Love when people in charge like CEO engage with marketing and are proud about their products like that. Great video.
Thank you! We always enjoy Ola’s company on the Schöckl mountain! 😊
they have to ..
It's too bad MB has become watered down and less reliable with Ola in charge vs past CEOs.
and very nice people they are, too.
The G Turn was EPIC
Very high-quality video, thank you Mercedes. The presenter did a great job and it was also great to see how approachable and likeable Ola is as CEO. The G is of course also convincing. 😉
That's because he is Swedish and marinated in the unwritten Swedish law of nobody being better than anyone else 😂
I'll be very interested to find out the power, torque, range and charge time specs for this G-Class. So glad that Mercedes kept the G's iconic looks, and I hope it will come to the USA next year!
Let's wait and see as more information is released!
I CANT WAIT FOR US RELEASE I AM SAVING JUST FOR THIS
The G Turn was EPIC🙂
it's cool but it has a very high impact on the surface you are driving on. This is why Rivian decided to not include this feature.
@@GamingTrivia1113ita done in a gravel or area with less friction, we perform donuts there too so what the issue here
@@cineenthusiast1234 yes well imagine everyone spinning around. Soon the ground will be pretty badly damaged with the loose gravel being eroded away
Proper Top Gear production quality. This deserves way more views!
We miss 5.5 amg man
WOW!
Now that’s an amazing truck.
360° swivel turn, incredible.
I hope its available with that paint job.
And I’ve heard it uses some great new battery tech too. Lithium-Sulphur. Greater energy density, faster charging, and not prone to catastrophic thermal runaway. I wish these batteries were available in the EQE and EQS, and every other electric vehicle on the market.
It's gonna be like 400k
@@YTeradicant The AMG version with all the most expensive options added in probably still won’t even approach $400k. The base model will probably start below $150k. 🤡
@@JustAnotherSeeker just wait for it to go out of stock & you will see it being listed for 400k.
The 360 turn will do incredible damage to trails. Rivian had it earlier but they did not release it for this sake
@@David_Journeywhat damage, the same damage when we do donuts using 4wd machines so no issues here
When I was 15 I heard a sound of G for a first time. That's when I felt in love with it. G is gonna be my first vehicle and it's 99% based on its sound.
Make Electric one, but don't kill my child dreams. Don't remove V8 out of the line.
Get ready for upcoming g wagon g63 amg with 4 cylinder hybrid😂
@@srikanthr5446 OMG you’re right! 🤣🤣
How old are you now?
10 : 23 - 10:27 hit the car body twice on a stone. How long will the battery last? 😁
Purely a marketing ploy, for lovers of eco-leather and other vulgarities🙃😉
Yes the G-Turn (or rotation) looks cool. And I'm sure soon there'll be some yuppie tubers going nuts on rodeo competitions with it. But other than that, really wonder how many actual practical situations it's going to be needed anyway. Thing is the rotation movement may not be intuitive to the driver or easy to predict with precision.
What will be more useful? Or the perhaps the more useful feature with the 4-wheel x 4-motor capability, that I would like to see, is: pivot. I want the G to be able to pivot around any of the 4 wheels. Meaning that to use any one wheel as the center point, and move the other wheels so the car pivots around one stopped wheel. You'll need a selector to choose pivoting the front or the rear? Then, left or right is just by the steering wheel. So for instance, pivoting a front wheel, two wheels on the opposite side shall move on the direction of the pivot; rear wheel on the same side turns lightly in countering direction to aid the turn rate. The 3 wheels can turn in different speeds! Which is why 4 motors is so cool! This feature is more useful to achieve tight & precise turns.
Another feature I would like is an option for a small built-in generator; maybe just a 3-cylinder ~1000cc engine. Source it from Yamaha if you don't have one. Rebalancing the design obviously could be a problem; unless of course, this is already thought for. Perhaps swapping out some battery for putting in the generator option? Need a redesign to be even possible?
The thought is that nobody is going to be able to relax going camping with an EQG. In fact, going just a little far from the grid is going to make most people nervous, let alone going off grid! I'd pack a maybe 2kW portable generator & jerry cans going anywhere offroad anyway. But that's just hideous with such a pricey luxury glamping tool... Nobody is going to sleep well glamping in an EQG. Generator is necessary, if the meaning of 'G' is really something related to serious offroading! Otherwise, it's just a cool (& expensive) toy for some occasional short & quick day-trips. A small generator can charge the battery while boondocking, but certainly can also help to increase some range when the car is running. Starting the generator when the car is running or perhaps as soon as the battery level reach a certain set percentage for example. So it's definitely not an overhead nor a deadweight.
Its four individually controlled electric motors mounted close to the wheels enable it to do a full 360-turn around a vertical axis. This is, of course, extremely useful on demanding terrain where there is limited room for manoeuvre.
I cant agree with the CEO more... The G design is timeless... Never change that... Love the G
imma miss the roaring engine of this beast but hey, its still a G its very cool great job guys
Ola does a good job here - and the G looks phenomenal
Really glad to see you guys actually making an effort to keep the legend alive! Sad times for the vehicle industry as the V8 engine was a big part of the charm of a G-WAGON, but hey, it’s different times. Everyone and everything is going electric😢
No. Gas will still be available. No one said it’s being replaced. EQ is just another model.
EV says will plateau - already have. Most people are smart enough to realize they are not ‘saving the planet’ by buying electric. Massive waste of government money to promote EV sales!
The original G Wagon did exceptionally well with only 4 cylinders, so I'm not all too sad about the missing v8
@@mokseee V8 not going anywhere!
Pretty cool the new G-spot function.
Unbelievable, we (or at least I) need the in-depth footage from the last 40 seconds. Bravo Mercedes!
Still a G-Class! I absolutely love it. ♥️ The G-Class, like most other Mercedes-Benz SUVs, has got me interested in off-road driving. Once I earn enough money to buy one, I will take it off-road. Tackling harsh terrain in luxury, that's my dream. The Best or Nothing. ⭐
What a great video, best interview style commercial I've seen in a long while.
Always love the production Quality of Mercedes-benz Videos, and of course the car as well.
The legendary G turn or Tank turn . That's a feature freaking me out that's awesome 🔥
Loved thus video and the car! Great stuff!
Thought it’ll be called the “E-Wagon”
Great video! I am counting the days until the electric G is officially released... hope that will happen shortly as I a cannot wait to order mine. Such a great car with such a long history. I LOVE it!!!
Love to see the G that I saw drive around Graz making it to the big stage!
Schöckl proved!
It's the Austrian origin for me. It's almost spiritual when you watch the man-hours put into the manufakture of this amazing stallion. Little or no bots just pure human sweat and blood.
What is happened after damages of battery and after bad roads in raining time? ) 🔥🔥
One of the best videos put together- I'm out of words!
Amazing production from Mercedes.
We are glad you enjoyed it!
Love the G Turn, looking forward to this incredible vehicle. Congrats! 😍
Ola, one of your best approved projects. Pls ensure the AMG version has its own distinctive styling cues which the regular G will not be permitted to have or copied off market, EI: side exhaust on G63.
The G turn was fire!
Hi Mercedes!! I’m a proud Mercedes owner and have been a huge fan for so long, I just have a suggestion for content I know I’d love to watch and other people as well. Could you please possibly do an ASMR style car construct? It would be an awesome idea for YTshorts, watching an AMG engine build would be a great vid! And also what goes into finishing touches. Thanks and happy holidays
You can see Ola's inner child grinning ear-to-ear as he says, "This is every kid's dream."
I came here for specifications, but whatever the video was awesome, can`t wait to see more! This Gelandewagen is defiantly on my purchase list!
That is very good to know! We are looking forward to welcoming you on board!
It’s so nice that most of the comments support the electric G and accept ist as a real G. It must be because the people at Mercedes did a great job of not changing to much to make it an easy transition!
Design cues from Rivian 3:01, nice! More impressive beating Land Rover to EV offroad experience! 👏
I have been waiting for the last 4 years for this!!!
We are confident that it was worth the wait!
Thank you very much crew, it's very wonderful Magic 💪🏻🇩🇿✌🏻✅
Thank you for sharing the love! 💙 What gets you excited the most about our gorgeous Electric G-Class?
Bravo!
It's good to see this having 4 individual motors. A trend I've seen with electric offroaders is giving it only 3 motors and a real e locker in the front
That was truly wonderful!! But I sincerely request Mercedes 2 things: one to never change it's iconic look and the other is to never stop the production of the top-g: the petrol or diesel g!
One interview at mercedes at some point:
Engineers:
"So what are the engineering requirements?"
Product manager:
"it needs to spin like a fidget spinner"
This is THE combination of new technology and heritage!!
It's my dream to experience the G class❤
Can't wait for the future G 💯✨
What a great video 😁👏 G is a G and nothing can be better 👍 Great work from Mercedes-Benz 👏❤
This car and its features are amazing! Thank you Mercedes.
It's a G-orgeous car indeed! We're glad you like it. ❤️
Really Great
How many bottles of sparkling water fit in the front cupholders?
My dream car 😍🤩
But i mean gas could be found in remote locations and the g class was used for expeditions too. How is benz going to solve the charging Problem
Btw love the car
Glad it looks like a G and not like the concept version. Good move!
Wow
Always love ❤MERCEDES
Love how it still looks like a G and not a concept look or “electric” look
The EQG is just incredible. If you want to know how a small version looks like, i might have one 😉
Excellent and I love Mercedes So much
300k with drip rail rooflines! Gotta love the expensive simple to make body panels!
I am glad it’s going electric though ,just can never justify the price for the Off-road ability and durability of the old full size broncos at 1/20 the price .
Looks like a G, but another part of the G's appeal was the rumbling V8.
Umm lots of Real working Gs don't even have a V8 engine.
Great video. When is the electric G going to be in production?
Thank you for the appreciation, Tino! 😍 Stay tuned for more information soon. 😉
Got the whole department giving positive comments on the latest EV video 😅
Everything about the G wagon is top of the world giving me goosebumps but what happens if the battery is low or down in the middle of terrain
This is what you make when you're one of the best car manufacturers not sticking to the same old stuff packing it in a same body and shipping it with no innovation because you're a legacy car company
And that 4 motors control while going down hill is literally mind blowing wow
From my POV this is the best feature of Electric G
08:20 Earning the G plaque on top of the mountain track
09:38 The Electric G has features that can elevate off-road driving.
9:23 "...low friction..." "..turn on the spot.." that smurk on his face is just waiting for a .... well played , pun intended...
yeah nice but we are interested on the new BR464
New drinking game:
Take a shot every time you hear "G"
So what about air suspension and ground clearance numbers?
i just love merc, i wish i could get one
This is going to be ALL over the streets of LA as soon as they start delivering. 9/10 will never be taken off road but I guess Who cares? FREAKIN' epic with an Electric G!!!
Just like the ICE-G. They never leave the pavement but who really cares? It is such a cool car.
One of the best videos they have uploaded, well it has four electric motors but how many horsepower does it have and what is the difference in weight due to the batteries in relation to the gasoline G.
We are glad that you liked it! More technical details are not available yet. Stay tuned for more!
Beautiful car
And soon there will be a time with the slogan: *_"you will own nothing, and you will be happy..."_*
Love how they didn't baby it on the rocks. Hurled the G over them instead of a timid crawl.
I can’t wait to buy one!!!!!!
We are looking forward to having you on board!
Can it also do a 180 degree turn or only 360 ?
Very happy to see the New G class be this Capable. Greate Job!
Thank you very much!
Nice!
Nice ❤
So incredibly happy to see a beast like this become ELECTRIC! MB is doing it right!
What a dream car... Well done!
We're thrilled to hear that you consider this as a dream car! ❤️
Nice RC 👍
Cool!
Ooo now this is cool
It's a G-reat star. 😜
I can't wait to get one. I'm already on the wait list at my local Benz dealership.
That’s awesome news! Keep us posted on the arrival of your Electric G!
Dream car ❤
Love it, the perfect ev 😊
What amazes me is the engineering sans the looks, WHAT A CAR! ❤🎉
We're thrilled you love the electric G-Class. ⚡️ Any particular feature that caught your eye? Let us know!
Great work Mercedes and whats 0-60 mph ?
Thank you so much! 🙌 Please stay tuned for more details about this exciting model. Have a G-reat day!
Wow! Fantastic vehicle - will it replace the v8 or coexist with the current G?
I love this G
I still like the GLK look and design, and of course the whole world is crazy about the G class or the up coming EQG, if Mercedes can reproduce the EV version of the GLK or rescale the EQG into 3 or 4 different sizes like S, M, L and XL to fit different buyers needs. Also create a complete G class brand and lineup.
Thank you for your feedback and suggestions, Eric! Our goal is to create electric vehicles for every different need and taste.
amazing
Thank you! What do you like most about the Electric G, after watching this video?
Interested in this or electric defender. Whichever comes first.
Absolutely gorgeous! but 500 KG heavier than standard G-Wagon and No 7 seats option seems disappointing. A lot of people are looking for practical options with style.
I adore G-Class❤ this quarter like a car❤🎉
cannot wait to add this to the fleet
The future is exciting. ⚡ 😍
@@MercedesBenzNo it's not
Gotta see it catching some air!
Would love to do a timed run through the rubicon if you can fit 35” tires on it.
I like that it makes 360 turns like a tank
1:14 …. Well said
The g wagon already weighed more than a planet 😄
Okay, you’re just plucking at my heartstrings now with this teaser!
Definitely has that wow factor about it.🏆#awardwinner
Glad to hear it. ❤️ The future looks G-reat, doesn't it? ⚡
