Mercedes-Benz EQG Concept Previews All-Electric G-Class Model
The Mercedes-Benz EQG Concept provides an exciting preview of the all-electric version of the legendary G-Class model series. It is a near-production ready study of an all-electric model variant of the utilitarian off-road icon. Visually, the concept car combines the unmistakably striking look of the G-Class with selected design elements typical of all-electric models from Mercedes as contrasting highlights. The Concept EQG thus offers a promising preview of what a Mercedes-Benz G-Class with battery-electric drive will be capable of.
EQ Design
The Mercedes-Benz EQG Concept very much carries the traditional design characteristics of the G-Class. The near-production study adopts the G-Class’ angular silhouette including its iconic elements. Illuminated stripes make the robust exterior protective strips stand out visually.
The front view of the Concept EQG looks familiar with its deep black radiator grille. In this Black Panel Grille, the illuminated star with 3D effect sets a striking accent. An all-round illuminated band wraps the Black Panel, which, alongside the white illuminated circles in the exterior mirror housings, complements the daytime running light graphic of the headlights.
Exterior
The Concept Mercedes-Benz EQG rides on 22-inch polished aluminum alloy wheels in an exclusive design. Instead of the usual spare wheel cover, there is a lockable box with white illuminated accents on the rear door. Its design is reminiscent of a wallbox and could be used to store the charging cable within easy reach. Another highlight of the exterior design is the flat roof rack in high-gloss black. Lastly, the white LED strip integrated into the front edge of the roof rack is a modern interpretation of the searchlight indispensable for demanding off-road adventures.
Off-Roader
The Concept Mercedes-Benz EQG is clearly a “G” not only in terms of design, but also as an uncompromising off-roader. The chassis design remains extremely off-road capable, as is typical of the G-Class. It features independent suspension on the front axle and a rigid axle at the rear, newly developed for the integration of the electric drive. With four electric motors close to the wheels and individually controllable, the vehicle will offer unique driving characteristics both on- and off-road.
