RiderTua.com – Mercedes-Benz has presented the latest generation of the G-Class several months ago. This SUV with a retro design has an electric variant, so the car doesn’t produce as many emissions as the conventional model. However, Mercedes-Benz will still produce the G-Class with a V8 engine. Because they want to meet the demand in their market.
Mercedes-Benz G-Class Now Presents BEV Variant
At first glance, the new generation G-Class doesn’t have many differences compared to the old model. Of course, this makes it look different from other Mercedes-Benz cars, which on average have a more modern design, but this is also its characteristic. Additionally, the latest generation G-Class now has an electric variant, although they don’t classify it as an EQ series.
With the introduction of this BEV model, many suspect that Mercedes-Benz will stop selling the petrol engine variant. But the German brand doesn’t want to do that for now, because the G-Class with a V8 petrol engine is still sought after on the global market. They admit that there are still many consumers who like the G-Class with a V8 engine, because its power and performance are quite good.
Iconic SUV
Mercedes-Benz will look for ways to keep the V8 engine in the G-Class, especially in keeping the engine efficient and powerful. If there are customers who want this model, then they can produce it and send it to those customers. This method may apply in a number of countries that have not yet received the electric variant.
Since its launch in 1979, the G-Class has been a mainstay in the SUV segment. Mercedes-Benz said that they still find old models that are still used, and this can prove the quality they have. Even quite old SUV models such as the G-Class are still one of the iconic SUVs on the global market.
