Mercedes is the first to acknowledge that the G500 Gelandewagen can't continue unchanged forever. They tried to move the buying public away from the 33 year old vehicle with the GL and GLK. Neither proved attractive to the true off-road enthusiast.
So Mercedes commissioned a concept vehicle that shows what a Gelandewagen might look like in 2025 (barely 12 years from now.) The Ener-G-Force is the result. This concept vehicle will be shown at the LA Auto Show in two weeks.
Those 20 inch rims are not for show. They make room for an electric motor at each wheel. The electricity is generated by a hydrogen fuel cell. It's a concept vehicle, remember?
