As part of Mercedes-Benz massive shift toward electric vehicles, earlier this month Mercedes revealed an electric concept version of its luxury off-roader, the G-Wagen.
Officially known as the Concept EQG, Mercedes-Benz didn’t provide much about the electric SUV at the unveiling at the Munich Auto Show. Mercedes didn’t provide information on estimates for range, battery size, or the power output of the electric motors.
However, what we do know is that the Concept EQG will be all-wheel drive with 22-inch wheels, and it will have a low and high gear. The EQG also has the same kind of two-tone paint job that Mercedes-Benz used on the first editions of its electric EQS sedan.
The current concept has an illuminated grille the company has been toying with on some other concepts and production vehicles.
Whenever a production EQG arrives on the market, it’ll join a crowded field of electric vehicles that can handle rough terrain. General Motors revived the Hummer brand and is making two all-electric versions of it: an SUV and a pickup truck. EV startup Rivian is about to launch its first pickup truck, with an SUV coming later this year. Ford has teased that an all-electric version of its newly-revived Bronco SUV will eventually hit the road.
You can expect the production EQG to be loaded with all the same kinds of features that Mercedes-Benz has been rolling out in its newest, most expensive vehicles, like the EQS sedan.
