Mercedes EQC (2023) - The Most Luxury Midsize Electric SUV!

Thanks: Mercedes - Benz Yılmazlar

Mercedes-Benz EQC
Highs Plush cabin, refined handling, costs less than some competitors.
Lows Some rivals offer quicker acceleration, shorter driving range than some competing models, infotainment system's touchpad comes with a learning curve.
Verdict The EQC isn't the quickest pick in its class, but it's an excellent choice if you're looking for an electrified SUV that rates highly for comfort and luxury.

Overview
A growing number of carmakers offer electrified transportation, and Mercedes-Benz had planned to enter the fray with the EQC before pulling the plug on its electric SUV in early 2021. Mercedes-Benz was careful to say that the EQC could be introduced to the U.S. in the future, but for the time being it will remain an option only in overseas markets. The EQC would have been a compact SUV that offered seating for five. Its fully electric powertrain would have delivered quiet performance, along with the crisp acceleration that's part of the package with many luxury EVs. Its cabin looked appropriately deluxe, with high-gloss plastics, attractive textiles, and modern design. Overall, the EQC's blend of Mercedes-Benz opulence and eco-friendly electrification would have made it an attractive pick for green-minded luxury-SUV buyers.

What's New?
The Mercedes-Benz EQC was initially intended to be all new for the 2021 model year, but unfortunately that plan has changed and the German automaker has decided not to bring the EQC to market in the United States.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Progressive: $68,895
Premium: $73,265
Advanced: $77,615

The Mercedes-Benz EQC's Progressive trim would have come with enough standard features to keep most luxury-SUV buyers happy. All models come were going to offer a sunroof to let natural light into the cabin, and rain-sensing wipers to keep the windshield clear on stormy days. A power liftgate would also have been standard, along with LED headlights.

EV Motor, Power, and Performance
The EQC would have paired two electric motors with a lithium-ion battery. A one-speed direct-drive transmission was used to power to all four wheels. This powertrain would have provided a total output of 402 horsepower and 561 lb-ft of torque. We never had the chance to test the EQC, but Mercedes-Benz estimated that it would have made the sprint from zero to 60 mph in 4.8 seconds. That would have put it behind its key rival in this segment, the Tesla Model X. Tesla claims a zero-to-60-mph time of 4.4 seconds for the Long Range model and 2.7 seconds for the high-performance variant with Ludicrous mode engaged.

Range, Charging, and Battery Life
We expected the EQC would have delivered a driving range of 200 miles or less. That would have put it well behind the Tesla Model X, which can travel for more than 300 miles on a single charge. It's perhaps this shorter driving range that ultimately led to the decision to cancel the EQC for the United States.

Interior, Comfort, and Cargo
The EQC's cabin would have provided more outright luxury than buyers will find in rivals such as the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-Pace. The construction was solid, the execution was impeccable, and the quality of the materials used was above reproach. The high-quality cabin is yet another reason to be disappointed in the EQC's cancellation. Mercedes never disclosed final cargo capacity for this SUV. However, as a reference point, the GLC-class upon which the EQC would have been based provides about 19 cubic feet of cargo space behind its rear seats.

The Mercedes EQC all electric takes 11 hours to charge. It has a range of alittle over 250 miles. Cost? 128 thousand to 140thousand dollars. This is a ride for the rich. Now here's my car which is for the wise. I have a 2014 buick lacrosse hybrid. Not only is it in great condition but polished at all times. I get 403 miles per tank of gas and it takes me 7 minutes or less to fuel and that includes running in and grabbing a coffee. It cost me 16, 000 dollars and it's paid off. It rides smooth and great when trying to make time on a long distance travel. I dont have the time to sit 35m to 45 minutes yet alone 11 hours. At a price of 128thousand dollars, that's a pretty nice down payment on a house in my book. If America is so going ho on electric vehicles then why doesn't the United States of America build highspeed bullet trains which is also fast and fully electric? The Mercedes is overrated and just like any other car or suv which will eventually begin to fall apart due to age. Life is hard and money is hard to come by and inorder to survive in this difficult time, you must handle money with

Got one(premiumplus). Quality is second to none, comfy as hell, crazy performance, cheap as chips to run. Iffy range. Uk secondhand prices for these cars are idioticly low for what you get.

Hier sind einige Kommentare die ich absolut nicht nachvollziehen kann, es sind sicher Leute die keinen EQC fahren. Ich liebe jeden km mit meinem „Dicken“. Von der Massage über die Sitzbelüftung und Sitzheizung, die Beduftung des Innenraums, das Burmester Soundsystem usw. Er fährt sich super gut und die 408 PS sind einfach nur der Hammer. Bin zwar eher der gediegene Dahingleiter aber wenn es sein muss drückt einem der Benz ordentlich in die Sitze. Der gezeigten Version fehlt leider die Sitzbelüftung vorne und die elektrische Anhängerkupplung. Allen EQC Fahrern immer genügend Energie und gute Fahrt damit.

Why does Mercedes still use piano black material ???

[gavgav]

Look at The plastic on the middle console its scratched all over. Should be metal in my opinion. Beautiful car though.

[adriantatum]

They are going to have to drop the MSRP here in the United States: It's priced 𝙢𝙪𝙘𝙝 too close to the EQE.
