Exterior Look
Talking about the exterior, there is no major change in its body structure, but the styling seems to match the Mercedes’s EQ electric line-up. Like the illuminated trim elements, and the starlight pattern on the solid black panel that replaces the front grille. And in the back, instead of the space wheel, there is a square storage box that is also illuminating and holds a charging cable in it. But there may be some changes in the final production model.
The EQG is built on a modified ladder-frame chassis used in the Combustion engine G-Class. Although most electric SUVs have a trunk (front trunk) for extra storage space. There is no such thing in front of this SUV.
Battery
The new drivetrain will have a battery mounted with a floor that will be under the seats. With the Capacity of 100kW. It has also been kept in mind that the battery will be safe while extreme off-roading conditions. for which it has got a steel and carbon fiber casing. So that it can be protected from rocks and strikes.
