With five seats in place, the EQB offers a generous 465-litre capacity. We tried the third row, and even though the pop-up seats officially can be used by people up to 5ft 4 inches tall, it is possible for six-footers to squeeze in for brief trips if the second row seats are pushed forward a bit, but it is a knees-up seating position. Rear passengers are also in for a treat because there’s ample leg and headroom. The driving position is comfortable and the supportive seats in our test car were upholstered in black Artico man-made leather. The EQB can be charged at speeds up to 100kW (which is average these days), meaning a 10-80% boost from a 100kW rapid charger takes as little as 32 minutes, while a 0-100% charge can be achieved overnight via a home wallbox.Īs you’d expect from a vehicle sporting a three-pointed star, it’s a plush motor. Both come with four-wheel drive as standard. The latter has a 6.2-second 0-62mph time, while the less powerful version is a tad slower at eight seconds. Range varies from a claimed 246 miles for the EQB 300 to 253 miles for the EQB 350. The naming convention is a little confusing because the EQB 300 puts out 224bhp, while the 350 has 287bhp, but there you go. Powered by two electric motors connected to a 66.5kWh battery, it’s available in two specs – an EQB 300 or 350 – and three trim levels (AMG Line, AMG Line Premium and AMG Line Premium Plus). We test one of the few – the Mercedes-Benz EQB 350….īased on the conventionally powered GLB, the EQB is a premium SUV about the same size as a BMW X3, Volvo XC60 or Lexus NX.Ī handsome yet boxy sports utility vehicle with a high roofline, short overhangs and plenty of glass, it’s priced from £55,310- £62,810. You’re not exactly spoilt for choice if you’re looking for an electric vehicle with seven seats.
