The automaker had considered retiring the G-Wagen but now believes that an electric version of the luxury off-roader might compete in an increasingly saturated market.

According to the Auto blog, Mercedes-electric Benz’s G-Wagen will be available in mid-2024, according to company chairman Ola Källenius during a weekly roundtable with media.

Källenius also said he drove a prototype version of the electric SUV at the company’s testing site in Graz, Austria. convinced him that electric vehicles are the future of off-road adventure. The electric G-Wagen is “just 24 months away,” Källenius told The Verge’s Nilay Patel in June.

The idea has all-wheel drive, so the real version will, too.2021’s electrified G-Wagen was more design exercise than a display car.

The idea EQG has the same two-tone paint treatment as the EQS. It had an illuminated grille like some previous concepts and real cars. The production EQG will arrive in mid-2024, joining the GMC Hummer EV truck and SUV, Rivian R1T and R1S, Chevy Silverado EV, and Ford F-150 Lightning.

The G-Wagen has always been a status symbol car and an off-roader, so anticipate the production EQG to include the same amenities as Mercedes-newest, Benz’s most costly models, such as the EQS sedan. The electric G-Wagen might be impressive if Mercedes-Benz can provide the EQG with the same range and performance as its EQS and EQE sedans.

Mercedes-Benz will invest €40 billion ($47 billion) to go all-electric by 2030.
