Mercedes-Benz offers four exclusive EVs in its portfolio, but none of them resembles this rendering of a 2025 Mercedes EQC electric car. It’s more similar to the style of the EQXX and is by design since the 2025 Mercedes EQC hasn’t yet had a confirmation from Mercedes but at the time that rumors say that it will be launched, the automaker will have shifted to a brand new look.
The sketch is based on numerous unnamed insider reports that claim that a 2025 Mercedes EQC is on the way and that prototypes have already been tested (although it’s been a while since we’ve seen anything but the next-generation EQC SUV and it’s not a sedan). It is also believed that the three-box EQC draws heavily on the EQXX’s design. This makes it distinguish it from EQE or EQS sedans, which are similar to one another.
2025 Mercedes EQC Sedan Review
The foundation of the 2025 Mercedes EQC is not the EVA platform that underpins the EVA platform that powers both the EQE and EQS however. This is the first model built on the brand new MMA “Entry Luxury” platform which the manufacturer will utilize to support models that are comparable to the current ICE model. It will be based on the ICE EV products (the EQA and EQB) and also slightly larger models of the C-Class.
This prototype of the EQXX was designed as a prototype for the future of what could be built using the MMA platform. In reality, the length of the EQXX’s tail could fool you into thinking that it’s larger than it is. The dimension measures 4.63 meters (182.3 inches) and its wheelbase is only 2.8 meters (110 inches) which is shorter than the present C-Class. The front of the car shown in the rendering isn’t modeled on the EQXX However, it is a close resemblance. The Mercedes-AMG Electric’s concept heavily influences the design. Incredibly, the car was designed to test an underlying platform, the AMG.EA structure which is unique to AMG.
From the side, it’s not as elegant as the EQXX however, that’s because it was designed with plenty of space for passengers, which means the greenhouse sits slightly relative to the rest of the vehicle. The three-box 2025 Mercedes EQC is expected to be launched around the mid-year period as a direct challenger for the Tesla Model 3. Tesla Model 3, but with a more excellent range. It could end up being one of the most significant electrical Mercedes models, and a direct competition to the 3 Series. BMW Neue Klasse EV sedan will also be available in 2025.
New Design
According to a report from Automotive News on May 23, 2023, North American dealers and individuals with a stake in the future of Mercedes-Benz have looked at this 2025 Mercedes EQC predecessor. It’s expected to sport an elegant and refined design as compared to its predecessor, which suggests the evolution of style. A dealer has described an agent described the Mercedes GLC Electric as sporting an elongated front and rear which emphasizes its crossover appearance in a way that is more striking than the EQC.
This is logical from the perspective of a planner’s point of view considering that a conventional SUV, which is referred to in the form of Mini G-Class Electric/GLG, is being planned for 2026, and could fall into the same segment of price. The two versions of GLC have found a compromise between the modern characteristics of a crossover as well as the traditional features of an SUV. These are a major reason for their popularity.
Battery, Charging & Range
The next-generation 2025 Mercedes EQC could come to the U.S. with a lithium-ion battery pack with the capacity to store energy of 100 kWh, enough to provide an EPA-est. range of approximately 325 miles. The brand new EQC SUV may receive Mercedes-Benz Group’s latest generation of batteries which will be more energy efficient. The company plans to release batteries that have an energy density that could reach 800 Wh/l within the next years. It’s a significant leap over its present technology which sits at 500 Wh/l.
The onboard charger can accommodate alternating current of up to 11-22kW. Competition will likely pressure Mercedes-Benz to utilize batteries that have higher voltages of approximately 800 volts, which will allow the highest DC charge input to be more than the present version (110 kW) and possibly at least 270 kW. A 10-80% charge session could last only 20 minutes. 800 Volts of system voltage provides numerous advantages, such as lower charging times, greater performance, as well as less cable weight and installation space. One of the most significant benefits for 2025 Mercedes EQC customers would be the ultra-fast charging.
2025 Mercedes EQC Sedan Release Date & Price
In the earlier Automotive News report, the Mercedes GLC Electric will arrive in 2024. The report may be referring to the vehicle’s world premiere, which is usually scheduled a few months before the beginning of production. Although Mercedes-Benz needs to build GLC Electric in North America, they don’t have to manufacture GLC Electric in North America to allow buyers from the U.S. to be eligible for federal tax credits the report doesn’t provide details on this issue.
If we take the official announcement of Mercedes-Benz Group CEO Ola Kallenius the model that is the Tesla Model Y rival from Germany will be launched in 2024 before going to the market in the first markets which include those in the U.S., in 2025. This EQE SUV, which is the low-spec version is an interim solution until the next-generation 2025 Mercedes EQC is available in 2025 for the American market.
