  • See Mat's behind the scenes video here: • Toyota Supra and Merce...
    This is the Mercedes EQC! It’s the first all-electric car to be produced by Mercedes, and it arrives with a range of just over 250 miles thanks to an 80 kWh lithium-ion battery that produces 408hp and a 0-60mph time of 5.1 seconds! But are these stats impressive enough to match the £65,000 price tag? And would you choose it over a Model X?! Join Mat in his latest review to see what you think!

      kadir u. they're catering to the premium market, in that market mid size SUVs dominate. especially in China, where they love big Mercs. a model 3 competitor probably doesn't make sense to start with since a lot of people buy it for the economy. or they're new to luxury cars and want something somewhat premium and practical.

    I"m excited about the Mercedes EQC. I've driven a Tesla Model X for about 15 months. I'm sure hands down the Mercedes EQC will have a better fit and finish and feel more high end than the Model X. However, there are several "tech" areas where I think Mercedes EQC is way behind. The two big areas. 1. Autonomous driving: Now I don't use "navigate on autopilot" in my Tesla (I don't trust it enough yet) but I use regular "autopilot" every day on the interstate as I drive in stop and go traffic for about an hour to work. Other than resting your hand on the steering wheel, it does everything and has not made any mistakes. It's a true joy to drive like this and reduces the stress on me a good deal. From your review, I'm not sure Mercedes EQC is exactly at this point yet? Secondly, and this is a big one, over-the-air software updates. This is huge as the tesla is always improving. About a year ago, they updated so that the battery would pre-warm prior to getting to a supercharger. More recently they updated the "summon feature" which is quite useful and an update on the automatic windshield washers. Tesla feels like a computer because of this and I don't get the sense that the Mercedes or Porche EVs will have this. Regardless, my next car will again for sure be an EV but I would only buy something other than Tesla if they had these features.

      Carwow's main business is price comparison for cars. You say what car you want and you get great offers from dealers so you don't have to do any negotiating at the dealership. There are about 240 people employed to do this and we have offices in UK, Germany and Spain. But we also provide written and video reviews of cars. I'm in charge of that department and have a team of 11 people - 6 are website writers and 5 do video filming and editing. For this particular video one of my writers compiled a fact sheet for me on the car - price, performance, battery etc. I then flew out with a cameraman with no idea what to film. We got there and made it up as we went along - me testing the car as I go and us coming up with how to illustrate stuff to you guys. All this took 6 hours. The film was then edited in 10 hours by the guy who shot it. Then we uploaded it. This is how it is on every launch video you watch. The in-depth reviews are slightly different as we shoot multiple cars at once. Same as drag races.

      He never intended to either. Pure click bait for views as his shitty review about a shitty car can't stand on its own and had to borrow some fame from Tesla to get some more views. He mentioned the name Tesla only once, late in the video, only to shit on it.

      The Tesla Model X is not really a contender to much smaller, slower, lower range etc. Mercedes.
      Model Y will be.
      This review is unfortunately a click-bait.

      He goes out of his way NOT to tell us that EQC is inferior to tesla (catch the charging speed comparisons)

    My little Sisterhas just had one of these and i highjacked the keys tonight for a spin. Goes pretty well for a 2.5 tonne tank. Interior is nice and Merc mood lighting is top class. Really like it and im a thorough petrol head......

    New tesla model x charges at 200 kw and over 500 km on a charge. You can live with that. Range and charging speed not good enough on EQC

    The B250 and the SLS E: Well son hope you sale well this time.
    The EQC: Pa Pa. Ma Ma. I'll get you two proud.
    Status of sale: It's in fact pretty good~

      「ғᴏʀᴢᴀ」 ム尺イノズƲレԾ Ʋ刀Ծ hey man, don‘t want to argue, just to get this straight, this is what I meant (Wikipedia): „Alternators are used in modern automobiles to charge the battery and to power the electrical system when its engine is running“.
      So with preservation of energy this means Energy that is used to charge your battery cant be used for driving and part of your fuel always is needed to generate electrical energy.

    That jump to the back seat kinda reminds me of one of Mat’s old videos with REYUBRAC, or maybe he’s already with CARWOW then. Easter egg perhaps?
