Mercedes EQC 400 Electric SUV in-depth review and opinion from a Tesla owner. 4x4 EV v the rest

#mercedes #eqc

After years of Tesla ownership, how do I rate the Mercedes EQV ?

This is the AMG trim in black with 21” wheels and black interior featuring an 80KwH battery and all wheel drive.

What is it like inside, how much space in there and how does it drive?

Coming soon we will also compare it to the Jaguar iPace, Audi Etron Quattro and Tesla Model X side by side, stay subscribed!

I found your channel via the Tesla vs Audi range race with Mat, and I have to say that I love your on screen demeanour. You've got good things coming your way on YouTube, especially as EVs are making some strides in the ever growing market. Good luck.

Thanks for the review I've had my EQC for 6 months now and I'm really enjoying it. There's a depth to the vehicle and I actually like its more traditional approach. The refinement is outstanding. I think MB were very conservative with the battery management on the EQC as the gross capacity is over 93kWh with 80kWh usable resulting in large buffers and relatively flat charging speeds. In terms of cargo space, we have a small greyhound and she's very happy in the back!

Nice to mention Bjørn's channel. I am subscribed to both yours and his and you complement each other quite nicely!

Great in depth review - although this vehicle is the AMG Line version, it's definitely not standard spec. The wheels, sunroof, sound system, 360 camera, augmented display are Premium pack and above options.

I have an EQC in white and would love it dechroming!!! Can always feature the car if you need it for more video ideas too!

I drove this at its introduction in 2020. The Mercedes experience is what it is. They know how to sell cars. They also know how to build cars. And the ECQ is a great car in its lineup. However, it was presented in between a GLC43 and GLC63, because that's where it sits in terms of price. And to be honest, when you spend this kind of money and when you're shopping in AMG territory, you'd go for a GLC63. It's just more special. I felt exactly the same when I attended an experience day at Audi and drove the eTron 55. Another driver rocked up in his SQ8 and neither him or I were interested in the electric version, especially given the sticker price being identical. When I bought my Model S in 2016, it just felt special, it still does and still impresses anyone stepping into it. Does that make me a Tesla fanboy, probably... But I am as excited about the Ioniq 5 and EV6, which will have a greater impact than the iPace, eTron 55 and EQC. On a side note. The interior of the EQC looks great, however doesn't feel great, it''s a dust collector in the many grills and when I stepped in my mate's EQC again 18 months later, it felt dated. Even he feels that way. And is looking at the eTron GT.

Had my EQC for 2 months now and I agree with most if not all of what you say. There are some annoying details of which you touched on one, the black piano lack. Another one is the decor stripes that goes from the doors all around the windshield. When the sun shines the reflexion from these makes you think you have a longitudnal crack in the windshield. Otherwise I am very happy with my EQC. Thanks for another of your excellent videos!

Hooks on the handles of the back are for light object, e.g. clothing like a jacket. (see instruction manual of the EQC). This was a translation from the Dutch version of the manual.

Really enjoyed this review. Ive subscribed and I intend to buy a EQC in April of this year. Albeit a used one.

[steveearley]

Excellent review thanks. Could do with toning down the music and loudness of it though ...

[michaelcarney]

Really love the look of the EQC I'd probably have one on looks alone if I could afford one.

[tomattime]

A much better looking vehicle than some of their other SUV's. Frony and sides look good, but the rear Bladish.

Anyway, thanks for another great episode.

Thank you for your honest review. You are a Tesla fan but your judgement is non biased

[crisholmurb]

Great review as usual - but wish you could let us know just a bit more about the pros and cons of the cars. For sure you know about them with your vast experience. Looking forward to more great episodes in the future.

Nice but I prefer my Model 3. I also couldn’t deal with detailing those wheels! 🤣

[AllenHart]

Amazing video as always. Thanks so much for doing these Videos.

After my M3LR, it’s looks horribly messy inside. Charging availability aside, it’s probably good for a largish family and with MB network, plenty of service centres. The one I looked in had a very odd odour which I couldn’t put up with.

The lateral step (the thing to help you either get in or see above the car) should stay whitish, otherwise one might not see it at night.

This car looks so nice in black. No need to black out for the sport look bc it looks classy. And i hate chrome ha

'Power Nap' - exactly the setting you need whilst driving :)
