In terms of looks, the G 580 EV looks little different from the standard G-class with a closer look revealing some minor differences. The G 580 EV gets a closed-off grille, tweaks to the bumper design and revised cladding along the A-pillars to make it more aerodynamic and model unique alloy wheels. Round the back, the EV however gets a roof-mounted spoiler and air curtains on the rear wheel arches to aid in reducing drag. You, however, still get the tailgate-mounted spare wheel though you do get the option to swap it out with a storage box to store away odds and ends or the charging cable. The G 580 is being offered in AMG Line spec with slightly sportier looks and 20-inch alloy wheels.

Inside, the cabin design is unchanged from the standard G-class replete with the widescreen display housing the instrument cluster and central touchscreen. The digital interfaces now run EQ-specific software. A key difference to the internal combustion model comes down to the buttons on the centre console with the traditional three-locking differential switches replaced by those for the ‘tank turn’ feature and activating low range. Features on offer include heated, ventilated and massaging front seats, 64 colour ambient lighting, three-zone climate control, temperature-controlled cup holders, a sunroof, MBUX with in-built navigation and more.
