2022 Mercedes EQB electric SUV prices revealed

Mercedes releases prices and
specifications for the electric EQB seven-seat SUV.

Mercedes has revealed prices and
specifications for its seven-seat EQB SUV, an all-electric version of the
brand’s versatile GLB.

Two versions will be available
from launch. The EQB 300 4MATIC will cost £52,145 in lower-spec AMG Line
trim, while the EQB 350 4MATIC in the same trim will cost £53,645.
Higher-spec AMG Line Premium models add £3,000 to the price of each car.

Both models will feature standard
equipment that includes cruise control, auto-dimming mirrors inside and out,
parking sensors all-round plus a rear parking camera, illuminated door sills,
electrically adjustable and heated front seats, climate control and a variable
ambient-lighting package.

AMG Line models have 18-inch
alloy wheels, while AMG Line Premium models add an electrically operated
panoramic sunroof, keyless entry and go, 19-inch alloy wheels, wireless
charging for your smartphone, and more powerful sound system.

Key driver assistance technology,
such as lane-keep assist and active brake assist, is standard on the EQB. The
Driving Assistance Package will be optional, which includes more advanced
semi-autonomous driving assistance features.

The 300 model uses a
219bhp all-wheel-drive dual-motor electric set-up, while the 350 uses a 288bhp
version of the same drivetrain. Both will be capable of 257 miles on a full
charge, thanks to a 66.5kWh battery.

Mercedes says that a longer-range
variant is coming, which will feature a single-motor two-wheel-drive set-up for
greater efficiency.

Maximum charging is capped at
100kW DC, meaning a 10-80 per cent recharge in 32 minutes. The EQB is
compatible with 11kW AC charging from a wall box, thanks to its onboard charger.

Positioned between the EQA and
EQC SUVs in the firm’s growing line-up of EQ-branded electric vehicles, the new
Mercedes EQB is a compact electric SUV for buyers that demand space and
flexibility, given it offers something that rivals like the new Audi Q4 e-Tron
and Volkswagen ID.4 don’t: seven seats. 

From a design perspective, the
EQB follows the convention set by its EQA and EQC siblings, offering a subtle
all-electric evolution of the combustion-engined car it is based on.

The EQB retains
similar dimensions and a boxy profile as seen on the GLB. Still, the most notable
difference is the new, aerodynamic front end with its closed-off grille and
EQ-specific headlight signature. Similarly, the tailgate is updated with a new
full-width LED tail-light bar.

The interior design is carried nearly wholesale from the GLB, save for material changes, such as the
rose gold-coloured trim on the air vents. The dashboard is dominated by a
widescreen MBUX infotainment system with twin 10.25-inch displays for the dash
panel and the main screen, which now feature EQ branding and graphics.

With a 2,829mm wheelbase, the EQB
differs from many key rivals and its smaller EQA sibling with which it shares
its platform. That’s because it’s available with a third row of seats. However, Mercedes
says that the optional third-row seats are more suitable for children.

In the five-seat model, boot
space stands at 495 litres, while the seven-seat model with the third row
folded down boasts 465 litres. The packaging requirements of the electric
drivetrain within the converted GLB platform mean that those figures are down
on the petrol and diesel GLBs, which offer 570 and 500 litres, respectively.
