FIRST ALL-ELECTRIC MERCEDES EQC REVIEW EXTERIOR INTERIOR AMG-LINE VS ELECTRIC ART COMPARISON

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQC marks a significant step for the brand into the all-electric segment, offering a blend of familiar luxury and new electric technology. The review highlights two distinct styling options: the 'Electric Art' for a more overt electric aesthetic and the 'AMG Line' for a sportier, more conventional look, with the latter being favored for its more aggressive stance. Interior quality is praised, with a dual-screen setup and new sustainable materials, though it shares many elements with the GLC, making it feel familiar. Performance is strong, with 408 horsepower and a 0-100 km/h time of 5.1 seconds. However, the reviewer expresses skepticism about the claimed 450 km range, estimating a more realistic 400 km (around 250 miles). The towing capacity of 1.8 tons is noted as a positive for the electric vehicle market. Charging is capable of up to 110 kW DC, achieving 0-80% in about 40 minutes, though home charging is emphasized for daily use. The reviewer concludes that while not a revolution, the EQC offers a well-executed, premium electric SUV experience with good practicality, though a larger battery and more range would have been beneficial.
