Who it suits

Buyers who want the limited launch version of the electric G-Class. It has the same four motors, 432 kW, 116 kWh battery, 473 km claimed range (about 330 km at highway speed) and 200 kW DC charging as the standard G580.

Who should look elsewhere

Value-focused buyers. It costs about R830 000 more than the AMG Line for the same drivetrain, and it uses about 29 kWh per 100 km. We have not found the boot size or battery warranty.
