MERCEDES EQC FULL REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQC is presented as a compelling electric SUV option, sharing its platform with the GLC but offering a distinct electric identity. The reviewer highlights its strong performance, with a powerful acceleration that rivals the GLC 43 AMG, and praises its agile handling, feeling more dynamic than its weight suggests due to a low center of gravity. The interior is lauded for its high-class, sustainable materials and unique design elements, including touchable fins and diverse seating choices. However, the reviewer notes that the packaging, particularly trunk space and height, is less practical than expected, closer to a GLC Coupe than an SUV. Charging speeds, especially AC charging, are considered somewhat slow compared to competitors. Despite these drawbacks, the EQC is seen as a strong contender for traditional Mercedes customers, offering a comfortable ride with familiar Mercedes styling and a good overall driving experience, though its real-world range is estimated at around 350 km (220 miles) with an average consumption of 23 kWh/100km.
