The G 580 EV retains its off-road prowess with features like 100% gradeability and a unique 360-degree turning capability. Priced at Rs 3 crore in India, it's already sold out until Q3 2025. With DC fast charging support up to 200 kW, it can charge from 10-80% in 32 minutes, making it a compelling option for luxury EV enthusiasts.
