Electric G-Wagon Expected To Be Available In Early 2024

The electric G-Wagon, officially known as the Mercedes EQG, is anticipated to be available for purchase in 2024 and will offer a choice between triple-motor and quad-motor powertrain options, with the latter being the confirmed standard.

The EQG is expected to feature a battery pack with around 100 kWh capacity, providing a potential range of over 400 miles, and will support rapid charging capabilities​​​​.

Meet the Mercedes Concept EQG and as you can guess it is an an EV G wagon but unfortunately they did it in the fashion of just taking the existing G wagon and shoving a battery pack into the frame. The issue with that method is the heavily reduced range on top of the G Wagon being a rolling brick. This concept features loads of exterior illumination from the side to the roof, grill and rear end.

Big trucks and high-end SUVs aren’t going away; they’re simply becoming electric. Mercedes revealed that an electric G-Class was in the works even before AMG disclosed its hybrid and EV plans. The Mercedes-Benz Concept EQG is the first tangible hint of the G Wagon EV to come.

The Mercedes-Benz Concept EQG is missing one thing, or rather three things: the G Wagon’s signature three locking differentials. The EQG, on the other hand, features four electric motors, one for each wheel. According to Roadshow, locking differentials is unnecessary because each motor provides instant torque and torque vectoring capability. The SUV does, however, have a transfer case in the form of a shiftable two-speed gearbox. It’s unclear whether there’s a single gearbox or one for each wheel, but MotorTrend assumes the latter.
