Mercedes-Benz G 580 versions and prices

Guide prices checked October 2026 and may already include the Electric Car Grant. Real-world range is EV Database's typical estimate; the official WLTP figure is higher. Always confirm the price with the seller.

Charging

The Mercedes-Benz G 580 can rapid charge at up to 200 kW. That peak only lasts part of a session: averaged from 10% to 80%, it is about 150 kW, about 34 minutes on a fast enough charger.

At home it accepts up to 11 kW on AC. On a typical 7 kW wallbox, a full charge from empty takes roughly 17 hours; most top-ups take far less. Its CCS plug is on the right side, rear. See charging times, smart EV tariffs and chargers near me.

Real-world range

For the Mercedes-Benz G 580, EV Database estimates these ranges. Cold means about −10°C with the heating on; mild means about 23°C; motorway means a steady 70 mph.

Heat pump: optional. One-stop motorway range with a 15-minute charge: about 245 miles. Try the range reality check or the range map for your own driving.

Running costs

At 10,000 miles a year, charging 80% at home on a smart tariff at 7.6p per kWh and 20% on rapid chargers at 79p, the Mercedes-Benz G 580 would use about 5,238 kWh and cost about £1,146 a year to charge (11.5p a mile). Vehicle tax: £10 in the first year, then £200 a year, plus the £440-a-year expensive car supplement in years 2 to 6 because its list price is over £50,000. From April 2028 the pay-per-mile charge (eVED) is due to add 3p a mile, about £300 a year at 10,000 miles.

Electric Car Grant

None of the versions in our list is on the Electric Car Grant list. The grant only covers eligible new pure electric cars priced at £37,000 or less. See the Electric Car Grant and EV tax.

Reliability scores come from the Warrantywise Reliability Index, which uses data from used cars, so many new models do not have a score yet. See the Mercedes-Benz page and the Index explained.
