Mercedes unveils tech-heavy electric G-Class

Surrounded by celebrities in Beverly Hills, Mercedes-Benz unveiled the 2025 G 580 with EQ Technology on a dock in the middle of a reservoir. That mouthful of a name is met with a large offering of technology packed into the luxury off-roader. Sitting atop a 116-kWh capacity battery pack, four motors (one for each wheel), a redesigned rear axle system, and a sound system feature called G-Roar, the German utility vehicle is ready to tackle the great outdoors as well as Rodeo Drive.

While its target audience in the United States will unlikely use any of the following features more than a few times a year, the transition from gas to battery has done nothing to reduce the vehicle's off-road capabilities. If anything, it's enhanced them.
