Mercedes-Benz G580 vs GMC Hummer EV: rugged EVs face off

There’s finally an electric G-Wagon. Mercedes-Benz unveiled the new vehicle, officially called the Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology, after months of rumors and camouflaged sightings. But it’s not the only rugged electric vehicle out there. In fact, there are quite a few EVs that could be considered rugged — like the Rivian R1S, the Rivian R2, and, of course, the Hummer EV.

New for this iteration is a revamped face, which still has a large Mercedes-Benz logo in the center and is still flanked by large, circular headlights. Most of what’s new about the face has to do with the new grille, which has a few horizontal air intake holes. The G580 measures 182 inches long, 76 inches wide, and 78 inches high.

The interior of the Hummer EV follows a similar path. It could also be described as “rugged-luxury,” with a large screen at the front and relatively high-end seat coverings and other materials. Some reviews note that the build materials on the interior could be a little higher-end considering the vehicle’s price tag, but that’s certainly not to say that they’re cheap. At the front, there’s a 13.4-inch display for infotainment and a 12.3-inch display for instrument monitoring.

The Hummer EV may not have four motors, but it still has either two or three, and in both cases, you’ll get all-wheel drive — even if those wheels can’t be controlled independently. With the dual-motor variant , you’ll get 570 horsepower, while the tri-motor powertrain ups that to a massive 1,000 horsepower. According to GMC, the tri-motor variant can get from 0 to 60 miles per hour in a hugely impressive 3.0 seconds — a fair bit quicker than the G580.
