At a recent meeting with investors, Mercedes officials have officially confirmed the development of a compact G-Class. At the same time, the details of design, technical characteristics and the date of entering the market are still secret. Currently in the media appears 2026 as the most likely date of appearance.

Rumors indicate that the novelty will be equipped exclusively with an electric power plant. If this is confirmed, it will probably receive a platform related to the G-Wagen electric version. However, Mercedes has not yet provided official confirmation of this information.

New A way to design
