Mercedes-Benz discontinued production of its first pure electric SUV model EQC
According to the latest report from British media AutoExpress, after several years of "hard competition" with pure electric SUV models on the market, Mercedes-Benz has discontinued production of its first pure electric SUV model EQC overseas and deleted it from the company's product series. The EQC was first unveiled in 2016 as the Concept EQ and went into production in 2019.
The “oil-to-electric” conversion also led to the EQC’s “compromise” in several key aspects as an electric vehicle – a range of only 255 miles (about 410.38 kilometers), limited interior space (IT Home Note: Domestic models are 4774mm long, 1890mm wide, and 1622mm high), and a body weight of about two and a half tons.
The report said that these factors mean that when new competitors appear on the market, the EQC will be “ quickly eliminated .” In 2019, when the EQC was launched, the electric vehicle market was not as prosperous as it is today. Its main competitors were only the Audi e-tron (now Q8 e-tron), Jaguar I-Pace (to be discontinued soon), and Tesla Model X.
