About the Mercedes-Benz EQC-Class

The EQC was Mercedes-Benz's first dedicated electric SUV, derived from the GLC platform. It was produced from 2019 to 2024, and you’ll find it as a Mid-size electric SUV. Assembly happened at: Bremen, Germany.

As an SUV, the EQC-Class VIN also tells you about drivetrain configuration (including 4MATIC all-wheel drive) and option packages such as the Off-Road Engineering Package.

A few things worth knowing about the EQC-Class

The EQC was Mercedes-Benz's first dedicated electric SUV, launched in 2019 and discontinued in 2024 after weaker-than-expected sales. The EQC was never officially sold in the United States; planned US launch was cancelled in 2020 due to limited battery supply and the introduction of the dedicated EQS and EQE platforms.

How to decode a Mercedes-Benz EQC-Class VIN

Every Mercedes-Benz VIN built since 1981 follows the ISO 3779 standard. That gives you 17 alphanumeric characters split into three blocks: the World Manufacturer Identifier (positions 1 to 3), the Vehicle Descriptor Section (positions 4 to 9) and the Vehicle Identifier Section (positions 10 to 17). Here’s what each chunk tells you about your EQC-Class.

Positions 1 to 3: World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI)

W1N is the standard WMI prefix for EQC.

Positions 4 to 8: Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS)

N293 chassis code is encoded in VDS positions 4 to 8.

Position 9: Check Digit

The check digit comes from a weighted sum of the other 16 characters. Think of it as a self-validating control. If you mistype any single character on your EQC-Class VIN, the check digit won’t match and the VIN is flagged as invalid.

Position 10: Model Year

Position 10 tells you the model year using a rolling alphanumeric scheme. A quick Mercedes-Benz cheat sheet: S = 1995, Y = 2000, 5 = 2005, A = 2010, F = 2015, L = 2020, P = 2023, R = 2024, S = 2025, T = 2026.

Position 11: Assembly Plant

Position 11 is typically 'F' (Bremen, Germany).

Positions 12 to 17: Production Sequence Number

The final six digits are the unique serial number stamped on your specific EQC-Class as it rolled off the assembly line.

Mercedes-Benz EQC-Class engine codes

Over the years the EQC-Class has been offered with the following engine families: Dual electric motors (front + rear), 408 hp / 765 Nm; 80 kWh battery. Mercedes-Benz engine codes follow a tight naming convention. The letter ‘M‘ denotes a petrol/gasoline engine (think M256, M177, M139), while ‘OM‘ (Oel-Motor) flags a diesel (OM651, OM654, OM656 and so on). Want to know exactly which engine sits under your EQC-Class? Decode the VIN above. VDS positions 4 to 8 will give you the exact engine variant.
