EQG Concept: Distinctive Design
While the overall shape remains unmistakably ‘G,’ the EQG showcases several electric vehicle-specific design changes. Notably, the illuminated blanked-off grille stands out for its unique look. Observant viewers will spot a sleek LED light running along the car’s profile, and the Maybach S-Class contributes its stylish alloys. The dual-tone silver and black paint scheme, along with a sleek roof rack featuring an LED light bar, add extra flair. At the rear, the spare wheel is replaced by a box for storing items and charging cables.
EQG Concept: Luxurious Interior
Inside the Mercedes-Benz EQG concept, the dashboard design closely resembles the standard G-Class SUV. The cabin, finished in an upscale light beige tone, exudes sophistication but might be prone to getting dirty. The dual integrated screens display EV-specific graphics, a feature shared with other electric Mercedes models.
