In terms of appearance, the Mercedes-Benz EQG concept car continues the design language of the fuel version of the big G, the body appearance is very square and adopts the design of hard lines, even the iconic headlights are completely replicated. The sides and rear of the concept car have also changed very little compared to the fuel version, mainly eliminating the tailpipe.

Inside, the Mercedes-Benz EQG Concept is basically the same design as the current Mercedes-Benz G-Class, featuring a dual-screen design that connects the full LCD instrument cluster to the center multimedia display, and is paired with the latest dual three-spoke flat-bottomed sports steering wheel.

At this year’s CES, Mercedes blocked off a section of the Las Vegas Strip late at night, allowing four prototypes to perform a tank-turning function called “G-Turn”. The feature utilizes the SUV’s four electric motors to rotate the car 360 degrees in place, but Mercedes says the “G-Turn” is for off-road use only, not for public roads.

Mercedes says the G-Turn allows for a 720-degree turn, but drivers can also use it to make 90-degree turns and tackle complex terrain more easily. The feature is activated by pressing a button on the dashboard and then holding the steering wheel’s shift paddles.

For the time being, no official information has been released about the new car’s power and other details, and we will continue to pay attention and bring follow-up reports.

“Mercedes-Benz EQG concept car”

At the 2023 Shanghai Auto Show, the Mercedes-Benz EQG concept car unveiled its mystery and made its debut. Let’s briefly review it. In terms of appearance, the Mercedes-Benz EQG highly restores the exterior design of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. Even the headlights of the new car are completely reproduced. The grille seems to have changed, and it is expected that the grille design of the EQ family may be adopted. Although this is already a “big G” without an engine, in order to retain the original hardcore SUV style, the front engine compartment has been retained.

The design of the side and rear of the vehicle is completely the same as that of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. However, from the chassis point of view, it seems that there are obvious differences. The exhaust system has disappeared, and there are two differences at the front and rear of the vehicle. At the same time, EQG will provide a motor for each wheel, which means a total of four motors.

In terms of interior, the design of the new car is basically the same as that of the current Mercedes-Benz G-Class. It adopts a dual-screen design that connects the full LCD instrument panel and the central control multimedia display, and is equipped with the latest dual three-spoke flat-bottomed sports steering wheel. The design of the console is still full of “G flavor”, and the central tunnel area is equipped with a touch panel and some silver decorative panels. Even a pure electric vehicle can still show the texture of off-road + luxury + technology.

It is worth mentioning that the new car has basically eliminated physical buttons in the entire interior, but retains the exciting triple differential lock button. However, we have observed that the function of these three buttons has changed. It is no longer a differential lock switch, but a switch for functions such as EQG Tank Turn, which allows the vehicle to rotate 360 degrees in place.

In the power part, the currently known information is still that it will use four-wheel independent motors and use this feature to achieve four-wheel independent drive; in addition, the new car will also use independent suspension and a new rear axle structure, which will not make it difficult to off-road. People are disappointed. In terms of battery life, Mercedes-Benz officials stated that the new car will be equipped with a newly developed silicon anode battery, which will increase the battery energy density by 20%-40%.

The All electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class has changed the front grille to a closed design, and added LED light sources in many parts of the body, such as the grille frame, body waistline, roof and other parts. At the same time, the new car is equipped with a 22-inch rim with surface cutting technology and a concave “pot lid” rim style.

The pure electric G-class will be equipped with 4 motors, each of which drives a wheel and can be controlled independently. With the support of the electronic control system, the pure electric G-class can realize functions such as “tank U-turn (G-turn)”. At the same time, the car will provide three kinetic energy recovery modes, namely D+, D, and D-, and support multiple driving modes of Eco, Comfort, Sport, Trail, Rock, Sand, and Creeper.

Mercedes-Benz has not disclosed the power information of the EQG, but based on the performance of the EQS 580 SUV 4MATIC model, the maximum power of the pure electric G-Class is expected to be between 609-679 horsepower. In terms of battery life, it is expected that the maximum battery life of the pure electric G-Class may be around 500 kilometers.

“It’s an EQG, not an SUV,” insists Emmerich Schiller, CEO of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class sub-brand. It’s a 4×4, a true G-Class. As such, the EQG is subject to the same tough testing regime, and it is not weak against rivals equipped with petrol engines.

This means that the battery-electric vehicle has withstood the 1,240-mile tortuous off-road test route around the Schöckl mountain. Schöckl Mountain is located in Graz, Austria. Mercedes-Benz usually conducts off-road tests here, so the EQG must also undergo mountain torture tests like its “grandparents”.

There is no information on the parameters other than these pictures, but considering that the EQS SUV has a rated output of 536 horsepower, I believe the EQG should also be able to achieve power within 600 horsepower.

It is said that this car will also debut silicon anode batteries with extremely high energy density. This battery technology comes from Sila. Compared with batteries currently on the market, the energy density of this battery can be increased by 20-40%, reaching 800Wh / L The above can significantly increase the cruising range of the vehicle.

It is understood that the Mercedes-Benz EQG will have a lower center of gravity and better stability than the G-Class, but due to the existence of the battery pack, the curb weight will increase significantly. The latest news is that the curb weight of the car may be controlled within 3500 kg Inside.

In addition, the car is equipped with four motors, each of which drives a wheel. Through the electronic control system, the front, middle and rear differential locks of the G-level can be simulated to improve off-road climbing capabilities.

It also has a customized independent front suspension, a rigid rear axle specially developed for electric vehicles, and four drive motors. The Mercedes-Benz EQG supports the tank U-turn function, effectively reducing the turning radius of the vehicle, and even realizing turning in circles!

Foreign media predict that EQG can reach 200,000 US dollars (about 1.432 million yuan), which is higher than the current top AMG G 63.

The Mercedes-Benz EQG will be the first Mercedes-EQ production vehicle to use EQXX battery technology, the company has learned. A representative from Mercedes-Benz did not immediately respond to a request for comment, though such a reaction is understandable considering that the automaker usually refuses to discuss speculation about future products.

Basically, the EQG is an electric version of Hyundai’s G-Class SUV. It uses a ladder-frame structure, although its underpinnings are said to have been strengthened to handle the extra weight of the batteries. Mercedes has not announced when the EQG will transition from concept to production, but according to what the automaker said in a recent interview, it could be as early as 2024 or 2025.

Some of the EQXX’s innovations are also apparently intended for a new compact car platform, according to an interview with CEO Markus Schäfer earlier this year.

The EQXX uses a 100kWh battery, but thanks in part to revised anode chemistry, Mercedes has squeezed some impressive mileage out of the car – mainly recently driving up to 747 miles on a single charge. Instead of using heavy, energy-wasting liquid cooling, the battery actually relies on a lot of air cooling. When it comes to vehicles like the EQG that will undoubtedly tip the scales high, minimizing unnecessary weight and reducing inefficiencies would be the best way to produce a car with a competitive range.
