The Mercedes-Benz G-Class<\/a> is one of the most interesting cars on the market. It’s a super premium SUV, with mountains of leather and wood, but it’s also one of the most capable off-roaders on the planet. It also retains the shape of the original G-Class from the ’60s and ’70s, yet costs more than almost any luxury SUV on the market. Clearly, it’s in a relatively niche market. Despite that, though, the folks in Stuttgart decided to make an electric one — the Mercedes-Benz EQG.<\/p>\n There might not be a more straightforward EV at the 2021 IAA. Mercedes-Benz just took a G-Class and swapped out its engine for some electric motors. Four of them, in fact, with an electric motor powering each wheel. No word on power but, without four motors, it’s bound to be a lot.<\/p>\n
