Mercedes opens a new chapter in the world of off road vehicles with the arrival of the all electric G-Class G 580 with EQ Technology in the UAE. The model combines the timeless legacy of the G-Wagon with cutting edge innovation in a truly luxurious form. It retains its iconic boxy silhouette and rugged ladder frame while stepping into a new era of silent performance and instant torque, proving that true luxury doesn’t need engine noise to make its presence felt.

Unconventional Electric Power


Mercedes delivers a unique blend of power and innovation in the new G 580, thanks to its advanced quad motor electric setup that makes it one of the most capable off road SUVs in its class.

  • Four independent electric motors positioned near each wheel

  • Combined output of around 579 hp

  • Massive 859 lb-ft of torque

  • A 116 kWh lithium ion battery integrated into the frame

  • Acceleration from 0 to 100 km/h in 4.6 to 4.7 seconds

  • Electronically limited top speed of 180 km/h


To elevate its off road mastery, Mercedes has equipped the electric G-Class with several innovative systems:

  • G Turn function allows the SUV to rotate on its axis for easy maneuvering in tight spaces

  • G Steering system reduces the turning radius intelligently on rocky or sandy trails

  • Advanced torque vectoring with virtual differential locking

  • Water fording depth of up to 0.85 meters, achieved through advanced sealing and full component protection

With these capabilities, Mercedes proves that going electric doesn’t mean compromising performance but rather enhancing it with unmatched precision and control.

Driving Range and Smart Charging


The G 580 strikes a perfect balance between high performance and everyday practicality thanks to its fast charging capability and intelligent trip planning system.

  • Fast charging capacity of 200 kW DC.

  • Charges from 10 to 80 percent in around 32 minutes.

  • Adds approximately 170 km of range with just 15 minutes of charging.

  • Official WLTP range between 434 and 473 km.

  • EPA rated range of 239 miles, with Edmunds testing showing a real world result of 266 miles.


These numbers allow drivers in the UAE to enjoy long weekend getaways with ease, supported by a smart navigation system that automatically locates charging stations and plans routes to ensure a seamless driving experience without range anxiety.

Mercedes Luxury with a Futuristic Soul


Inside, the G 580 combines Mercedes’ signature elegance with a modern digital identity that enhances the sense of control and sophistication.

  • Dual 12.3 inch displays for both the instrument cluster and infotainment system.

  • Off Road Cockpit displaying vital data during off road driving.

  • Transparent Hood feature showing the terrain beneath the vehicle through the 360 degree camera system.

  • G Roar audio experience recreating the iconic G-Class sound for an added emotional touch.


In the UAE, the G 580 is available through Gargash Mercedes Benz in Dubai with the special Edition One launch variant. Pricing starts at approximately 825,900 AED, with extensive customization options for features, colors, and interior finishes to suit every taste.

Unmatched Capabilities for the UAE Terrain


The G 580 embodies Mercedes Benz’s vision for the future of luxury driving in the GCC, where silent performance meets uncompromising strength.

  • Instant torque ensures powerful acceleration on highways.

  • Near total cabin silence even at high speeds.

  • Outstanding performance on sand and rocky surfaces thanks to advanced off road systems.

  • Climbing ability of up to 100 percent incline.


While its range may be slightly lower than some aerodynamic electric crossovers, the legendary G-Class spirit combined with modern electric innovation, makes it the ultimate choice for adventure and luxury enthusiasts seeking a truly distinctive driving experience across the UAE.
