The much-awaited EQC Electric SUV will be the
next product from Mercedes-Benz in the Indian market. The EV is expected to be
launched in the country by the next couple of weeks.
The upcoming EQC will
be Mercedes-Benzs first electric offering for India
After launching the new
GLS flagship SUV, Mercedes-Benz India is now eyeing to launch its first
electric car - the EQC - in the country. The Stuttgart-based carmaker
is expected to launch the EV in the next couple of weeks. Initially revealed in
Sweden in 2018, the highly awaited Mercedes-Benz EQC was expected to be
launched in India towards the end of the last year. But, the EV was not
launched in India last year. Later, the company announced its plans to launch
the same by April this year, which also got delayed due to coronavirus
pandemic. Nevertheless, the carmaker is all set to launch its first luxury
electric SUV in India soon.
Mercedes-Benz introduced the EQ brand
in India in January
Speaking
to Siddharth Vinayak Patankar, Editor-In-Chief, carandbike after
the launch of the GLS, Santosh Iyer, Vice President - Sales &
Marketing, Mercedes-Benz India said, "We are committed to the EQC
launch in India. It is now a matter of time we get the cars in our ports and
then we can launch it. It is a matter of a couple of weeks, but maybe the end
of July, August is somewhere where we see how fast we can get this. That's our
next initiative, we want to get everything right when we launch an electric
car. It's a full package and it's an ecosystem by itself. So, it's not just a
car launch, but how we can take care of the entire EV ecosystem, what we can do
at that point in time. The teams are working, I think it is a matter of a
couple of more weeks and then we should be there with EQC also in India."
