NEW BENZ EV! MERCEDES EQT PREMIERE REVIEW WITH MARCO POLO CAMPING AND BRABUS INSIDE

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQT, presented here in its Marco Polo camper configuration, is reviewed as a compact electric van primarily suited for urban use or short-distance travel, with a modest estimated range of around 250 km (150 miles) and a peak DC charging rate of 80 kW. The reviewer highlights its practicality as a people carrier, especially for families, with easy access via sliding doors and flexible seating. The Marco Polo module, developed in collaboration with Brabus, offers a functional camping setup with a stove, fridge, sink, and sleeping accommodations for up to four people across two beds. While the interior design is praised for its quality and thoughtful features like the MBUX infotainment and manual climate controls, the rear seating legroom is noted as limited for taller adults, though headroom is adequate. The reviewer finds the charging speed and overall range insufficient for long-distance journeys, positioning the EQT more as a secondary vehicle or a niche camper for specific use cases.
