G-class off-road vehicle: the world’s first luxury pure electric hard-core off-road vehicle comes out
Since its birth in 1979, the G-class off-road vehicle has become an off-road totem in the hearts of countless people with its classic shape and hard-core off-road performance. The new Mercedes-Benz pure electric G-class off-road vehicle was launched in the world, becoming the world’s first luxury pure electric hard-core off-road vehicle.
The brand-new pure electric G-class off-road vehicle inherits the iconic square box shape, round headlights and mechanical door handles, and fully demonstrates the pure "big G" style. The brand-new enclosed grille is surrounded by LED strip, and the classic spare tire cover is replaced by the rear decorative box where tools can be placed, which injects pioneering temperament into the classic. The new pure electric G-class off-road vehicle follows the non-load-bearing body, and the battery pack with double-layer layout is embedded in it. The high-strength underbody protection plate is made of composite materials made of intelligent technology, which can effectively protect the battery pack while ensuring the rigidity of the body. Four independent wheel motors provide powerful power of 432 kW and 1,164 Nm, and each motor is matched with a dedicated two-speed gearbox. Through the torque vector distribution function, the "electric virtual three differential locks" can be realized, and the locking response is as fast as milliseconds, and the vehicle still has steering ability in the locked state. The two-speed gearbox provides electric low-speed off-road gear, and the 2-to-1 gear ratio makes the already abundant torque more powerful. With the classic electric off-road three-piece set, the new pure electric G-class off-road vehicle can still easily achieve 100%(45 degrees) climbing ability, and its wading depth of 850 mm is more powerful than the fuel version of G-class off-road vehicle.
