The Mercedes Baby-G EQ has finally shown its face sort of. Fresh spy shots out of Stuttgart reveal a heavily camouflaged prototype, but the silhouette is unmistakable. Mercedes-Benz is clearly shrinking the G-Class, not softening it. This electric SUV channels the boxy DNA of its iconic sibling but in a more compact, city-friendly shape.
Mercedes Baby-G EQ sticks to classic G-Class styling
Despite the camouflage, a few signature elements punch through. The squared-off body, side-opening tailgate, and exposed spare tire all scream G-Class. Even the circular daytime running lights tucked into deep front recesses mirror the full-size model’s design.
Details spotted on the prototype include:
- Roof rails and defined wheel arches
- Three-panel side windows on both sides
- Bow-shaped door handles
- Compact rear lights and a rear license plate recess
From roofline to stance, this electric SUV looks ready for trails and tight parking spots alike.

Mercedes Baby-G EQ may target younger drivers
While it wears its heritage proudly, the Baby-G EQ doesn’t feel dated. There’s a modern edge to the design, hinting at Mercedes’ intent to widen its reach. By downsizing the G-Class and pairing it with an electric drivetrain, the company could be angling for a younger, more urban buyer.
The compact size, likely paired with all-wheel drive and G-Class capability, could make it a hit among drivers who want the look without the bulk. And while no interior photos have surfaced, expect Mercedes to load it with tech to match its EQ lineup.
A fresh face in the electric off-roader crowd
The Baby-G EQ may be small, but it’s stepping into big shoes. The G-Class name carries weight and this prototype suggests Mercedes plans to carry that weight with confidence. If this is a teaser for what’s to come, it’s one worth watching. The box may be smaller, but the attitude is still full-size.
