Having a motor for both the front and rear axle mean the EQC is four-wheel drive, so there is lots of grip on slippery roads and should also be pretty handy off-road. You can even use it to carry luggage of up to 1,800 Kgs in weight, a task that the EQC should manage easily thanks to its sizable 765 nm of pulling power (torque).
