Mercedes-Benz released its first fully electric car to Australia the 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 and Simone gives it a full review.

It’s called the Mercedes Benz EQC and it’s an SUV and it’s a proper luxury electric vehicle. It is usually pitted against the Model X, much like any electric car would be pitted against a corresponding Tesla model, but The EQC is still very different and it doesn’t try to follow Model X in all aspects.

But instead, Mercedes chose to make a car at their own pace and level, which means it is better than the Model X in some aspects and needs to catch up in some others.

Two electric motors power the EQC, adding up to the total of 300 kW of power and mountain-moving 760 Nm of torque. This electric SUV reaches 100 in a notch above 5 seconds. The official range stands at 434 km. In reality, the driving conditions and style play a really big role, even bigger than on some other EVs we drove, so I wouldn’t be surprised if a really careful drive actually delivered more than that.
