    Mercedes to launch its most-expensive EV in India next year

    What's the story

    Mercedes-Benz has revealed plans to introduce its most expensive electric SUV, the G580 with EQ Technology (or simply said, G-Wagon EV), in India next year.

    The announcement coincided with the launch of the company's most affordable electric SUV EQA. Bookings for the G-Wagon EV have also commenced.

    Unlike other Mercedes's EVs, this model deviates from the EQ branding and is known as Gelandewagen in Germany.

    Vehicle specifications

    G-Wagon EV: A closer look at Mercedes's priciest electric SUV

    The G-Wagon EV, first unveiled as the EQG concept at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) in Las Vegas, is based on the G 580 variant of the SUV.

    It features a ladder-frame chassis, a reworked closed grille, EQ badging and several other design alterations.

    The production version of this electric SUV will be powered by a massive 116kWh battery pack that can be charged at up to 200kW.

    Power and range

    Performance and charging capabilities of the G-Wagon EV

    The electric G-Class SUV is equipped with a battery that allows for recharging up to 80% from 10% within half an hour. It's also compatible with a smaller charging capacity of 11kW.

    According to Mercedes-Benz, the vehicle can deliver more than 470km of range on a single charge.

    The SUV will be powered by four electric motors and Mercedes's all-wheel-drive system, generating an impressive 579hp of power and a peak torque of 1,164 Nm.

    Vehicle features

    G-Wagon EV's speed, off-road capabilities and infotainment features

    The G-Wagon EV can sprint from zero to 100km/h in under five seconds and has an electronically-limited top speed of 180km/h.

    It also boasts off-road technologies such as G-Turn, G-Crawl and G-Steering for enhanced maneuverability.

    The luxury electric SUV comes with a dual-screen 12.3-inch infotainment system compatible with Android Auto, Apple CarPlay and Mercedes's own connected app.

    Additional features include ADAS technology, a 360-degree camera, a Burmester sound system, and entertainment screens for rear passengers.

    Pricing expectations

    Pricing details of the G-Wagon EV in India

    The fuel-powered G-Class SUV is currently available in India at prices exceeding ₹2.50 crore.

    The electric version of the G-Class SUV has already been launched in European markets with a starting price of approximately ₹1.3 crore.

    However, due to import taxes, the cost of the electric G-Class is expected to be nearly ₹3 crore when it launches in India next year.
