WATT MATTERS?

The electric G-Class is a fascinating contradiction: one of the world's most recognisable off-road shapes powered entirely by batteries. Mercedes has preserved the visual theatre while changing almost everything underneath.

THE BASICS

A large battery-electric off-road SUV using a sophisticated electric drivetrain and a body designed to retain the G-Class identity. Range, weight and charging become especially important on remote journeys.

THE WATTCAR TAKE

An electric G-Class is more than a novelty, but it remains a highly specialised luxury purchase. Its appeal is emotional as much as practical, and the off-road engineering deserves to be judged on its own merits.
