Electric Mercedes G-class In South Africa Soon - Here's How Much The Launch Edition Costs

For the first time ever, the Mercedes G-Class will be available with electric power, and its priced at the same level as the new G63 AMG hybrid model.

The new Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology is set to hit local shores during the first quarter of 2025, with the Launch Edition priced at R4,647,456. Thats just R17,000 more than the updated G63 commands.

Mercedes will also offer a standard version of the G580 EV, which will presumably cost less, but pricing for this version has yet to be released.

Although it lacks the roaring V8 that many G-Class fans have come to love, the G580 EV does have some rather interesting features.

Featuring an electric motor on each wheel, the G580 boasts a G-TURN function that allows it to perform tank turns almost on the spot, even on loose surfaces.
