Video Summary
The EQC SUV's wheelbase is roughly 3.5 inches shorter, and the body is approximately 5 inches shorter than the EQC sedan.The exterior styling is clean and elegantly proportioned.
An illuminated section is between the two LED headlamps. The test model is fitted with the AMG line exterior package that includes a more aggressively styled front bumper and unique sills.
The paint color, Twilight Blue Metallic, is considered the best color that is available on the vehicle and is a no cost option
The tested vehicle has optional 21-inch AMG branded wheels, that seem reasonably priced
Retractable door handles contribute to a sleek look and slightly better aerodynamics.
The reviewer strongly dislikes the running boards because the EQC SUV sits so low and these streak pant legs with dirt.
The cargo space is generous, with a usable space of 14 cubic feet behind the second row seat. It also has a generously sized under-floor storage cubby. Folding the split second row seat extends the storage capacity to 55, or 59, cubic feet if it is loaded up to the roof.
The reviewer thinks the optional charger is not worth the price.
The reviewer loves the interior design. It is stylish, comfortable and well-built. The color combo is Sable Brown with Neva Gray rendered in MB Tex artificial leather. He loves the dashboard trim, calling it the best that he has seen in any car.
The Cabin Tech: is a beautiful 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster and 12.8-inch touch screen runs a super intuitive and responsive MBUX infotainment system.
The range is a "dislike", although the battery pack has a useful capacity of 90.6 kWh, the estimated range is 253 miles.
Regarding the performance: the tested all-wheel drive EQC SUV is good, with 288 hp and 564 lb-ft of torque, but seems a bit like a diesel in its output. It hits hard, then power drops off. It can hit 60 mph in 6.2 seconds. He mentions the 500 4MATIC and AMG version delivers a lot more for a price.
The rear is spacious with plenty of leg room and head room, and is overall refined. The standard suspension is "remarkably good." A ten degree rear axle steering is another plus.
Pricing is a potential "dislike". Base price starts at $79,000 but as tested it costs over $91,000, amenities like a heated steering wheel are not standard.
