The rugged-looking, all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQG has been spied once again in the snow ahead of its expected reveal in 2024.<\/p>\n

Our spy photographers were able to capture some interior images of this particular EQG prototype as the cover was left down while it was parked.<\/p>\n

Compared to the current, internal-combustion-powered G-Class<\/a>, this spied EQG prototype doesn\u2019t have the analogue clock near the front cupholders, has a revised climate control unit, new console controller, and new steering wheel with touch-sensitive buttons.<\/p>\n

A lot of these features seem to come from the updated A-Class<\/a>, and it\u2019s likely they will carry over to the facelifted G-Class that was spied early last year<\/a>.<\/p>\n

If you look really hard you can see the buttons in between the central air vents that toggle the low range, tank turn, and off-road turn assist functions. These buttons are for the locking differentials in the regular G-Class.<\/p>\n

On the outside this spied EQG prototype looks very similar to a number of previously-spied examples<\/a> with its closed-off grille and blue-and-black camouflage.<\/p>\n

This spied EQG has a typical spare tyre mounted on the tailgate instead of the outlandish square spare wheel cover that featured on the Concept EQG<\/a> from 2021.<\/p>\n

This isn\u2019t the first time we\u2019ve seen an EQG testing, as Mercedes-Benz gave us a ride-along in a prototype model<\/a> late last year.<\/p>\n

The EQG features an electric motor for each wheel with low range courtesy of a reduction gear system on the output shaft of each motor. No power or torque figures have been announced yet.<\/p>\n

It won\u2019t be based on Mercedes-Benz\u2019s new dedicated Electric Vehicle Architecture (EVA) and will instead use a version of the G-Class\u2019s traditional body-on-frame underpinnings, with multi-link independent front suspension and a live axle at the rear. It rides on steel springs with adaptive dampers.<\/p>\n

Mercedes-Benz also announced last year it\u2019s working on silicon-based battery technology<\/a> to be manufactured by US startup Sila Nanotechnologies from 2025. It will be optional in the EQG.<\/p>\n

The company\u2019s high-silicon anode material is claimed to have a 20 to 40 per cent increase in energy density compared to commercially available battery cells with a comparable format.<\/p>\n

The production version of the Mercedes-Benz EQG will be built alongside the combustion G-Class at partner Magna Steyr\u2019s plant in Graz, Austria.<\/p>\n

While the EQG is still at least 12 months away, a boxy, quad-motor electric SUV will soon reach production.<\/p>\n

The U8<\/a> from BYD\u2019s newly-revealed Yangwang brand will produce around 820kW of power, and features similarly bluff and boxy styling to the G-Class and Land Rover Defender<\/a>. It even has the tailgate-mounted spare wheel.<\/p>\n

Rivian is also introducing a quad-motor version of its R1S<\/a> SUV this year with 622kW of power and 1231Nm of torque. It\u2019ll be good for a 0-60mph (0-96km\/h) time of \u201cas quick as 3 seconds\u201d according to the company.<\/p>\n
