New Delhi: Mercedes-Benz has reopened bookings for the second batch of its all-electric SUV, the EQC. The next batch of the EQC will start arriving from October 2021 onwards. The German luxury carmaker Mercedes Benz on Thursday said it will start selling its all-electric SUV EQC across all dealerships in India under the phase II expansion strategy.

Mercedes-Benz India had launched the EQC in 2020 and was until now available in six select cities across 14 locations. The company said it has also re-opened bookings from Thursday for the next batch of EQCs, having sold out the first batch after the vehicle was launched in October 2020 at a starting price of Rs 99.3 lakh.

"Mercedes-Benz (India) dealers across the 50 cities and 94 locations, will be equipped with EQC trained manpower and equipment to offer a hassle free ownership experience for the EQC owners," the company said in a statement. Mercedes-Benz India Managing Director and CEO Martin Schwenk said, "Pioneering the luxury EV market in India with the EQC was an important decision for us and a step taken in the right direction. With the growing customer demand for the EQC, we are now expanding our EV penetration to 50 Indian cities, covering our entire retail network spread." This will enable more customers across Indian cities to own the EQC and join the transition to luxury e-mobility, he added.
