To make things more interesting, the automaker got the car sideways, proving that despite having a fully electric powertrain, it&#8217;s not boring to drive.<\/p>\n<p>This prototype is also more camera-friendly, after dropping some of the camouflage and plastic cladding that prevented us from seeing it better last year. However, it&#8217;s apparently only a few hours away from its official presentation at the Geneva Motor Show, when the final vinyl wrap will be removed as well.<\/p>\n<p>Joining Smart&#8217;s EQ models, the ForTwo and ForFour Nightsky Edition in Switzerland, the Mercedes-Benz EQ C is about the size of the GLC. It uses an electric powertrain that&#8217;s said to combine two electric motors, probably one on each axle to provide it with all-wheel drive, backed up by a battery pack.<\/p>\n<p>The Generation EQ concept that previewed it in 2016 used a pair of electric motors too, rated at 402hp and 700Nm (516lb-ft) of torque, and a 70kWh battery.<\/p>\n<p>If that&#8217;s the recipe, the Mercedes EQ C might be able to travel for up to 500km (310miles) in between charges, thus making it suitable for much more than a daily commute.<\/p>\n<h3>VIDEO<\/h3><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Shot in Sweden, at temperatures less than 35 degrees Celsius (-31 Fahrenheit), the zero-emission SUV is being shown, in prototype form, being pushed hard on snow and ice.
