“We were the first to revolutionize individual mobility. The EQC now once again marks a new era in mobility. An era in which electric mobility is reliable, simple and at the same time exciting,” says Britta Seeger, Member of the Board of Management of Daimler AG responsible for Mercedes-Benz Cars Sales.

Exclusive appeal, high-quality looks

The EQC Edition 1886 is available exclusively in metallic high-tech silver. Carefully coordinated elements on the exterior and interior are among the optional extras for the EQC Edition 1886. The black panel radiator grille, with high-gloss black louvres and edging, ensures a particularly exclusive character on the exterior. Further individual features include the high-gloss black badge with special EQC Edition 1886 lettering on the fender and the 10-spoke 20-inch light-alloy wheels in high-gloss black with white decorative elements.

The exclusive appeal continues in the interior with new seat designs upholstered in ARTICO man-made leather/ DINAMICA microfibre in indigo blue and black. The seat backrests are embroidered with special EQC Edition 1886 lettering. The lettering can also be found as a badge on the centre console. The attention to detail carries through to trim elements in silver matrix as well as the floor mats with the “EQC” embroidery.

ENERGIZING package ensures individual feel-good atmosphere

The EQC Edition 1886 boasts outstanding driving assistance systems for the highest level of safety and driving comfort. The vehicle also comes with ENERGIZING comfort controller, which combines various systems in the car, from the lighting mood to the fragrancing and ionization of the air, to create an optimal environment and keep the user fresh and vitalized. The ENERGIZING COACH uses data from the vehicle and its surroundings to recommend one of the ENERGIZING programs that best fits the situation and the individual. For example, variables like the traffic situation, weather and length of the journey, are included in the assessment to provide a recommended program. In addition, the system can take into account data on the driver’s current well-being by pairing the driver’s Garmin® wearables (smartwatches/fitness trackers).

Charging: Flexible and fast

Like every EQC, the EQC Edition 1886 has a water-cooled on-board charger (OBC) with an output of 7.4 kW and is therefore ready for charging with alternating current (AC) at home and at public charging stations.

Charging at a Level 2 Charger is up to three times faster than at a domestic power socket. It is even faster with DC charging, which is standard for the EQC, with a suitable market-specific plug. Depending on the SoC (status of charge), the EQC can be charged with a maximum output of up to 110 kW at an appropriate charging station.

Special remote and navigation services are also available for the EQC Edition 1886, as is the digital charging service Mercedes me Charge, which gives access to a number of public charging stations.

The EQC Edition 1886 will be available in Canada in early 2020. Click the Register for Info button below to arrange a thorough tour and road test when inventory arrives.
