Most Helpful Review

Little expensive

It's very fun to drive a car and feature loaded and not comfortable as Maybach it would be good if they offered a 700 km range on a charge which was better at this price point or they have to make a cheap plug-in hybrid which goes upto 300 km like foreign it would have better if they made that . Eqc does not give a driving feel of gasoline or diesel

BMW cars an brand of world

You know bmw is the brand of world.. This car is a luxury car of BMW In this car looks are very hard from other BMW series . . you parches this BMW when you have high-voltage money in his account
