Facts&Figures: 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQC400 AMG Line 4MATIC now in Malaysia, est RM390,000



Mercedes-Benz Malaysia has announced yet another first of its kind today, the first-ever, fully-electric EQC now available in our country as the EQC400 AMG Line, starting from an estimated RM390,000. The Mercedes-Benz EQS450+ was also launched today, from RM698,888, alongside the EQB350 4MATIC from an estimated RM330,000.

The EQS450+ may be the grandest EQ model introduced today, but the EQC is actually the first fully electric production vehicle by Mercedes-Benz.

The EQC400 indicates its electric nature upon arrival with blue lighting on its headlights equipped with Multibeam LED technology. At the rear, the tailgate is struck through with a taillight strip that stretches from one side to the other. Like the EQS, the EQC400 weighs close to 2.5-tonnes as well – probably heavier if it weren’t for the modular-designed battery pack weighing 655 kg.

The EQC400 gets its power from two electric motors, one in the front and rear, to drive all four wheels. The electric motors get their power from an 80 kWh battery, capable of returning up to 437 km of electric driving range.

With 11kW AC charging, it takes approximately 7.5 hours to fully charge the EQC although with 110 kW DC fast charging, it’ll take just 40 minutes to get the EQC up to 80% charged.

You get a horseshoe-like dashboard that extends into the textured door panels. Take a closer look and you’d also notice that the air vent design is different from current Mercedes-Benz vehicles.
