has finally revealed the all-580. The concern is, does this all- ruin the heritage of this world-renowned off-roader?

For beginners, let's have a look at the design. Thankfully, the most significant changes are under the skin, so this brand new G keeps its predecessor's traditional blocky shape. In advance, there's an updated grille design, coupled with an upgraded lower bumper. You still get trim that runs across the side of the vehicle, although in this electric edition it includes a little blue stripe included! Around the back, there's an updated rear bumper, and on the back door, what as soon as held a spare wheel now holds the charging cable televisions!

Step inside and the G580 is simply as trendy and sturdy as those that came before it. There are soft-touch, top quality materials throughout, and the seats are extremely comfortable. The 580 comes with a brand-new steering wheel, upgraded infotainment and digital dial screens, together with a variety of other updates in the centre console and across the dash.

When it comes to efficiency, there are a number of choices to go through. For those not wishing to go totally electrical, there's a 3-litre diesel and a 3-litre straight-six turbo petrol, and these provide 367hp and 449hp respectively. On the other hand, the AMG G63 delivers 585hp, and all and trucks are geared up with a 9-speed automated transmission.

As for the G580, it includes an extraordinary 4 electrical motors, and these combine to produce 587hp and an eye-watering 1,164 Nm! So there's loads of power, however due to the fact that it weighs over 3 tonnes, it still takes 4.7 seconds to hit 60mph.

The entry-level diesel G-Class begins at ₤ 136,000, the all-580 begins at around ₤ 160,000, and the most powerful AMG G63 expenses around ₤ 185,000. With that in mind, ought to you choose the all-electric G580 over the G63?! You'll require to stick with Mat and see on your own!

    Turning the g wagon electric just guarantees the most off-roading this car will ever see is when the driver accidentally drives over a curb

      99% of all G wagons are driven in city centres anyways, so might as well make it electric lol

      I mean yes, 95% of owners will just drive it in the city like it has always been the case with the G-Wagon in the past decade or so, but in terms of off-roading the electric G-Wagon is just as capable as the ICE version.

      Rivian R1s owner here- my Rivian plows through deep soft beach sand with authority. I haven’t even had to air down the tires and the sand was very soft where even lifted ICE trucks were getting buried and had to be rescued. I expect the electric G Wagon to also be very good off road.
