No further information was given regarding powertrains, looks, or even a release date. There have been reports going around that the baby G-Wagen will be powered exclusively by an electric powertrain, but Mercedes has yet to confirm that. If that does come to pass, it could use a platform that is somehow related to the current electric G-Wagen.

If the Little G does turn out to be an EV, don’t expect it to look all that different from the standard G-Wagen. In the same press release, Mercedes announced plans to alter its current design language strategy and give all of its battery-powered models a much-needed makeover.

Perhaps more exciting than the baby G is that Mercedes also plans to make future EVs and combustion cars share a design language.

Mercedes-Benz has once and for all confirmed that a smaller, more affordable G-Class is on the way. The carmaker revealed the news in a lengthy release tied to its latest presentation to investors, in which it detailed the brand’s future — and also committed to a design language overhaul that will do away with the current split in appearance between its ICE and electric vehicles.
