Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video about the 2025 Mercedes G-Wagon (G580 with EQ Technology):- The G580 uses four separate electric motors, one driving each wheel, with its own transmission.
- Each motor makes 146 horsepower, totaling 587 horsepower and 1164 newton meters of torque.
- The chassis utilizes the old school ladder frame, which served as the G-Wagon backbone.
- This G has been injected with electric parts, not vice versa.
- Oddly appealing G-Roar.
- G-Steer allows tight corner turns.
- G-Turn spins the car around on the spot.
- The 0-62 mph time is 4.7 seconds, just shy of the V8 powered G63.
- The range is a claimed 285 miles.
- Charging is done at 200 kilowatts, enough for 160 miles in 15 minutes, but some may prefer a faster charge speed.
- The styling includes the standard multi-slat grill, although a flush option is not available in the UK, the presenter prefers the current one.
- Newly designed A-pillar aero cladding, a lip across the top, reduces noise.
- Aero wheels are used, which the presenter approves of.
- This car is equipped with keyless entry, a new infotainment system, and a Burmester audio setup.

- There are no physical diff locks.
- The battery is armor-plated, with the plating made of 26 ml thick carbon.
- One cannot safely carry five people, due to the weight of the vehicle.
- As a 4x4, it is better off-road than the petrol G-Wagon.
- It may be cheaper to run the electrical version for some.
- It is a better daily driver car than its previous models.
- Automatic brake assist.
- High-speed auto-adjusts seats and tightens seatbelts.
- It will play a sound through the speakers to shock your eardrum.
- Is the G-Class the right choice for electrification?
The video concludes that the G580 with EQ Technology is overall a cool car with interesting technology, but it has limitations regarding weight restrictions and passenger/towing, thus making a non-EV version a better purchase.
