The iconic Mercedes-Benz Gelandewagen can go anywhere, climb anything, and still luxuriate you with the finest details and the latest technology. It remains one of the truest luxury off-road-capable SUVs built for purpose.  

Today’s G 550 continues this tradition. It retains a lot of the design that has taken many people worldwide away from the highway. The upright body and high ground clearance signify its presence anywhere it goes. As a purveyor of the finest things in life, the DuPont Registry had a chance to put the 2025 G 550 through its paces.

A Very Rare Special Edition 

With only 460 being produced, the W 460 generation G 550 Stronger Than The 1980s Edition is a real-life version of the show car that was developed to commemorate the 500,000th G-Class built in 2023. Both the show car and the Stronger Than The 1980s Edition are modeled after a 1986 280 GE and…

The Mercedes-Benz G 580 with EQ Technology, otherwise referred to as the G-Class EV, offers customers world-class luxury and ruggedness with the benefit of being purely electric. In a comparison test by Edmunds.com, the G 580 was pitted against its main rival, the GMC Hummer EV, in a battle of on- and off-road usability at the Hungry Valley OHV in the California desert.  

How the G 580 Gets Around 

Powering the G 580 with EQ Technology is a 116-kWh liquid-cooled lithium-ion battery pack powering dual motors that combined deliver 579 horsepower and 859 lb-ft of torque.

The Mercedes-Benz G-Class is an icon. It is the most aspirational vehicle ever created, sporting optimal agility and capability that goes beyond measure.   

However, one may be surprised that it now comes in a battery-electric version. The G 580 with EQ Technology replaces its famed internal combustion driveline for a fully electric system. This system is fed by a 116-kilowatt-hour battery pack, fueling a drive system that puts down 579 horsepower and 859 pound-feet of torque. Plus, there is an electric motor at each wheel.

The Mercedes-Benz GLE comes from a lineage that began 28 years ago, showing that Mercedes-Benz can produce a family-friendly SUV. The tradition continues with the 2025 GLE 450e 4MATIC,® the plug-in hybrid version of Mercedes-Benz's most sophisticated and luxurious mid-size SUV. 

With every GLE now electrified, the GLE 450e 4MATIC® adds a plug-in element that enables more driving without the use of gasoline. Powering this system is a combination of a 2.0-liter turbocharged four-cylinder internal combustion engine and a permanently excited synchronous electric motor.

Nearly every global automaker offers vehicles with all- or four-wheel drive, but those systems aren’t created equally across the board. Some have more advanced tech features and more robust terrain-conquering capabilities, which is why we’re here today to talk about Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system. Paired with beefy vehicles like the G-Class and GLE-Class, the system offers near-unbeatable off-road performance while maintaining the luxurious ride quality and handling Mercedes buyers expect.
