The new crossover SUV is the first Mercedes-Benz vehicle to be launched under the new EQ brand. Its two electric motors at the front and rear axles have a combined output of 300kW. A sophisticated operating strategy enables an electric range of more than 450km.

As it happened: World premiere of Mercedes-Benz EQC - radical all-electric SUV
In the EQC the power packs are isolated by rubber mounts at two points. Mercedes-Benz said: "This effective isolation is supplemented with insulation measures. As a result, the interior of the EQC is extremely quiet."
An 80kWh lithium-ion battery supplies the vehicle with power. The power consumption and range of electric vehicles depend very much on the driving style. The EQC supports its driver with five driving programs, each with different characteristics: Comfort, Eco, Max range, Sport and an individually adaptable program.
Battery recuperation can be adjusted as the customer requires, using gearshift paddles behind the steering wheel. In “D Auto” mode, the EQC can also adapt recuperation according to the situation with the aid of ECO Assist.
