Brabus is a well-known name within the world of souped-up Mercedes-Benz models – they are doing everything from the tiny smart car to the massive GLS SUV. Currently, they’ve tackled their initial all-electric vehicle from the Three-Pointed Star, the EQC SUV, and their modifications to improve the vehicle’s sporting credentials.
The main issue Brabus has done to the EQC is boosting its power and torque figures. The previous rises from 402 to 416 HP, whereas the latter improves by a greater margin, rising from 760 Nm (560 pound-feet) to 830 Nm (612 pound-feet); these gains return courtesy of the Brabus E-PowerXtra kit, and therefore the additional shove is only accessible once the vehicle is put in the Sport mode.
With greater power and torque come improved performance numbers, and in line with Brabus, the EQC’s sprint time from standstill to 100 km/h drops from the standard 5.1 seconds to 4.9 seconds. The modifications don’t increase its top speed, though, that remains 180 km/h (112 mph).
Brabus will change the method the EQC looks, due to a set of new bumpers and side skirts, but as of right now, solely the rear spoiler is ready (and visible on the vehicle within the official photos). It additionally features a cool wrap that drives the point that it’s an electrical home, however, we tend to presume this is often just designed to make this poster vehicle for the new performance pack stand out more; it may or may not be accessible for customers to order.
The wheels you see on the vehicle within the photos are already on the market, though, and they are available 20- or 21-inch sizes. As for the inside, if you’re familiar with Brabus, then you almost certainly know the wide scope for customization that the allows for – buyers can go crazy if they opt for, or they can keep it low-key and shut to factory specification.
All EQCs tuned by Brabus will get B-branded, illuminated sill guards, still as a different design for the digital instrument cluster, tailored door lock pins, and aluminum pedals. Pricing data has not yet been unconcealed as a result of the E-PowerXtra kit is still being tested.
