Square box, only G-Class｜Mercedes-Benz G580

To be precise, the world's first "pure electric Big G" car owner is Arnold Schwarzenegger. The former governor of California, who has countless Hummers on his hands, can support a gas station by himself, but is actively involved in environmental protection. As early as 2017, he was pleased to mention the pure oil-to-electricity battery powered by the Austrian new energy company KREISEL. TV G. This unofficial electric vehicle is equipped with a 150kWh battery pack weighing half a ton, with a comprehensive system power of up to 490Ps, and can accelerate from 0 to 100 mph in 5.5 seconds. Measured by the global electrification technology in 2017, this set of data and performance can be described as Far ahead. The good news is: the performance is not reduced, and there is no need to refuel; the bad news is: the battery life is only 300km, and that’s before discounts; I guess Schwarzenegger will start thinking about where to charge before he even drives out of Los Angeles, so don’t worry about the governor’s range. Don't want it.So at the global launch of the new G-Class in 2018, Schwarzenegger sincerely asked Dr. Zetsche, the then global president of Mercedes-Benz: "When can I drive an authentic Mercedes-Benz pure electric big G?" After waiting for 6 years, the 77-year-old Schwarzenegger finally drove a Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology in 2024. In addition to no longer having to worry about mileage, the ability demonstrated by the authentic Mercedes-Benz pure electric big G made the governor give up the idea of ​​​​importing U8 from China.

Emotional G value, far exceeding 2.17 million

The pure electric G-class off-road vehicle is officially launched. The authentic Mercedes-Benz pure electric big G, referred to as G 580. It does not follow the name of the concept car EQG, nor is it called the electric G-Class. It follows the naming sequence of the current G-Class. There is no special distinction between the electric G and the gasoline G. The main theme is "the electric G, the gasoline G, and both are serious big Gs." .In fact, it is easy to understand. Whether it is the G 580 EDITION ONE (first special edition) officially launched last Friday, or the EQG concept car that was unveiled globally last year, the design basically maintains "the same shape and interior" as the current G 500. ——Especially the classic round light + square box shape + mechanical door handle lock that has remained unchanged for 45 years. The difference is that "the grille can be equipped with a new grille with LED halo" and "the spare tire bag has been updated to become a small charging station." box", "it can fly by you silently" and is more "environmentally friendly" than the new G63. The official pre-sale price: 2.17 million. The square box, V8 large displacement, and three locks, the "old three" that have been tied to the Big G for so many years, have evolved into the "new off-road three-piece set" in the era of electrification. One of the most successful aspects of the G580 is that it has not been kept in a place with civilization and electricity because of its electric status. On the contrary, its off-road attributes and capabilities have been greatly improved. Although the new G 580 did not repeat the explosive opening of its debut in China in April on the night of the press conference - descending from a steep slope of 45°, then hovering on the slope, and then came the cool operation - 45° reversing Uphill! There was no skidding or rollover during the whole process. You must know that the electric big G can hover head-down on a 45° slope without any movement, which is a very hard-core performance in itself. The key point is that it can also hover on a 45° slope. Reversing the car back to the top of the mountain on the original road truly demonstrated the "superior G performance" of the G 580. The absolute confidence in traction control is enough to make all hardcore electric off-road players on the market look up to them. When you think that the G580's "go against the sky" is a miracle caused by strength, it is all power without any skills.In fact, as the "inventor of the automobile", Mercedes-Benz has been able to continue to play a "demonstration role" for a hundred years, and it has always been "winning with technology" - 4 independent wheel motors, each independent motor Both are equipped with an electric two-speed gearbox, which increases the driving torque through a 2:1 gear ratio and maintains the power output in the low-speed and high-torque operating range, allowing the G 580 to advance and retreat freely on 45° steep slopes. Switching to the 4.0T V8 + three-lock G63, I am afraid that it can only perform the "steep slope descent" as an appetizer at the scene. This is also the electrification that brings the G 580 an "off-road" that is different from traditional fuel-powered hardcore models such as the G63 and G500. Brand new solution". In addition to the "off-road crawl" intelligent off-road crawling ability that allows you to move forward and backward freely on slopes, the G 580 also has the "G-TURN" function, which is faster and smoother than the U8. The motor controls the wheels on both sides to rotate in opposite directions, easily completing a 720° U-turn on the spot at high speeds on flat land, helping the driver to easily return home before the extreme dead end. The "G-STEERING" steering function can lock the inner rear wheel through the wheel motor, significantly reducing the turning radius of the new pure electric G-class off-road vehicle. This function is rougher, more straightforward, and has a smaller turning radius than rear wheel steering. More waste tires allow the G 580 to pass through extreme hairpin turns with ease. 4 independent wheel motors, combined with the intelligent torque vectoring function, demonstrate G-TURN, G-STEERING and off-road crawling capabilities that cannot be achieved even with six traditional mechanical locks. These three incredible capabilities The functions together form the "new three-piece off-road package" officially announced by Mercedes-Benz. In addition, with an approach angle of 32°, a breakover angle of 20.3°, a departure angle of 30.7°, and a maximum wading depth of 850mm, the off-road static capabilities have actually improved after full electrification, and the battery pack under the car has also improved. Specifically optimized for off-road and wading use, a carbon fiber battery bottom plate is used. Saying goodbye to the proud 4.0T V8, the new four independent wheel motors give the G 580 as powerful a value as the G 63 - - Maximum comprehensive power of 432kW; - Peak torque of 1164N·m; - Hundreds Acceleration of 1 km/h is 4.7 seconds; - top speed is 180km/h. With such fierce performance, there is no need to worry that the G 580 will become a new era of "electric power consumption" in terms of power consumption. Multiple aerodynamic designs on the side of the car reduce the drag coefficient of the G 580 to 0.44cd. With the 116kWh battery pack, It can achieve 570km CLTC cruising range. 200kW DC fast charging can charge the battery from 10% to 80% in 32 minutes. There is no need to worry about the quality of the G 580. Like every generation of G-Class, it has undergone 336 climbing tests on Austria’s Shekel Mountain (elevation 1,445 meters, slope up to 60%, side slope up to 40%), and can go back and forth on a single charge. Climbing the summit of Shekel 14 times is equivalent to climbing Mount Everest once. Not only that, the prototype test vehicle also crossed the dangerous Perpignan Plain and challenged the extreme cold in Sweden, proving the pure pedigree of the G-Class family with reliable performance. Of course, internally, there is no difference between G580 and G500 or G63. The new generation of MBUX intelligent human-computer interaction system and the new digital off-road cockpit function are still there. Wrapped in a rough square box, it is still the pride of Mercedes-Benz. Comfort, luxury and technology.

Of course, the new Mercedes-Benz G 500 and the new Mercedes-AMG G 63 are also officially launched. Official suggested retail price of G500: 1.688 million AMG G63 official suggested retail price: 2.5955 million The new G 500 is equipped with an efficient 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder engine, which uses the dual supercharging of exhaust gas turbocharger and electric auxiliary supercharger to bring With a strong power of 330 kilowatts and 560 Nm, it can accelerate from 0 to 100km/h in 5.4 seconds, which is 0.5 seconds faster than the previous generation G 500. The new AMG G 63 is equipped with the "one person, one machine" AMG 4.0-liter V8 twin-turbocharged engine, and the acceleration time from zero to 0-60 seconds is as fast as 4.3 seconds. It uses AMG active ride control suspension with active hydraulic roll stabilization function. It uses active hydraulic components to replace traditional mechanical anti-roll bars, which can make the wheels contact the ground as much as possible when the body rolls significantly, greatly improving the climbing ability. and off-road comfort.

last words

Almost four years ago at the same time, the Mercedes-Benz G350 was launched, marking the "return" of the Mercedes-Benz G to the four-cylinder era (as early as 1979, the G-Wagen already had 2.0L and 2.3L four-cylinder engines. cylinder engine version). Everyone said "full of indignation": "Mercedes-Benz, you have changed!", but in their hearts they couldn't help but feel so good and felt that they were one step closer to the big G. When the G580 was released, I received a message from a friend: "A zero-cylinder big G, or not a big G?" Even if you wear tinted glasses, the only bones you can pick out from the eggs are: "It doesn't snore, has no exhaust, and is too Quiet." So, I replied: "It's worth buying, it's still a real big G. Like the G 63 equipped with a 4.0T V8 for one person and one machine, it can provide you with high emotional value!"From 1979 to the present, 45 years later, 80% of Big G is still running healthily on the earth, truly realizing that "one car is passed down to three generations, and people still use the car." In fact, in its 45-year history, whether it is burning gasoline or diesel, whether it is a "zero-cylinder", four-cylinder, six-cylinder, eight-cylinder, or twelve-cylinder, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a "square box" and a "hard-core off-road vehicle". "The essence has never changed. It can go 39 years without any real replacement, it can maintain almost the same design for 45 years, it can defy wind resistance, it can retain the top off-road capabilities, and it has the immunity of "just being yourself". But no matter which G-Class model, they all have a strong spirit of exploration, and they are all totem products certified by the Schekel Mountain in Graz, Austria. Time flies, but legends last forever.
