Performance

The Mercedes-EQ EQC 400 4MATIC delivers a solid performance with a maximum power of 300 kW (408 hp / 402 bhp) and a total torque of 760 Nm (561 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 5.1 seconds and reaches a top speed of 180 km/h (112 mph), making it competitive within its class.

Battery, Range, and Charging

The high-capacity battery has a gross capacity of 86.0 kWh and a net usable capacity of 80.0 kWh, providing a 6.0 kWh buffer (7.0%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 350 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system, aligning with industry standards. This Lithium-Ion battery utilizes NMC (Nickel Manganese Cobalt) technology.

Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the vehicle’s range varies between 432 to 400 km (269-249 miles), depending on the specific configuration and options, such as wheel size. Larger wheels can increase energy consumption and subsequently reduce the overall range. The vehicle’s energy consumption is rated at 18.5 kWh/100 km for the base model and 20.0 kWh/100 km for the top-tier model under the WLTP test cycle. For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.

The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 112 kW. Charging from 0% to 100% takes approximately 69 minutes, while a more typical scenario from 10% to 80% takes 38 minutes with an average charging speed of 89 kW. Considering an additional 5 minutes for each charging stop due to driving interruptions, the optimal charging range is from 8% to 66%. This results in an effective charging speed, including time lost, of 81 kW, with each charging session taking about 35 minutes and 33 seconds.

In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 25 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 28 minutes, requiring four charging stops from 8% to 62%, totaling 129 minutes of charging time.

Onboard Charger

The standard onboard charger supports up to 11 kW for Level 1 and Level 2 AC charging, allowing a full charge from 0 to 100% in about 7 hours and 16 minutes using a home setup.

Charge Port

The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This location makes it easy to use charge stations where you need to back up into the charger. Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.

Drivetrain

The Mercedes-EQ EQC 400 4MATIC features an all-wheel drive system powered by two motors, one on each axle. The motors used are Induction Motors.

Suspension

The Adaptive Air Suspension suspension has steel springs with a fixed height, but you can adjust damping to fit your driving style or road condition. The ground clearance with this suspension is 97 mm.

Steering

Dynamic steering is a standard on the Mercedes-EQ EQC 400 4MATIC, varying the steering ratio based on driving speed for enhanced control and comfort.

Brakes

The Mercedes-EQ EQC 400 4MATIC is equipped with cast-iron disc brakes on both the front and rear.

Regenerative Braking

The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes to enhance efficiency and driving experience. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.

Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.

Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving. However, it is not considered full one-pedal driving since, at low speeds, the vehicle will keep rolling until it comes to a stop by itself.

Exterior

The Mercedes-EQ EQC 400 4MATIC, with dimensions of 4762 mm in length, 1884 mm in width, and 1624 mm in height, falls into the Compact SUVs category, also known as C-SUVs. These offer a balance between the practicality and maneuverability of smaller vehicles and the space and versatility of larger SUVs. The Mercedes-EQ EQC 400 4MATIC offers a selection of 11 paint colors, featuring solid, metallic, and matte options. Alongside the standard palette, exclusive colors are available from the ‘MANUFAKTUR’ palette. In addition, you can equip this model with an AMG line exterior package. This package gives a more sporty design with a sporty diffusor and a new twin blade grill.

The Mercedes-EQ EQC 400 4MATIC offers multiple wheel options in different sizes, allowing you to customize your vehicle to suit your style and driving preferences. The available tire and wheel combinations include:

• 235/55 tires on 19" rims front and 255/50 tires on 19" rims rear
• 235/50 tires on 20" rims front and 255/45 tires on 20" rims rear
• 235/45 tires on 21" rims front and 255/40 tires on 21" rims rear

Narrower wheels improve consumption and provide a longer range, while wider wheels offer better traction and handling.

The car has four regular doors and a liftgate. The tailgate is electrically powered.

There is only one roof option for this model. As an option, you can order this model with a sunroof. The glass extends over only the front row, and occupants can open it.
