Following the example of the G-Class 4×4², which was produced a few years ago, the Mercedes EQC 4×4² wants to show that it is capable of making an extreme off-road vehicle with electric drive. At Mercedes, they certainly have experience with SUVs. The new Mercedes EQC 4×4² is 20 mm higher than the standard production model.
The field characteristics of the concept have been significantly improved, so that the EQC 4×4² can overcome a water obstacle with a depth of 40 cm. Further modifications include increased track widths and 20-inch wheels from the old R-class shod with rugged-looking 285/50R20 Cooper Zeon tyres. The approach angle is up by 11.2 degrees at 31.8 degrees, while the departure angle increases 13.0 degrees to 33.0 degrees.
The EQC 4×4² combines modern luxury and sustainability with emotional appeal. EQC 4×4² shows that it is possible to enjoy sustainable mobility. In this case, electromobility, high technology and intriguing experience are transferred to the mountains. Electricity and progressive luxury go off-road.
The EQC 4×4² has a new acoustic system that emits sounds outside and inside, and the sound depends on the position of the “accelerator” pedal, speed, energy return and the like.
The electric drive remained unchanged. There are two electric motors from the standard production model EQC that combine to deliver 408 hp and 762 Nm of torque, and there is also an 80kWh lithium-ion battery made up of 384 individual cells and a single-speed transmission to channel drive at each end.
The Mercedes EQC 4×4² will remain just a concept, just like the E 400 All-Terrain.
