco.

The river that “dies” in the desert never reaches the sea and yet gives life to one of Africa’s largest natural refuges in a truly impressive way.

He transformed an abandoned plastic water tank into an underground house in the “hobbit hole” style, using only repurposed pallet wood, without heavy machinery or expensive labor.

Libya built over 4,000 kilometers of underground pipelines to bring water from the Sahara to coastal cities in a project that the government itself called the Eighth Wonder of the World.

China transforms desert-devastated area into the world’s largest artificial forest, planting trees for 60 years, blocking sand that reached Beijing, and creating a “green lung” of 92,000 hectares in a region once considered lost.

Toyota launches “family hybrid van” with 7 or 8 seats, 1.8 hybrid engine, fuel consumption of up to 23.8 km/l, and a price equivalent to about R$ 104,000 without taxes, below the Tiggo 8 Pro Plug-in Hybrid sold in Brazil: meet the Noah Hybrid 2026 in Japan.

Desert sand, previously discarded for being too smooth for concrete, becomes an ecological brick in the United Arab Emirates, dispensing with Portland cement, curing at room temperature, and attempting to transform dunes useless for construction into raw material for a new arid engineering.

Researchers reveal in Acre a network of nearly a thousand pre-Columbian roads totaling 350 km; some are more than 15 meters wide, reach 5.5 km, and lead to mysterious geoglyphs.

Ice cube on the hot frying pan: the trick that generates steam in seconds, reduces overheating spots, and helps to make vegetables golden on the outside and soft on the inside without burning them.

A Brazilian living in rural Japan tested Uber Eats in the small town where he lives and discovered firsthand what any experienced delivery person already knows: away from the capital, the app hardly gets any orders, and when it does, it pays little.

Three doors, concept look, and FIPE value of R$ 62,524: The 2013 Hyundai Veloster delivers a 1.6 engine with 140 hp, a 6-speed automatic transmission, and a design that still seems too strange to go unnoticed.

A Land Rover that used to do 1.8 km per liter now does 8 km per liter after a 34-year-old Kenyan engineer installed an ECU he designed himself, which is already being ordered from Zambia, Canada, and Pakistan.

Cheaper than new HB20, Onix, and Argo, this German sedan offers a 510-liter trunk, a 2.0 naturally aspirated engine, a 6-speed Tiptronic automatic transmission, and well-known mechanics; the 2016 Volkswagen Jetta Comfortline still attracts attention in the used market.

A mechanic opened the engine compartment of an 11-year-old Ford to replace a part and found a wallet with money, gift cards, and the badge of the worker who had assembled that car at the factory.
