On the skidpad, Källenius demonstrates how the individual motors can vector the EQG to maintain control when slip is detected. Even when inducing significant oversteer, the cockpit remains calm. Following an acceleration test on ice, which Mercedes claims takes only a few seconds, Källenius proceeds to more sideways fun. It is unclear whether the stability systems are adjusted or disabled during this portion of the video, but the vehicle has no problem maintaining plenty of opposite lock.
The video concludes with a short trail ride off the lake, where a few technical details are revealed. The electric G-Class has a 32-degree approach angle and a 35-degree departure angle, which is slightly better than the current model. Additionally, it has 9.8 inches of ground clearance, which is also a few tenths better than the ICE version.
It has been some time since Mercedes introduced the electric G-Class with the EQG concept. Fortunately, the production model will be unveiled this year, although a specific date has not been announced. In the meantime, anticipate a few more teasers before the official reveal.
