The apple doesn’t fall far from the tree, that’s the philosophy that Mercedes Benz has employed with their first electric SUV, the EQC. It’s a good strategy – rather than make a science experiment, it’s simpler to apply a new technology to an established product.
And the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 certainly hasn’t fallen far. It’s straight up the GLC, which donates much to the EQC, except you trade in an internal combustion unit for an electric one. The green credentials of the EQC instantly put you in a different league, gives you more bragging rights and allows you to make a larger statement. At an expected price of almost a crore of rupees, if not more, you definitely want the loudest bragging rights and the biggest statement that is out there, and the EQC 400 fills the dotted line to the E.
