Thanks 😊😊

yes and money

Perfect example of how close both cars are. I test drove both and it came down to looks for me. Cannot see past the massive black plastic "tache" beneath the grill on the Merc and the interior didn't appeal to me (though steering wheel felt nicer). Just waiting on my E-tron delivery date being confirmed!! 😝

In the NAF winter test the e-tron 55 actually had better range than the EQC, 341 vs. 307 km. www.naf.no/elbil/aktuelt/elbiltest/rekkeviddetest-vinter-2020/ In the summer test, the result was opposite, 400 vs. 434 km. respectively. Although the e-tron was fitted with 21-inch 265 wide wheels front and rear (square setup). The EQC has 235 wide front and 255 rear (staggered setup) no matter the wheel size. You can click on the cars in link below to see an actual image of the cars. (Check out the wheels the Taycan! 🤦‍♂️) www.naf.no/elbil/aktuelt/elbiltest/rekkeviddetest-vinter-2020/ The EQC also took off from the test route in the end, and continued past Oppdal, with tail wind, while the e-tron stopped in Folldal at a much higher elevation. Anyways, 🙂 I think the range is pretty similar in real life, with 19 or 20 inch wheels. The difference is the charging.. Kris’ conclusion here is pretty good. One could also mention the limited ground clearance of the EQC, but it’s undoubtedly is a great choice for many people. 👍 I especially like the way you can switch between regen levels and predictive regen. And the “AR” navigation looks cool.

Im sorry but how is Eqc exterior better than etron

Well, if you want the best of the best, and price isn't an issue, go for the Mercedes EQS instead. It is _MUCH_ larger than the Audi E-Tron, a _LOT_ quieter and is spec'ed a lot better.

Agree! Loox that interiour design people didnt know the outside dimensions.. and the e55 is sooo much more pretty 😍 🤣

ETron 50 only has a 120 kw charger so no difference. MB charges better and has longer battery. Now also supports 11kw charger.. looks are a personal thing but I would prefer the Mb AMG more

@@mkrgoede Etron 50 charges at 120 kW up to 80% SOC. At 80% EQC is already down to 70 kW. So Etron 50 charges a lot faster from 0-80%. You are right that looks are a personal preference. And I think etron is the best looking EV in this segment.

E50 charges up to 127kw!! Have had mine for a year can confirm it! And holds high charging until 70%!

I’m also going to order the etron 50. The 660 liter boot versus the 500 liter made a big difference for me. And the EQC has a delivery time of 12 to 18 months versus 6 months for the etron (in Belgium). Great video though.

There is a first time for everything! The E-Tron has a fake "engine" sound at low speeds, so its not the actual motors you are hearing. Tests where people claim the EQC is quieter has been done where these cars are on different tires (Conti on the Mercedes and Nokian or Bridgestone on the E-Tron). I have driven both extensively on the same roads (3000km in the EQC and 20000km in the E-Tron). And the E-Tron does have a hair more tires noise (again, different tires) but the E-QC has more wind noise. The EQC I had was on Contis and my E-Tron on Nokians, again I have seen no test where these cars are measured and compared with the same tires. I´ve also had a Polestar 2 for a few days now that was on Contis and was quieter than the Polestar I had last year that was on Michelins. It was also quieter than the XC40 I had a month back that was on Nokians. IMO its pretty conclusive that the Contis are quieter than any other tire, and the difference in tires noise between the E-Tron and EQC is because of this. I would be happy to do scientific test if anybody wants to loan me an EQC on Nokians so I can do a side by side comparison 😊

@@KrisRifa got nothing to do with tires or fake engine sounds. It's a clear winding noise, particularly from braking/generators. Tried 2 etrons with different tires (50 and 55) extensively lately, because I really wanted that car. But the electronic "noise" is audible at low speeds. You might be able to live with it. But it's there. In the EQC, there is nothing. The E-tron has it's clear advantages over the EQC, low cabin noise is not one of them. Please try to hide your emotions and love for the Audi if you wanna be perceived as impartial.

@@olesalomonsen6575 The fake "engine" sound works with acceleration and breaking, so that is the sound you are referring to. I can absolutely understand if you don´t like that sound, and it would be nice if you could turn it off. But we have to separate tires noise, wind noise and fake noise. I´m trying to be as objective as possible, therefore I am referring to thousands of kilometers of testing that I have documented with video. I´ve also worked with tires for four years, so I do know a thing or two about them as well. Tires are the number one culprit of variations in tires noise, and is therefore an important factor. From what I can find online the Hakka R3s (which is the standard winter tire on E-Trons) are around 1-2db louder than a comparable Conti Vikting Contact 7s (which are standard on the EQC). Since you don´t even mention tires I´m assuming you didn´t check. The E-tron also comes with bigger and wider wheels, if this was the case in the cars you tested this will also enhance the noises made by the R3s. The R3s also seem to have this humming or resonance on specific types of pavements around Norway that I have not experienced with other tires. Me and Bjørn Nyland have also talked a lot about the R3s making these strange sounds. Me mentioning in my argument other cars than these two, goes to show that I am actually try to be as objective about this and your comment of putting my emotions aside therefor makes no sense. Therefor I stand firmly with my assessment about the tire noise difference in the EQC and E-Tron being down to the tires and not the actual cars. When it comes to wind noise there is no doubt that the E-Tron has less of it. The EQC has wind noise of the front wing mirrors at 110kph + where the E-Tron dosen´t have this before you are at much higher speeds. Again, if anybody has an EQC on Nokian Hakkapelitta R3s I would be more than happy to test them side by side. Again, that goes to show that I am being as objective as possible and emotions have nothing to do with anyting.

EQC comes per January 2021 with an 11 kW AC charger. insideevs.com/news/454873/mercedes-eqc-upgraded-onboard-charger-11-kw/

@@philipclaeys6920 yeah finally! 😁🙏

MB is middle tier? I have driven both and the MB has a better interior than the ETron.. the Mb now offers 11 kw charger

@@mkrgoede and the etron 22kw 😁🤓 and panoramic roof and comfortable seats and more space and .. long list.. 😀

@@mkrgoede I have e tron one edition , is amazing, much better the MB.

This is a very interesting topic that me and Bjørn have discussed in private, and there is no clear answer yet. But! The EQC and E-Tron Bjørn tested weren't on the same tires. After Almost 10k km in E-Trons the last few months I think the E-Tron and EQC are very similar in tire noise, but that the E-Tron has less wind noise.

Good work! I bought a slightly used (~4000 miles) 2019 E-Tron prestige in the US after cancel my Tesla model Y order. The Tesla is not a luxury car and a slightly used E-Tron is a great bargain in the US right now. Dealership in the USA has to discount a lot in order to get it out from the door. Great opportunity for the E-Tron buyer. Test drive a E-Tron before buying a Tesla.

@@KrisRifa My US E-tron Prestige have Goodyear Eagle sport. What tire do you have when you test the E-tron noise level?

The broad decibel rating that Bjorn gives doesn't give much detail. I find the e-tron to mute wind noise beautifully, but also have a low of annoying boomy low end.

The EQC is MUCH more quiet than the e-tron. Know for a fact, been testing both cars extensively lately. The noise from the generators and motors on the etron, at low speed, is a topic on several forums. Kris is the only person I have heard, ever, to claim the opposite. This test also says is clearly, the EQC is MUCH more quite and comfy when driving, than the e-tron. I was leaning towards the etron. But you get more reach, and a quicker car in the EQC. And more silent. Just wish It had air suspension all over. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/jdmBnqSh0KnWo3U.html

Yes and it can be hided with a push on a button.

Is it electric operated?

@@rickardljungdahl5414 Yes it is! 👍

Stupid comment
