Mercedes faces challenges with its electric G-Class, the G580, which has sold only 1,450 units compared to 9,700 combustion versions. Reports suggest the electric model's appeal is limited, leading the company to consider combustion options for the upcoming junior G model. Although Mercedes reported improved total G-Class sales, insiders voiced concerns about the G580’s niche status. Its performance is impressive, featuring a quad-motor powertrain with 239 miles of range; however, it struggles to attract buyers more interested in traditional V-8 powertrains.
The car is sitting like lead at dealers; it's a complete flop.
It's a niche model; production numbers are very low.
Combined G-Class sales beat all previous records in Q4 2024 and improved 18% so far in 2025.
Despite having a capable quad-motor powertrain, the G580's 239-mile range isn't enough to attract buyers away from V-8 variants.
