2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB First Drive: ICE-Free
Photo: B.Charette 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB - Exterior design Stuttgart, Germany - The pandemic has delayed the progress of several models, including electric ones. One of them is the new product to be released under the Mercedes-Benz EQ banner.
When it arrives at dealerships in the coming days, the only version available will be the 350 4 Matic model. Its base price is set at $75,700. That means you don't qualify for any subsidies. Our 350 model under test has a 400-volt electric architecture, which allows them to charge at a maximum of 100 kW, taking the battery from 10 percent to 80 percent in 32 minutes on a DC fast charger.
The model includes regeneration modes that return energy to the batteries. Paddles on the back of the steering wheel increase or decrease regenerative braking, but the Auto mode behaves intelligently, preventing you from going too fast down a hill or getting too close to another car. For those who need additional seating, there is a seven-seat option. Just don't expect to put adults in the back. It’s a strictly-kids space, and if you do use that third row, the cargo space shrinks to nothingness or almost.
Tech-wise, there's not much missing from this little SUV. You get a dual digital display for instrumentation and infotainment with standard Mercedes MBUX voice assistant. You can also navigate via the touchscreen, or by using a touchpad on the centre console. Apple Carplay and Android Auto also come standard.
