The U.S. launch of the EQC may have been delayed yet again, but on the other side of the pond Mercedes-Benz has extended its range with two new variants, the EQC 400 4Matic and the EQC 400 4Matic AMG Line. The new base model of Mercedes‘ electric crossover is listed from € 66,068.80 (US$ 80,134) in Germany, including tax but excluding government incentives, whereas the sportier version has a recommended retail price of € 73,208.80 (US$ 88,794).

eponymous package, which features a black grille with chrome details, specific
front apron, glossy black inserts, functional Air Curtains, wider rear apron,
nonfunctional air outlets, black diffuser with chrome trim, side mirror casings
