- Thread starter Monster
- Start date
The Mercedes-Benz G-Class, colloquially known as the G-Wagon or G-Wagen (as an abbreviation of Geländewagen), is a four-wheel drive luxury SUV manufactured by Magna Steyr (formerly Steyr-Daimler-Puch) in Graz, Styria, Austria, and sold by Mercedes-Benz. Originally developed as a military off-roader, later more luxurious models were added to the line. In certain markets, it was sold under the Puch name as Puch G until 2000.

Wow.. thats awesome! I still feel that Merc should make G as the flagship of SUVs

It already is really. The price point is way above the GLS to start. It carries far more status and heritage.

True but they call GLS as the flagship, may be cos of more comfort features

And it is more comfortable as a whole. The G class still has the off road ability enhancing dependant rear suspension. The G is like:"no pain, no gain".

A hybrid variant is plausible in the next 24months.

And an electric G is already available from Kreisel. 
Its sad that the V12 is slowly dying off. It would be lovely to see a new gen V12 with hybrid tech. Imagine a AMG G65 with 850hp V12 hybrid, it will be a beast and eat Huracans for breakfast lol,

MERCEDES EQG (2022)
The electric G-Class is coming
Mercedes launches a purely electric powered version of the legendary G-Class. This confirmed Daimler boss Ola Källenius at an industry congress. "There will be an emission-free EV version of the Mercedes G-Class. There had been discussions in the past about stopping the model. As I see it now, the last Mercedes we build is a G-Class. "
The confirmation follows a series of speculations. In 2017, for example, the company already had the series designations of all EQ models protected - including the model name "EQG". In early 2018, former California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger publicly got Dieter Zetsche vague promises for the E-version of the G, whereupon the then SUV boss Gunnar Güthenke told auto motor und sport (issue 5/2018): "Well, there we have now probably a development contract. At the very least, the ladder frame construction would be well suited to accommodate the batteries."
The world premiere in Detroit
Mercedes is looking for developers
Incidentally, since mid-2019, the car manufacturer has been looking for a development engineer for the energy management and charging system in the G-Class's electric powertrain at the production site of the G-Class. Already in the job description Daimler speaks of the "system responsibility ... to maturity".
Which possibilities has the Mercedes G-class, showed the end of 2017, the Austrian company Kreisel. They built, in addition to a Hummer H1, and a G-class with electric drive train, which consisted of two electric motors with 490 hp.
Visually, the difference from the Mercedes G-model to the EQG should not be particularly strong. As a small blueprint you could take the boxy design of the upcoming, the electric version of the GLB.

CONCLUSION
The G-Class, with its powerful and high-emission engines, spoils the company's carbon footprint. As a consequence, only the end of the iconic model would be in question, or the departure from conventional engines to electric drive. This shows Mercedes innovative and forward-looking, could continue to sell its conventional G models in the relevant and high-margin markets. And climate protection does not stop at the borders of Russia or Saudi Arabia ....

sooooooo, I take it that a BEV G-class will not be the choice of trekking out into the middle of Africa or the Empty Quarter in Oman?
