    Meet the all-electric G-Class!
    Mercedes has finally unveiled the all-electric G580. The question is, does this all-electric G-Class ruin the heritage of this world-renowned off-roader?
    For starters, let’s check out the design. Thankfully, the biggest changes are under the skin, so this all-new G retains its predecessor's classic boxy shape. Up front, there’s an updated grille design, coupled with an updated lower bumper. You still get trim that runs across the side of the car, although in this electric edition it comes with a little blue stripe included! Around the back, there’s an updated rear bumper, and on the back door, what once held a spare wheel now holds the charging cables!
    Step inside and the G580 is just as stylish and well-built as those that came before it. There are soft-touch, high-quality materials throughout, and the seats are super comfortable. The 580 comes with a new steering wheel, updated infotainment and digital dial screens, along with a number of other updates in the centre console and across the dash.
    When it comes to performance, there are a number of options to run through. For those not wanting to go fully electric, there’s a 3-litre diesel and a 3-litre straight-six turbo petrol, and these deliver 367hp and 449hp respectively. Meanwhile, the AMG G63 delivers 585hp, and all cars are equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox.
    As for the G580, it comes with an incredible four electric motors, and these combine to produce 587hp and an eye-watering 1,164Nm! So there’s loads of power, but because it weighs over 3 tonnes, it still takes 4.7 seconds to hit 60mph.
    The entry-level diesel G-Class starts at £136,000, the all-electric G580 starts at around £160,000, and the most powerful AMG G63 costs around £185,000. With that in mind, should you choose the all-electric G580 over the G63?! You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

      @@billdurham8477 I have no doubt that generic EVs like Tesla depreciate. OP’s original claim was a gross and unambiguous assessment (Didn’t specify the gas or EV g wagon) of depreciation for this segment of Mercedes when the literal numbers back up my claim. Deprecation being assessed for the EV g wagon can’t be done as the cars are not on the roads yet. It is possible it could hold value well likes its gas counterpart because it has the G wagon persona with great features. But it’s also possible it could depreciate hard due to the fact it is just an EV. It simply cannot be assessed yet.

    I am kind of in a spin here, listening to ALL of the variables, modes, technology and bells and whistles. An old German father figure of mine handed down his extensive knowledge of 4x4's to me. Land Rover from the 90's onwards were not to be entrusted with traversing Africa's vast plains anymore due to electronic glitches, Toyota stood out in my friend's view, being a 100% Hilux fan until his passing. But, he mentioned the Gelande wagen with a very special reverence. Those G-wagons were those robust fuss free masterpieces from the 80's I think. Plain, box like, solid and everlasting with analogue controls, mechanical swithgear, transfer case, hi/low range, locking diffs but reliability and excellence without a competitor in sight. The concept presented here reminds me of the new mini, the new beetle, Fiat 500, Mustang etc etc. With the mini particularly for me, my comment was constant: Its not a Mini. I have the same sense here. The G-wagon was intended to be the German answer to Jeep and Land Rover. It did excellently relying on driver skill & knowledge without complication or too much assistance digitally. I also think that the G63 AMG also misses the point. its not a road racer. This is an offroad vehicle. I have a fantasy of designing a car that is absolutely basic, that takes you from A-B with great fuel efficency, reasonable comfort, that exemplifies the singularity of personal transport. Reliable, efficient, decent performance for longer distances and maybe air conditioning. No Turbos please. i want to name it "Car". Thats it. Electrical? No. Toyotas Hydrogen/Oxygen machine? Possibly. So much is really an indulgence. To each his own, I guess hey?

I recently had a i4 e35 for a loaner, which was the first time driving one, while it was a really really great car, like very impressive for a base model offering, it felt boring, it was good on acceleration and cornering was better than expected, but after 2 hours with it, I was used to it and it felt boring and a little bit soulless. I got back in my 330e and was so much happier with how much more engaging and fun it is to drive, definitely felt like it had way more character than the i4.
