In terms of styling, the Garia Golf car looks stellar and certainly something that could also make it to expansive private lawns. The front grille design has been inspired by a golf ball and is flanked by LED headlamps, along with a curved windshield, carbon-fibre roof and five-spoke alloy wheels. You also get a carbon fibre diffuser, rear spoiler and the most needed of all - an angled golf bag holder, for easy access to your choice of clubs.

Propulsion on the Mercedes golf cart comes from an electric motor that produces up to 14hp and is powered by a lithium-ion battery that allows for a top speed of 30 km/h and a range of 80 km.
