01:51 G-STEERING in electric Mercedes G580 EQ can significantly reduce the turning circle of the all-new electric G-Class when driving off-road or on loose surfaces. This is achieved through targeted control of the drive torque at the individual driven wheels, with the vehicle turning around the inside rear wheel. The function can thus eliminate the need for multi-point turns in certain situations – for example in bends or other tight spaces. Drivers can activate G-STEERING by pressing the corresponding button on the off-road control unit when the "D" transmission setting is engaged, the "Rock" drive programme is selected and LOW RANGE off-road gear reduction is switched on. This function is active up to a speed of 25 km/h.

03:24 With the G-TURN, drivers can turn the all-new electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class almost on the spot. The vehicle performs up to two complete vehicle turns in the desired direction on unpaved or loose surfaces. This not only looks spectacular but can also be helpful when driving off-road – for example, if an obstacle ahead makes it impossible to continue forward. The four independently driven wheels can rotate the vehicle to the left or right as required. To do this, the wheels on the right and left sides of the vehicle turn in opposite directions.
