Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has officially launched the all-new Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, marking a major step forward in blending iconic design with cutting-edge electric innovation. This new electric version of the legendary G-Class keeps the beloved boxy look but packs a futuristic punch under the skin.

According to Amanda Zhang, CEO and President of Mercedes-Benz Malaysia, the electric G-Class reflects the brand’s commitment to innovation, performance, and sustainability. It’s a symbol of progress, staying true to the rugged G-Class DNA while embracing the brand’s “Ambition 2039” vision for a greener future.

Nadia Trimmel, VP of Marketing & Sales, highlighted that the electric G 580 offers an uncompromised off-road experience. With advanced features like G-TURN, G-STEERING, and up to 473 km of range (WLTP), it redefines luxury electric mobility.

The G 580 is powered by four electric motors, each placed near the wheels, delivering a combined output of 432 kW (587 hp) and a whopping 1,164 Nm of torque. This enables a 0-100 km/h sprint in 4.7 seconds, with a top speed of 180 km/h. Its electric setup allows for ultra-precise torque distribution, offering superior traction and control, even on rough terrain.

A 116 kWh lithium-ion battery, protected in a steel ladder frame, gives the G 580 its off-road confidence and a range of up to 473 km. It supports 11 kW AC and 200 kW DC fast charging, reaching 80% charge in just 32 minutes.

The electric G-Class includes regenerative braking that converts energy while slowing down or coasting. Drivers can adjust the level of energy recuperation using steering paddles.

The G 580 retains legendary G-Class off-road capabilities and even improves on some areas:

  • Ground clearance of 250 mm
  • Fording depth up to 850 mm
  • Gradeability up to 100%
  • Side slope handling up to 35°
  • Approach/departure angles of 32° and 30.7° respectively

Features like LOW RANGE mode, adaptive damping, and intelligent crawl functions give drivers full control in the toughest conditions.

From ELECTRIC DYNAMIC SELECT to the quirky G-TURN (which allows the vehicle to rotate on the spot), Mercedes has packed the G 580 with unique electric-first features. The G-STEERING system helps in tight off-road corners, while the intelligent off-road crawl function keeps speed steady on uneven terrain.

The G-ROAR sound system adds a deep, emotional soundscape inspired by V8 engines, customizable through drive modes. On the outside, the G 580 maintains its iconic shape but gets modern touches like a black-panel grille, LED light band, and 20-inch AMG wheels.
