An electric evening at Mercedes-Benz of Taunton

As the sun set over the Mercedes-Benz of Taunton showroom, preparations were being made for an electric festive gathering. The showroom wowed with balloon arches and a tall, glistening Christmas tree.  As guests arrived they were welcomed with a warming glass of (non-alcoholic) mulled wine accompanied with a range of nibbles and mince pies. Guests began to mingle and had the chance to take in the sheer beauty of the interior and exterior design of the EQC.

The Mercedes-Benz EQC

With the climate emergency on everyone’s mind, Mercedes-Benz is proud to present the EQC to help reduce your carbon footprint. Electric cars not only provide a green alternative but also have the benefits of minimised running costs, a calmer, noise reduced journey and sharper acceleration. The EQC is the happy medium of an SUV, and is based on our GLC model with a coupé design. The interior is designed for comfort and style, with stand-out rose gold styling. The technology of the EQC extends beyond just the impeccable electric drive. The EQC is fitted with MBUX, a smart infotainment system. This intelligent system uniquely adapts to the user, storing your previous destinations, favourite music, comfort settings as well as dashboard and display preferences. The MBUX system familiarises itself with your routine and choices by learning your frequently used settings and curates them into a suggestions shortcut and makes suggestions based on your previous habits. Even if you share your car there is no reason to worry as all of these settings can also be saved into a profile, allowing you to easily transfer preferences between users. Read our full product profile of the EQC Lorraine, our Business Development Manager, experienced the EQC herself this week and said “I drove the EQC yesterday and I was very impressed with the advanced technology in the vehicle and how smooth the car is. It is lovely and quiet, really stylish vehicle and I am so impressed with the Plus Mode on the paddle shifts which gives you optimised charging when driving. In Plus Mode you only have to accelerate as the car will do the braking for you! This vehicle is also very beneficial for company car tax & tax allowances; it is worth companies having a chat about the great benefits.” If you would like to enquire further please contact your Local Business Development Manager for more information: Mercedes-Benz of Exeter & Taunton – Lorraine Lane on 01823 447501 or [email protected] Mercedes-Benz of Plymouth – Rick Metcalfe on 01752 720122 or [email protected] Mercedes-Benz of Truro – Sarah Hughes on 01872 520916 or [email protected]
