This demonstration likely aims to build anticipation and confidence in the electric G-Class among prospective buyers and enthusiasts.
The upcoming reveal of the electric G-Class in China was confirmed alongside Mercedes-Benz’s announcement of its sales performance for the first quarter of 2024. This reaffirms the brand’s focus on the Chinese market and its strategic alignment with global product launches.
Mercedes-Benz expressed enthusiasm for the forthcoming year, particularly highlighting the excitement surrounding the series of new product launches, including the highly anticipated debut of the electric G-Class at Auto China in Beijing. This reinforces the brand’s commitment to innovation and advancement in the luxury automotive segment.
In addition to the electric G-Class, Mercedes-Benz will introduce the new Mercedes-AMG GT 63 S E Performance Coupe at the 2024 Beijing auto show, further expanding its electrified portfolio and catering to performance-oriented customers.
