MERCEDES EQC 2020 REVIEW - IS IT A TESLA MODEL X BEATER?

EV Channels Review

The Mercedes EQC marks Mercedes' significant entry into the all-electric vehicle market, and it largely succeeds as a comfortable and technologically advanced SUV. The reviewer highlights the premium interior quality, which is noted as being superior to the Tesla Model X, and praises the spacious and comfortable cabin, particularly the rear seating. While the car offers a respectable 408hp and a 0-60mph time of 5.1 seconds, its real-world range efficiency is a concern, with the reviewer struggling to achieve the claimed figures due to driving style and cold weather impacting charging speeds. The car's driving dynamics are described as pleasant but not particularly engaging compared to sportier alternatives. The reviewer concludes that while it took Mercedes a long time to release an EV, the EQC is a well-executed product offering decent range when driven sensibly, ample technology, and a refined driving experience, making it a strong contender in the premium electric SUV segment.
