in Monterey, but while the GT might add some glamor to the range, it’s going to be nowhere near as important to the automaker’s bottom line as the second-generation EQC SUV, snapped here in prototype form for the first time.
The current EQC has been around since 2018, and its strong points include a smart cabin and low levels of road noise. But it’s compromised by being based on the combustion GLC, has a relatively short driving range, and is neither as fun to drive nor useful to live with as some rivals. This includes the, which has dominated sales tables in multiple countries, not just for EVs, but for overall vehicle sales.
But maybe EQC: The Sequel could change all that. For its second outing, the electric SUV switches to a dedicated Mercedes EV platform that should should help engineers find additional cabin and luggage space, and it might even help cut the curb weight to improve performance and range. Benz is also using this same component set to develop a similarly-sized sedan that will battle’s upcoming four-door Neue Klasse in the second half of this decade.
