Mercedes-Benz EQC vs. Jaguar I-Pace vs. Tesla Model X: How they compare on paper

The

Mercedes-Benz

EQ line is officially alive and kicking, with the

reveal of the EQC

electric

crossover

. It joins a segment that, while still in its infancy, seems ready to take off.

Mercedes

lists as the EQC’s competitors the

Jaguar

I-Pace, The

Audi

E-Tron Quattro and the

BMW

iX3.

While we’ve seen all of these, at least in concept or pre-production form, only one — the Jag — has actually been launched in production form. We’ve seen a concept and subsequent

spy shots

of the iX3, and the Audi EV will get its official specs publicized later this month. One electric SUV Mercedes didn’t specifically call out was the

Tesla Model X

.

As such, we’ve decided to compare on paper the Mercedes-Benz EQC 400, the Jaguar I-Pace S and the Tesla Model X 75D:

All three are dual-motor

EVs

, though the

Tesla

is the longest and tallest. The EQC has the most power, but it and the

Model X’s

4.9-second 0-60 times fall short of the I-Pace. It also has the lowest top speed and electric driving range. We’ll be interested to see how much the Mercedes weighs.

Mercedes hasn’t divulged the price of the EQC yet, but we imagine it’ll fall pretty near to the $70,000 mark. As for Audi, we’ll revisit this comparison after those details are made available on September 17.

If you’re interested in some other EV comparisons, we have a couple others that we published to compare the

I-Pace to premium Teslas

, as well as

against other less-expensive EVs

. If you want to learn more about these EVs, and compare them with other cars, be sure to check out our
