Now if they could create their regular cars with "EQ Technology" instead of the weird looking cars. Like an E500 Wagon with EQ technology! 😍
Always the best videos comes from Autogefühl.
Thomas is the type of guy who irons his socks
You turning him into the German Doug DeMuro? 😂
Let's keep these comments on the Doug videos please, i don't need the Autogefühl video comments filled with these instead of discussion about the car 😅
😂😂 afterall his a German
never heard of thats actually possible. If I'd do that I wouldnt have time for car reviews ;-)
😂
AND it's Thomas Blue!😁

Thank you. But this is terrible. Way behind on every metric. Small 116 kWh and terrible Efficiency at 250 miles. 11kw Level 2 max is also not premium. So is the 200kw DC max. I understand impossible to have a low DC (.44) with a G class design but this greatly misses the mark. Also losing the Frunk potential due to battery pack means this isn’t a unique EV chassis. Bummer
400km range is enough to drive most G class owner I think. Because most of'em driving around Manhattan, Beverly Hills, London City or Ginza Tokyo. Also most of them who buy like these, have alternative G63 for long range driving...
Nobody does long distance in a G63 and if they do, they are most definitely stupid. I have traveled at motorway speeds in a G-Class and it’s crazy loud inside because of the fact that it is as aerodynamic as a brick… It is comfortable but so loud that it gets annoying
@Kurre. Yeah, and the gas bill must be expensive given the horrible drag coefficient😅
I have done 4000 km long trip in 2023 g63, it was more comfortable than lx570. Only complaint was the exhaust sound, after a few hours of constant 120kmh cruise, exhaust sound becomes so boring and starts bother you.
@@jjandos6 What was the cruising speed and rpm?
Absolutely, they’re also everywhere in southern France and southern Spain. When those places start having emission zones the same people with enough money and (questionable) taste will just switch to this.
They should just add an E at the end, like they do with diesel cars. G500, G400d, G300e
They do that already but with plug-in hybrid. C300e for instance but you’re right it would make more sense. Something like G500eq would be logical.
Yes MB needs to do something with their naming scheme again. Has gotten too ilogical. Put the engineers to come up with something and not the marketing idiots. If I was in charge I would probably start by replacing the numbers in the model designations with the rounded off hp number instead. And then maybe add a letter for the type of drive train etc.
Haha, that box on the back is like a body builder wearing a fanny pack…

Don't think anyone will be going through the Sahara dessert or long forest trips given there are no charging stations there. Looks nice.
It weighs 3100 kg din,its ridiculous😂😂😂😂,it doesnt even have sila silicon based promised battery with 40 percent higher energy density,and it has real world range of 285 km😅😅😅😅,evs are so far away from being a real practical automobiles
The only off-roading it will see is a curb at the whole foods.
@@brian4407 Haha, on accident too.
Trophy wifes will love driving it to the shops
@@davidfujkk8018400 km real world. Amd a fuel consumption around 3l/100km is converted
This is a winner, used to be taycan with €120k+ price, even more after the price increase of gen 1 for 300km range. This one looking at G wagon ICU prices €200-€300k for 400km range. I know if you can afford it it wont matter but then again 400km… thats less what I was gettin from my x5 m50d in city only driving and over twice as that on motorway.
Mercedes review by a German. Love it.
This is the internal quality that the EQS should have.
I just love your programs Thomas. Love from Sweden ❤ keep up the good work.
thank you very much my friend !
Finally… Mercedes made the G wagon EV retrofit… that Arnold Schwarzenegger already have made in 2017 with a tuning company 😅😅😅
You’re right. It a unique EV platform. Bummer
Electric G wagon just does not have the same effect. It's a car for showing off, G63 is the only version that should exist.
The g63 literally only is for showing off
Keyless Go finally! This and the touchscreen just makes sense. Great looking truck - those aero seals work well on the pillars and roof seams
What an npc you are
@@lincolnmarklt sure Jan
Keyless Go and a screen but no towing capacity at all. LOL! Big fail!
@@elg1gy no one really tows with a G, that's what the GLS is for and buyers with towing in mind (any sort of real towing) aren't going to opt for an EV over ICE - not yet anyway. I'm sure the G towing crowd is out there but this is mostly a truck you have at the Hamptons home to haul your kids around in and a go out to dinner vehicle.
@@salukiconvertLOL! You cant know anything at all about the Geländewagen. I drove Geländewagen with a big hanger daily in the military.
Best looking of all EQ models from Mercedes-Benz. The horizontal lightbar at the rear end used in the latest Mercedes-Benz design language is among the ugliest if not the ugliest in the automotive industry.
A converted ICE car will never be as efficient as a dedicated platform. But hey, is a G-Klass, you don't care about the fuel/charging costs...
If they changed the looks they‘d get crucified
@@MaticTheProto Totally agree :-). Just that not only the looks were important for a G-Klass. That bassy roar V engine was the soul. Now is just a silent-good looking-box
We build Legend G-Class since 1979-now, 2001 Mercedes Benz G350 current: $10K, add MG4 Xpower AWD, Dual Motor: $25K, Total: $35K, No Need G65 AMG, G63 AMG 4.0L V8, G500, We had G-EV Dual Motor AWD 435 hp, No Gasoline, No Diesel, No LPG, We loved real environment, no air pollution for city or forest
6:30 Camera man be like: "I'm not getting paid enough to lay on the ground with my camera" 😅
Thank You Thomas!!! Thank You Friend Operator!!!
Great review with all the details. Thanks Thomas. Time for 1 M. subs.
thanks m8 ! With your support! :)
Thomas love to see u back and hear ur voice man if i ever get to Germany i will meet u🇵🇰
best greetings!
Great video, and it's so fun to see him reply to people in the comments I still wonder about the rear centre armrest/ centre console, but that feels nitpicky I look forward to the driving of this in the days to come ☺
thanks keep tuning in !
“Somewhat bad” is putting it lightly 😂
Politically correct 😅
Absolutely love it, love the color.
As usual the absolutely best videos found on this channel. Keep up. the good work! - Thomas, do you have any thoughts on real world range? Is it around 300 km?
400
@@MaticTheProto Thanks! Sounds very promising. Love my EQS 580 but 400 km is ok for me 🙂
Thanks ! My estimation was also in the video
Waiting for a durability test from Whistlindiesel now 😅
Hi Thomas Germany nice job new Mercedes G-Class G580 EQ!
🙏🙏
How many standstill turns before you destroy the tires?
Great review as allways.👍 I've notised that its sometimes hard to show the trunk/boot when everything is black and dark.. maybe you should have a light collored bag/rucksack or jacket to throw in, just to help show of the size and shape to get some light in there, to help the camera a bit. Just a thought 😊
Thanks 🙏
Actually a light backpack would do exactly the opposite and claim the light 😅
Love your glasses 👌What model is that?
I can't believe the keyless go is new😮 it is there on our 2013 prius
Does it have AC and DC power outlets?
Wait, they use last gen key style. Perfect!!!
Cheers Thomas
the only one who got the seat folding RIGHT
👍👍
is there a space for your spare tire?
Many thanks for the wonderful preview of the electric G, Thomas! Also great to hear that there will be some animal-free options for the seats, dashboard, and door trim in the future. 👍🏼
appreciate the support !
Love this...just need to win the lottery
Get a life
You didn't mention the new touch pad in the centre console as an alternative to the touch screen usage.
Wonder how that 2 speed gear box functions... If its a real mechanical gear box.. or if they can simulate gears by altering the windings in use in the motors..
Its actual gears
🤔 Mmmmmmmmm Thomas, you should do your first " ASMR Short Video " with this new G Wagon ... Too many good sounds to pass up
sure: vm.tiktok.com/ZGe9hHcGr/
Grow up
I was dying to know about the electric version. I am a little disappointed by the grill. Will there be an option to pay for the grill to look like the combustion model?
Good luck to them with that range!
Mercedes: pls call me Mercedes G-Class with EQ tech! Me: OK EQG Mercedes: No, I'm Mercedes G-Class with EQ tech! Me: Sorry EQG
.45 drag coefficient, as aerodynamic as a brick 🧱
I can't believe they missed the frunk! Such a bummer. It would've made the electric G perfect.
Love it. G580 is all you need to say. Oh, where is the CLE53 Cabriolet?
We ll keep u updated!
What an interesting car and review, thank you. The off road stuff as described is really good and useful. For something like this I do not care about poor CD values. However if it is really to do an off road job do you really want such an on road Chelsea interior which is not going to last a minute on a farm’s hillside when lambing and full of ewes, lambs, and sheep dogs. Is it really going to do proper rugged forest work or merely ensure you can eat your forest picnic in comfort. To put it bluntly what is this for? Will anyone who really needs working off road buy it?
thanks!
Maybe the ones who really loves an ev will buy it
Maybe the ones who really love EVs will buy it
Titan Silicon-based anodes lithium-iron phosphate battery ?
Hi, Does this model have, The new immobiliser Mercedes-Benz's Ghost II system completely undetectable to a vehicle thief ? Thanks.
3:10 is that design box lockable?
Afaik with the central lock, i gotta check
Price will start at €142,621.50 ($152,184.27), while the first edition trim goes for €192,524.15 ($205,432.89)
G turn is same as what byd have with they yangwang u8 suv i think
Sadly it’s very disappointing and that price / lack of range is a miss for me
Unexpected design!
I think I shorter version of the name like "G-class EQ" for example and etc would be better kinda,so it can go for all the other models
We can call 2 step ev power distribution
After this presentation, I want this car 😂
Any 4x4 square EV news?
This and the rolls Royce spectre are the only cars that really make sense as an EV at the moment.
I wish it would be 30 cm Longer for more space in the trunk.
Want to see the G turn
we can show that to you when we drive it
...and I thought EV Hammer was the dumbest idea , the EV G-class got even worse .
Mercedes need to get rid of the EQ line and simply electrify their normal cars from the ground up like this G-Wagon!
This just ensures the most off-roading this g class will do is accidentally drive over the curb
Do not forget to pack a sustainable diesel generator for charging in the wild...
Lets hear the sound
How much ?
The petrol/diesel G-Wagon’s hold their value very well - I suspect this electric one may struggle… 😬
Maybe. But if I were a buyer on the 2nd hand market, I would not that an internal combustion G Wagen might have some expensive repairs becoming due whilst the electric version would be mostly maintenance free making it more attractive.
@@ewadge Until you replace the battery..
Hearsay of a car. Gr8 video btw
thanks keep tuning in !
I think Mercedes went wrong withe the G580 EQ. Not efficient, not 800V and using 4 mtors has non sense at all. Too much raw materials for nothing, and 3000 kg ? BTW I am a pro EV, but this is nonsense :(
You don't have to be an engineer to imagine that without engine noise, the wind noise will be unbearable and the energy consumption ridiculous. I'd definitely feel uncomfortable, to say the least, knowing that the battery pack is submerged 0.5m in the water!
There is 1 potential downside of having 4 motors instead of 1 with transmission axles. If only 2 wheels have grip you can only use 1/2 of the full power of 4 motors. Might potentially be enough still. But its how it technically will work.
Not necessarily, max power of 4 motors will probably exceed max power of the battery. Best guess it'll never be a problem, a single motor will move it along until you get grib again.
This dash layout has been around since 2015. They need to change it.
I'm not happy about the 400km range , turn on AC will drop to 250km .
ye, better for offroad, with those tires definitely :D
But why that high glossy black front. Thats what i wanna know
I like this one
I wonder if parking garages have taken the weight of EV cars into account? Never heard anyone talk about that.
That G-turn thing must absolutely destroy the wheel bearings - massive lateral forces...
I wish Mercedes-Benz a lot of success with this vehicle on the current EV market.
Came to see the G-turn, left disappointed. Great review as always!
Was not allowed at that time. Can show u soon on driving event
10:50 Ignition 🤭
Offroad with an EV? It's literally called "OFF" any roads, away from charging infrastructure! Making such a product puts some serious questions in my head. Sure some enthusiasts buy ok, but then what?
Don't think Mercedes has finally innovate something, the 360° turning was donne by BYD 1st
An electric G Klasse is as much needed as ketchup on a wagyu steak. 🤦♂️
It must be a strong contender for the most nonsense EV. :-) How did they manage to do not find a space for the frunk? And this extra box at the back for the AC cable. :-) The form over the function all the way! Anyway, as always a nice review. 👍
Thanks stay with us!
The fact that Mercedes couldn't fit a frunk in this ginormous vehicle is a testament to how poor their packaging is. Mercedes-Benz EV efforts have been extremely weak this far and the G class EV doesn't seem to have the ambition to reverse that trend.
Could not agree more!
el compsumtion 100kwh/100 km
G-Class Electric is simple and should do it, for namaing.
More than 3t wages is not for off-road iven if you have 4 electric engines
G class EQ is good enough
Range ?
estimation also in the video!
A square spare tyre obviously makes more sense than an electrical G Class 🤔
I want one…. But - it’s so expensive. The ICE version is much cheaper
Yes, great but, does it bounce?!
