I simply do not understand how you pump out so much content. You are an absolute machine!
He's German
I agree, Thomas and Brian are the best ...
Thanks pls recommend 🤘
German efficiency!
I don't think a car needs to "look electric". A car just needs to look good whatever it is. And this does.
SDav21 exactly.
they didn't even put an interior in the model 3
But why does this thing need to have a radiator "look"? What is that for? Why look like every ICE SUV? This comes out 8 years after the Model X and gets less range? Please. ps: I know they all do it, the I Pace, the Audi, and the MB all have "radiators". Again, why?
@@dzerres If they didn't all cars would look identical. The grille is part of the design. Most of it is closed anyway. It doesn't matter.
@@SDav21 It matters a lot for the power consumption. A low drag coefficient is the best way to increase range on BEVs.
Model X standard range: drag coefficient 0,24, battery size 75 kWh, WLTP range 375 km
EQC: drag coefficient 0.29, battery size 80 kWh, WLTP range 360 km
The Model X is a lot faster, bigger, heavier and has a longer range with a smaller battery.
Interesting consumption detail: The highest consumption including the 0-100 km/h acceleration was 33 kWh/100 km. The lowest consumption after reset and setting cruise control was 14 kWh/100 km. The average of min. and max. figure is 23,5 kWh/100 km which is indeed the figure we also had after driving the car for a very long time. Funny, isn’t it? Shows again that using average between the extremes is a pretty strong means =)
Audi etron, Tesla model X and Jaguar iPace manage to have a frunk while MB eqs has jone!
Sorry I meant no frunk whatsoever.
Autogefühl what is the available battery capacity? I suppose less than the total capacity of 80 kWh.
It looks like Mercedes 80 kWh IS the usable capacity. Audis 95 kWh capacity is 83.6 kWh usable. According to electrek.co/2019/05/17/mercedes-benz-eqc-review-electric-suv-first-drive/ and others.
Really confusing...
Going forward could you just use wh/km or wh/mi instead of kWh per 100km?
Drove the EQC 1886 AMG model this week on a test drive. Interior driving displays were clear and impressive. Rear leg room lower than I expected when front seats in driving position. Boot base is high (interior boot height of 650mm won't get a medium size dog inside). Feels a big car, with large roof pillars. Wife liked it. Easy and comfortable to drive. Plenty of power, and sure footed. Jaguar I-Pace and Audi E-tron test drives next.
David, I'm interested to hear what your take was on those 3 test drives!
What was your take after tested all of them and still satisfied with your choose ?
The AMG line looks especially cool. A great job by the designers, in my opinion
Yea give thanks to Mercedes
@@ebrimakaliloujabang2271 Really? Thank God else he would've thanked Hyundai for that.
it looks way better in sliver, I really don't like the black one, especially the front
agreed, the black one already looks dated, especially from the front and side.
A black AMG would be prettier, in my opinion! Btw AMGs look better!
Black is the best one, it shines in the Sun and it makes you feel like a Bad Boy. Black cars for some reason people do not like to tailgate them.
AMG Line doesn't look too bad.. thanks for the review guys!
Excellent job of describing a unique electric car. Your command of the significant facts is outstanding. No other car reviewer even comes close to your expertise!
Thanks so much Steve!
I think Autogefühl is the best car demostration of those I've seen.
Appreciated man! Pls share 🤘
Autogefühl 👍
It’s nice to have a new big electric car in the market. The prices are so high even if they are full electric & they don’t have any issues to enviroment. So we need more comparition to make them better & cheaper.
khaled Moawia It's Mercedes bro. Ask Toyota to make an affordable EV. Mercedes probably never will.
Well done, Thomas! I always enjoy your reviews of electric vehicles. I bought a Chevrolet Bolt EV (Opel Ampera-E) last year and I love driving it. Electric cars are so calm and relaxing to drive, I would never go back to a petrol car. I think Mercedes could have been a bit more daring with the front end design of the EQC. But of course they want to appeal to customers who may be a bit more conservative. However, I think it's much better than the front design of the Audi e-tron which looks a bit cheap. The EQC's interior shows some nice innovations in design and especially great choices for sustainable materials. The launch model with its blue accents is my favorite design. Cheers to you and the Autogefuhl team!
👌
Like the Juha Driving Academy jacket. Great Review. Nice light coloured interior version - do those air vents have an oar motive? Not sure about the safety aspects of ACC slowing for roundabouts - complacency issues? Or GPS camera augmented reality function - driver's eyes diverted from the road? As always, you get a very good idea of the car when going for a nice relaxed drive with Thomas! And listen to his commentary. But I will await his Review of the Tesla Model 3. The big issue, for using an EV for a road-trip: reliable charging stations. Tesla's charging systems seems the best out there?
Model 3 review will be epic m8 !
yeah supercharging infrastructure definitely Tesla is way ahead atm
I own a new B9 S4 with a pretty nice interior.
Saw one of these in person, and wow. I know my next purchase for an SUV. I thought the interior in my S4 was pretty upper end. Now it seems like B-tier lol.
It also looks amazing in person. Very classy SUV.
Very pleased so far with my EQC AMG which I’ve had for a week now. It’s in Hitech silver. I think it’s the best looking EV SUV to date in its class. Great performance too.
On the front looks Japanese like a Honda or a Mitsubishi, on the back the lights make me remember the new Kia Proceed and Porsche Panamera!
redlightson Yes
Thanks for the great review that I was looking for!:D
I still think that for most countries
I have had Europe tour with my bmw i3 last summer. Range on highway was around 170 km/100 miles. Yes it is a bit boring but doable.
This vehicle looks amazing. I would totally buy one because I want an electric vehicle and I love Mercedes. I am a little disappointed by the range numbers. Hopefully they will increase with each model year. Great review btw!
You rarely need a range longer than this. And if you do, a couple miles don’t make that much of a difference
@@thorH. Range anxiety used to be a thing until the legacy automakers tried their hand at building an electric car. When they couldn't match Tesla they decided, suddenly, that it doesn't make much difference. Hilarious. Please note, MB pulled the release of the EQC in the US because they just don't compare to any Tesla on price, range, speed, charging or infrastructure.
Dieter Zerressen No, because it doesn’t because range is something that is nice to have, not needed for the most people. You only need enough for your Daly life. And yes they try harder to improve on that and yes they do not match Tesla in their Battery technology, which is a shame, but Tesla just had the first mover advantage. And this car is way more expensive, but it is also of better quality. Tesla can not compete with that. Even all Tesla channels who review the EQC said so....
Dieter Zerressen oh and yes but MB is a European Company not predominantly in the US, which is the reason they take part in building the European charging infrastructure right now.
I'm glad that companies other than Tesla are starting to make EV's, but I'm disappointed that they're not really trying. The model S came out 7 years ago, and had a frunk, 400+ kms range, 0-60 of 4s (for the P85+ anyway) a 17" touchscreen with google maps and traffic for navigation...
This new Mercedes has no front trunk space at all, 5s 0-60, and a nav that isn't as good. Thomas missed the turnoff in the roundabout, and if you watch that bit, there's no pop-up or anything telling him which exit to take, so he's got to actually look closer at the map (focussing away from the road) more than he should. On a Tesla, there would be a pop-up in the dash (or on the side, in a model 3) that tells you which exit to take, with enough notice that you don't miss it.
I also have air suspension in my P85+, which I got 6 years ago. Why would Mercedes not even offer it in their newest car? So - no frunk, no air shocks, mediocre range, mediocre acceleration, and the MBUX is a lot more complicated to use than the Tesla infotainment.
All in all, I'm disappointed in this offering, and I don't think they're going to sell a lot of them. There will be some mercedes die-hards that will buy, but I'm guessing that the sales numbers will be disappointing, leading to a bad aftermarket, which will lead to expensive leases.
Colin Fox Ok, so first don’t compare the acceleration of your model S with a big SUV. The acceleration stats of a model X are only slightly better, so is its range. One of the major reasons fo that is, that the EQC has a front grill. That is better fo cooling the battery.
Most people rarely need the range a model S gives you, especially in Europe.
The front trunk in Teslas is nice, but not a must have. It is not like every single gas has it and no one really messes it there either.
I hate it, that people say, that it took Mercedes soo long to make a stat wise worse car, and that they aren’t trying.
This statement is false and widely publicized in the Tesla community.
A lot of car companies invested heavily into electric cars, and they are trying, just started a couple years later.
Just because you have a big touch screen, which is a design choice, and people think it is superior, doesn’t have to be something bad. In this Mercedes you still have the option to most of the important things your Tesla can do. And as far as I know, Teslas don’t have voice control, I could be wrong on that one tho.
I am also someone who spends a lot of time in the Tesla community, but please stop hating on the other car companies for waiting a little bit longer.
It is just annoying.
This is easliy the absolute best review of this car I have seen on the entirety of UA-cam. Magnificent job, I subscribed instantly
Lovely review, as always, Thomas! I would love it also in Thomas Blue.
I love the car very much. I would love to buy one, but it is not sold here because we have yet to have an electric platform at all. No hybrids or electric vehicles, not even Tesla is here. Funny, because Elon Musk was born here! I would prefer the Mercedes-Benz EQC platform to come here rather than the Tesla platform.
Cheers!
I was prepared to be underwhelmed by this, the more so as I'm normally an SUV hater, but I'm very impressed with the execution of the EQC. I particularly like how it's lowered compared to the GLC, and in fact it seems more like an expanded version of my B-Class electric drive, which has been a very pleasant car to own. Thinking on the B-Class, which was produced for three years using a Tesla driveline, what was lacking most (aside from range) was software, and it seems like Mercedes has really stepped up in that regard with the EQC. I'm particularly gratified that Mercedes has shown here that they take EVs very seriously as the future of motoring, and I think can expect to sell a lot of these. The customers I think will be a mix of current MB owners and people who are attracted to it as an EV but sold on the MB luxury and quality. That's what preorders on the Porsche Taycan look like and I think it will be similar with this. Anyway, I now think electric SUVs are A-OK. Sure they are less efficient than sedans, but you can get a 100% renewable electric supplier for your home and run this car fully green, in which case the more electricity you use, the better, and the popularity and profitability of SUVs will help automakers make the transition to EVs.
Good points. And some people - the rich? - definitely buy cars because of status. But in my experience, in the UK for example, journeys in an EV are fraught due to a lack of reliable charging stations.
@john collymore - Agree - we love our Nissan E-NV200 Combi, but only charge at home overnight. Ok, it has a very short range, so we only drive locally, because in the past we've arrived at various charging stations to find them faulty or occupied. Once we waited for a Leaf to finish charging, then the driver never returned. And it was a bleak place to wait, a long long walk from where we wanted to be...
Why are you an SUV "hater"? I understand someone not NEEDING one, but not hating them.
The best review of the EQC. Thank you
A great review of a great car (in my home country). I would rather go for this car than e-tron or i-Pace and even Model X. I think it is a sensible choice to keep the design of the car discreet and normal. Good EV's does not need to look "electric". Tesla, Audi, Jaguar, MB etc., but where is BMW with a similar EV?
They will come wit iX3 (electric X3) among others. Then you will have a choice of electric, hybrid, diesel and petrol powered car.
Thanks!!
I expect this to sell very well. Beautiful interior and this is under cutting Tesla massively. It's also approx 10% less than the I pace and E tron. I'd buy this if our gov't was actually giving us incentives to go electric but they killed that program. Bravo to Mercedes for offering so many non leather options.
Great review Thomas!
Thx bro!
Wow! Very good review! Enjoyed it! Love the car, love the channel!
Guys, i think Electric & Hybrid cars cancel all the advantages, they provide.
Very few car reviewers or mechanics, will speak the language of truth..
First of all,
1) After 5-8 years of use..the battery range will fall apart 5 - 15%...
Every new year..the range..will be decreased..
So, when the time comes , to change the battery pack, how much it will cost?
5.000 euro ?
10.000 ?
15.000 ?
More?
Are you willing to pay that amount of money ?
These information all test drivers , must ask the car companies and inform the public.
2) How much thousands of euros will be the cost of the inverter or the electric system, if it fails ?
And don't tell me it never fails..
For example, the first generations of Toyota prius inverter was burnt out...overheated.
The price for a new one, was 4 - 5.000 euro..
Imagine if something happens to the electric motor or any of the electric circuits of the cars from luxury brands as are
Tesla, BMW, Mercedes...
How much will cost ?
3rd...You wish to sell the car with the old battery?
The price depreciation , will be so deep...
Who is gonna risk it and buy it?
So, I dont care if Mercedes or Tesla have super fancy electric cars..
I refuse to pay 1,5 times its price..after few years.
Unless, i will be millionaire and burn my money, changing cars for fun.
Are you so rich ?
Buy that toy..
Well, the choice is yours.
All new cars are super..until the first malfunction arrives..
So, for me..the question is...
HYBRID, ELECTRIC OR DEISEL ?
And unfortunately, deisel is more economic, if you wish to keep it for a long long time.
So far it shows that electric vehicles have way less maintenance costs and that the batteries hold longer than expected. There was recently a test where a Tesla battery was working over 1 million kilometres in a stress test
Autogefuhl, 1 test of a Tesla car, doesn't mean Tesla electric cars or every electric car battery, will last long.
Batteries suffer not from the distances-kms a driver do..
The enemy of battery is the time.
For example the 12V we have in car..even the best one lasts for 5 years ,no matter the kms you made..
The time is against them
Lots of owners with electric or hybrid cars ,having to change the battery pack before the first 10 years...when, the car will return you the profits ?
Also, Tesla building quality is not good...
- Plastics break ...
- Fails of electric mechanisms from doors, windows etc.
- Maintaince cost is expensive & you can go only at authorized Tesla service centers.
- The water from the rain goes inside...
- The plastics inside are not fitted well..
- Parts are expensive..
Just look the youtube videos..
The maintaince cost will be less with the deisel, even if you chance a failed turbo or DPF filter..
I am not fan of deisel technology..but cost in general, will be less..much less..
I can already imagine switching from l/100km to kWh/100. Our age gets interesting.
lepiej by było jakby samochody były napędzane wodorem
taniej, szybciej i równie ekologicznie
nie wspominając o potężnym zasięgu na jednym "tankowaniu"
No dashboard = $5,000 built in profit. I liked Mercedes when they built to a standard.
You don't need a test drive. Just watch Thomas' review, go to the dealership, and by a car. Amazing content. I really liked the futuristic look of the prototype. We will get them maybe in the next generation. But it is better, and safer to go with something like this. Sort of a blend between old, and new design. I like it. But i don't understand Mercedes on front wheel drive. If we take top 3 German manufacturers i would never go with Audi. I like their cars. They are beautiful, and properly built, but they are front wheel drive. That may stir away few people from this car. Also the Air Suspension. They offer it on C-Class which is half the price of an EQC. Why not on this car? Apart from those two things this is a brilliant car. If they included the Air Suspension, and rear wheel bias on the drive train this would be ,in my opinion, the best electric car by far in the consumer category. If i would be buying this type of car now i would compare the other offers. Try them out. Just because of FWD, and no Air Suspension. If it had RWD bias, and Air Suspension I wouldn't bother with the competition. I know you are reading the comments Mercedes. Think harder for the next car release. Excellent review Thomas.
Thanks pal!
Best pronunciation of “Bremen” I’ve ever heard. Props.
Well he is a native German, so...
Why aren’t comparisons made with Jag I-pace?
because no one is buying those either. Weak efforts from Audi, M-B and Jaguar compared to the competitor which came out in 2015. Five years ago and the Tesla is faster, charges faster and has better range. That's just sad.
I want my EV to look like a normal car, the AMG would be my pick.
My pick with the AMG line look - the front end is nicer IMO and those multi-spoke wheels are hot. The interior is very nice - I think the Audi e-tron is better designed, but the EQC looks more upscale.
I really don't like the front, it's a bit better with AMG-Line version. But interior and MBUX are top notch !
I will prefer this Mercedes xqc instead of Audi Enron and Tesla
Why is that Christian? I was looking at the Audi & Tesla.
This is the car I want more than anything else.
"You can use this as your primary vehicle too"... Haven't we become a bit too spoiled here? ;-) I like the silver one best.
Why does this look like a chinese car?
Wow so good reviews now the EQ and the new facelift of the A4...😉 good
This guy has the talking power to make you buy anything 😂
Mercedes Range? Probably the most important feature. Also, where in the USA is the charging network with Tesla type superchargers? Absolutely essential if you want to go on a trip that is greater than ~50% of the range? IMO looks like it is an expensive around town/commuter car with probably less than a 100-mile one-way range. Don't see many of these sold without a vast supercharging network that rivals Tesla especially on the West coast where we love electric cars. Just on the block where I live, there are 6 Teslas. My neighbor routinely drives his Model S 6 hours to LA with no issues. How can you do that with this car?
mlhm5 It’ll sell well in Europe where most governments invest in super charging networks rather than just exclusive corporation networks.
Although I’m a bit disappointed in this cars range, I hope the Gen 2 will improve on it greatly
a quality of german car better than american car...every sq.mm.
very detailed and informative, nice review keep it up.
Great video! Is the driver legroom *wider* than the GLC? I know in right hand drive markers, the GLC can make your left foot feel quite restricted with its wide tunnel.
A much more attractive design than their other SUVs
"more" The design is exactly the same as the others. Boring. I'm sure they all are very well made with high-quality materials but you cannot tell, from the side, these new EVs from their ICE forebearers and that's just sad.
Subjective.
Looks like a great car. But I will never undestand German manufacturers and their millions of options. They should do it like Japanese manufacturers or Tesla: Deliver a great base model with 80% of the features and only a few things can be added. From a production perspective this is much better.
It is really annoying that you need to choose "the hyper-uber sport package with carbon looks" only because you want to have sport seats.
and they have even already reduced the option list on this one here
D-- is basically one-pedal-driving.
Something that Nissan made a big deal out of few years ago.
They should have in Thomas blue with classic MB textile Karo seat pattern also in Thomas blue as an option I think :)
=)
Thank for the review. Great as always. But again, one more luxury EV. The real thing will happen when we get 30K (EUR,USD,CHF) car with at least 500km.
Who will be the first? That company will sell a lot off cars.
While battery is expensive, electric motor is so much cheaper and electronic control is simpler (and cheaper), that in the end, EV is cheaper to make than equivalent ICE car. But they are selling them more expensive.
Model 3 review soon!
Darko Sola Mercedes bro. MERCEDES. Not going to be offering affordable EVs for the foreseeable future. Want a cheap EV? Buy a Nissan Leaf.
@@TecnamTwin So, they have A class. I have an Audi. Used to have BMW. They have cars from 30K and up.
I love mercedes Benz....but all new cars has not a good design just the features are so best in all classes
Looks very promising indeed. All the reviews so far have praised the car based on the comfort and driving abilities, and personally, design wise, I think it looks amazing, no harsh lines and a very beautiful interior.
Mercedes I think will sell quite a lot of these, and they deserve to.
And yeah, thanks for the review, the best so far honestly, keep up the good work.
cheers!!
A general question here.. What would the range be when cruising at say 130km/h on a motorway journey? Great review and great car!
thanks! Hard to test in Norway. Gotta do that here in Germany.
I can't get over of how far away this car is away from market needs. Not to get me wrong, it is looking nice and in my opinion one of the best looking MBs out there. However, who needs this? People have been bashing on BMWs i3 and the new VW id.3, but these two are exactly the kind of full electric vehicles that could change and shape the German automotive market. A 2.4 ton electric SUV for over 70.000 EUR - sorry Mercedes, but this is just laughable. The targeted market is so small and off budget for the majority of car buyers that I will be nothing more than an extra toy or second car for those who can afford it. Electrification of the automotive market needs to focus on: urban usage (size and practicality), affordability (price) and acceptance (design, sense and achievability) - otherwise there will be no changes on the roads and the German automotive industry will still be frowned upon. I still remember when people kicked BMWs a** because the i3 cost more than 30.000 EUR - yet this is still in reach and a true alternative for urban users. This car however is a mismatch of what a change to electrification should focus on.
The regen paddles are the EV-equivalent of a manual vs auto transmission with ICEVs. Some people will want to have manual control of the regen depending on driving situation and some will want the car to automatically handle it.
MERCEDES seem to have been inspired by the Porsche 3D rear lights and light strip across the rear.
Actually they were ALL inspired by the lights on the rear of the VW XL1 (first seen in 2011).
This is some improvement from horrible S class dashboard screen.
Great review as usual Thomas and Autogefuehl team, Compared the EQC and E-Tron what's the difference between this two? When will there be an GLS review?
Thanks 🙏 i mentioned some of the differences in the review, checked full length? GLS driving next month, static review already online:)
Thomas Blue :D You know you have made it in the world when you have a building, street, city or a paint color named after you :D
Great Review Thomas. I would purchase the AMG model. It looks better.
One month how much bill came charging in home ?
Sounds all well and good.But unless you are prepared to loose so much money on a car.First they are a lot more to insure.The batteries loose condition up untill about 7 years.Is when they need replacing.And i hate to think what that cost would be.For what you save on diesel and road tax is not worth the extra cost of the car.I could go on and on that is not good.Stick to a Diesel.Also remember governments want taxes.If it all went electric.Then they will introduce a cost for every mile that you travel.
It comes with an 8 yr battery warranty
That AMG-Line in white looks SO much better than the black spec model you drove. Great review as always :)
AMG is much better
Mercedes nailed it, for there first compelling EV, I like that it looks like any other car but they give you good looking clues that's its Electric that are easily identifiable by the EV community, just hope that Chevron Texaco does not try any underhanded stunts like they pulled in the 1990's with Toyota that made them stop development of EV's
Finally MB with emotion. Really love how EQC looks. Definitely the most beautiful electric car in production.
The best car reviewer out there on you tube 👏🏼👏🏼
👍
Thank you. Do you have any observations with regard to the integration of Mercedes Me charging locations with the MBUX navigation and battery information system ? How effectively it helps plan long routes ?

Mercedes winn over Tesla always and forever and ever.
I going to buy Mercedes
I love it.
Agustin Lidén I’m going the other way.
Difference between us is I have driven both marques. Last 3 vehicles were MB and AMG
I like the design idea with 2 12 inch widescreen displays for dash and carnav infotainment but i would prefer a dash hood covering the top and sides of the displays and covering from sunlight hitting the display.
I must admit that I hated the Mercedes, not for their engines or for their consumptions, but just because of their exteriors and also their interiors, but the electric model (Mercedes EQC) literally reconciled me with mercedes. I wish the starry brand continues to surprise us for its next models of vehicles, thank you again.
NOS for tunning propulsion = super capacitors for electric engines tunning :)
Good review. However I think the key rival omitted is the Jag IPace. Considering Jag sells 1/10th Merc or Audi’s volumes I think they are in pole position in this new EV space...better range, drive dynamics, looks (IMHO) and price...IPace has smashed it out the park and these new entrants highlight the fact all the more.
The Jag is much smaller, I wouldn't call it an SUV. It's basically a hatchback, hence the lower price
Haydrean Jag has shorter length BUT longer wheelbase, so more interior room. Those clever Brits🤓
flatbyfour there’s a supply issue apparently. Jag can’t make enough IPace’s to satisfy global demand. The IPace is on a unique architecture compared to the etron and EQC which are heavily modified Q5’s and GLC and this is coming from a manufacturer that’s significantly smaller than those guys. So not a compliance car.
Reminds me of a Honda HRV, just bigger
not in a bad way right?
Néstor García you remind me of an asshole, just got bigger
I’m a big fan of the GLC AMG lineup. I’d personally prefer the traditional shape. This is kind of a stop gap. Mercedes are testing the water with the current EQ lineup and I think the next batch will be very very good. 2024/2025. In the meantime, I’d still consider this as it’s still a very very nice car and there are no compromises on quality.
They all played it boring and safe. Can't tell from the side between the I-Pace, the EQC, the Bimmer or the Mach-E. They had a blank sheet, they had 8 years and they had billions of dollars in research and development and they played it safe. Sad.
The front and rear end looks terrible. I don’t see this being much of a challenger to Tesla considering it’s unable to come close to even the shortest range Tesla Model 3, let alone the Model X or S. They’re also pricing this way too high. It’s a compact SUV priced at full-size SUV money. Model Y is going to sell 10:1 vs. the EQ C.
Also remember that when you buy a EV Mercedes you will get the Mercedes ME- RFDI, which lets you charge at almost any station! No more fiddle with 5+ different cards...
BENZ = “THE STAR” 👌
I really want to like this car. I love Mercedes as a brand. But that front. First of I think it's misunderstood that the auto makers except for Tesla is trying to show their brand identity through what we know - ICE designs like air intakes and grills on the front. But on an electric car? It's fake. Also what a design mess imo. Lines and lines and swooping lines. I thought Mercedes was making a new sub brand so to say called EQ. Just like they got AMG and Maybach. They need to reinvent themselfs and be cool in a new way instead of a damn fake plastic radiator grills and chrome lines to resemble were the exhaust was. Not much innovation.
For heavens sake they have innovated and changed their ICE designs time and time again through a 100 years and they pull this crab.
Exactly, the design is just what I would think of a more futuristic combustion engine SUV, which is not what it should've been.
@@J11s1 Good design follows function, for a car body that would be drag coefficient, which is really bad on the EQC, e-tron and i-pace.
So personal taste aside, their design is objectively bad.
Maybe the next year, I see the lack of phone services integrated with the car, so is a hotspot your car an dying are satellite connection, also I didn’t see Apple Card inside, like you have in other cars,kind weird, what about self parking option , is any of this available?, thanks for the great review
Thanks! Carplay is possible
Why have such an enormous engine bay as an electric car. Anonymous bread bin styling. Like most cars nowadays it’s oversized and UGLY!.
German and European auto industry make the cars nice inside but the screen they using, GM killing them the chevy blazer ss screen is bigger the cadillac lyriq screen forget about it ! Insane !!!!!
Hope you enjoyed Norway and great review Thomas!
Thomas Electric review! You said it Fun to drive and agile...that AMG looks great. MERCEDES has scored here. I would trade in a Tesla X for an EQC which is true SUV.
cheers! more electric stuff coming up =)
The interior is definitely much nicer than a Tesla, but I think the exterior is too busy at the front, and not elegant enough around the sides + back. I feel like this car wont age nicely
I’ve just bought a Tesla model 3 to see what all the fuss is about, but I think the EQC is going to be in my sights before too long .
Seriously when I see the light colour of EQC front exterior it's similar to older Honda HRV
Looks like is your car! ;)
Great video as with all of them. Forgive this random question but what brand shoes are the ones you are wearing in the video? 😬
Thanks 🙏 see video description:)
The centre console looks very untidy, and badly designed,which is a huge disappointment.. .
Have a good one!Very cool, thanks
Wish there was a frunk
I like this eQc and the e-tron, this is a hard decision !
▓▒░ Do you need a degree in Computer Science,
a Bachelor of Science in Physics,
and a Pilot's license to drive this thing ? ░▒▓
Great review with all needed information!
Still some questions on the practical aspects of the charging times if you perform regularly long distance trips.
My favourite version is the 'electric look' with blue accents on a grey car body!
A new type of car can easily have a new look and must not look like a standard car....
Well done Mercedes and well done Thomas!
cheers!
EQ-E and EQ-S loading.....
Another great presentation by Thomas. :D Thomas Blue color would be real nice
