Inovev forecasts production of 25,000 Mercedes EQC in Europe in 2023
- Mercedes has unveiled its new 100% electric vehicle, the EQC, a D-segment SUV, similar in size to that of the GLC (4.70m long) with thermal engine, which is a big worldwide success, selling 200,000 units in the first half of 2018, therefore logically a volume of 400,000 units over the year.
- The Mercedes EQC is in direct competition with the newly launched BMW X3 EV and the future Audi Q6 E-Tron, which is expected to be unveiled in the coming weeks. It also competes with the Jaguar I-Pace and the Tesla Model X.
- Unlike the BMW X3 EV, the Mercedes EQC has its own body. It will be sold starting in the summer of 2019 and will be manufactured in the German factory in Bremen (alongside the Mercedes C Class and GLC) and in the Chinese factory in Beijing, owned by Chinese OEM BAIC.
- The Mercedes EQC precedes the Mercedes EQA which will be based on the Class A and will be manufactured from 2020 in the Hambach plant in Lorraine, alongside the Smart EQ Fortwo and EQ Forfour.
- The Mercedes EQC has a range of 450km thanks to an electric motor with a power of 400 hp (300kW).
- Inovev expects that EQC production in Europe will grow from 10,000 units in 2020 to 25,000 in 2023.
