This is Mercedes’ mid-sized electric SUV, and it replaces the old Mercedes EQC.

Is the EQC 400 being discontinued?
The EQC isn’t officially part of the Mercedes lineup anymore, as it’s been partly replaced by the (more expensive, but much-longer-ranged) EQE SUV, and it will finally be supplanted later this year by the new all-electric GLC. However, it’s a solid second-hand EV purchase and well worth a look. A discount that size is hard to ignore, and makes used EQCs more affordable than lots of similarly aged luxury SUVs, including the Mercedes GLC – the EQC’s fuel-powered counterpart. The EQC never had the range or charging speeds to justify its purchase price, but it feels every ounce as expensive inside.It doesn’t have the longest range, the fastest acceleration, or the best practicality. Forget the spec sheet, however, because massive used-market discounts and Rolls-Royce-rivalling refinement make the EQC a luxury car bargain for the right driver.Verdict. Our man thinks it’s time we started paying more attention to efficiency, rather than how many miles an EV will do on a charge; the EQC’s 244-mile official range only tells half the story. Efficiency aside, it has been an adept family SUV, with S-Class levels of luxury and refinement.
