► The fastest and most capable G ever?G-Class is finally here. Despite being virtually identical to the ICE G at first glance, manager of eDrive Manuel Urstoeger reveals some very clever engineering bolted to the traditional underpinnings.
A 116kWh battery pack is slung between the chassis rails to lower the centre of gravity and ensure no interior or boot space is lost to electricity. The pack is protected by a composite guard that’s entirely flat and weighs a third of what a steel plate would. That helps aerodynamics and doubles as a skidplate for particularly rocky terrain. The pack’s cells are shared with the updated EQS, although the G 580 has double the drag at .44 against the slinkier saloon’s .22.
However, it’s off the road that the G-Class should excel, so perhaps more importantly, you can ascend and descend the Schöckl mountain pass, the G-Class’s traditional proving ground, 14 times on a single charge. Unlike the ICE G, you don’t get traditional diff locks as there isn’t a differential. Instead, torque vectoring creates a ‘virtual’ diff lock to allow all four wheels to rotate at the same speed.Torque vectoring allows you to do other clever stuff, too.
