What the Rivian R1T can do, the electric G-Class from Mercedes can too. A video shows the EQG turning on the spot, the so-called tank turn. Mercedes calls it “G-Turn”.

- With the help of four electric motors, the upcoming Mercedes EQG is capable of impressive driving manoeuvres.
- A video now shows the electric car doing the so-called tank turn. Mercedes calls it the “G-Turn”.
- The EQG turns on the spot like a tank with caterpillar drive.
Turning in three moves is a thing of the past – completely different tricks are possible in the world of electric off-roaders. Like the Rivian R1T, the all-electric Mercedes EQG can turn on the spot, as you can see in the video below.
It is not without reason that the German car manufacturer chose sand as the substrate for this trick. Because for the tank turn, or rather the G-turn, it is necessary or more material-friendly if the wheels do not lock. The everyday use is rather small. Or do you already see yourself turning on the spot in the city center?

Mercedes announced the EQG at last year’s IAA with a rather strange but definitely worth seeing video. The off-road vehicle is still in the concept phase. Series production is scheduled to start in 2024.
