"Mercedes-Benz has ambitious electrification plans, having already launched the EQB crossover, EQS luxury sedan, smaller EQE sedan, and EQS SUV. Eventually, even the boxy G-class—not exactly known for its eco-friendliness with its 577-hp V-8 AMG G63 model—will spawn an electric variant. Mercedes previewed the electric G-class last year with the flashy EQG concept but revealed very little about the off-roader's mechanical components. Now Mercedes has given a taste of what the production version of the EQG will be capable of by showing off one of its party tricks, the G-turn, during a recent conference."
