Discussions and Questions Mercedes G 580 Edition One
So how will the G 580 Edition One’s limited customization options affect its appeal to traditional G-Wagen enthusiasts?

Mercedes have made a smart move. By limiting options they streamline production and get an idea of which configurations do and don’t sell so they can do things differently with future models.
Is the G 580's "G Turn" (360 degree spin) really a gimmick or will it be useful?
13 January 2025 12:30
I think we underestimate how useful this could be in cities. Think about parallel parking, or trying to turn around in an alley. This could be a game changer for urban driving.
The G 580 Edition One is all that and more, but is it worth the hype, or do you just pay for a status symbol?
13 January 2025 12:30
Hands down a overpriced status symbol. The range is disappointing for the money and let's be honest, most buyers will never take it off road. It's just a way for rich people to get their eco-friendly on, while they show off at the same time.
But will the G 580's boxy design have a material effect on its real world range?
13 January 2025 12:30
But we'll see how they perform in real world tests. I think it’ll be okay for city driving, but long highway trips might be a little rough. Still, most G-Wagen owners aren't road tripping to begin with.
Does the electric drivetrain of the G 580 improve or deteriorate its off road capabilities?
13 January 2025 12:30
It's a mixed bag. If the batteries are heavy, they will be an issue in soft terrain, but the electric motors will be fantastic for low speed maneuvers. I’d like to see some real world tests before I make a judgment.
