The Mercedes EQC is easily the best looking Electric Vehicle currently in India with its trademark Mercedes Benz styling inside out. The Mercedes EQC is based on the 2016 EQ Concept and retains a lot of its exterior styling cues. The large glossy black grill with the huge Mercedes Benz Star logo makes for the face along with the wraparound flushed LED headlights with unique DRL strip that runs across the bootlid edge giving a unique look. The sides carry the unique EQC badges along with Flat styled alloys and silver finished aluminium running board. The rear gets slim styled LED tail lights that run across the boot lid mating over the Mercedes logo.

Step inside the cabin and you will feel home if you are a Mercedes fan, the styling of the cockpit is typical Mercedes styling with the large digital LCD ualscreen instrument cluster and center infotainment screen as seen on other models from its stable. The infotainment system uses the latest generation MBUX system and the vehicle comes loaded till the brim in terms of equipment and safety features.

Mercedes Benz will bring the EQC into India via the CBU route hence would be same as the global model in terms of styling and specifications.
