E-Tron, I-Pace, EQC... 3 electric SUVs looking to make their mark in SA | Wheels24
There's a silent race brewing between Europe's luxury automakers.
The aim is to establish a footprint in the electric vehicle SUV market, and in 2019 is where it's all come to a head. In South Africa, the only pure EV SUV on sale is the Jaguar I-Pace, which we drove in February. It has a claimed range of 400km after being fully charged. Around the same time, Mercedes-Benz brought in a prototype of their electric SUV, the EQC, to South Africa for the motoring press to have a poke around. The EQC will arrive in the second half of 2019.
Also featured is the new Audi E-Tron, a Q5-sized EV, slated to make its local debut in the final quarter of 2019.
