Mercedes-Benz EQG Spied With Stable Rear Axle, Redesigned Bumpers

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQG, which is the all-electric model of the enduring G-Class, has been caught as soon as once more by our spy photographers throughout chilly climate testing within the North of Europe at an undisclosed location, with some adjustments noticed because the final encounter with the German off-roader.

As we beforehand discovered from our first-ride evaluation with a improvement prototype of the EQG, the upcoming electrical mannequin will characteristic 4 electrical motors (one for every wheel), in addition to 4 switch instances (one for every electrical motor), however so far as we are able to make out from the newest batch of spy pictures, Mercedes-Benz seems to be making ready multiple variant of the EQG, with entry-level variations presumably sporting fewer than 4 electrical motors.

In one of many pictures (embedded within the gallery beneath), we are able to clearly see a single rear differential that’s a part of a inflexible axle, similar to on the inner combustion engine G-Class, in addition to a pair of adaptive dampers. The one rear differential requires a single drive shaft to place it in movement, so utilizing two electrical motors to energy it appears pointless and received’t do something by way of torque vectoring.

On the entrance, nonetheless, the spied prototype seems to be outfitted with a unique setup that may become a twin-motor drive unit, however there’s no affirmation on this but. Moreover, it’s unclear how Mercedes-Benz plans on implementing differential locks on this setup, but when we needed to guess, it could be an old-school mechanical locker for the rear axle and an digital locker for the entrance axle.

Transferring ahead to the design, the newest spy pictures reveal redesigned entrance and rear bumpers, barely revised fender flares, and new aero wheels which might be unique to the EQG, however as with all prototype, these may not find yourself on the sequence manufacturing automobile. 

The all-electric Mercedes-EQG is predicted to debut someday in direction of the top of the yr or initially of 2024. Geared up with a ladder-frame chassis that homes the battery pack of a yet-to-be-disclosed capability, the upcoming zero-emissions off-roader will be capable of deal with hardcore trails with its differential locks and excessive floor clearance, similar to its ICE-powered counterpart (minus the tailpipe emissions).

As all the time, we’d wish to know what you consider this, so scroll all the way down to the feedback part beneath and inform us your ideas.
