Pros

What works in its favour

Best for buyers who want a genuine off-roader with the G-Class badge and none of the engine noise, and for whom the price and the 3-tonne kerb weight are not the point.

  • Buyers who want the electric G-Wagen in India — four individually controlled motors making 579 bhp and 1,164 Nm
  • Owners who use the off-road hardware — G-Turn spins the car on its axis and G-Steering pivots it around an inner wheel
  • Long-distance luxury use — a 116 kWh battery with a 473 km claimed range and 200 kW DC charging (10-80% in about 32 minutes)

Cons

What to watch before you buy

  • At about ₹3.10 crore ex-showroom as a CBU import, this is one of the most expensive electric SUVs on sale in India.
  • It weighs 3,085 kg kerb, so real-world range and tyre and brake wear will be well behind a lighter electric SUV.
  • AC charging is capped at 11 kW, which means about 11 hours 42 minutes for a 0-100% home charge.
