The Mercedes-Benz EQG—a forthcoming electric version of Mercedes’ G-Class off-roader due in 2024—could get a trick tank-turn feature to rival the Rivian R1T.

Mercedes teased what it calls the “G-Turn” in a video released Monday, showing a prototype of the electric SUV turning within its own length on dirt.

The automaker didn’t mention this feature when the EQG was unveiled in concept form last year, but did promise formidable off-road capability to match the current G-Class, boasting that the EQG concept would be able to tackle 100% grades in “suitable terrain.” The concept had a ladder frame and 2-speed gearbox for off-road gear reduction, similar to the gasoline G-Class.

The company also recently confirmed that the EQG will use an advanced silicon-anode battery chemistry to pack in more range without packaging sacrifices. It will be supplied by Mercedes-backed Sila, which plans to start manufacturing cells in Washington State mid-decade for a planned extended-range version of the EQG. Mercedes also plans to use this chemistry in other future models. 

The EQG concept, like the R1T, has a quad-motor powertrain, which likely enables the G-Turn feature. Rivian has patented an expanded set of special tricks enabled by its quad-motor layout.

The layout is expensive, though; at Rivian it led to higher prices—although, as the company recently notes, reservations for the quad-motor model only accelerated after the price hike. And with the current G-Class already positioned near the top of the Mercedes SUV range, customers likely won’t be deterred by high prices. Especially if the EQG delivers on the off-road capability of its gasoline predecessor.
