Comfort.

Enjoy contactless operating comfort: this innovative system detects and interprets your hand and arm movements. This means you can activate selected functions in a matter of seconds. For example to call up your personal favourites menu: simply make a "V" with your index and middle fingers. The system is able to differentiate between driver and front passenger – so that you reach precisely the menus you wish to use.

"Hey Mercedes." This is how you launch the natural voice control system. It responds to almost every word. The system can even process indirect speech – the climate control for example will respond to "I feel cold", for example, and increase the temperature setting. In the EQC you can also programme charging via LINGUATRONIC online voice control e.g. "charge to 85 percent", or ask about the range. The voice control is capable of learning, is constantly updated and even understands dialects.

MBUX offers you maximum freedom to control numerous functions in the way most comfortable for you. With intuitive touch control, for example. The new EQC comes with the option of a multimedia display with touchscreen, while the centre console includes an integral touchpad that responds to single and multiple-finger gestures as well as handwriting. And you can even apply all important settings via the Touch Control buttons on the steering wheel without having to take your hands off the wheel.

Every EQC cockpit will probably look different because of maximum individualisation. You can arrange and design the displays in the instrument cluster according to your own personal tastes. There are three display styles available for visual appearance: Modern Classic, Sport and Electric Art with informative colour changes.

Smartphone Integration merges the mobile phone with the infotainment system via Apple CarPlay™ and Android Auto. This gives you convenient access to the most important apps on your smartphone. You can also use apps from third-party service providers such as Spotify quickly and easily.

Driving time becomes charging time. Optionally, you can have an inductive charging surface in the centre console. You can conveniently leave your smartphone here and charge it wirelessly**.

To check your own mobility behaviour, activate the automatic tracking function in the EQ Ready App – your trips will then be tracked and evaluated automatically.

Numerous criteria, including velocity, acceleration, and stop times, are used to analyse an individual’s driving behaviour. Additionally, the app measures environmental parameters such as temperature and elevation profile.

The results are based on the driver’s specific usage profile, analysing not only a single journey but also the actual driving profile. After having checked with the EQ Ready app, drivers know exactly whether their desired destination can be reached by an EV as well.

With EQ Predict the user is able to calculate routes in advance including the energy demand and the individual battery consumption. The energy calculation for the chosen trip is based on historical traffic data and, as a result, speed profiles on the specific roads. Furthermore, relevant charging possibilities are recommended along the trip.
