Mercedes EQC - internal volume test. Second place right behind the Audi e-tron! [video]

Bjorn Nyland tested the Mercedes EQC 400 in terms of interior volume while driving. The car lost only to the Audi e-tron, and won over the Tesla Model X or Jaguar I-Pace. In its measurements, one of the weakest results was achieved with the Tesle Model 3.

According to Bjorn Nyland's measurements, noise in the Mercedes EQC cabin (summer tires, dry surface) depending on the speed:

• 61 dB for 80 km / h,
• 63,5 dB for 100 km / h,
• 65,9 dB at 120 km / h.

For comparison, the leader of the rating, inside the Audi e-tron (winter tires, wet) YouTuber recorded these values. Audi was better:

• 60 dB for 80 km / h,
• 63 dB for 100 km / h,
• 65,8 dB at 120 km / h.

Tesla Model X ranked third (winter tires, dry surface) looks noticeably weaker:

• 63 dB for 80 km / h,
• 65 dB for 100 km / h,
• 68 dB at 120 km / h.

The next places were taken by Jaguar I-Pace, VW e-Golf, Nissan Leaf 40 kWh, Tesla Model S Long Range AWD Performance, Kia e-Niro and even Kia Soul Electric (until 2020). Among the Tesla Model 3, the best result was shown by the Tesla Model 3 Long Range Performance (summer tires, dry road), which had:

• 65,8 dB for 80 km / h,
• 67,6 dB for 100 km / h,
• 68,9 dB at 120 km / h.

Nyland noticed that there is no very high noise (squeal) from the inverter inside the Mercedes EQC. It can be heard in many other electric vehicles, including the Audi e-tron or Jaguar I-Pace, but not in the Mercedes EQC.

It is worth noting that smaller wheels and winter tires usually guarantee lower noise levels inside the cabin than summer tires. This is interesting because winter tires are most often described as making more noise - while the softer rubber compound used in them and noise-reducing sipes should actually produce less noise.
