Seen Through Haggis should be GLC EQ

Because electric is the Future and they are trying to make them look futuristic. This design language is how I pictured cars would like now, when I was child.

+seen yeah, those blue mix alloys are bloody awful.I guess they want everyone to know its electric.

Steff Why are they trying to make it look futuristic if it’s coming out now? Surely they should be following modern day design language? The front end and the wheels are hideous, the rest is just an uninspiring SUV.

ivan arciniegas Probably won’t fall apart like a Tesla though.

Are you ok? ,it looks nothing like a ford edge XD

I'd rather have the Ford edge

Looks nothing like an Edge......both new and old...lol......you back from the future or something??? XD

hahahaha that's what i thought of right away. Looks exactly like the first gen ford edge

Looks exactly?, you people are fucking crazy. Go look at a merc glc. That looks exactly like this car. Or the new Q8, that one comes close too. And then go get your eyes or head examined.

Das why I call it Jenny from the block

from the back looks like cayenne

I liked the front and the rear equally

@@niki123489 I didn't mean that the front is ugly. It's just that the rear looks very sleek and sharp. It's beautiful. Front is not bad at all.

yeah nice and overpriced poorly made and pointless... an electric cars real purpose is to save you money these german shit boxes are terrible, tesla is overpriced junk and jag too. leaf and its competitors far surpass this crap. audi even make huge overpriced suv hybrids.... WHY! you get a hybrid to save money... also carwow is being paid by merc to show this crap as the "tesla beater!"

Or the new MACAN

I was thinking more Kia Sportage like

this car designed 2016 . before new porsche generation

and Porsche copied from Dodge. A horizontal light strip is not that unique.

VAUGHAN MASAWIEY only the tail lights specifically

I-pace has too many blind spots with the way the front n rear pillars are constructed.. they had a chance to lead the EV industry but the bad design has set them back..they can't even install wipers in the rear window smh

Why it's right

we all know tesla is unbeatable

yeah I want to see a miles/km range test and acceleration test.

@@tomstraube8175 When Tesla main is goal is to encourage competition, lmao merc is literally doing what Tesla wants

HubDubs exactly! they literally gave out the plans to make new cars a how to make their batteries so that other companies can make competition for them. it’s so dumb to hear people say tesla is dead because they’re making so much competition

Going down hill 😂😂

But it looks ridiculous, and is more expensive...

Yeah it is🔥

Cuz the car industry has somehow tricked people into thinking SUVs are "sporty".

A survey conducted recently concluded that Americans love SUV

Raptor Schröder yeah I was wondering that too but I’m not really complaining because SUV’s aren’t really that bad in practicality, design/look and comfort. But it does depend on which one you get

People want their comfort, "quick" acceleration and practicality. They generally want more space, too. So here we have enlarged hatchbacks.

+Rennie Ash But SUV's are not very spacious

Oh, don't worry, it's coming... You just have to wait a little longer

Not sure about the front. But the back definitely looks like a Porsche

I actually see a bit of Mazda going on at the front with the grill, but you're right in saying it looks like a Porsche at the back.

Mohd Mans that’s what I was thinking lol

i see more of a mitsubishi front with honda headlights

The front is like 75% Honda and the back is like 50% Porsche

Pressing the button to open the exhaust valves should be fun on that one :)

More like EQC 80KwH AMG

Outlander

It's like they took a Mitsubishi, and got rid of the aggressive character lines that make it look sort-of okay. The only uglier EV SUV is the Tesla Model X, and it's close. I'd sooner show up to a fancy party in a Nissan Leaf than one of these, unless they do an emergency facelift (like Toyota did after the first year of the latest gen RAV4, which looked downright scary at first). The front reminds me of a cross between a Dodge Nitro and a jellybean, and you're right that the rest looks like an Outlander. Given the luxury options though, I think the Jaguar is by far the best-looking, and long-term reliability is simply not a concern since 80%+ of all of these (except maybe the Tesla) will be leased. The Audi would look the best, but I think it doesn't do a good enough job of disguising its hatchback roots. All crossovers are lifted hatchbacks or wagons with higher roofs and restyled beltlines, but they usually either try to look like an actual SUV, or are unashamedly lifted wagons with cladding (Audi Allroad, Subaru Outback). The Audi straddles an awkward line between those two strategies: it's too high to be a good-looking hatchback, but still not big and aggressive enough to give crossover buyers what they want.

I thought ssangyong had brought out a new car at first glance

Its for the looks.

You wait, next will be electric cars with real engine noises piped though the speakers..

there are no fake exhaust pipes its just a design chrome line where normally the exhausts would be.

pb5x5 karma does it already

Doesn't really look like exhaust to me at all. Y'all just being petty for no reason!

Our pleasure!

For the us testing range it’s around 200 miles which is pathetic

It uses regen braking so it does charge the battery a bit right?

178watts per KM

Bro it's MERCEDES

The 200 mile range includes regen braking.

misterpepe8 esp. the front

I don't think so

yeah thought the same thing

Interior is very Lexus

Which is not a bad thing

and audi e-tron looks better than both.

btw this mercedes have best interior.

E tron is shit

Model X is Ugly and shit inside

Ouch

Akshay Kumar yeah front looks weird .... Also the fake exhaust pipe

david chizi its an electric car. So the exhaust pipe is there for aesthetics so it doesn't matter that its fake.

Eventus Vantos Get rid of it

but its still kinda weird man

I think it’s hideous

Guessing you've never seen an i3

It’s a heavy electric suv. It doesn’t have Tesla power that’s why it’s so much cheaper

nazim hussain Tesla has already won this one ☝️

it's just EQC 400 the sportier version haven't announced yet Mercedes is waiting to see the market response to their electric cars and then fight with the sport versions

What sort of specs did you want ?

You are NOT alone!

Puneet Dass Aerodynamic features for improved range (why not get rid of oldschool door handles and grille?), better battery pack (energy density and overall capacity), front trunk (and a larger rear trunk, too), much faster charging, more power, hardware ready for full autonomy, etc. And really any kind of feature that would make me want wait 2 years for this car and not buy a Jaguar right now. While this might seem about competitive today, they plan to release it 2 years from now and by that time it might look seriously outdated next to Tesla Model Y.

“Can beat Tesla” NO NO NO NO NO!

Model X 90D can probably beat this car that will probably be a flop (I might be wrong from German fanboys)

e-tron isn't even done yet?

@The Rambler They've already started production

junk.

Toj Purre that's just speculation. Eqc is better by definition since it actually exists unlike the etron!

Marthinus Muhlamarisi, agreed I’m tired of “GONNA KILL TESLA” cuz they never do

More like nice trash Mercedes! Only merc fanboys will get that

You forgot that the Kona is a much smaller and lighter car. You're comparing cars that don't compete with each other, stupid.

Shut up moron. The Mercedes is much more expensive and at that price point it should have larger batteries and range. Other models with similar size and weight have longer range too.

looks awful

A true petrolhead, car's look has nothing to do with electric or not, some cars look good, some do not

It needs a big V8.

Tesla's has already beaten ferraris and stuff in a straight line with their normal everyday cars. An electric car actually designed to be fast and agile would crush an ICE. But I will miss the sound of the big V8's. Maybe they will figure out how to make a sound like that without having to fake one with speakers.

@A true petrol-head So you, a "true petrol-head", don't like the AMG 6.2L V8? The AMG 5.5L Biturbo V8? Those are both european.

This has Mercedes quality. Quality is something Tesla know nothing about.

R W meaning it will break down every 60 km?

PetrosRZ, nahh meaning it wont.

plus you wont see any panel gaps, loose cheap materials and terrible reliability . Its a Mercedes!

But the Model X f*cks its battery so hard that it needs a new one every 15k miles and the motor is crap, too... it's not progress if it isn`t sustainable. Sure, the average moron comparing cars by comparing spec sheets migh fall for Tesla's trick.. but take a look at reliability data and tell me they really made an electic car that can honestly do the things it advertises!

Why do you hate them? Discuss. 5 marks.

Yeah, it's incredible bad electric car for 2019.

@@kriss2005 i dont think so ...

@@brianmwanzia3556 i dont hate them i just dont like them

we still need the reasons why.

cmonn makeittwerk q8 isn't electric so it doesn't blow anything. Let's wait for etron to come out then talk.

@@eventusvantos2770 prototipe of e tron is already out and its so much better then this...

Q8 is not electric ⚡️

Eventus Vantos Either way the eqc is ugly

cmonn makeittwerk no, it’s not. It will be launched next week in S.F. What you might have seen are mule cars and preproduction cars in disguise with design elements subject to change.

would be awesome, maybe in the future ?

Can't have a 63 AMG without a V8.

That is because this car is build on the old petrol car platform due to cost savings ☹️. It even has a transmission tunnel in the interior.

@@MrAstralopitekus Not actually. It is a modfied version of the platform. It was designed from the beginning to ALSO be pure electric.

Its because they use the same production line as with their normal SUVs. That

totoIV yes but all this translates in les interior and cargo space plus a long bonnet

@@cretumarius9616 A long bonnet does not determine the production line it's built on. Why must it have a snub nosed bonnet? Or none at all? It'd look wierd. Like the model x look wierd and egg like. Plus this provides better safety as it has a bigger crumple zone. And the space is more than sufficient for this class of SUV.

If that's what makes you choose an overpriced poorly made tesla over another electric car well then shame. Just shame. Now words for you. A frunk? Lol really?

In the UK would that be called a Froot 😆

Tbh whoever came up with the words "trunk" and "boot" for the rear storage area of a car has something to explain XD

What the fuck is a 'frunk'? And the mercedes has a far better build quality and reliability

The Mercedes doesnt have a frunk because Mercedes developed the Electric Motor in a way that they can use the same robots and machines as they use on their ICE cars. They basically dont have to make a new production process. Thats why they dont have a frunk and instead the front motor is shaped like a traditional engine

Dude quit calling the lords name in vain. Have some respect about yourself!

They'll probably sell more of these in 2019 than all Teslas made thus far.

More than 300,000? I highly doubt it. I will agree with you that Mercedes will probably sell this thing well, if only because people care about a badge. :-)

And the issue with a transmission tunnel is? Alot of manufacturers will use it for bigger battery versions. That space is usable and not needed inside the vehicle.

They probably have all their cables in that tunnel. Could also be cooling parts.

This car has already beat tesla with better build quality and reliability

Charge time doesn't matter since you charge overnight you only need enough range for road trips enough that one lunch break is enough for charging

Smurkitz because they don’t rely on the past.

Haha. What tesla is good looking? Not the model x. That's basically an egg with a face. The model s and 3? Both generic. No style whatsoever.

@@SDav21 If the Model X looks like an egg then this mercedes is a crusched egg.

@@Smurkitz No. You see. Because the model x actually looks like an egg. At least the EQC looks like an SUV. Not an egg shaped minivan ala model x.

Styling is completely subjective, there is no point debating about it. Having said that, I find Model X lot better looking from the outside compared to Mercedes. Audi is better though. I hate that Mercedes relied on fake grills and fake exhausts and a fake engine shape under the hood, it doesn't make any sense.

Model x looks a lot cleaner

@@hsvr model x looks like a mini van with a melted face

Everything looks better than the Model X. That thing is ugly af.

Nah now you just being silly, thing is ugly

i have to agreed . somehow this EQC looks fresher compared to the X . this EQC looks more like a real suv intead of a pigeon wing fat pig .

right, because Jag is owned by Tata

@@therambler3713 does it matter who owns jaguar?

R W Yip. Imagine the Germans bragging about how VW is the pride of der Deutschland when we both know some Mexican company owns it.

wait till you see the jag in person. I can guarantee you that you will puke.

The Rambler what do you mean by "some Mexican company owns it" ?

Tesla 2nd! are you nuts?

Audi I pace Tesla Merc

You must be deluded if you think tesla's build quality and reliability is better than mercedes'

Tesla model s with 643,737 km, real world driving - www.tesloop.com/blog/2018/7/16/tesloops-tesla-model-s-surpasses-400000-miles-643737-kilometers The detailed costs and maintenance seem reasonable. Can this Mercedes surpass those numbers? Also, can the Mercedes surpass the tech, the speed, the power, the auto pilot of a Tesla?

Tesla is made with parts from Mercedes

Shifter and Wiper Stalks, Steering Column, Front Seat Controls, Window Switches... not exactly things that go a long way to prove that the model s's reliability (or not) is down to it using Mercedes parts.

JP that example is an outlier. Look at the average and cost of maintance to get there then you will see how bad Tesla is!

they're building dozens of charging stations every year as we speak

You know how many people use SUV's as around town vehicles? lol

Rennie Ash 90% of the time I drive suvs in town, but I wouldn’t buy one if it can’t handle the 10% when I want to do a weekend getaway.

The Rambler car=freedom, how free do you feel if the only place you can go are places that Mercedes allows you to go?

@YX Yang; In Europe there are more than 5100 CCS chargers to charge the car.

I agree !

GS 15 Mercedes sold their shares years ago and they only invested $50 M

GS 15 Lol you are SO wrong and you get likes for it. Face palm

tesla is going down unless they sell out fast. they failed for the last time by now.

13thmistral they might as well become a niche car maker like Pagaani or get bought out by Mercedes and become like Smart car . They should forget mass production
