Just a change of shell and power? Mercedes-Benz EQC has an endurance of 415 kilometers, is it worth 500,000?
When it comes to "oil to electricity", I believe that there are still many people who do not know much about what "oil to electricity" is? To put it bluntly, oil to electricity is to replace the powertrain of the vehicle without changing the main structure of the vehicle, that is, to replace the traditional internal combustion engine with a motor assembly and turn the fuel tank into a power battery. The original oil-to-electric model was a "shortcut" for car companies to enter the pure electric vehicle market through low cost and efficiency, just like "temporary clinging to the Buddha's feet" before the exam, and could not improve the value of the product. Some people also believe that only car companies with insufficient technical background will choose the oil to electricity method to enter the market. However, such a view in the Mercedes-Benz EQC has been unexpected results, luxury brands also have oil to electricity, the price of up to 500,000 yuan Mercedes-Benz EQC pure electric endurance is only 415 kilometers, then the question is, Mercedes-Benz EQC is worth 500,000 yuan in the end?
In terms of appearance, the Mercedes-Benz EQC and the prototype Mercedes-Benz GLC do not have much similarity in the shape, losing the front face of the Star Glow Dot Matrix Chrome Grille, which looks full and rounded under the embellishment of the closed blackened front grille, but in terms of refinement, it is more impressive than the Star Glow Grille. In addition, the front face of Mercedes-Benz EQC also adopts a through-type grille design, which is integrated with the "C" type LED headlight shape on both sides of the front, extending the visual width, and the black ventilation groove design of the front surrounds the left and right sides, so that the layering of the front face is three-dimensional.
In the side part, the Mercedes-Benz EQC and the Mercedes-Benz GRC maintain a high degree of consistency in styling, the familiar waistline design extends along the front fender through the door handle to the rear of the car, the 19-inch five-frame two-color rim shape adds a bit of fashion, and the rounded and full line elements are still the focus of the Mercedes-Benz EQC in the exterior design. In terms of size, the Size of Mercedes-Benz EQC body is 4774/1890/1622mm, the wheelbase is 2873mm, the size is not synchronized with the current Mercedes-Benz GLC, the wheelbase difference is 100mm, and the impact on the riding space is obvious.
The rear part, through-led taillights is the most eye-catching design at the rear of Mercedes-Benz EQC, the delicate luminous structure runs through the rear, showing a wrap-around parallel outline, with a bumpy and full body shape, the visual effect is good. In addition, the rear of the car also retains a large number of high-level elements, such as a 360-degree surround chrome trim strip at the bottom of the rear, a diffuser decoration and so on. Overall, the exterior design of the Mercedes-Benz EQC still has a unique luxury temperament, but the Xinghui dot matrix chrome grille is no longer there, and the body size is not synchronized with the prototype car, and the sense of luxury is not as good as the Mercedes-Benz GLC.
In terms of interior, Mercedes-Benz EQC adopts the popular dual 10.25-inch combined screen design, which supports up to 10 kinds of atmosphere theme switching, as well as 64 colors of ambient ambient lighting lighting effect settings, and when the vehicle is charged, it can also use the color change of the atmosphere light through the unique "breathing function" to remind users of the current real-time charging status. In addition, in terms of interior layout, Mercedes-Benz EQC can be regarded as an interior replica of Mercedes-Benz GLC, and the overall layout of the interior is consistent and the level of materials used is the same. The difference is that mercedes-Benz EQC has added a blue trim symbolizing new energy to the interior details, adding a bit of interior liveliness.
In terms of power, the Mercedes-Benz EQC series is equipped with a front and rear dual motor powertrain, of which the total output power of the EQC 350 4MATIC version can reach 210kW, the zero hundred acceleration time is 6.9 seconds, the NEDC comprehensive road condition cruising range is 415 kilometers, and the total output power of the EQC 400 4MATIC version is 300kW. Zero hundred acceleration time time is 5.1 seconds, NEDC comprehensive road conditions mileage is the same as 415 kilometers, it can be seen that the power quality of the car is still in line with the level of luxury SUV, but the endurance is not eye-catching.
epilogue
Overall, as a pure electric luxury medium-sized SUV priced at about 500,000 yuan, The Mercedes-Benz EQC has a certain gap with the Mercedes-Benz GLC in terms of product strength, not only the exterior design cancels the highly recognizable Xinghui dot matrix grille, but also the body size does not have a brilliant performance, and the sincerity in interior design and materials is insufficient. If you talk about power performance alone, Mercedes-Benz EQC is worthy of the benchmark among 500,000 yuan luxury SUVs, but pure electric vehicles need to consider more endurance. In the existing environment where the competition in the pure electric vehicle market is becoming more and more fierce, what Mercedes-Benz EQC needs to do is to change the essence, not to change the oil to electricity.
