2021 Mercedes Benz EQC review | Australia

Mercedes-Benz released its first fully electric car to Australia the 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 and Simone gives it a full review.

It’s called the Mercedes Benz EQC and it’s an SUV and it’s a proper luxury electric vehicle. It is usually pitted against the Model X, much like any electric car would be pitted against a corresponding Tesla model, but The EQC is still very different and it doesn’t try to follow Model X in all aspects.

But instead, Mercedes chose to make a car at their own pace and level, which means it is better than the Model X in some aspects and needs to catch up in some others.

Two electric motors power the EQC, adding up to the total of 300 kW of power and mountain-moving 760 Nm of torque. This electric SUV reaches 100 in a notch above 5 seconds. The official range stands at 434 km. In reality, the driving conditions and style play a really big role, even bigger than on some other EVs we drove, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a really careful drive actually delivered more than that.

The manufacturer’s recommended retail price is at almost $140k and it includes GST, but not on-roads. In most other respects, the EQC is a proper Mercedes-Benz vehicle. Now we look forward to reviewing the EQA.

[snuggles]

That was a really interesting video, thank you very much

They knocked it out of the park says this Mercedes lover. Fabulous!

A very good electric car if you drive within the Adelaide Brissy Melb Sidenee triangle (well, roughly). But a real alexander if you seek to drive one in WA, the NT, FNQ or Tassie.

I loved that segment. I am actually starting to love cars watching these. A bit much for my price tag though 🤔

In France we have a saying "en voiture Simone !" meaning, "Get in the car Simone ! "as back in 1929 in France, Simone Louise des Forest was, at the age of 19, the first woman to get her driving license. Since then this expression is used !

With options price can move up to $180000

Wow that looks awesome in all black. The Colour blocked Front looks horrible and shows off it's fake grill. This at least minimizes it's appearance.

I’m enjoying driving a recently purchased EQC 1886 with 28K miles. Anyone else out there with a higher mileage car and willing to comment on ownership experience including reliability?

Nice review no need for annoying music when your talking just makes it too confusing and annoying I wanna focus on the car and what you say not music and music is very distracting

Why would i pay good money to only worry about range, i'll pass. will reconsider in 2025

The background music is too loud. Get Audacity. Drag file in. ctrl+A. Effect > Amplify > "insert negative number like -2.0" File > Export.

No 3-phase charging is a real poor omission.

Nice Dressing 👍 Looking Gorgeous in ORANGE

NO WAY it can match the range of Tesla Model X. With 90% charging and use, battery degradation after few years, Air conditioning, night driving, the range is further reduced in all practical sense. 400km claimed will possibly equal to 275km to 300km range in use.

So one needs at least 500km to 600km claimed range to be of any practical use, specially for distances in Australia.

They pronounce CarTell as “Mexican Cartel”.

[Mrpint]

I can imagine this has terrible torque steer?
