02:55 - Ladies and gentlemen, I'm super excited
02:57 to introduce to you the most capable,
03:00 the most iconic electric off-roader today,
03:04 the Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ technology.
03:08 As the first ever EV in its segment,
03:10 the G-Wagon again writes history
03:13 by kicking off the electric era of luxury off-roaders.
03:18 As you can see, the new electric G
03:20 is a G-Class through and through.
03:23 Moreover, it's the perfect fusion of tradition and progress.
03:28 On the one hand, it stays true to the iconic style
03:32 that a G should have.
03:34 The black panel grill with LED light strips
03:36 makes it even more stunning than ever.
03:39 On the other hand, this G-Wagon's off-road capabilities
03:43 have been raised to new levels
03:45 thanks to its drive technologies.
03:47 Now, what makes this electric G-Class the one and only?
03:51 Firstly, the G-Class is always the uncompromising off-roader
03:57 even in the electric era.
03:59 The G 580 is highly versatile
04:02 with four individually controlled electric motors.
04:05 As a result, it provides an exceptional 432 kilowatts
04:10 of output and 1,164 newton meters of peak torque.
04:15 Many of its driving highlights are setting new benchmarks.
04:19 Number one, the revolutionary G-Turn.
04:22 It helps you easily manage sticky situations on loose ground
04:27 and it allows the vehicle to be rotated
04:29 up to 720 degrees without stopping.
04:32 Number two, the new G-Steering
04:36 dramatically reduces the turning circle in rough terrain.
04:40 Just imagine how practical it is
04:42 when driving tight off-road corners at low speeds.
04:46 And number three, as you can see from the start,
04:50 the off-road crawl function helps you gain more control
04:53 when going up or downhill on low-grip roads.
04:57 The electric G continues to demonstrate
05:00 top-notch stability and body control.
05:03 100% slope climbing?
05:05 Sure, as always.
05:07 It's also perfect to handle a side slope angle of 35 degrees.
05:12 The fording ability is genuinely impressive.
05:15 It allows you to drive through water or mud
05:18 up to 85 centimeters deep.
05:20 That's 15 centimeters deeper than its ICE siblings.
05:25 Secondly, our electric technologies ensure an even safer
05:29 and more efficient off-road experience.
05:32 As the pioneer in this segment,
05:34 we've installed a composite skid plate
05:38 which is made of an intelligent material mix
05:40 containing carbon.
05:42 Such material provides significantly increased protection
05:46 for the battery, but weighs three times less than steel.
05:49 The 116 kilowatt-hour battery enables a CLTC range
05:55 of around 570 kilometers.
05:58 Simply put, it can take you from Kunming
06:01 to Yulong Mountain on a single charge.
06:03 As a first for all electric vehicles,
06:07 we have the new two-speed transmission.
06:10 This ensures that the G580 can maximize the torque
06:14 while minimizing energy consumption on on and off-road.
06:18 Thirdly, the electric G keeps you entertained
06:22 with enhanced digital figure.
06:24 We upgraded the infotainment experience through MBUX
06:28 with a 12.3-inch driver and media displays,
06:32 so you can have as much fun sitting in your G
06:35 as you do off-roading.
06:38 And this fun now also extends to the rear seat
06:40 with two fully integrated 11.6-inch touch displays.
06:45 One more thing, the electric G also comes
06:48 with an entirely new G Roar.
06:51 Electric V8.
06:59 With this sound experience, the electric G
07:05 is simply the king of the jungle on roads.
07:09 Ladies and gentlemen, for the G-Class,
07:11 we always say it's stronger than time.
07:14 The G is not only about being an off-road legend
07:17 and its iconic shape.
07:18 It's the off-road icon that carries our spirit forward.
07:23 Never compromise, never follow the crowd, never give up.
07:27 Since 1979, we've built over half a million G-Class vehicles
07:32 over the last 45 years.
07:34 As a testament to their robustness,
07:37 as many as 80% of them are still on the road today.
07:41 As the saying goes, where there is a G, there is a way.
07:44 Over the last two decades, we've been fortunate
07:49 to gain more than 50,000 G-Class customers here in China,
07:53 as its second largest market in the world.
07:57 Today, we're offering our fans
07:58 the most diverse G portfolio.
08:01 This includes the all-electric new G500,
08:06 and the AMG G63, and limited models
08:09 like the AMG G63 Grand Edition.
08:12 With the further expansion
08:15 of our Manufaktur customization program,
08:18 the G icons can be as unique as you desire.
08:22 Moreover, I'm very happy to announce
08:24 that our electric G will be launched in China this year.
08:29 But before delivering such an iconic model to our customers,
08:33 we needed it to master the Schöckl Mountain
08:36 near its hometown of Graz.
08:38 It climbed up and down the gradients
08:40 of up to 60% over 300 times.
08:43 That's more than 2,000 kilometers.
08:46 And we just wrapped up winter testing,
08:48 and we booked the toughest test driver we could find.
08:52 Guess who it is?
08:53 Let's have a look.
