Electric Beast Mercedes-Benz G 580 Arrives in PH at ₱13.59M

Mercedes-Benz Philippines has officially brought in the all-electric G-Class, known as the G 580 with EQ Technology. Priced at ₱13.59 million, this is the first-ever G-Wagen that runs purely on battery power, still iconic, still intimidating, but now silent enough to sneak past your neighbor’s gate without waking the dogs.

Power and Range

At its core is a 116 kWh lithium-ion battery made up of 216 cells across 12 modules, giving the SUV a usable energy capacity of 116 kWh. On a single charge, it can cover up to 475 kilometers based on the WLTP cycle, enough for a Manila-to-Baguio run with some juice left.

Its four electric motors, one at each wheel, combine for 587 horsepower and 1,164 Nm of torque, allowing it to climb 100-percent grades, cross 850 mm of water, and handle 35-degree side slopes. Basically, it’s still a G-Wagen: tough, ridiculous, and overbuilt.

Off-Road Party Tricks

The electric G-Class keeps its legendary off-road credibility with some futuristic add-ons:

• G-Turn: lets the SUV spin 360 degrees in place like a tank (but only twice in a row before it locks you out).
• G-Steering: reduces the turning radius drastically for tight off-road trails.
• Torque vectoring: ensures maximum traction on all surfaces.

Luxury and Features

Inside, it’s peak Mercedes opulence: dual 12.3-inch displays, wireless Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, and a Burmester 3D surround system. There’s also G-Roar, a sound generator that makes sure this EV doesn’t roll around in silence, it can be toggled to produce a bold, engine-like soundtrack both inside and outside.

The AMG Line package comes standard, giving the G 580 sporty touches: 20-inch AMG wheels, silver chrome grille, bumper inserts, and brake calipers with the Mercedes-Benz name stamped on them,m because subtlety isn’t the point here.
