The second engine which is located at the rear allows for dynamic driving capabilities and accelerations reminiscent of the performance of sports cars. The average electricity consumption is 19.7-20.8 kWh per 100 km.

The EQC allows fast charging from a capacity of 10% to 80% in 40 minutes, an additional 300 km drive. Full charge of the battery from 0% to 100% at a home charging station (Mode 3) takes approx. 11 hours. However, as part of the vehicle’s advanced technologies, you can choose from 5 driving modes that are integrated in the vehicle’s regeneration system and help with maximum utilization and further charging of the battery by braking.

In terms of convenience and entertainment, the EQC comes with two advanced 10.25-inch digital monitors that are in line with the manufacturer’s prestigious design line that connects to the power line that represents the EQ brand. One monitor serves as a dashboard and another monitor as Mercedes’ advanced MBUX entertainment system that allows full control of the vehicle through speech. In addition, the vehicle has a bright and easy-to-use (HUD) display that shows the driver the travel speed (in Electric Art and AMG line models), battery status, navigation and other options.

The interior of the vehicle combines atmospheric lighting with 64 shades depending on the driver’s choice.
