Mercedes-Benz EQC Electric SUV-Overview:

Mercedes-Benz has launched the EQC electric SUV with a price tag of Rs. 99.30 lakhs (ex-showroom, India) and by doing so has become the first to launch a luxury EV in the country. The car will only be available in 13 showrooms present at six metros – Bengaluru, Chennai, Delhi, Hyderabad, Mumbai and Pune – initially. Other big cities will be covered soon.

With every automaker switching to the greener side, it’s Mercedes-Benz which revealed its first all-electric SUV called EQC. The EQC is heavily based on the GLC which is a five-seater SUV. The design is drawn from the EQ Concept first shown in 2016. When launched it will go against the Tesla Model X, Mercedes-Benz EQC and Audi E-Tron Quattro.

Mercedes-Benz EQC Electric SUV-Specifications:

With dimensions somewhere between a GLC and GLE, it offers mid-range space and practicality, but with a 408hp electric motor and a claimed range of up to 471km from its 80kWh battery, The EQC produces a combined output of 408hp and 765Nm of torque. It’ll do a WLTP-certified 400km on a single charge, with energy being stored in a floor-mounted 80kWh lithium-ion battery pack. Charging times vary depending on the electrical supply, with a full charge from a standard 15A (3.4kW) domestic socket taking 21 hours, or 10 hours with the 7.5kW wall-box charger provided by Mercedes. On the other hand, 50kW DC fast charger can juice up battery from 10-100% in just 90 minutes.

Mercedes-Benz EQC Electric SUV-Design:

Exterior

As said earlier, while the Mercedes-Benz EQC new model shares its underpinnings with the GLC, it has been reworked to appeal as a completely different product. While this may give you an idea about its size, the rest is a completely different story. So much so, the EQC looks unlike any other vehicle we’ve seen from the carmaker. Be it the piano black inserts at the front, signature LED lights up front, 20-inch alloys with blue detailing, or the clean rear end, the EQC looks contemporary and sophisticated.

Interior

The cabin is normal Mercedes, except for some progressive-looking rubberised fabric stuff on the dash and seats (recycled, natch). The colours are livelier too, with signature copper vents and so on. The front seats are high up enough to satisfy the SUV thing. But the back ones suffer versus rival EVs because the wheelbase is comparatively short. And the centre tunnel remains, despite the prop shaft and exhaust having been evicted. The boot’s not bad but again, unlike rivals, there’s nofrunk.
