Mercedes G-Class Electric: Thrill Meets Silence
Summary generated by AI · Reviewed by Gear Choice Team
The electric G-Class offers an elevated, silent driving experience, maintaining its iconic 'beast' feel.
Its powerful torque and thrill level are comparable to the petrol G-Class, defying initial expectations.
Retains the classic boxy design with modern touches; delivers 380-400 km real-world city range.
To be straight, the Mercedes-Benz G-Class Electric gave me a completely different feeling. I’ve been driving luxury SUVs for the past 10 years, but this electric version is on another level. The first time I got behind the wheel, I thought, “Yep, this is the same beast, just silent now.”
Design and Look
The exterior still has that classic boxy shape. Just a few modern touches and smooth lines added. The headlights are clean and bright. Driving through the city, I could feel the car turning heads everywhere.

I remember the dealer saying that the electric version might not give the same old-school G-Class feeling. But when I pressed the accelerator, the torque really hit hard. Honestly, the thrill level was no less than a petrol G-Class.
Performance and Real-World Range
The company claims 500 km range, but in real life, I got around 380–400 km in the city. On highways, it drained a bit faster. Handling and suspension were both smooth. Taking U-turns in narrow streets was surprisingly easy.
Interior and Comfort
Inside, it felt like sitting in a futuristic car. Big screens, ambient lights, and super comfy seats. However, there was one minor issue: the software was a bit buggy, and voice commands didn't always work.

The driving experience was smooth, both in the city and on the highway. The steering felt natural, and the seats were excellent.
Pros and Things to Keep in Mind
If you want luxury, brand value, and electric technology, definitely consider the G-Class Electric. The cost is high, and charging points in India are still limited. Small software glitches may occur.
Final thought the G-Class Electric gave me an amazing driving experience. The combination of driving pleasure, comfort, and tech is rare. Last week, I spoke with the dealer, and even they said the response in the luxury EV market has been very positive. Personal opinion this is not just a showpiece; it’s a real-world performer too.
