Mercedes-Benz G580 has finally pulled the wraps off its electrified off-road icon—the Mercedes-Benz G580, and it’s everything fans of the G-Wagon have dreamed of, with a future-forward electric twist. Combining the rugged, boxy DNA of the legendary G-Class with cutting-edge EV technology, the G580 makes a bold statement: electric doesn’t have to mean compromise.
Whether you’re an off-road enthusiast, a luxury car lover, or simply EV-curious, here’s everything you need to know about the all-new Mercedes-Benz G580, including specs, features, interior, top speed, mileage, price in India, and expected launch date.
Mercedes-Benz G580 Electrifying Performance: Specs and Powertrain
The Mercedes-Benz G580 is powered by four electric motors, one at each wheel, producing a combined output of 579 horsepower and a jaw-dropping 1,164 Nm of torque. This quad-motor setup allows the G580 to perform tank turns, rock crawls, and climb steep terrain with the kind of precision and power you’d expect from an all-electric beast.
The G580 sits on a 116 kWh battery pack, offering an estimated WLTP range of up to 470 km on a single charge. Fast-charging capabilities are included, allowing 10-80% charging in about 32 minutes using a 200 kW DC fast charger.
Built for the Wild—and the City
The G580 retains the same iconic boxy silhouette of the traditional G-Wagon but features subtle aerodynamic tweaks to improve efficiency. It also boasts 3 differential locks, an independent suspension system, and a new off-road driving mode, which adjusts torque distribution in real time for maximum traction across mud, rocks, or sand.
Despite its brute strength, the G580 offers seamless on-road comfort, thanks to its adaptive damping system and smart torque vectoring that adjusts power delivery for smooth handling—even at high speeds.
Interior: Luxury Meets Innovation
Step inside the G580, and you’re greeted with Mercedes’ signature blend of luxury and tech. The cabin is outfitted with premium Nappa leather, open-pore wood trim, and customizable ambient lighting. The dual 12.3-inch screens running MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) provide all the digital goodness you’d expect—voice control, real-time navigation, EV-specific data, and seamless smartphone integration.
Rear passengers are treated to ample legroom, climate control vents, and optional entertainment displays, making long drives a luxurious affair. Plus, the boot offers ample space for adventure gear or weekend luggage, making the G580 as practical as it is premium.
Top Speed and Acceleration
The G580 might be big and boxy, but don’t underestimate its performance. It can sprint from 0 to 100 km/h in just 4.7 seconds, an impressive feat for a vehicle of its size and weight. The top speed is electronically limited to 180 km/h, balancing power with safety.
Range and Mileage (Efficiency)
While EVs don’t technically offer “mileage” in km/litre, the G580’s range of up to 470 km on a full charge is highly competitive for a luxury electric SUV of its size. Real-world efficiency may vary depending on terrain, driving style, and load, but expect an average energy consumption of about 24–27 kWh per 100 km, which is solid for a full-sized electric SUV.
Mercedes-Benz G580 Price in India
Although official pricing for India hasn’t been announced, industry insiders estimate that the Mercedes-Benz G580 will be priced between ₹2.5 crore to ₹3 crore (ex-showroom). This puts it in the ultra-luxury EV bracket, alongside models like the Audi Q8 e-tron, BMW iX, and the upcoming Range Rover Electric.
Mercedes-Benz G580 Expected Launch Date in India
The G580 made its global debut in April 2025, and Mercedes-Benz India has confirmed plans to bring it to the Indian market. The expected launch date is late 2025, likely during the festive season. Bookings could begin as early as Q3 2025, with initial units possibly being CBU (Completely Built-Up) imports.
The Mercedes-Benz G580 is more than just an electrified G-Wagon—it’s a bold leap into the future of luxury off-roading. With monstrous torque, high-tech features, and unmistakable G-Class styling, it’s designed for those who want it all: performance, presence, and planet-consciousness.
