Mercedes-Benz EQC (2019-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
Relaxed and comfortable to drive	Not as much fun as a Jaguar I-Pace
Very quick, but cheap to charge	High insurance premiums
Spacious and practical	Some rivals can recharge more quickly

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz EQC is the brand’s first pure-electric SUV, a premium rival to the Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-Pace. Offered as the EQC 400 4Matic, its 80kWh battery provides a realistic real-world range of around 200-220 miles. It's a practical five-seat SUV with a 500-litre boot and good passenger space for two adults in the back, though the middle rear seat is compromised. It’s a spacious and practical choice for families looking to switch to a premium EV.

The EQC prioritises comfort over sportiness, delivering a serene and exceptionally quiet driving experience. Its 402bhp twin electric motors provide rapid acceleration, but the handling is less engaging than a Jaguar I-Pace. The cabin is plush, featuring high-quality materials and a large digital display. Running costs are low thanks to cheap home charging and tax exemptions, though insurance is in the highest group. Nearly-new models represent particularly good value in the premium electric SUV class.

Best for: Buyers seeking a luxurious, comfortable, and quiet premium electric SUV with strong performance and an upmarket interior.

Not ideal for: Drivers who prioritise sporty handling (consider the Jaguar I-Pace), those needing the fastest possible charging speeds, or families who regularly need to carry five people.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EQC if: You want a premium electric SUV and prioritise comfort, refinement, and a high-quality interior over a sporty drive.

Consider alternatives if: You need a more engaging driving experience, the absolute fastest charging speeds, or a more practical five- or seven-seat layout.

Competitive Position: The EQC is a compelling option in the premium electric SUV market, excelling with its sumptuous comfort and refined driving manners. While it can't match the Jaguar I-Pace for driver enjoyment, its luxurious cabin and quiet ride make it a standout choice. It represents strong value, particularly on the nearly-new market, making it a very appealing alternative to its key rivals.
