Which one to choose between EQC and SAIC Audi e-tron?
3 Answers
Both models are electric vehicles, and you can make a comprehensive consideration based on the following introduction. Mercedes-Benz EQC: Equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system composed of two asynchronous motors at the front and rear, with a maximum total power of 300kW and a maximum total torque of 730Nm, matched with a fixed gear ratio transmission, the 0-100km/h acceleration time is 5.1 seconds. SAIC Audi Q5 e-tron: The Audi e-tron is also equipped with a full-time four-wheel drive system composed of two asynchronous motors at the front and rear, with a total power of 300kW and a total torque of 664Nm, matched with a 2-speed automatic transmission, achieving a 0-100km/h acceleration time of 5.7 seconds. It offers the space experience of a C-class SUV. The total energy of the power battery is 83.4kWh, consistent with the high-end models of the ID.4 and ID.6 series, and the new vehicle can achieve a range of over 560km under the CLTC-P new national standard.
I usually commute with an electric vehicle, so daily comfort is a key factor when choosing a car. After driving the EQC, I found its seats provide excellent support, and the suspension filters bumps superbly, making long drives fatigue-free. The e-tron offers more space, but the slightly higher noise levels during driving can be a mood killer. Both have decent charging times, reaching around 70-80% in an hour, and with plenty of charging stations in the city now, it's quite convenient. If you frequently drive on highways, the EQC's 400+ km range is reliable. Overall, Mercedes-Benz offers more stable quality.
From a technical perspective, the e-tron's powertrain is more impressive, with a fierce 4.5-second acceleration and refined quattro control. The EQC has a slightly smaller battery capacity, and its range drops faster in summer, though its charging curve remains stable. Hardware-wise, Audi's electric drive module is more updated, leading in fast-charging technology, while Mercedes' driving assistance details are finely tuned. It's recommended to test drive to experience the acceleration and steering feedback.
