AutoBeta(AutoBeta.net)04/07 Report--

In order to comply with the rationalization of global carbon emissions, more and more brands begin to compromise, in addition to stop production and reduce emissions of high-emission models, and even launch electric models. Recently, as a hard-line off-road Mercedes-Benz big G has also been confirmed to promote pure electric models, which will become another "lower limit" after the big G launched 2.0T small engine.

According to foreign media reports, the news that Big G will launch an electric version seems to have been confirmed by a move by Mercedes-Benz. As we all know, the EQ series is the latest electric model series of Mercedes-Benz. The EQA, EQB, EQC and EQV models that have been released or unveiled are all electric versions of Mercedes-Benz fuel vehicles, and the all-electric model family of EQ series will still be expanded in the future.

Just after the official announcement that Mercedes-Benz will launch its new flagship electric model Mercedes-Benz EQS on April 15, according to an exposed European Union intellectual property Office (EUIPO), on April 1, 2021, Daimler AG registered information about EQG 580s and EQG 560s, showing that they are mainly used in cars and their parts, especially pure electric vehicles. It is reported that the current registration status shows "to be examined". According to the naming rules of the series of models, it means that the arrival of pure electric G-class cars is also approaching.

In fact, there was news that Mercedes-Benz wanted to produce a pure electric G-class, which was officially confirmed by Mercedes-Benz in October 2020. According to the plan, Mercedes-Benz electric cars will account for more than half of its global sales by 2030.

For Big G, it has always given people a kind of "cross-country shrine", which has become the target of non-off-road fans, but it has caused a lot of controversy because of the introduction of the G-class of 2.0T four-cylinder, and now it has launched an electric version of the car. It undoubtedly makes people feel that Big G has gradually lost its "soul". After all, Big G is exciting to have that unique sound, which means that the sound will disappear after electrification.

In the future, the design of the new car may be very different from other EQ series, it is expected to adopt the current Mercedes-Benz G-class design, and has a certain off-road ability, but the model will be more in line with the development of the future era.

However, it is believed that in recent years, small emissions still dominate Mercedes-Benz models in the market, including Mercedes-Benz C-Class, Mercedes-Benz GLAs, Mercedes-Benz GLBs and other models are equipped with 1.5T or 1.3T small engine, while the more advanced Mercedes-Benz E-Class, Mercedes-Benz CLC, CLS and G-Class are all 2.0T models, which all reflect that Mercedes-Benz is to meet the fuel consumption emission standards. It is worth mentioning that in order to save the market, Mercedes-Benz E-Class and Mercedes-Benz S-Class have been replaced with 2.0T and 3.0T engines.

On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz's move also shows that traditional car companies continue to compromise on the road of electrified transformation. After all, with the exception of Mercedes-Benz G, hardcore off-road brands such as JEEP, Land Rover and Hummer have begun to transform into electric vehicles, and it can only be said that today's emissions are suppressed by stringent emission regulations, and high-engine cross-country models such as hard-core ones will no longer exist.
