Car Buyer's Guide

Overview

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is a high-end electric 4x4 SUV in N465 G580 form, aimed at buyers who want the G-Wagen shape with zero tailpipe emissions. In Malaysia, it starts from RM958,888 and pairs a 116 kWh battery with a quoted 473 km range, 579 hp and five seats.

G-Class in 2026 — what's new

The current G-Class carries on into 2026 unchanged, with the Malaysian range made up of the G580 with EQ Technology and the G580 with EQ Technology Edition One. The electric G-Class arrived in Malaysia in 2025, while recent G-Class news has centred on a teased Cabriolet, the 600,000-unit production milestone and the smaller “Little G” due in 2027 with hybrid and EV powertrains.

Which variant to buy

Most buyers should start with the G580 with EQ Technology at RM958,888. The Edition One costs RM998,888, but the listed mechanicals are the same: 116 kWh battery, 473 km range, 579 hp, conventional automatic and five seats. On paper, the RM40,000 gap buys trim rather than a different powertrain, so pay more only if the Edition One equipment and finish are must-haves.

Verdict

The G580 with EQ Technology gives the G-Class an electric option without moving it away from the upper end of the electric SUV market. It costs far more than a Mercedes-Benz EQS SUV and a Lotus Eletre, while sitting below the Mercedes-Maybach EQS SUV. Against the G63, it was launched at roughly half the money. The blunt appeal is the G-Class format with an EV drivetrain.
