The Mercedes EQC is well and truly history
The British magazine AutoExpress has reported that the EQC has disappeared from the Mercedes range. The EQC is no longer listed on the manufacturer’s website – we could not find it on either the German or British Mercedes websites. A Mercedes-Benz spokesperson confirmed the end of the EQC when asked by electrive.
There were already rumours in 2022 that production of the EQC in Bremen would end in 2023 – at the time, Mercedes did not want to comment on “speculations about future model series and their planning.” But that was precisely what happened. “Production of the EQC ended as planned in the second quarter of 2023,” the Mercedes spokesperson told electrive.
The models that could still be ordered after production had ended stock vehicles. According to the blog MB Passion, there was still a 24 per cent discount on available stock vehicles at the beginning of the year. These are now probably all sold out, making the EQC history.
However, it is still unclear what will happen with the EQC model name. For a long time, it was assumed that Mercedes would use the abbreviation for an electric C-Class and rename the successor to the first EQC the EQC SUV, in line with the two larger model series. Mercedes has already abandoned the EQ designation for the electric G-Class. The model is sold as the G 580 with EQ technology and not as the EQG 580, so it is unclear what the future mid-range models with electric drive will be called.
