Welcome back to RBR guys and this is the one car I’ve been dying to drive because it has the potential of being not only the first genuinely desirable EV in my opinion, but also potentially the best daily use #gclass in it’s history. This is the G Wagon G580 with EQ Technology, the first EV G from #MercedesBenz.
This Full EV comes with a 116 KW battery, and 4 individual electric motors,146 HP and almost 300 per each wheel! So a 588 BHP beast with 1164NM and a 0-60 to match the G63?! Insane. We also have the unique modes in the EV othat we will experience today : G Turn mode, the famous tank turn! G Steering, extreme turning radius for off roading which allows you to drift -- And OFF ROAD CRAWL - almost cruise control for off roading. All unique to the EV G Wagon.
OH and it has its own signature sound called the G ROAR, that I’ve been dying to try.
G has had a long history, but over that history and despite the shapes it came in, the purposes it served, or the people it elevated: it’s remained unchanged, #strongerthantime Mercedes say. And it’s hard to argue, no other modern car survives like G does.
But even the strongest modern car has stumbled in front of the looming doom of the electric car. Can the #Mercedes G can weather the worst storm? Enough exposition, let’s experience this car straight away! :)

This has action movie written all over it. You can imagine having a bunch of villains pointing machine guns out the side while the driver does a G turn.
Much cooler than the cybertruck at least
2X+ the price.
@@loum.4377 2x+ the cool factor too, in my opinion. I wouldn't buy either of them but I like this better.
Both vehicles are only going to be used by hipsters and suburban stay-at-home wives driving them to whole foods and back 99.9% of the time anyway
First of all, that color is 👌 and that G Roar is beauuuuutiful. The first electric sound that finally sounds really good, impressed
I actually prefer the way this looks to the gas powered one, loving the light up grill
Why. Why do cars need to have that much light. Light up grill, the whole back lit with the rear light bar. Its just ridiculous
@@MayorOfPluto I like the way it looks to each their own
I agree with you. Far better looking and less gaudy than the G63. I’d probably go for the normal grill though. Even more understated.
Super dope. I want one
Bloody impressive
How is the g roar created? Is this guy getting excited about the synthesised engine noise?
I as a neighbor would be very excited to not hear the combustion roar every morning, that's why I heavily support all EV owners in our street and own one myself.
The roar on the interiour is a good way to still have fun while driving.
Why does it matter so much if the sound is synthesised or not? I am a car enthusiast myself and owned a C Class Coupe AMG, I loved the sound so much. But I learned that it is not all about sound and that you should respect other people that want to rest, especially in city environments. I for myself decided to put respect towards other people over my "need" of having a fun sounding car.
I'm not talking about you (because I don't know you) but I wish that people would understand that every "fun" acceleration in city streets makes one driver happy for a few seconds but annoys hundreds of people who have to live with this noise all day and can not properly rest from work.
@@casaxtreme2952 I love everything about your comment. I agree and you have my full respect
@@casaxtreme2952 So true
Great video as always. I can’t wait to see these on the road!
Great review!
Fantastic video as always Raz.
Probably the only EV I'm interested in future :)
The black spec mate 👌🏽🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥👏🏾 I’m feeling it
Great video as always👍👍awesome content. G wagon electric my first love for EV . You are awesome car reviewer. Watching you from San Francisco USA 🇺🇸
love your reviews. the new g looks like a solid ev! nice
This was a fun one. Thanks Rqz!
Fantastic! ⚡💯 Great review! 🙏
Very nice review :)
Best review by far Raz, thanks- but what about towing?
In 10 years when your electric G wagon still costs $50k over sticker, it might actually make sense replacing the battery. This might be the first car where it makes financial sense to replace the battery,
when it reaches 1000km range i might consider it
This vehicle is insane!
can’t wait to watch a serious, comprehensive off-road test.
Anyway, the front grille is so cheap, please improve it as soon as possible. What was the concept model presented for?
I would buy the G580, but not for its fake sound. It's an EV, so it doesn't need the artificial noise, which is annoying. The quietness is a benefit, allowing me to better appreciate the driving terrain.
Real cool Raz. I do like some of the new aero. Curious to see how you compare this to the new Petrol G-Wagon
Can’t wait to see the technology applied to the Sprinter family...
Damn! I didn't know it looked incredible in black
I actually like it..
Nice black ingenuer
Wondering,,, I drove a '21 g63 and afterwards,, didn't want it. Felt too heavy, nose dive, body roll. Wondering if this one is any better?
Well, because the battery is all the way down in the ladder chassis, it should have a much lower center of gravity. If they have put enough thought into the suspension, that might (just might) mean that body roll and nose dive could be less. It's going to be heavier though, of course, but if they manage the weight well, which some manufacturers have learned to do quite well, it could be that you're not going to notice it that much and in some areas like roll and dive it could mean an improvement. In other words: no idea, just some possible positive hypotheses
@@BinaryBlueBull all good and similar thoughts to mine,, and, I understand that battery tech and Mercedes involvement with leading Chinese battery manufact. will introduce next gen battery with double the power density, Thus I can imagine offering same range but half the weight, or same weight and double the range. There may not be deterrent body roll, but theres still three tons around every corner and ever braking ( although regen. might actually save that part of the flaw ). I also suspect a higher power amg version coming soon, which most likely will have the hydraulic sus. system included. I want that one.
It’s really cool and has decent offroad capabilities. For mountain and off grid use EVs aren’t that useful though (I have tried with a Taycan CT 4S - there are no chargers in the mountains!). So good luck going far away from the main roads, or staying «outback» for days on end. When is that ever going to be possible with an EV?
I also wonder about what happens when the batteries expire; the EV depreciation rate reflects that.
Then there is the sound; I love the sound and sensation of the supercharged V8 G-Wagon. Indeed, I just took it for a spin with the windows open.
There are no gas stations in the mountains either dweeb.
Do you also wonder what happens when the powertrain on an ICE car expires? Usually they only have a warranty of 2 - 5 years. Warranty on batteries are usually 6 - 8 years so automakers actually seem to be sure that the battery is even more durable than a traditional powertrain.
The battery will also degrade in these 8 years but not as fast as many people think (many think they will be dead in two years like a phone but a phone is charged 5 - 10 times more often than cars in the same time).
Of course a battery swap is (currently) really expensive if it actually breaks, but prices will drop significantly in the future so it will propably be comparable to a typical engine or transmission swap.
@casaxtreme2952 what about 15k for an electric motor and your car has 2 to 4 of them?
@@casaxtreme2952, the biggest dealbreaker for me is not being able to charge in remote areas. On the G-Wagon you have a 100 litre petrol tank and can fit a spare tank on the side. There’s no fitting a spare battery if it was electric. And you can refill petrol anywhere.
It’s about USD 5K for a complete rebuild of a V8 engine. I doubt you can repair an electric engine (indeed, I had a USD 18K engine replacement on a MB B electric). The scary thing when an EV engine fails is that the car might just stop suddenly and completely lock the wheels - it might be rare but I’ve experienced it and it is extremely dangerous.
@@andreasnarum An internal combustion engine can lock up as well and then lock up your wheels. Also, there is a multitude of safety functionality that triggers adequate reactions in case of a malfunction in the blink of an eye.
No way that the electric g class would be better a v8
I don’t believe how Mercedes turned this iconic car to electric ⚡️
Wonder if the sound cant turned off
Thank You Almighty God I will buy one for myself
Probably wont sell as most expensive EVs like the EQS, Taycan, Model S, Lucid anyway. As long as they keep the V8 Biturbo its all good
Ticks all the G boxes 😂
The headroom really that good in the G Wagon. Curious, how tall are you?
The G class is a box on wheels, headroom is great (1.82m here)
@@hummerltheOh Rear legroom looks tight. I’m 6’2”
@@WFO. The comfort in the rear seat of the G class definitely is not as good as in other cars, but it is perfectly doable :)
The best seat in the house is the driver seat though :D
The new L Class
And you're the Clinical Professor.
Of course we know the real world pricing will be a 50-100k markup
🖤
Only issue is you can’t have a tow bar so forget about putting a bike rack or pulling anything and with a dismal boot I can’t see it being practical for £185k
Raz Before Race
so, they added "sound" to an EV????
why does the interior look like a ford bronco tho
The problem is that such 3-tonne vehicles simply don't belong in our city centres - regardless of whether they are powered by electric or internal combustion engines.
진짜 개지린다 전기g바겐ㅎㄷㄷ
Keep it and bring back G65
G65 is dead the v12 dead
G63 was the best
if removing the 'roar' technology were to make possible the creation of a frunk, I’d get rid of it.
Shame RAZ doesnt reply to comments anymore.
That G Engineer is HOT😍
Weight certainly matters less here; they were never light and definitely not a sports car.
Nothing that I hate more than the fake sound pumped through the car speakers.
Good thing you can turn it off, then!
Stop the fake EV hate if you haven't owned an EV to even hate it yet. LOL..
Its pointless no infrastructure 😂😂 here in south africa and too expensive and loadshedding. hybrids are better
@@hipetwain africa maybe. Europe, the USA and China don’t have this issue
@@MaticTheProto you say USA drive to Texas electric cars are flop😂😂
@@hipetwa nope
@@MaticTheProto 😂😂 they are even slow to charge nan scotty say ev are junk
This Gwagon needs a masculine steering wheel.
With these artificial engine sounds, can you actually feel the rumble behind the wheel and under your feet?
With the G63, can you go as off-road as with this?
Everyone with money in his pocket will buy the g63 with the petrol engine instead of the ev version.
116kw for 220miles & 0 efficiency. Looks like Mercedes would make even a brick electric. But what a historic moment in the automotive industry !
Imagine thinking this isn't cool because you're scared of the future.
Better with just the natural sound of the electric motors. Getting excited about electronic fake sounds is like getting excited about a synthetic inflatable honeymoon doll.
You might be surprised this kind of range may look ridiculous in the years to come from now 1000 miles might be a decent amount compared to now 🤷🏽♂️
G wagon Little changes, the same lots of minuses Interior and exterior
Already put down my £5K deposit
An electric vehicle that's sounds like a ICE vehicle... truly astonishing... not!
LGPD Wagen
Nope no way have my 2025 G63 on order will not get an Electric had 2019, 2021 and a 2023 G63
Great review. Hey Mercedes. Stop the fake sound now. What are you? A fourth grader? You don't get an EV.
Goddamn magsafe never buying it
Motor toy
Ah another ev pretending to be an ice 😕
Only way to make them cool
So you like the fake sound.
😂😂. Dont know why hes so excited. Just the fake sound alone will put me off. Why make electric cars with noise!?
Maybe he has some interest in saying that the fake sound is so beautiful...
@@erissitoneyeah it's possible he might feel that way but he has to complement Mercedes as much as possible and not be too hard on them all the new cars and he wouldn't get all the corporate benefits and support for his channel so he cannot be too hard on them benefits for his channel
Can’t you just add this sound to anything? Not like the car makes that sound. I find it odd to act like wow this is great sounding car. It’s like anything with speakers can sound like that. 🤔
Me too. It’s very weird to love something that isn’t real.
@@snarkyboojumWell media wants us to like stuff we dont like all the time, not just in cars.
This was hard to watch
No thanks
What kind of world are we living in? 🙄
The woke world of sheeps
I admire your passion but we say NO to scam EV. EV are disposable junk even dealers don’t want to buy back and you would be. EV G class actually lost the point of having G class at all. It’s going to join C 63 AMG as flop of the century. Mercedes didn’t say that directly but they regret spending money on any EV development.
Yangwang U8: 1200 HP Chinese Super SUV. absolutely. shits on this crap new G wagon =))
I would really like to see a durability test of this Yangwang thing in really rough offroad terrain. Don't forget to bring a tow truck and a fire truck, though ;)
It's better to get g63 amg then this
Yeah bro 😂
Bro became excited when hear the fake roar after hearing all the v8s, w8s, v10s, v12s, w12s, w16. One another pathetic move from Mercedes in my opinion. 📛
I'm poor so i hope they do shit their pants on value. at 60-80k i can make unreasonable financial decision.
At least you can always fall back to the Taycan lol
G Roar naming is cringy. It is just fake sound.
Every speaker is fake sound, do you listen to music on the radio tho or are you carrying an orchestra with you?
To be fair the G63 sound is also super fake from the speakers
@@timonxDlol a true shame and not needed!
@@timonxDlol that is even worse! The V8 sounds perfect without the speakersound, it does not need it
You are dying to drive this shit
A bigger mistake than the 4 cylinder C63 😂 how do klever krauts get it so wrong
klever krauts know that the chinese market share of EVs is 30% and increasing. Same with EU market share about 20%.
Without offering EVs Mercedes would have lost 10% of their revenue.
1:08 that’s just so g a y. Sorry to say but these will sell in dubai worse than dessert sand
Not a fan of this thing, glad the V8 is still available!
Fake sounds you like lol.
Finally a car for those gay russian mafia
I think it is so sad that so many are totally against EV driving…the World has decided that is the future so it is coming and manufacturers have to make cars that appear and feel much the same as the ICE cars of the past 120+ years. It is no better for the World than anything else..all movement takes energy and needs a source of power to make it happen but it always takes exactly the same environmental impact to achieve. Now this car…it is never going to save the the World but it is an excellent EV on its own way. The fake noise is better than the silly wooshes that EV cars had and if it is fake, does it matter? If you have to drive a car that sounds loud and angry to attract women then it is now time to grow up….stop being a jungle stick insect trying to attract a mate. As for the driving…the stupid spinning mode is an engineer being an idiot…and the tyre manufacturers will love you..bald in 500 miles.
Otherwise…it is a car to appeal to those who are only driving it for the looks and status…it is not necessary, not intended to be used in any commercial role, it is a fashion accessory but it is still a very attractive car. Now though…you can still wear a gallon of aftershave, spray on the fake tan, grow a face stubble beard and wear a gaudy shirt. I’m not that market but respect the engineering work that has gone into it…running costs?…huge over its lifetime..an expensive decision!🙂🙂🙂
Sorry you have some points, but how are the running costs huge over the lifetime though? Can't be anywhere close to an ice G?
@@timeslowingdownIt is the depreciation costs as the battery ages…you will have seen the catastrophic losses on the Porsche Taycan which is one of the best EV’s on sale…one owner I know paid £121,000 in 2021 for a very nice version and enjoyed 34,000 miles so went to buy another…one dealer just would not take the car from him, one offered £30,000 at first but then finally reduced it to £24000….and he still owes £60,000 on it! The G wagen will be little different in EV form….the first G Klasse to bite you in the wallet and not just at a petrol station! 😬😬
I like the old face better, For all my AMG G CLASS lovers I made a song called G CLASS it's a recent upload on my channel love from nyc
Garbage
Absolutely pointless waste of money. What you save on fuel/charging is swamped by the upfront costs and astronomical EV depreciation. And what sort of resale value is there in 3-5 years time?
What a load of nonsense. Installing extra noise in a vehicle with electric drive is asocial behavior in my eyes. Apart from that, I think Mercedes has done a hell of a lot right with this G-Class.
You mean Gay wagon
Don't read my name!
I am still not buying EV crap lol
Electrocar no make sense
No thanks
i refuse to watch this crap , if it had a million horsepower it would still be shite !

Nope, nope, and nope. Have 3 AMGs...none of them with this electric nonsense. And I won't be buying any of them that do have it.
Why is it nonsense? Have you tried driving it or any other modern electric car?
I prefer the electric G over the normal one.
I also don't say the petrol G is nonsense.
Cry more you sad little man
@@casaxtreme2952he needs to cope because the electric one is the better off roader
You are too poor anyways to afford one lol
True. No sidepipes, no G Class
Artificial Sound......I'll pass!!! 👎
No one is gonna buy that electric piece of crap
All of the G-class customers are going of the AMG G63
They've should have done a Maybach G680 version instead with the V12
