Mercedes-Benz unveils the extreme EQC 4x4²
With its one-off EQC 4x4² concept, Mercedes-Benz wants to demonstrate that pure-electric vehicles can be adapted to tackle challenging off-road conditions.
Based on a regular EQC 400 4Matic, the key modifications include the fitting of portal axles which allow the hubs to be positioned lower than the axle centres. In addition, 20” wheels shod with 285/50 all-terrain tyres sit beneath prominent black arch extensions.
Consequently, ride height is increased from 140 mm (5.5”) to 293 mm (11.5”), while the fording depth becomes 400 mm (15.7”). The impressive approach, break-over and departure angles are 31.8°, 24.2° and 33.0° respectively.
Is a production version of the EQC 4x4² going to follow? That remains to be seen, but any decision will undoubtedly depend on how much demand the show car generates.
