Mercedes G-Class EQ (W465) at a glance
Quick model context before comparing photos and trim-level specifications.
Entering the electric era, the G-Class EQ replaces traditional combustion engines with a highly capable electric architecture while keeping its recognizable shape. Built on a sturdy ladder-frame chassis that now houses a 116 kWh lithium-ion battery, this SUV lowers its center of gravity to improve on-road stability. Rather than a standard single or dual-motor setup, Mercedes opted for four independent electric motors. This configuration allows for precise torque vectoring and advanced off-road maneuvers that were previously impossible. The vehicle continues to target luxury SUV buyers who require serious all-terrain capability alongside premium cabin features. The W465 generation merges legacy G-Class ruggedness with the instant torque and silent operation of an EV.

Mercedes G-Class EQ (W465) overview
Editorial context for design, cabin, performance, practicality, and buyer notes.
Design
The exterior of the G-Class EQ maintains the legendary, upright silhouette but incorporates specific aerodynamic updates to reduce wind noise and drag. Changes include a reshaped hood, a new roof spoiler, and revised A-pillars. The front fascia features a solid black panel grille, while the expanded rear wheel arches house integrated air channels for high-speed stability. These modifications help the large SUV cut through the air more efficiently without losing its traditional utilitarian appearance.
Interior
Inside, the cabin features premium materials such as Nappa leather and carbon fiber trim elements. The dashboard is anchored by the MBUX digital interface, utilizing dual 12.3-inch screens for the instrument cluster and infotainment system. Standard equipment includes 64-color ambient lighting and a Burmester 3D Surround Sound audio system. The center console retains dedicated off-road controls, now updated for the electric drivetrain. Additionally, a transparent hood camera feature allows drivers to see obstacles directly beneath the front bumper during trail driving.
Performance
Power comes from four independent electric motors producing a combined output of up to 587 horsepower and a massive 1164 Nm of torque. This setup propels the heavy SUV from zero to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, with a top speed limited to 180 km/h. The 116 kWh battery yields a WLTP range of 434 to 473 kilometers. Off-road performance is enhanced by G-TURN and G-STEERING capabilities, plus a specialized crawler gear mode. The vehicle also includes a unique G-ROAR acoustic system to generate synthetic driving sounds.
Practicality
As a large mid-size SUV, the electric G-Class offers spacious seating for five passengers. The trunk capacity ranges from 555 to 640 liters depending on the specific configuration. While the ladder frame and heavy battery pack push the curb weight to roughly 3,000 kg, the vehicle maintains a robust ground clearance of up to 250 mm. Fast-charging capability at up to 200 kW allows the battery to replenish from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 32 minutes, making highway trips and longer journeys practical.
Safety and tech
Safety and convenience technologies include standard automatic emergency braking, lane keeping assist, and full LED headlights. The advanced quad-motor system itself acts as a dynamic safety mechanism, constantly adjusting power to individual wheels to maintain traction in poor conditions. Inside, the digital MBUX system supports modern connectivity with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, supplemented by a wireless smartphone charger, memory seats, and standard keyless entry.
Buyer notes
When researching the G-Class EQ, pay attention to specific trim levels, such as the G 580 EQ. The quad-motor setup is standard, but the exact range will vary depending on wheel choices and optional exterior equipment. Buyers should note that while fast charging is supported, the sheer size of the 116 kWh battery means home charging will require a high-output wallbox for practical overnight fill-ups. Equipment availability may vary by regional market.
