Engine, Performance and Economy

First thing's first. There is no engine. This is after-all a fully electric vehicle. Energy is provided by an 80kWh battery which powers the motors. Total power output however is impressive, with 300 kW available, which is 480hp. Torque is also great with 765 Nm available. This translates to excellent performance, and although the EQC is a sizable SUV 0-62mph is completed in just 5.1 seconds.

Provisional data suggests the EQC will be able to cover around 280 miles on a full charge. A compact electric drivetrain features on each axle of the EQC, giving the feeling of a 4-wheel drive vehicle. Drive modes include COMFORT, ECO, SPORT, INDIVIDUAL and MAX RANGE. These of course ensure the EQC can be both enjoyable and relaxing when required. Charge time is quick and easy too via the use of a Mercedes-Benz Wallbox or a public charging station.

Safety and Convenience

Exemplary safety features heavily on this cutting-edge Mercedes-Benz EQC SUV. For example, a new tailback management function is available, as part of the optional Driving Assistance Package where the vehicle's speed is reduced if a tailback is detected ahead.
