Not long ago, Mercedes-Benz released the "electric big G", the car did not use the name of EGQ, but was named G 580 with EQ Technology, which can be roughly regarded as a G-class off-road model with Mercedes-Benz EQ technology, the new car is equipped with a 116 kWh battery pack, with a maximum range of 473 kilometers (WLTP working conditions), and the EDITION ONE version was also launched at the press conference, providing exclusive body colors and adding exclusive logos.
In the domestic market, the car has not yet given the corresponding price, in Europe, the standard version of the G580 is priced at 142621.5 euros, about 1.1 million yuan, and the EDITION ONE version is priced at 192524.15 euros, about 1.486 million yuan, the new car will be officially launched in the second half of this year, according to convention, the price of the domestic version is definitely higher than that of overseas markets. In the field of electric vehicles, and there are already similar competitors such as U8 and Mengshi 917, it is a bit difficult to say whether the electric big G can still be as sought after as the fuel big G.
Look at the new car, the appearance of G580 continues the shape of the fuel version, the familiar square box look, the familiar style, compared with the previously unveiled EQG concept car, the details are much more convergent, at a glance people can remember that this is a Mercedes-Benz big G, but it is not a pure electric version, you can distinguish it by the closed grille at the front and the illuminated LED daytime running lights around the grille, in addition, it is really difficult for you to distinguish the difference between it and the fuel big G.
The sides are square and stiff, offering prominent lines that run through the front and rear, the roof is straight, the front and rear wheel arches are protruding, equipped with pedals and traditional mechanical door handles, and the wheels are also five-spoke or multi-spoke styles, and the overall shape does not seem to have anything to do with drag coefficient and pure electric drive. The rear of the car is equipped with a full-size spare tire, and a rounded rectangular external storage box is also optional, with a side-opening tailgate, the rear bar is prominent, the taillights are horizontally laid out, the size is not large, and the tailgate glass also provides a high-mounted brake light.
The interior is also copied from the interior of the fuel big G, with a sporty three-spoke multi-function steering wheel, a fan-style air conditioning outlet, a large-size dual screen, an off-road handle above the co-pilot's glove box, and a lot of physical buttons and touch panels are retained in the center console.
The "three locks" button in the middle of the fuel big G air conditioning outlet is still there, but after electrification, the function has been canceled, and the three buttons have been replaced with G-STEERING, G-TURN, LOW RANGE, which represents the reduction of turning radius, maintaining off-road speed, and other functions such as turning on the spot, and the OFF ROAD COCKPIT button is also provided above, which supports real-time viewing of off-road data including compass, steering angle, tire pressure, etc., and the rear seat provides 2 LCD screens, The luxurious and technological atmosphere that it should have is still given.
Size, the length, width and height of the new car are 4624 * 1931 * 1986 mm, the wheelbase is 2890 mm, the wheelbase is exactly the same as the fuel G, the curb weight is 3085 kg, the trunk volume is 555 liters, the rear seats support the proportion of reclining, and the maximum can be expanded to 1990 liters after being fully folded. The minimum ground clearance is 250 mm, the approach angle of the vehicle is 32 degrees, the departure angle is 30.7 degrees, and the longitudinal passing angle is 20.3 degrees, which is an increase over the fuel version of the larger G, and the wading depth changes the most, increasing by 150 mm to 850 mm.
In terms of power, the new car is equipped with a four-wheel independent motor, with a maximum comprehensive output of 432 kilowatts (588 horsepower), a peak torque of 1164 Nm, a maximum acceleration of 4.7 seconds, a maximum speed of 180 km/h, a 116 kWh battery pack, a maximum range of 473 km (WLTP mode), a range of about 580 km converted to CLTC mode, support fast charging, and 170 km of range can be increased in 15 minutes.
In terms of chassis suspension, a combination of independent suspension with front double wishbones and a rigid rear axle is adopted, in which the rear axle is a completely redeveloped de Dion axle, the motor is placed on a trapezoidal frame, and the suspension travel does not change the camber angle during compression. In addition, as a hard-core off-road model, in response to the chassis bump, Mercedes-Benz G580 is to install a carbon-containing intelligent hybrid material on the chassis, which is fixed on the frame by more than 50 screws, the thickness of this guard plate is 26 mm, the reason why carbon-containing composite materials are used is to reduce weight, the weight of this guard plate is only 57.6 kg, if it is a steel plate of the same thickness, the weight should be increased by 3 times, and a layer of 1 mm thick protective layer is also coated on this guard plate to prevent the impact of gravel chips when off-road.
The Mercedes-Benz G580 also supports a U-turn on the spot, with a maximum of 90 degrees in 1 second, one turn in 4 seconds, and a maximum of 2 consecutive turns at a time, in addition to 100% climbing ability (45 degree slope), which can maintain stability on a sidehill of 35 degrees.
Without the big heart of V8, the official G-ROAR simulation sound function can simulate the sound of the V8 engine, and at the same time provide a sound atmosphere in different driving dynamics, which can be regarded as giving a little psychological comfort.
