Mercedes calls the sound 'G-ROAR,' because that is just what German car brands do.

EVs are here to stay, but car companies are split on whether or not those electric cars should abandon the sounds that followed internal combustion cars for the past century. Cars like the Dodge Charger Daytona and Hyundai Ioniq 5 N have led the way in a trend to emulate engine sounds in electric cars, and in an unlikely twist, Mercedes has joined the fight with its G-Wagen EV, officially known as the G 580 with EQ Technology.

' That is of course customizable by drive mode, from a sound that is 'rather restrained' in comfort to a 'powerful and emotional' sport setting. Unlike the ICE-like noises emitted from the Ioniq 5 N and the outrageous fake exhaust system installed on the Charger Daytona, the actual sound does not seem to be particularly loud from outside the car.
