Toronto, Ontario — Mercedes-Benz Canada is making a grand return to the 2025 Canadian International AutoShow, marking its first appearance at the show in five years. It will be an unforgettable return with the brand’s presence evident throughout the show in various displays and immersive guest experiences. One highlight of Mercedes-Benz’s presence at the 2025 AutoShow is the Canadian premiere of the G 580 with EQ Technology, the first fully-electric variant of the iconic Geländewagen (G-Wagen).
 
“We are excited to welcome back fan-favourite Mercedes-Benz to the show after five years,” says Jason Campbell, General Manager of the AutoShow. “AutoShow attendees will be among some of the first to see the G 580 with EQ Technology, offering a unique firsthand experience with this groundbreaking vehicle.”
