Brabus Puts Mods onto Mercedes EQC

Brabus Puts Mods Onto Mercedes EQC














This year Brabus has put all the modifications onto the Mercedes Benz EQC the 5 seater luxury electric SUV crossover in ticking all the relevant boxes on how a Brabus should be. This particular version is the 1886 eddition so inside you can see the 1886 stiching on the seats since thats where Mercedes Benz started back then. It is suprising to see an electric car being all juiced up by Brabus as we know TESLA unplugged also tunes Tesla cars but does not interfere with the engine whereas Brabus does play around with the engine to ehnance power and torque which they have done successfully but not too much since it is electric and to prevent the batteries from over heating though. The Brabus EQC is a normal Mercedes EQC which you can use it on a daily basis since it has seating for 5 people, a big boot to fit many things and all the latest Mercedes Benz technology to make everyday driving much more sophisticated. 

Brabus has also played around with the engine where this car used to develop 406HP from an 80kw battery pack which Brabus increased the power to 422HP which is not a huge difference however torque figuration has taken a leep since measuring 760NM before now it measures 830NM of torque with the Brabus Powerxtra kit insallted onto the Brabus EQC. Which therefore this car is now measuring the same power as a standard BMW M4 but with 5 seats and so much space in the boot 422HP for a electric Mercedes SUV is quite powerful. 

With that powerxtra kit installed onto the Brabus EQC the spring to 60mph has been improved since the stock EQC would get to 60mph in 5.1 seconds and now with the Brabus kit now stands at 4.8 seconds to 60mph even though it isnt a huge drop but there is a change. Whats not changed is the top speed since it is only an 80KW battery back Brabus couldnt change this since it was from Mercedes EQ so the size of the battery had to remain the same size which therefore the top speed doesnt play any effect what so ever as it will still limit at 118mph which is fairly slow but you'd get their quicker with the improved 0-60mph time. 

The Brabus EQC isnt a very cheap car to afford well all Brabus cars arent Cheap. Taking the Mercedes Benz EQC will set you back at £78,000 which is quite a lot for an electric SUV taking Tesla Model X at £50,000 which is faster than the EQC. However the Brabus EQC stands at a price of £110,000 which for an electric car is quite expensive especially with an 80KW battery pack and a range of 280miles it isnt that worthy of being a true electric car and with a lower top speed it wont batter all sports cars. Whats on the bright side is that the Brabus is still going to get the latest technology from MBUX so you can talk to the car while driving so you dont have to take your hands off the wheel.
