Say hello to the new Mercedes-Benz EQC, the first all-electric model from Mercedes-Benz. Introduced last year in Stockholm, the EQC is the first EQ model in the Mercedes-Benz lineup.
A highly evolved electric luxury SUV.
The EQC has a modern look and the distinctive visual signature of all Mercedes-Benz vehicles. Its thin front and rear LED lights make the new Mercedes-Benz electric SUV unique and immediately recognizable. Its imposing grille gives it muscle and presence.
The cabin incorporates the two imposing screens of the new Mercedes-Benz E-Class, S-Class, and A-Class, but the whole design is more rounded and contemporary-looking. In addition to its many safety and connectivity technologies, the Mercedes-Benz EQC includes the Mercedes-Benz User Experience multimedia system.
This system is one of the most advanced infotainment systems in the world. It offers a particularly advanced voice interaction interface that makes it possible to have a conversation with your car using the voice command “Hey, Mercedes.”
In doing so, you’ll be able to adjust a variety of functions. For example, if you find that it is too hot in the car, simply say "Hey, Mercedes, it's hot" and you’ll activate the air conditioner.
More than 300 kilometres of range with the Mercedes-Benz EQC.
The EQC will be powered by two electric motors, each positioned on one of the axles. It's an all-wheel-drive SUV with 408 horsepower and an impressive 564 lb-ft of torque that allows the EQC to reach 100 km/h in approximately 5.0 seconds.
Its performance is similar to the Tesla Model X and the Jaguar I-Pace. The EQC, however, is expected to be more affordable than these two models.
An 80 kWh lithium-ion battery powers both electric motors. It takes between seven to eight hours to recharge with a 240-volt outlet, but it is also possible to recharge the EQC to 80% in 40 minutes with a quick-charge DC Fast Charger plug.
The announced range is 450 kilometres on the European cycle, which should translate into about 320 kilometres in North America. In other words, the new Mercedes-Benz EQC has all the range buyers will need for their journey.
