REVIEW: Electric Mercedes G goes where other 4x4s can't

Описание: The Mercedes-Benz G580 with EQ Technology - the electric G-Wagen to you and me - is here. And it can do amazing things off-road.

It has some four electric motors producing a total of 579bhp and 850lb ft, and they can spin completely independently of each other, so can turn the G on a sixpence (or a dime, as you prefer) and give the G amazing party tricks.

But what does that mean for the car's practical off-road ability? And what's the biggest, heaviest G-Class ever like on the road as a result, too?

Join Matt Prior as we take the G580 on a Scottish road trip to get fully under its skin.
