What reviewers say

Reviewers agree the G 580 still feels every inch a G-Class, quiet and luxurious on the road and even more capable off road than the combustion models. The common criticisms are its very high price and poor efficiency, especially on the motorway; Carwow also notes it can't tow and has a smaller boot than the regular G-Class.
