The Mercedes-Benz EQC (N293) is a battery electric compact luxury crossover SUV produced by Mercedes-Benz since 2019.[7][8] It is the first member of the battery electric Mercedes EQ family.[9]
History
The EQC is based on the Generation EQ concept that was unveiled at the 2016 Paris Motor Show.[10] The final production version was revealed in Sweden on 4 September 2018,[11] and publicly debuted at the 2018 Paris Motor Show.[12][needs update]
Design
The EQC is based on the GLC and shares the same wheelbase dimensions.[13] It is a five-seater vehicle and has a trunk capacity of 500 litres (18 cu ft).[14]
The EQC400 4MATIC is powered by 2 asynchronous electric motors, fitted on the front and rear axles, and produces 300 kW (402 hp).[15] It has an electronically limited top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph).[16]
The 80 kWh battery pack has a modular design and consists of 384 lithium-ion cells.[17] It can be charged from 10 to 80 per cent in 40 minutes, via a DC fast charger.[18]
Steering wheel paddle shifters allow for the selection of varying levels of brake energy regeneration.[19]
