Ever thought the legendary GELÄNDEWAGEN could get even more iconic? Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has just pulled the wraps off the highly anticipated all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, marking a monumental moment in automotive history. This isn’t just an electric SUV; it’s a bold fusion of timeless tradition and cutting-edge progress, staying true to every angular silhouette and classic element that has defined the G-Class for generations.

Electrifying Performance: Power Redefined
The heart of this electric beast lies in its four individually controlled electric motors, strategically placed close to the wheels. This groundbreaking setup makes it the first mass-produced Mercedes-Benz Group vehicle with individual-wheel drive, offering unparalleled control both on and off-road. With a total output of 432 kW (584 hp) and a staggering 1,164 Nm of torque, the electric G-Class rockets from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, reaching an electronically limited top speed of 180 km/h.
Thanks to torque vectoring and virtual differential locks, this G-Class delivers precise power to each wheel, ensuring maximum traction and confidence even on the toughest terrains without the need for manual engagement.
The Power Within: Battery and Charging
Underneath its rugged exterior, the electric G-Class houses a robust 116 kWh usable capacity lithium-ion battery, integrated into a torsion-resistant, protected casing within the ladder frame. This thoughtful design ensures a low center of gravity and exceptional rigidity, allowing it to match the legendary off-road capabilities of its combustion-engine predecessors, including an impressive 850 mm fording depth.
Charging is a breeze with both AC (up to 11 kW) and DC fast charging (up to 200 kW). A quick 32-minute charge can take you from 10% to 80% State of Charge (SoC). Plus, smart charging programs like “Standard,” “Work,” and “Home” offer convenient ways to manage your charging based on location and schedule.
Beyond the Road: Exclusive Off-Road Innovations
The electric G-Class isn’t just about going electric; it’s about pushing boundaries in off-road prowess:
- G-TURN: Prepare to be amazed! This feature allows the G-Class to perform up to two complete vehicle turns on the spot on unpaved surfaces, perfect for tight spots or just showing off!
- G-STEERING: Significantly reduces the turning circle in off-road scenarios by intelligently controlling individual wheel torque.
- Intelligent Off-Road Crawl Function: Like cruise control for off-roading, maintaining a pre-set speed (2 km/h, variable, or 8 km/h) so you can focus on the path ahead.
- LOW RANGE: A switchable off-road gear reduction system ensures maximum torque and precise control for challenging terrains.
Experience the Future of Off-Road Luxury
From its iconic angular silhouette and a new black-panel radiator grille with animated LED lighting, to the sophisticated MANUFAKTUR interior options and the immersive MBUX infotainment system with G-Class specific voice commands, every detail of the G 580 with EQ Technology speaks volumes. Even the signature G-ROARsound system has been reimagined, providing an emotional acoustic accompaniment to its powerful acceleration.
The all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology is priced from RM 958,888, while the exclusive EDITION ONE starts from RM 998,888 (including 10% ST, on the road without insurance, inclusive of wallbox with installation).
