Mercedes-Benz Eqc400 vs Mercedes-Benz EQE

What's the difference?

The Mercedes-Benz EQC has been on sale in Australia for a little while now, and aside from the local launch event we haven’t had a chance to spend any quality time with the brand’s first fully electric SUV. Until now.

The EQC 400, as it’s officially known, is the German luxury maker’s first foray into the full-EV landscape, and could arguably be seen as the first true luxury electric SUV on sale in Australia. I mean, yeah, there’s the Jaguar i-Pace, but it has a more premium-sporting intent than the EQC, and the Tesla Model X isn’t aimed at a luxury customer, more so a technologically-minded buyer.

So what’s the Merc EQC like to actually live with? We drove it for a week to find out.

Mercedes-Benz has released an all-electric sedan which is the equivalent of its iconic E-Class.

It has the looks and technology to rival any EV on the market but what about the practicality for a family? Will this be the luxury electric sedan families have been hoping for?

I've been driving it for a week with my little family of three to find out.
