Mercedes-Benz is all set to launch the EQG SUV in India later this year and has started accepting bookings. It is essentially the electric version of the G-Class SUV, which was globally revealed in April 2024. Here’s all you need to know about this German electric SUV: –
- Exterior Design – The electrified G-Wagon retains its iconic boxy shape and circular LED headlamps & DRLs, with EV-specific revisions such as a closed-off black front grille with illumination and a redesigned bumper. It also gets 20-inch alloy wheels on the AMG model and a new tailgate-mounted compartment for storing the charger, replacing the spare wheel found on its ICE version.
