Since 1979, the unmistakable silhouette of the Mercedes-Benz G Class has been taking over the local roads! Newly imagined for the future of eco-friendly festivities, the Mercedes-Benz G Class combines its iconic, conquering origins with help from Mercedes-Benz Chief Design Officer, Gorden Wagener.
With the creation of the Mercedes-Benz EQG comes the first-ever, 720-degree "G-TURN"!
To completely guarantee the iconic, eco-friendly G-Class performance, Mercedes-Benz created very unique, and VERY iconic, prototype testing parameters. Mercedes-Benz has utilized the original Mercedes-Benz G Class vehicles, in several models, to pin against the Mercedes-Benz EQG Concept vehicle. To "prove its mettle", the Mercedes-Benz EQG sped back in time to beat its predecessors, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz G 500, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz G 550 4x4 Squared, the 2015 Mercedes-Benz G 650 and the Mercedes-AMG G 63.Schöckl Approved!
Mercedes-Benz has gone an entire step further to completely ensure the EQG's eco-friendly yet feisty performance, or should we say a few steps further! As the ultimate test of endurance for each G-Class model since 1979, the Mercedes-Benz EQG now has to join its predecessors in completing the climb of Schöckl, the "Green Hell of Styria" THREE HUNDRED AND THIRTY SIX TIMES!!!! With Ola Kallenius, CEO of Mercedes-Benz, at the helm and Sarah Harman at his side, the eco-friendly concept wagon from Mercedes-Benz conquered the high-climbing Graz mountain! Outside of Graz, Austria, this range is especially special not only as a G-Class prerequisite, but is also located just outside of where the Mercedes-Benz G Class vehicles are created!"If anything, it is even more capable of going off-road!" -Ola Kallenius, The Electric G - a Real G?, youtube.com
