Strong performance and low running costs	Not as enjoyable to drive as some rivals
Spacious and practical	Other EVs can recharge more quickly

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz EQC (2019-2024) was the German brand's first dedicated electric SUV, designed to rival premium competitors such as the Audi E-tron, Jaguar I-Pace and Tesla Model Y. Exclusively offered in the UK as the EQC 400 4Matic, it combines a dual-motor four-wheel-drive system with an 80kWh lithium-ion battery, delivering an official WLTP range of up to 254 miles. The car supports both AC home charging via a 7.4kW wallbox (approximately 11 hours for a full charge) and DC rapid charging at up to 110kW, enabling a 10-80 percent charge in around 40 minutes. With a 500-litre boot expanding to 1,460 litres with rear seats folded, the EQC offers spacious and practical accommodation for family duties.

The EQC excels in comfort and refinement rather than outright sportiness, delivering a relaxed driving experience with excellent ride quality and impressive noise suppression at motorway speeds. Its 402bhp combined output provides strong performance and effortless acceleration, whilst the four-wheel-drive system offers plenty of traction. Running costs are considerably lower than equivalent petrol or diesel SUVs, particularly with home charging on off-peak tariffs, though real-world range is noticeably less than official figures, especially in cold weather or on motorways. The premium cabin features Mercedes-Benz's widescreen MBUX infotainment system with generous standard equipment, though insurance costs remain high and servicing can be expensive.

Best for: Buyers seeking a refined, comfortable and luxurious electric SUV suited to long-distance driving, those with access to home charging, and drivers prioritising low running costs over driving engagement.

Not ideal for: Those wanting a sharp, engaging driving experience, buyers concerned about high insurance premiums, or drivers requiring the fastest recharging speeds available.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EQC if: You seek a refined, comfortable and luxurious electric SUV suited to long-distance driving, have access to home charging, and prioritise low running costs over driving engagement.

Consider alternatives if: You want a sharp, engaging driving experience, are concerned about high insurance premiums, or require the fastest recharging speeds available.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz EQC remains an impressively refined and luxurious electric SUV that excels in comfort and long-distance capability. Whilst the Jaguar I-Pace offers superior driving dynamics and the Audi E-tron provides alternative premium credentials, the EQC's relaxed character, strong performance and spacious interior make it particularly well suited to buyers prioritising refinement and practicality. Heavy depreciation has also made the EQC surprisingly good value on the used market, especially compared with newer rivals offering only modest real-world range improvements.
