The third-generation Mercedes G-Class restyling refines the iconic Gelandewagen, now spanning diesel, gasoline, and fully electric powertrains in its five-door SUV body.
The third-generation restyling offers distinct powertrain choices. The G450d uses a 3.0 diesel with automatic transmission, while the G500 pairs a 3.0 gasoline engine to the same gearbox—both sending power through all-wheel drive. The G580EQ adds a fully electric option, replacing combustion with silent torque. Each suits different needs, from long-distance diesel efficiency to gasoline smoothness or zero-emission urban driving.

For the G450d, the Gelandewagen trim offers a focused equipment package, reflecting the generation's breadth. Mercedes typically layers comfort and technology across trims, so higher specifications add premium materials and advanced assistance. Readers considering the restyled G-Class should check local offerings, as equipment can vary by market and model year.
The G580EQ marks the G-Class's electric transition with a lithium-ion battery, offering silent, emission-free travel while retaining the model's all-wheel-drive capability. Real-world range depends on driving style, temperature, and terrain. Charging at home or using fast public stations makes it practical for daily use, though long off-road trips require planning around available infrastructure.
