Already available for order on several European markets, the Mercedes-Benz EQC is getting ready to trek the continent’s roads and pull along the carmaker into a new era of mobility. To properly prepare the way for the car’s success, Mercedes announced this week the availability of a series of accessories it developed especially for this car.
Using its in-house-built battery (the SUV’s range stands at 471 km/292 miles), the EQC comes with more than enough range to allow for weekend escapes, so the Germans would like to see their car used for recreational purposes as well.
That means owners could go beyond the borders of their cities in search of fun and adventure with bikes, skis and so on. But since such an use requires extra gear, and given the fact the EQC is a Mercedes, it needed some factory-backed tools to carry all that extra weight.
From the usual roof rack to racks for bikes, skis and snowboards, all the needed EQC-specific parts will soon be available at dealerships and online. And there’s even a special child seat for this SUV.
“In developing the EQC, the engineering focus was not just on the innovative powertrain system, progressive design and driving dynamics, but also on configuring the electric car very consciously for everyday suitability and for long-term, hassle-free use,” the carmaker said in a statement.
“In line with this ambition, Mercedes-Benz is also presenting a wide range of accessory products that will make the EQC a dependable companion - for all sport and recreational activities, on vacation and anywhere one may be traveling with larger or specialist luggage items."
The full list of Mercedes-approved accessories for the EQC can be found in the document attached below. No prices have been announced yet.
The EQC itself starts at €71,281, being cheaper that the €79,900 Audi e-tron, €78.240 Jaguar I-Pace and €85,300 Tesla Model X.
