Who it suits

Buyers who want the iconic G-Class as an electric off-roader. It has four motors, 432 kW, all-wheel drive, a 116 kWh battery, 473 km claimed (about 330 km at highway speed) and DC charging up to 200 kW.

Who should look elsewhere

Anyone watching range or running costs. It uses about 29 kWh per 100 km, which is high, and at around R3.8 million it is a very expensive purchase. We have not found the boot size or battery warranty.
