Mercedes continues with its expansion plans for its entire range of vehicles. They have presented the first details of what the mercedes eqg, an electric version of the iconic G-Class, which places no limits on luxury, performance and comfort within a vehicle. It is an object of desire for celebrities and very common among the cars used by the great fortunes of the world.
the range EQG would replace the Mercedes G-Class and the first version of the vehicle is expected to be unveiled in 2025. We first saw it in 2021 when the company unveiled a prototype of the car at the 2021 Frankfurt Motor Show.
Unlike other electric cars of the brand, it will have a series of personalized elements and technical aspects that will completely separate it from the rest of the company’s commercial offer.
To start the mercedes eqg They will use a new generation of batteries with high silicon content. They will try to achieve one of the highest densities on the market: between 20 and 40% more, surpassing the 800 Wh/L barrier. The goal is to ensure that the vehicle does not exceed three tons of weight. Otherwise, autonomy would suffer significantly. The total capacity will be 108 kWh.
In addition, to ensure that the future Mercedes EQG can be used in all terrain, both in the countryside and in the city and highway, it will equip four motors, one for each wheel. They will have new generation axial flow blocks with a power of more than 500 horsepower. All this will be achieved with a new dedicated platform of which no further details have yet been given.
There are no details of its interior, but we would not expect less than what we have already tried in the Mercedes EQS, and its spectacular Dolby Atmos that can be experienced in the cabin.
More innovations in the future Mercedes EQG
As you have commented Coachthe mercedes eqg It will not only have innovations in terms of batteries or motors. Company engineers are working on making the vehicle capable of imitating the triple differential lock that the Mercedes G-Class has. They will do so by means of specific control software for this model.
It will also have the ability to turn on itself like a tank, something that other vehicles such as Rivian They have also implemented, and one of the advantages of electric mobility, which allows the independent traction control of each wheel with much more simplicity and ease.
for now Mercedes has not announced the price of the future EQG. But considering that the base, cheaper version of a G-Class starts in the €142,069and that it can exceed €200,000 when it comes to the AMG version, we couldn’t expect less for the electric version. Especially since it will reflect the luxury that this line of cars exudes.
