This time, the camera captures the rear part of the car. The public premiere of the model is scheduled for September 4 in Stockholm. The main rivals of the new model will be the Audi E-tron, Jaguar I-Pace, and Tesla Model X.
The exterior of the EQC will echo the GLC. The crossover is based on the new Electric Vehicle Architecture (EVA) platform. High-strength steel grades and aluminum will be used in the body construction.
According to unofficial information, the car will get a pair of electric motors. The sprint to 100 km/h will take less than five seconds. The range is 500 kilometers. A new electrical wiring system is also provided, capable of redirecting up to 100% of torque to the front or rear axle if necessary.
Production of the model will be organized at the plant in Alabama (USA). About one billion dollars will be allocated for the modernization of production. Currently, the GLE, GLE Coupe, and GLS are assembled at this enterprise.
The concept of the first electric SUV from Mercedes-Benz was shown in the fall of 2016 at the Paris Motor Show. The Generation EQ prototype had two electric motors with a combined output of 300 kW (408 hp).
