Look up at the U8
After years of development, Mercedes-Benz G-class off-road vehicles have always inherited the classic "square box" shape, and also led the design trend of hard-core off-road vehicles. After the use of pure electric drive, the pure electric G-class G 580 may still be difficult to find a "matching" competitor, but in recent years, the domestic new energy hard SUV has developed rapidly, and the models that are also equipped with new energy power and have hard attributes include Yangwang U8, Mengshi 917 and so on. What do you think about the new energy transformation of the pure electric Mercedes-Benz G-Class and hard-core SUVs, and what are your expectations for the price of the car?
