IF YOU’VE lived long enough in Mumbai, you’re most likely starved for an open road, fringed with sloping green hills. If you’ve lived long enough here, you’d also know that you need to catch this greenery before the city’s famous faux winter sets in and the emerald expanses begin disappearing. That’s why we have throngs of motorists taking to the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, stopping by at Lonavala for an escape from the city’s rigour. Post-lockdown, this was one of my first long drives with the family and it had to be special. I decided to make it electric and drive the Mercedes EQC to test the country’s first luxury electric SUV.
The Mercedes EQC is an absolute unit, becoming the first dedicated electric car in the German manufacturer’s illustrious history. When I first stepped into the cockpit, it had an air of modernity that was palpable and for some reason, surprising. I’d never think of what Mercedes would do in an all-electric setup and that’s what made the cockpit of the EQC so refreshingly new to behold. You are greeted by two 10.25-inch screens that sit behind a seamless expanse of glass, behind the steering wheel, extending to where you would normally find the infotainment console. You would expect an innovative instrument cluster, but I felt I’ve seen this far too often before. The air vents were more interesting in their copper tinge.
The MBUX user experience system is very intuitive. It supports several gestures, making it easy for the driver and co-passenger to control the media and sound.
