Video Summary
Here is the summary:- The Electric G-Wagon's exterior is almost identical to the previous G-Wagon model.
- The electric version has a bespoke grille and a redesigned lower bumper.
- Alloy wheels are available from 18 inches in Europe and 20 inches in the UK.
- New addition is a blue accent strip of trim down the side of the car with an EQ badge.
- It was almost called the EQG.
- The rear bumper is redesigned, and the electric version has a storage box for cables (a spare tire is also available).
- For aerodynamic upgrades, wind flaps appear on the front wheels and the plastic trim above the door is now thinner.
- There's a small hump on the roof that acts as a wind deflector.
- The previous generation had a drag coefficient of .55cd, whereas the new car's drag coefficient is .49cd and .45cd for the electric version.
- The interior has a new steering wheel and the latest entertainment system, along with EQ modes and a charging range that cannot be used while driving.
- You can get unintentionally sweaty in the backseats.
- The car is now available with seat heating and cooling.
- Powertrain options include a 3-liter Diesel at 367 horsepower and a 3-liter straight-six Turbo Petrol at 449 horsepower.
- The AMG G63 delivers 585 horsepower with 850 NM of Torque.
- The electric G-Wagon delivers 587 horsepower and 1,164 NM Torque.
- 0-62mph is claimed to be 4.7 seconds.
- The electric motor gives serious performance and instant response.
- The electric version comes with a range of 285 miles.
- Prices start with a "normal" diesel at 136,690 pounds, around 160,000 pounds for the electric version, and 180,860 pounds for the very first edition. The range-topping AMG G63 is 184,595 pounds.
- The car's doors shut more easily due to vents in the cabin to balance pressure when doors shut.
- A rear-facing camera, located lower than the previous model, is easier to clean and equipped with a spray cleaner.
- Electric models have a "G-Roar sound experience," including some engine-noise synthesis.
- Off-road crawl modes provide better traction thanks to precise torque vectoring.
- A skid plate protects the battery pack.
- The weight of the car is 3.1 tons (500kg more than the previous model); its payload is reduced. A special license is needed to operate it when over 3.5 tons.
- The turning is wayward. Also the steering wheel can only be grabbed at the top or bottom.
- It is difficult to off-road without a clear line or an instructor and can cause some carsickness.
- The overall quality of the interior is great but the heated seats are poorly placed.
- The underfloor, two-tier battery packs use space between the ladder chassis.
- There are four electric motors, torque vectoring and all locking differentials are engaged all the time, as well as rear independent suspension.
- The electric version cannot have a tow bar.
- It's better to engage the brake with a lighter car than on the AMG, so there is less weight to be felt.
- Driving an electric G-Wagon is odd, since it can deliver so much immediate torque with no noise.
- Electric has better off-road performance if it's only being used short distances.
- For overlanding and long distance off-roading, the petroleum version is more advisable, since Jerry Cans aren't electric.
- The torque is calculated for the wheels.
- There is a G-Turn ability for the car to spin.
- While the off-roading features work well overall, one should be careful while doing it due to the car's high price.
- Overall it was determined it to be an "electric G" and was found to be better overall but different in driving than what came previously.
- An additional problem would be how much is in the car; it has serious power but with weight.
