With Jaguar, Audi and the upstart newcomer Tesla all having electric SUVs, Mercedes didn’t want to get left out. So rather than start from scratch and build an electric car using a clean sheet like those rivals, Mercedes decided to convert one of its existing cars to use an all-electric powertrain.

In this case, it used its GLC – a mid-sized SUV – as the base. The engine was been replaced by two electric motors, one each for the front and rear wheels. An 80kWh battery has been squeezed under the floor and then the styling has been tweaked to make it look a little more special than the ‘normal’ GLC. The most noticeable change is the smoother grille and full-width LED lamps across the bonnet and bootlid.

But what is the EQC like to drive and if you're in the market for an all-electric SUV should you be considering one? Nicki Shields finds out.
