Mercedes EQC interior
The Mercedes EQC’s interior looks and feels fantastic, which combined with its silent operation really creates a sense of luxury. It also has a fantastic infotainment system that visually impressive and easy to use.
Style
The Mercedes EQC doesn’t look or feel radically different from any other Mercedes on sale. Sure, you get some neon-blue details and a set of square air vents in place of the round turbine-like items in most Mercedes cars, but the metal switches on the centre console and dual-screen infotainment system look just like those in the GLC.
There are also some different materials than you’ll find in Mercedes’ traditional SUVs, such as a rubberised finish on the dash, but the overall sense of quality is extremely high. The EQC’s air vents and switches also feel chunky and well-made, plus the use of chrome and piano black brings a sense of traditional class to this otherwise futuristic cabin.

Infotainment
The EQC’s infotainment system is very easy to use, and actually edges out the systems in the Audi e-tron and Jaguar I-Pace for general intuitiveness. The central display works as a touchscreen, but there’s also a touchpad on the centre console and some touch-sensitive buttons on the steering wheel which makes it easier to sift through the high-resolution menus when you’re driving.
The system’s party piece, however, is the ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice-control feature which understands commands said in plain English. It lets you adjust the cabin temperature, change the mood lighting and set the standard sat-nav without moving your hands at all. Sure, it can be a little temperamental, but it’s leaps and bounds ahead of the voice-control systems in the likes of the Jaguar I-Pace, Audi e-tron and Tesla Model X.
