In that case, electric cars such as the Mercedes EQC are making quite the racket. A new raft of silent electric cars such as the Audi e tron, Jaguar I Pace and Tesla Model X is starting to, if not roar, certainly hum loudly enough to turn heads, and the Mercedes EQC stands out in even this exalted company. Rather than look overtly sporty or futuristic, the EQC looks like a slinkier, more elegant version of traditional Mercedes SUVs. At the front, there’s a sweeping chrome grille that flows into two narrow headlights while at the side you’ll spot a curvier roofline and some more shapely window openings than on the likes of the Mercedes GLC and GLE. It’s a similar story inside, where the Mercedes EQC doesn’t look or feel radically different from any other Mercedes on sale. Sure, you get some neon blue details and a set of square air vents in place of the round turbine like items in most Mercedes cars, but the metal switches on the centre console and dual screen infotainment system look just like those in the GLC. Watch our electric SUV group test: Audi e tron v BMW iX v Mercedes EQC. The infotainment system itself is very easy to use, and actually edges out the systems in the Audi e tron and Jaguar I Pace for general intuitiveness, if not the space infotainment in the BMW iX. The central display works as a touchscreen, but there’s also a touchpad on the centre console and some touch sensitive buttons on the steering wheel which makes it easier to sift through the high resolution menus when you’re driving. The system’s party piece, however, is the ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice control feature which understands commands said in plain English. Less exciting but arguably more important is the Mercedes EQC’s roomy cabin. There’s more than enough space for four adults to stretch out and each seat has ample support to help you feel as fresh as a daisy after a long drive unlike in some SUVs with oddly low rear seating positions. There isn’t quite so much to shout about when you come to load the Mercedes EQC’s 500 litre boot. It’s smaller than the load bays you get in an I Pace, e tron and Model X, but there’s still space for a few large suitcases or a couple of sets of golf clubs. The EQC officially goes 255 miles between full charges. It’ll take you around 75 minutes to get it to 80% charge on a 50kWh fast charger when out and about, or nearly 13 hours using a 7kWh charger at home. The Mercedes EQC isn’t just a posh electric SUV that’s nice to look at and cheap to run, it’s also incredibly comfortable and exceptionally quiet to travel in. You’ll find the Mercedes EQC soaks up bumps and potholes impressively well around town and it takes uneven road surfaces in its stride once you’re out in the countryside too. It even has a clever all wheel drive system that’ll run in front, rear or all wheel drive depending on your situation.
