Mercedes-Benz announced Gelendvagen technology. Its official name is Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ control.
The design remains square. The front now features a closed grille with fascia like the 2021 concept.
The hood of the car became a little higher, and curtains appeared in the rear arches. This is done to improve aerodynamics.
The electric Gelik can be purchased without a rear spare wheel. In this case, instead of it there will be a square box for storing charging.
The appearance is also largely reminiscent of the regular G-Class, so the difference is not immediately obvious.
Now to the most interesting part: the characteristics. The car has four electric motors – one for each wheel. In design they produce 579 hp. and 1164 Nm of torque.
Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h takes 4.7 seconds. Top speed is electronically limited to 180 km/h. The battery will allow you to travel approximately 473 km on one charge.
The electric Gelendvagen is equipped with the G-Roar system, which simulates engine noise. Inspired by the petrol group’s “emotional V8 sounds”, G-Roar will use external speakers for sound that emulate the “deep bass and ringing tones” of petrol Gelicas. The sound will change depending on the driving mode.
It’s still an SUV. It can overcome fords up to 850 mm deep and slopes up to 35 degrees. The car has a virtual differential lock.
Another interesting thing: the electric car received the G-Turn tank turning function. It will work on loose, unpaved roads and only at low speeds.
Since this is an SUV, the engineers took care to protect the battery and cover it with a skid plate made from a “smart blend of materials” that includes carbon. It is lighter than steel or aluminum guards and offers better protection.
Prices for the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with the EQ version start at $152 thousand (~14.2 million rubles). But in the first year, only the Edition One version will be sold, which costs at least $205 thousand (~19.2 million rubles). The Edition One electric vehicle will be sold exclusively in the United States starting in the second half of 2024. [The Verge]
