Mercedes G-Class is going electric, fulfilling the promise made to Arnold Schwarzenegger by Daimler Chair Dieter Zetsche in 2018. That was when the all-new G wagon was released and came as a surprise to many as the rugged utilitarian appearance of the G always seemed to be more of an internal combustion engine car.
When it goes on sale sometime in 2022, it will sell alongside the gas-powered version for the immediate future at least. The concept EQG looks very similar to the regular G-Class, with some differences in the digital front grille, lower grille mesh and 22-inch wheels. There is also extra exterior lighting on offer with the side rub strips now illuminated with LED’s, and a large roof mounted rack sporting a wide LED light front and back.
