Auto Buyers Guide gave the Mercedes-Benz G580 a positive 64/100 OctaneScore, praising it as "the newest and coolest version of the Mercedes-Benz G Wagon" and "a shocking amount of fun given its size, curb weight, and off-road mission." The standout strengths are its cabin technology (89/100)—featuring rock crawl mode with individual motor power distribution displays—and design (82/100), which maintains classic G Wagon styling while incorporating advanced electric capability including four independent wheel motors delivering 579 horsepower and low ratio mode. The major caveat is economy (20/100): at nearly 7,000 lbs, real-world range tops out around 200 miles, with only 140-150 miles usable on road trips, and the $178,450 price tag sits at the premium end of the market. This is a vehicle for wealthy enthusiasts who value off-road engineering and iconic design over practical range and fuel efficiency.
