Live updates: 2020 Mercedes-Benz EQC electric SUV launch live blog, price reveal, range, specifications, features explained
It's a historic day for Mercedes-Benz India, with the launch of the manufacturer's first-ever all-electric vehicle, the EQC 400 SUV, set for later in the day (2:30PM IST). The launch of the EQC also marks the first-ever luxury electric car in India. A quick reminder of the specifications on the EQC 400 4MATIC reveals twin-electric motors, one on each axle, producing a combined 408PS and 760Nm torque, an 80kWh battery pack placed in the floor between those two axles, and a claimed 0-100kmph time of 5.1 seconds, with an estimated range of 471km. A full charge from empty via the 3.4kW portable charger takes 21 hours, while using the 7.2kW wall-mounted charger Mercedes will install for you cuts that time to around 10 hours. Mercedes also plans on setting up 50kW DC fast charging stations at strategic locations around the country. We've already driven the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400, and found it to be a Mercedes through and through. All that remains is the reveal of the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400's pricing, which you can catch right here as it happens.
