Hi Bjorn Nyland, very nice video. Owning an EQC for almost 1 year now and I've done +- 45000km with it, I do have some additional info to share: - The EQC has air suspension on the rear, although it isn't ajustable it has at least the suspension caracteristics :). And with 19" wheels the comfort is almost the same (or even better) than the e-tron. - you should try (and get used to, took me a while as well) the D-auto mode. It makes the car more efficient and once you get used to it it works great :) - mine is on 19" aero (amg) rims, and this has a significant impact on the economy. On a 120km/h highway drive i average (no wind, flat road, temp. of about 13-15 degrees) about 22 kw/h. Now in winter it's about 24-25. The 19" wheels do also offer it a softer ride. I'm convinced that if I would install energy label A tires on both axels (like on most MEB-cars), this would further decrease the consumption. It will never be the most economical, but averaging 22 kwh on a longer highway run isn't to bad for this size and weight (and power). - If you put the HPC in the navigiation system, it does preheat (at least based in the press info of Mercedes) and honestly, at Ionity I always get the 107-109 KW peak power. At some other HPC suppliers, it can be a bit less. But next to the peak power, it's especially the flat charging curve which is interesting, 10-80% time is as fast as a polestar for example or as an ID4.
You can actually skip tracks forwards and backwards by swiping left or right on the top part of the touchpad (where you can also press for Home and Back). Once you figure it out it works pretty well, but I'd still prefer buttons on the steering wheel.
Polestar2 isn't pure ev platform i think. I drove if and it's much more cramped then eqc that I also tested. That is actually my complain about polestar2. The front sit is to choose to the middle console. I didn't like that. Still EQC was a great ride. How do you think it compares with EV6? I still haven tested that. It's not out in Sweden.
@@goranlind6969 yep, booked a time for testdrive :D If i dont like it Polestar2 is in my shorlist, same with EQC, but i really want a pure electric platform preferably.
@@azerx3759 I’ll have my EV6 GT-line next Friday, test drive tomorrow. Ordered in April. I’ve been driving the E-Niro for 2 1/2 years, an excellent car but not the most exciting. Didn’t hesitate to order early. KIA give you a lot of value for your money. Poolstar 2 is an excellent car. The downside for me was that it felt like any Volvo, the efficiency and the boot space. But it drives like a Ninja (quote Björn😂). In the end it’s s matter of taste as it should be now that we have more then Tesla to choose from. Tesla also make excellent cars but they remind me of soaps (on wheels).😉
MB planned to build the EQC in Tuscaloosa, because it uses the same platform like the previous C-Class that was built there too. EQC, GLC and C-Class sedan/station wagon were build in Bremen on the same assembly line. But the EQC is phased out already in 2023 and production of the new EQS and EQE SUV will start in Tuscaloosa soon. The 2024 EQC SUV is based on the same platform EVA 2.0 (EQS, EQE sedan and SUV). Wait for Bjørns EQS review and you will notice how advanced the new platform is compared to others, even Tesla.

Hei Bjørn :) Thanx for the videos! I just decided to pull the trigger and order the BMW ix3 2022. It was a hard choice between eqc and the Ix3. How is the noice level between eqc and IX3?
@@bjornnyland I have seen this, but there you compare it mainly to the ID4, not the EQC. Now i own a Nisan Leaf 2018 and a Mercedes G500, the leaf sounds like a very noisy industrial area compared to the G. Hope at least that the IX3 is more silent then the leaf.
In the last part of the video you are discussing what crossover you would consider yourself (instead of EQC). May I ask why you would not consider Model Y? Why Model X, e-tron or ipace over model y? As a generic feedback, I feel that these "impressions & summary" videos would be even more awesome, if you would somehow compare the tested car against its peers in a more structured way (same car class and same price point). No need to rank them but at least have some tangible benchmarking done to support other people's decision making. You are already ranking many electro auto specific content in the excel, could that be extended to more "generic" auto content like build quality, sound system quality, comfort, lights etc?
I have a 2019 Diesel GLC , car is fab & practical size . Next week I will try Audi Q4 etron & EQC .. Eqc battery is 32k though 😅. Used they start around £24 k😊
No hate, but piano black console will leave a lot of scratches if you aren’t careful with it. But overall nice silent and good quality car like the E-tron. Currently owning Audi e-tron Sportback 55, I just like the overall looks a bit more. Performance and range wise, these cars are very similar. 300-400km range is more than enough! And from 0-100 in less than 7 seconds is fine by me.
The left blinking in the round about is not needed. You blink right before entering only if you take the first exit, otherwise don't blink until you rexit comes up, so anyone form any entrance will understand what you want to do.
Does it really matter tho? If a car approaches you in a roundabout, there are 2 option: 1. the car takes the exit you want to enter = you could go in. 2. the car does not want to exit at your spot= you have to let it pass. To see that difference, it does not really make a different if the car has no turn signals on or the left one is on, it depends on the time the approaching car turns his right turn signal on, because at that point you know the car will leave the roundabout.
Bjorn, when can we expect a review of EQS from you ? Eagerly awaiting the 90kmh range test of EQS especially after a poor EPA rating of 350 miles which doesn't look believable.
The EQC feels like driving on a plush sofa. Unfortunately it also applies to hard cornering 😂 But let's face it, not many of us are going to track our SUV.
For the wide angle of the back camera you just have to tick the angle icon on the right of the display. The default view is smaller and is shown with the 360° view. When you switch to the wide angle you see the camera view on the entire screen.
@@bjornnyland in my experience it does (give full speed), but I can only say it works for certain if the navigation plans the charging stop automatically. Whenever I manually navigate to a charger it's been hit or miss
@@simonhenshall4294 its still going strong, a bit heavy on the tyre wear maybe, but no mechanical issues. I haven't done any specific testing to determine battery degradation, but I didn't notice any on my previous long trip. About 90k km
@@salemyr Thanks for responding. Last week I put Pirelli SF All Season Elect tyres on my EQC 1886. I bought it a month ago from a Mercedes dealer 28K miles and all necessary recalls actioned. Super car - quiet. Hoping for many years of enjoyable and trouble free motoring.
Ding Dong dang!! I hate those devices that make a noise to tell you that you have just pushed a button. Ok I get it when there is a moment with urgency or safety. Even horn blowing when a car locks and unlocks. My EQA is pretty good and will be the same as the EQC, although the proximity alerts in my tight parking space send it into hyperspace. I think the 2yr gap between the EQC and EQA has given MB some opportunity to address some of the issues like charging rate. The Navigation charger identification is pretty poor though and I mostly end up like you with zooming in on the Nav screen to a charger, but that does need pre-knowledge of chargers of course. I like the EQA though and have not seen anyone test drive the Audi Q4 yet, and praise it.
Try driving a Citroen C4 lol. If you make the mistake of opening the driver door without manually activating the parking brake it will scream and flash red letters on the dashboard 🤣 I had that car as a service loaner and hated every second of it...
I looked at it but to me there re two major disadvantages - apart from the range - and that is a. as you correctly say: That it is factually built on an ICE basis with all the disadvantages that come with that. But b. One has to be aware that the EQC in any reasonable setting is here in CZ starting realistically around 2.5 Mio CZk or roughly 100.000 EUR. So for that kind of money it has to be double as good as a Tesla M3 and also better than the Y - since even that is vastly less expensive - etc. in terms of quality. And then it is getting closer to BMW IX and I think that one is again substantially better in several ways. But doubtlessly great build quality, I drive Mercedes now. But as an ICe and even then it is nowadays crazily 3xpensive - c class with reasonable engine and equipment comes easily to 1.8 mio CZK or 80,000 EUR.
I never use percentage as my state of charge. I want to se approximately how far i can go in KM. percentage is useless to me How can you know how far yo u can go by looking percentage? when the range differs depending on the weather. If its -10 degrees the car knows, if its +20 degrees it knows that and it adjusts the KM that you see on the batter state of charge (depends on the car I guess). I duno but for me percentage is the first thing that gets changed when getting in to a new EV.
Let's say you've driven very nicely 250 km and GOM says you still have 150 km left in range. What if at that point of your trip a long uphill/motorway/headwind/rain starts? How far can you still drive? No way 150 km. Ok, how much battery you have left? You don't know that either. Ie.GOM works only if all the variables stay the same. Otherwise it is - just like it says - a Guess-O-Meter.
@@villho But isn't that exactly the same with percentage. If your are driving up a hill at some unknown road? Also doesn't the gps calculate all the hills, speed limits and approximates the consumption. When you type in the address the car will show approximately how much range (KM) you will have left at the end of your journey it calculates all the hills and stuff (Tesla is really good at that). So you can look for a charging spots near your destination if needed. I duno I guess you can get used to percentage sure, but for me that's even more random and it requires even more calculations in your head. So having range in KM is a no brainer for me at least :)
I prefer percentage. The estimated range is useless to me. Showing percentage makes me less stressed and eleminates my range anxiety. It’s nice if we can choose what the display shows, then all can be happy.
The center consol has more room than you do. Why is plastic more important than the comfort of the driver? That's why I like the Ionic 5. Built for the owner, not a plastic consol with scattered buttons that could easily be located elsewhere. The Ionic 5 proves it can be done.
I think the new refreshed S and X are going to be much better when it comes to the audio in the car. I personally always listen to music when driving, so I don't care too much tbh but I do think the new Model S has done catching up in that section just as much as their production quality has improved too.
What I hate about the New German cars ( 1995 and older where TRUE German cars). is that its not about quality anymore, its about all the options you have to pay, while you get most of them for free on other cars. I had a Kia 2015, with active lane control. and never under 4 years I had to "correct" it as you did here ( or yours would had crashed). It just shows German cars now milk ppl b/c brand and not the quality that made them famous
thanks to the no talking driving I could notice the turn signal is too loud, in fact not the turn signal itself but the mechanism when the physical handle moves ! but 38 min on top of all the others videos on this car …people who work and have children (congratulation by the way…) can simply not see it all…or take time that should be given to other things…what I’m really looking for is the EV6…smaller but bigger inside, in fact I look at the EV6 as an improved (charging speed) i-Pace at a discount price. No time for EQC which is ugly and suffer from it’s fossil roots (ratio of exterior to interior space). EQC will soon be replaced anyway ?
Nice Mercedes but think Q4 e-tron eats this in premium segment: Bigger interior, better range, better charging and pretty much equal in comfort and silence as well more modern interior for the Q4…
@@bjornnyland You can but You dont have to. Rest is interpretation. But I just hate when someone is using left blinking light but still using right one too late... It's like he wanted to help but it turns out even worse
Wether you are in to EV or not.. This car is the most beautiful SUV ever produced. Practical and still very very elegant. A true cruiser. :)

Nice to see you drove so many kms. I really think it’s an underrated car. Let’s hope you put as many kms on it next year :))
Most useful owner feedback, thanks
I strongly agree with the D automode. Its a expert to find regen and also very comfortable to use but, takes some time to get used to it.
Is the D-auto mode in the paddle shifters? What does it do? Adjust regen? My experience is having no regen and just rolling gives the best range.
Great tip , what's HPC ?? I'm learning
When you are in the Navi screen, press the skip button in the pad and radio will show in the same screen. It even works on older systems.
You can actually skip tracks forwards and backwards by swiping left or right on the top part of the touchpad (where you can also press for Home and Back). Once you figure it out it works pretty well, but I'd still prefer buttons on the steering wheel.
Down here in New Zealand, motor journalists voted the EQC as the car of the year in 2020.

The left blinking in the round about is not needed. You blink right before entering only if you take the first exit, otherwise don't blink until you rexit comes up, so anyone form any entrance will understand what you want to do.
In Norway people blink left. It's good for traffic flow

Does it really matter tho?

Those sounds are there to save your life. No sounds on such a dangerous manouveres should be illegal! Major safety concern
What I hate about the New German cars ( 1995 and older where TRUE German cars). is that its not about quality anymore, its about all the options you have to pay, while you get most of them for free on other cars. I had a Kia 2015, with active lane control. and never under 4 years I had to "correct" it as you did here ( or yours would had crashed). It just shows German cars now milk ppl b/c brand and not the quality that made them famous
"Folkets kebab!" när kommer det till Sverige!? ❤️
Unbelievable how MB is ignoring USA with this model.

I’m sorry not to hate on this video but underrated EV…. ITS HELLA EXPENSIVE
Since when luxury cars are cheap? Since never.
Автопилот в мерседесе - как пьяный водитель.... Может привезет к месту назначения, а может и нет...
Those buttons on the steering wheel and the blinker sounds cheap 😬
Just ask the car: "Hey Mercedes, what is the state of charge?"
how can it be "underrated" if most people haven't even tried one.
Thanks, probably can only afford it when it's 8 year old...
thanks to the no talking driving I could notice the turn signal is too loud, in fact not the turn signal itself but the mechanism when the physical handle moves ! but 38 min on top of all the others videos on this car …people who work and have children (congratulation by the way…) can simply not see it all…or take time that should be given to other things…what I’m really looking for is the EV6…smaller but bigger inside, in fact I look at the EV6 as an improved (charging speed) i-Pace at a discount price. No time for EQC which is ugly and suffer from it’s fossil roots (ratio of exterior to interior space). EQC will soon be replaced anyway ?
You know that you can pause the video and watch it later?
Priorities man, sometimes I don't feed my kids cos I'm watching Bjorn.
@@bjornnyland of course😂 but time is in limited supply - which means when you watch Bjorn there’s something else you cannot do !
@@bjornnyland and speaking of concision : th-cam.com/video/pD2zdQDcZng/w-d-xo.html
We just get older. Hahahahaha!
This is some ASMR shiiiiit :D hahahah
Nice Mercedes but think Q4 e-tron eats this in premium segment: Bigger interior, better range, better charging and pretty much equal in comfort and silence as well more modern interior for the Q4…
You dont have to blinkt to the left on roundabout
Incorrect.
@@bjornnyland Sorry, but You are wrong
@@bjornnyland You can but You dont have to. Rest is interpretation. But I just hate when someone is using left blinking light but still using right one too late... It's like he wanted to help but it turns out even worse
Once you understand how traffic flow in roundabouts work, you will also blink left.

🤣
Fat e tron lol
but interior design is not that good.
