The G580 name means it sits a rung below the G63 AMG model in the G-class range, but with over 800lb ft over torque and an electric motor for each wheel its party trick is on-the-spot ‘tank turns’.
A look-at-me viral # beckons, but does the addition of this all-electric version make for a better Mercedes G-class? Top Gear Magazine’s Deputy Editor, Ollie Kew, is your guide…

This? Or a G63?
-
"better than the internal combustion version in every way" "Not rated for towing"
-
If it’s not called the EQG, why put it in the title?
-
Imagine doing a 180 when the a**hole behind you honks the second the stop light turns green😂
-
"Finally we have a badge on the back of a Mercedes that actually means something " 😂
-
Closes door with one finger: "Look How They Massacred My Boy"
-
I’m sorry but it’s not a G wagon if you can close the door on the first try. The rest I don’t care hahahahaha
-
Americans will understand how pivotal a proper quad motor setup is for off-roading. (Rivian)
-
These will be the most affordable G-Wagons ever after 1 year of use. If you know, you know.
-
This will most likely sell like crazy in Norway.
-
I was on board until you said 3090kg. Five fat blokes in the car and you're over the 3500kg limit of a car licence before you add their luggage. Building what would be an epic tow car and then rating it at 0kg towing capacity just to avoid breaching this limit is a bit of a joke to be honest.
-
i love the design. honestly the first full eq i love to look at.
-
They had me at real buttons
-
I can’t wait for battery tech to get a bit lighter. 3090kg before you’ve sat in it is absurd for something that size.
-
3 tonnes, pot holes are bad enough, last thing we need are these on the school run.
-
Oh, they unveiled the new California-mobile.
-
Midway through the video I forgot this was a top gear review
-
One of the few car that make the "electric conversion" less painful. I'm waiting to see it offroad
-
Lmao, Mercedes is gonna be upset yall called it the EQG
-
Oh I love the exhaust note!
