Mercedes-Benz Warns It Will Close a German Assembly Plant and Engine Factory Unless Costs Come Down
Sep 22, 2026The Spec'd take
Why it stands out
- Four electric motors, one per wheel, make 587 hp and 1,164 Nm, so this G gets to 100 km/h in 4.7 seconds with zero fuss
- It is still a proper off-roader: low range, Offroad Crawl down to about 2 km/h, G-STEERING, and the party trick G-TURN that spins it almost on the spot
- 850 mm wading depth is 100 mm more than the combustion G-Class, since there is no air intake to drown
- Loaded cabin with Burmester 3D sound, MBUX Rear-Seat Entertainment, Active Multicontour seats and a huge MANUFAKTUR palette of 34 paints
Worth knowing
- At Rs 3.10 crore it costs well over the G 450d and even the AMG G 63
- A 3,085 kg kerb weight and a 473 km WLTP range mean long highway runs need planning around fast chargers
- Top speed is capped at 180 km/h, well short of the AMG G 63
- Boxy body still means a tall step-in and a side-hinged tailgate that needs space behind the car
