New models - Mercedes-Benz - G-Class - 580 EQMercedes-Benz G 580 EQ priced for OzFully electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class joins Australian line-up priced from $249,00017 Mar 2025 By MATT BROGAN MERCEDES-BENZ has announced the introduction of its all-electric G-Class range to Australian showrooms this week, the G 580 with EQ Technology, as it is formally known, available from $249,000 plus on-road costs.
With four electric motors – one at each wheel and with 108kW/219Nm apiece – the G 580 EQ offers a total system output figure of 432kW/1164Nm.
That number means the battery-powered model delivers 2kW and 314Nm more than the twin-turbocharged 4.0-lite V8 petrol-powered AMG G 63, a model the G 580 EQ undercuts on price by more than $119,000.
Power comes from a 400-volt/116kWh battery pack (which is protected by a 26mm thick composite bash plate) to offer a claimed driving range of 567km (NEDC). The pack may be recharged from 10 to 80 per cent in 32 minutes via a 200kW DC fast charger. An 11kW AC charger is also available.
Riding on the same ladder-frame chassis as its petrol-powered sibling, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology offers G-Turn steering ability to its off-road arsenal, each wheel capable of being powered individually for additional prowess away from the beaten track.
Water wading is 150mm deeper than petrol-powered models, at 850mm, while a three-speed crawl function allows the G 580 EQ to crawl rocks, climb at a 45-degree angle, or traverse a 35-degree grade. A 360-degree camera system with transparent bonnet feature is also included.
Visually, the G 580 EQ sports aerodynamic elements, a backpack-style tailgate charger housing (in lieu of the spare wheel), and the availability of a blanked-out grille with darkened headlights to further define the model as ‘all electric’.
Inside, familiar dual 12.3-inch instrumentation and infotainment screens run the latest MBUX software and offer connectivity features familiar to the petrol range.
The range is available with options including the Night Package ($4300), Manufaktur Exterior Package ($4100), Black Panel grille cover ($3800), Superior Line Interior Plus Package ($14,500), and Interior Comfort Package ($8500).
In welcoming the G 580 EQ Down Under, Mercedes-Benz will offer a limited-run Edition One variant (from $299,000 +ORC) boasting blue styling elements, five different paint colours, 20-inch aerodynamic wheels, Nappa leather upholstery in silver pearl over black, and carbon-fibre decorative garnishing.
The 2025 Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology is now available nationally.
