The Mercedes-Benz EQC made its debut in 2019, and is effectively the all-electric version of Mercedes’ popular GLC. That means a large but not enormous SUV with understated styling inside and out, and a decent but not class-leading range in the mid-250 mile bracket.
It’s a solid all-rounder that shouldn’t scare off existing Mercedes buyers looking to make the jump to electric power, though it definitely feels like Mercedes has played things on the safe side with its mid-range SUV EV - it lags several key rivals for range, build quality, and driver appeal.
You’ll have more fun in a BMW iX3 or Jaguar I-Pace for instance, go further in a Tesla Model Y or Model X, and an Audi Q8 e-Tron feels better built. But we know that for some, only the Mercedes-Benz badge will do.
The Mercedes-Benz EQC’s strength is as an all-rounder. Few of its qualities break any new ground in the market but it’s got enough of a mix of everything that if you’re in the market for a premium electric SUV, it’ll probably grab your attention.
Starting with the good stuff, it’s towards the smaller end of similarly-priced premium electric SUVs, so doesn’t feel intimidatingly large in town. That also means that it’s not as massive inside as some EVs in the class (notably those like the Tesla Model X, which were designed as electric cars from the ground up) but there’s still reasonable room inside, particularly in the front, and a decent boot.
The ride-handling balance is geared towards the comfort end of things, which also isn’t such a bad thing. Some rivals are more fun to drive as a result, but the more relaxed feel suits Mercedes’ brand image and the EQC is undoubtedly one of the most refined cars in its class.
There’s plenty of equipment even from the basic Sport model too and the interior layout is smart. Naturally, there’s a touchscreen to play with; it’s intuitive enough at a standstill, but can be more complex on the move, and it’s a bit of an oversight that you have to go to higher trim levels to get Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.
Like we said though, the EQC’s a good all-rounder. For more fun you’ll probably want to look at a Jaguar I-Pace or BMW iX3 instead (or less premium but still impressive models like the Kia EV6), while a Tesla Model X is difficult to beat for space and range. An Audi e-Tron still has the edge on build quality too; the EQC doesn’t quite feel as well put together as some rivals.

With all EQCs getting the same 408PS all-wheel drive setup, your choice of used models comes down to trim levels rather than power or economy - though on the latter point, going for higher-spec EQCs does chip away at the range, thanks presumably to their larger wheel and tyre packages.
In fact, top EQC trim comes with 21-inch alloys, compared to the 19-inch wheels of the EQC Sport. That might improve the car’s looks for some, but for most buyers the Sport will offer more than enough kit. The exception is if you need Apple CarPlay or Android Auto, which rather meanly, are only offered on AMG Line Premium trim and up - despite the average small hatchback getting it as standard. You can still pair up a smartphone with lower-spec models of course, just without the familiar Apple and Android interfaces.
As we’ve become accustomed to with the German brands, the trim lineup leans towards a sporty flavour, though the entry-level Sport does make a point in its specification list of coming with ‘comfort’ suspension. AMG trim levels dominate the rest of the range but you need to step up to some surprisingly high trim lines to find equipment that even some superminis now give you for free.

The Mercedes-Benz EQC’s boot size is:
Whichever trim line you choose, all EQCs are currently free to tax, thanks to electric vehicles currently being exempt from VED charges. This may change in the future, though you can still expect an EQC to be cheaper to tax than any combustion equivalent.
If tax won’t cost you anything, you may end up making up the difference to a regular Mercedes GLC in insurance costs. With the same EV drivetrain in every EQC, all sit in the maximum group 50 for insurance. The regular GLC starts in group 40, for comparison - still not cheap, but less than the EQC.
