Depends on who you talk to. Could be identical or could be hybrid.

All electric is EQG and not until 2024 I think. It is supposed to be added and not replace a model at least initially.

To be helpful - frankly there are at least 3-poster's here - that if there are here in the US that - best case their Dealer salesperson is a absolute Idiots - or worst case their Dealer is outright talking b*ll****.

No not true, they’re just not producing the V8 for ‘22 but it will return for the ‘23 model year. It’s all due to a new fuel system that wouldn’t pass emissions.

Well - frankly - we will see - "they’re just not producing the V8 for ‘22 but it will return for the ‘23 model year. It’s all due to a new fuel system that wouldn’t pass emissions."

I get that comment (without reference) - forum members here might ask themselves - "the 2022 S580 is shipping" - "and the 2022 SL is scheduled for production/release" - which BOTH have the 4L V8.

Makes it a Bit-Fuzzier - doesn't it ?

Agreed! something doesn't add up here. I strongly believe that there will be a Hybrid option next year. MB is trying to generate environmental credits by adding more EV to its fleet and maybe limited on how many v8s they can produce world-wide due to regulations.

Also, there is a good percentage of Gwagons sold to exporters who flip them outside the US. MB doesn't like this practice and they even made me sign an agreement saying I couldn't sell my G63 overseas for at least a year. This has created a grey market in where US buyers can easily turn around a make a profit on their Gwagons.

I saw this article today of spy shots of a new Gwagon in the works. Could this be the Hybrid?
