The Mercedes EQC will be the latest all-electric available in the subcontinent this festive season and it also aims to be the first luxury electric SUV as well. But is it properly luxury? Just how much fun is it to drive? Should you suffer from range anxiety and just how much is one going to set you back? We’ll tackle all these questions and see what it’s like to drive in the real world as well.
The EQC is roughly based on the GLC platform. With the same dimensions in width, wheelbase and height but it’s just a little longer overall.
