The EQC electric car will be a main focus on the Mercedes-Benz stand at next week's Paris Motor Show, writes Brian Byrne.
It will be the first of a range of electric cars under the EQ brand. The EQ Silver Arrow show car on the stand will be an emotive signpost to the future of design within the sub-brand.
Other debuts at Paris will be the new B-Class compact sports tourer, and the new GLE SUV (above) which is the latest version of the best-selling SUV in Mercedes-Benz history.
The A-Class Sedan is also making its debut at a motor show. It represents the compact point of entry into the world of premium saloons from Mercedes-Benz.
