Seven seats and over 260 miles of range, but is the Mercedes EQB any good?
Smaller and less luxurious than EQC, but with more seatsbut needed to carry more than five passengers, your choice has been limited until now. You could have one of a few vans with seats – such as the Nissan e-NV200, the Mercedes EQV or your pick of what seems like 60 different Stellantis variants like the Peugeot e-Traveller. Or you could have a Tesla Model X.GLB
The interior, meanwhile, is virtually unchanged, which means it’s similar in character to not just the EQA but the whole A-Class range.The aforementioned 66.5kWh battery pack sits underslung, with its frame taking on the structural duties formerly provided by chassis crossmembers. It’s paired to an electric motor on each axle, giving the EQB four-wheel drive.
As for charging, expect a full charge overnight if you’re topping up at home. When out and about the EQB’s max charge rate is 100kW, which isn’t the fastest but can still take it from 10-80% in a little over 30 minutes.Performance is as strong as you’d expect. The EQB 350 we drove will do 0-62mph in 6.2 seconds, and though top speed is limited to just 99mph it’s very comfortable accelerating up to and holding motorway speeds.
You will enjoy excellent comfort levels, though. Our test car rode on 20-inch wheels yet still ironed out all but the biggest potholes. Refinement is a strong point, too. The lack of engine noise can really highlight wind and road roar in an EV, but it’s all well-suppressed in the EQB.First off, it’s not going to be a permanent seven-seater. Just like the Discovery Sport or indeed the regular GLB, those third-row seats will be there for occasional use by kids or smaller adults.
