Mercedes-Benz EQC (EQC) is an SUV launched in 2019 by Beijing Benz, Mercedes-Benz's domestic manufacturer in China. Dimensions of Mercedes-Benz EQC: The length, width, and height of the Mercedes-Benz EQC are 4761-1884-1624mm respectively, with a wheelbase of 2873mm. These dimensions are almost identical to those of the Mercedes-Benz GLC. However, due to the inclusion of a large battery pack, the EQC is heavier than the GLC, with a total weight of 2425 kilograms, making it heavier than most of its competitors in the same class. Performance of Mercedes-Benz EQC: The Mercedes-Benz EQC is equipped with an AC asynchronous motor on both the front and rear axles, delivering a maximum power of 300kW and a maximum torque of 765Nm. It accelerates from 0 to 100km/h in 5.1 seconds. In comparison, the Tesla Model X and Jaguar I-PACE, which also feature dual motors, achieve 0-100km/h in 4.8 seconds. The NIO ES6 (Performance Edition), which is similarly priced to the EQC, accelerates in just 4.7 seconds. This shows that the Mercedes-Benz EQC does not hold an advantage in terms of performance.

I just bought a Mercedes-Benz EQC not long ago, which represents the brand's pure electric SUV model. The EQ part is actually Mercedes' newly launched electric sub-brand, standing for Electric Intelligence, emphasizing technological sophistication and environmental performance. As for the C, I guess it indicates that the vehicle size is similar to the traditional C-Class. As an owner, I find it incredibly quiet to drive, with smooth acceleration and none of the noise associated with gasoline cars, making daily commutes quite hassle-free. The only thing worth mentioning is the charging aspect—I installed a home charging station, so I usually charge it overnight, and it's fully charged by morning. However, for long trips, I need to plan the charging station locations in advance. Overall, the EQC represents Mercedes' pioneering shift toward electrification, making me feel that luxury cars can also be eco-friendly. Mercedes plans to launch more EQ models, such as the EQS and EQE, aiming to establish the entire series as the future mainstream of mobility. For us users, having more options is certainly a good thing.

Can a C2 License Drive Manual Transmission Vehicles?

A C2 driver's license does not permit the operation of manual transmission vehicles. According to Annex 1 of China's "Regulations on the Application and Use of Motor Vehicle Driver's Licenses," which outlines the permitted vehicle types and corresponding codes, the scope of a C2 license includes small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles, light and mini automatic transmission cargo vehicles, light, small, and mini automatic transmission special-purpose vehicles, and small automatic transmission vehicles designed for individuals with upper limb disabilities. Small vehicles are defined as those with a total mass of less than 4.5 tons, seating capacity not exceeding 9 people, and a length under 6 meters. Other specific requirements for a C2 driver's license are as follows: Age requirement: 18 years old and above—there is no upper age limit. Any citizen aged 18 or above can apply for a C2 driver's license. The examination process for a C2 license is the same as that for a C1 license. The C2 license examination includes: Theory Test (Subject 1), covering road signs and traffic laws; Field Driving Skills (Subject 2), such as reverse parking, parallel parking, right-angle turns, and S-curves; Road Driving Skills (Subject 3), including lighting usage and roadside parking; and Civilized Driving Theory (Subject 4), assessing the driver's awareness of safe and courteous driving. According to the "Motor Vehicle Driver's License Business Work Standards" issued by the relevant authorities, motor vehicle driver's licenses are categorized into a hierarchical system, dividing licenses into 15 levels: A1, A2, A3, B1, B2, C1, C2, C3, C4, D, E, F, M, N, and P. The permitted vehicle types for each license level are as follows: A1 license: Permits driving large passenger vehicles. A2 license: Permits driving tractor units, heavy and medium-sized full trailers, and semi-trailer combinations. A3 license: Permits driving city buses with a capacity of 10 or more passengers. B1 license: Permits driving heavy passenger vehicles. B2 license: Permits driving heavy and medium-sized cargo vehicles. C1 license: Permits driving small and mini passenger vehicles. C2 license: Permits driving small and mini automatic transmission passenger vehicles. C3 license: Permits driving low-speed cargo vehicles (originally classified as four-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). C4 license: Permits driving three-wheeled vehicles (originally classified as three-wheel agricultural transport vehicles). D license: Permits driving three-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml. E license: Permits driving two-wheeled motorcycles with an engine displacement exceeding 50ml. F license: Permits driving motorcycles with an engine displacement of 50ml or less. M license: Permits driving wheeled self-propelled machinery. N license: Permits driving trolleybuses. P license: Permits driving trams. According to Article 19 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": To drive a motor vehicle, one must legally obtain a motor vehicle driver's license. Applicants must meet the driving permit conditions stipulated by the public security department under the State Council. After passing the examination, the corresponding category of motor vehicle driver's license will be issued by the traffic management department of the public security authority. Drivers must operate vehicles strictly within the scope permitted by their license and must carry their driver's license while driving. Therefore, it is clear that both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type are illegal. As stated in the first provision of the reply from the Legislative Affairs Office of the State Council regarding the interpretation and application of the "Road Traffic Safety Law" and its implementing regulations: Driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type on the license is, in nature, equivalent to driving without a license. In terms of penalties, based on the principle of proportionality, it may be treated similarly to driving without a license but with a lighter penalty. Thus, both driving without a license and driving a vehicle that does not match the permitted vehicle type are subject to the penalties under Article 99, Paragraph 1 of the "Road Traffic Safety Law": Driving without a valid driver's license, or driving while the license is revoked or suspended, may result in a fine imposed by the public security traffic management department and may also include detention for up to 15 days.

What does the yellow wrench on the dashboard mean?

The appearance of a wrench on the dashboard is a maintenance reminder indicator for the vehicle. When the yellow wrench warning light illuminates, it serves as a prompt to the user that the vehicle is due for maintenance. Vehicle Maintenance: When this light remains illuminated for an extended period, the owner should take the vehicle to a 4S dealership for servicing. Different vehicle models from various manufacturers have varying maintenance intervals, which should be referenced in the vehicle's owner's manual. After maintenance is completed, there is a reset procedure required to turn off the maintenance reminder light. If not reset, the indicator will continue to illuminate even after maintenance has been performed. Key Points for Vehicle Maintenance: Regularly check the levels of coolant, brake fluid, and windshield washer fluid to ensure they are adequate. Coolant ensures normal vehicle operation in winter by preventing freezing, while brake fluid is an essential component of the braking system. Windshield washer fluid is used for cleaning the windshield; all these fluids must be maintained at proper levels for the vehicle to function correctly. Additionally, perform regular wheel alignment checks. As a vehicle accumulates mileage, issues such as misalignment may occur, which can hide potential hazards. It is important to promptly address these by performing a four-wheel alignment and correcting any misalignment issues quickly.

Should You Tap or Hold the Brake?

When driving at low speeds, gradually press the brake pedal. At higher speeds, first tap the brake to reduce speed before gradually pressing it down. Below is a detailed guide on the correct way to use the brake and clutch: 1. Starting Phase: Press both the brake and clutch pedals simultaneously, then shift from neutral to first gear. Slowly release the clutch until you feel the car slightly vibrate, then release the brake. If the speed is too slow, press the accelerator to increase speed while steadily releasing the clutch to complete the start. 2. Acceleration Phase: Once the vehicle gains speed, shift up appropriately. Release the brake and steadily press the clutch to shift gears, then smoothly release the clutch. Avoid pressing the accelerator while the clutch is engaged, as this increases fuel consumption. 3. Stopping Phase: When preparing to stop, press both the brake and clutch pedals simultaneously.
