Mercedes-Benz G-class sedan is electrified, what do you think of the new energy off-road vehicle?

Mercedes-Benz also recently announced that the Mercedes-Benz malaysia G-Class will independently become a new sub-brand, and will jointly launch new electric models with Mercedes-AMG and Mercedes-Maybach in the future.

Not long ago, the Mercedes-Benz G350 changed from eight-cylinder to four-cylinder. Many people think that it is no longer the "tough guy" of the past. However, more cruel things may still be behind. Let’s talk about off-road today. Something about electrification of cars.

The release of this new strategy also announced that Mercedes-Benz will accelerate its layout on the electrified road. However, not all models are expected to be electrified. If the "tough guy" in the hearts of the majority of car fans is also electrified, it will definitely cause considerable controversy.

Judging from the rendering, the Mercedes-Benz EQG will maintain the classic square shape in appearance, and the front face will also continue the classic design style of the fuel version of the Mercedes-Benz G-Class. The round headlights will also be retained, but a large number of appearances will be added. The blue element representing new energy, the front air intake grille may also adopt a closed design; the sides and rear are still square and hard-core, and the taillights may adopt a through design to show the sense of technology. In addition, there will be EQG in the lower left corner of the rear. Logo. As for the specific power configuration, no detailed information is currently available.

For pure electric vehicles, cruising range is one of the important performances. At present, many new energy vehicles on the domestic market are converted from oil to electricity, which has obvious shortcomings in cruising range. "Oil-to-electricity", as the name implies, is a new energy vehicle product obtained by modifying the original fuel vehicle product, removing the engine, gearbox, fuel tank and other components, and adding the electric drive module. Because "oil-to-electricity" saves time and effort, it has become the choice of many car companies. Such cars are prone to short battery life, slow charging, and poor electrical safety from the beginning of their birth.

According to the current situation, Mercedes-Benz will still adopt a transitional method to spread to pure electric. That is to say, AMG, Mercedes-Benz G-class and other models will likely adopt plug-in hybrid technology, because Mercedes-Benz always believes that pure electric vehicles are expected Still unable to become the mainstream of the market within time. The addition of plug-in hybrid technology will not only weaken the off-road capability and luxury attributes, but may also make the Mercedes-Benz G stronger, which has long been used in some other hard-core off-road vehicles.

If we reject electrification too much, we may be narrow-minded. After all, the general trend of energy conservation and emission reduction has been set. Although it seems that pure electric technology is still in the early stage of development, there are still many shortcomings. The pure electricization of hard-core off-road vehicles will definitely make it difficult for many people to accept, but if you think optimistically, it may be very convenient to charge in a few years. It is no different from refueling, and the cruising range of pure electric vehicles will also have a great leap.
