After yesterday’s presentation of the Mercedes-Benz CLA Concept, the German automaker could soon launch a smaller version of the G-Class. This news was confirmed by the CEO of Mercedes-Benz Ola Kallenius.

During Kallenius’ speech about the upcoming smaller SUV, a teaser of the future, new G-Class was shown in the background. He confirmed that the new G-Class will be fully electric and that the development of this model is not an easy task, especially due to the fact that the expectations are high and that the company fully understands how much responsibility it has. He also added that the car will be easily recognizable and equally fun to drive on all terrains.

At the beginning of the year, there were rumors about this model, which have now been confirmed by the CEO of Mercedes-Benz. At that time, the German business newspaper Handelsblatt wrote about the arrival of the new G-Class on the market in the next three years. However, Mercedes has not confirmed when the car will be unveiled.

Although there is not enough information for now, it is assumed that the car will be developed on the MMA platform, which is not exclusively developed for electric cars, but can also be used for cars powered by internal combustion engines.
