    About the Mercedes-Benz EQB

    The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB is at dealers now, and has become Australia’s most affordable electric vehicle with seven seats.

    The range opens at $87,800 before on-road costs for the base, front-wheel drive EQB 250. Only this variant can be had with an optional third row of seating, pushing the price to $90,700 before on-roads.

    That puts it roughly $25,000 above the most affordable version of the seven-seat GLB it’s based on, and around $12,000 higher than the related, two-row EQA.

    The EQB comes in a choice of single-motor, front-wheel drive 250 guise, with an electric motor producing 140kW of power and 385Nm of torque, or dual-motor all-wheel drive 350 guise with 215kW and 520Nm.

    Range is 371km on the stricter WLTP cycle for the 250 and 360km in the 350.

    Interior

    Photos and Images of the Mercedes-Benz EQB Interior

    You’d have to be a proper Mercedes-Benz trainspotter to notice any major differences between the EQB and its petrol-powered GLB sibling.

    It’s a polished, high-tech space behind the wheel, although it lacks the futuristic, almost otherworldly feeling present in new EVs from the likes of Kia and Hyundai.

    Our testers were all fitted with the AMG package, which brings comfortable and supportive sports seats with more bolstering than the standard units, and microsuede inserts for a sportier feel than faux leather alone. We spent a long time behind the wheel and hopped out feeling fresh.

    Rear seat space is one of the major calling cards of the EQB on paper, and it delivers in practice. The boxy profile frees up an impressive amount of headroom, and with the 40/20/40 folding bench slid to its rearmost position you’ll be able to slot a full-sized adult behind a full-sized driver.

    Exterior

    Photos and Images of the Mercedes-Benz EQB Exterior

    Explaining how the EQB fits into the sprawling Mercedes-Benz range is a bit tricky. Under the skin it’s built on an elongated version of the chassis underpinning the A-Class, but it’s a whopping 221mm longer than the EQA SUV.

    It’s barely smaller than the more expensive EQC electric SUV, which led Mercedes-Benz’s electric charge in Australia. Although it’s built on small car bones, this is a chunky SUV

    Along with boot space, the bigger body on the EQB opens the door for a seven-seat option.

    This is designed to appeal to families who need a reasonably sized car with big boot most of the time, but also demand the flexibility a pop-up third row offers.

    Given you can’t yet buy a seven-seat Tesla Model Y in Australia, let alone a pure-electric version of segment stalwarts such as the Nissan X-Trail, the EQB is quite a unique beast.

    As you’d expect of a Mercedes-Benz it’s a polished, practical package – even if it doesn’t move the game on when it comes to range or performance.

    Mercedes-Benz EQB Warranty

    What is the warranty period and kilometre limit for the Mercedes-Benz EQB?

    The Mercedes-Benz EQB is covered by a five-year, unlimited-kilometre warranty.

    Servicing is required every 12 months or 25,000km, whichever comes first.

    Mercedes-Benz EQB Infotainment

    What infotainment do you get within the range?

    By now, we’re familiar with the dual-screen MBUX infotainment system. It can be controlled with a touchpad, steering wheel controls, or ‘Hey Mercedes’ voice inputs.

    Both screens are pin-sharp, with impressively quick responses and deep, vivid colours. In the age of smartphones with ultra-high-resolution screens and lightning refresh rates, they feel like an extension of the tech we’re already using in the best way possible.

    Once you’re attuned to how the menus work it’s not hard to jump around, although the fact Apple CarPlay is wired-only and sits in a tiny window is disappointing. Newer iterations of MBUX allow it to work full-screen.

    There’s a range of electric-only readouts, but this feels very much like any other Mercedes-Benz on the technology front. That extends to the digital instrument binnacle, which offers the right blend of information and at-a-glance readability.

    From the flashy backlit trim on AMG Line models to the trio of turbine-style air vents dominating the dash, this is an attractive interior. It does feel a bit cheap in spots, though.

    Mercedes-Benz EQB Boot Space

    How much luggage or cargo capacity and boot space is there in the Mercedes-Benz EQB?

    Boot space in the seven-seat model is a claimed 110L with the rearmost seats in place (130L loaded to the roof), 670L to the roof with the second row in place, and 1620L to the roof with both rows folded flat.

    The five-seater has 675L of space to the roof with the rear seats in place, expanding to 1710L with them folded flat.

    Mercedes-Benz says the loading lip is 50mm higher than in the EQA. That should make it easier to load heavy items and slide them straight in.

    The boot itself is broad and flat, and the upright tailgate means you’ll actually be able to load in boxy items in a way you can’t in more style-oriented alternatives.

    Mercedes-Benz EQB Dimensions

    The dimensions of the Mercedes-Benz EQB

    The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB measures 4684mm long, 1834mm wide (2020mm including the mirrors) and 1667mm tall, on a 2829mm wheelbase.

    Kerb weight is 2059kg in the five-seat EQB 250, 2109kg in the seven-seat model, and 2153kg in the EQB 350.

    All EQB models have an 11.7m turning circle and a drag coefficient of 0.28.

    Depending on the variant, the 2024 MERCEDES-BENZ EQB measures as below.

    Mercedes-Benz EQB Market Fit

    The Mercedes-Benz EQB is categorised as a Small SUV and has a price range of $87,734 to $106,155.

    Should you buy the Mercedes-Benz EQB

    Is this the right car for you? Our experts buy or not guide.

    Tight supply means every EQB to hit Australia for the foreseeable future is likely to be snapped up, but even without our market’s slightly skewed EV market there’s a niche for it here.

    Although it doesn’t have the same surefooted, punchy feel as the more expensive EQB 350 4MATIC, the entry-level EQB 250 shapes as the smart pick for families looking for a spacious, premium electric SUV.

    The seven-seat option is a proper point of difference at the moment, and adds a degree of flexibility not even larger cars like the Hyundai Ioniq 5 can match – don’t be fooled by the compact exterior dimensions, the EQB is a genuinely usable 5+2 SUV.

    As for the 350? It’s priced very close to the bigger BMW iX3 if it’s a spacious five-seat EV you want, while the Genesis GV60 is a more dynamic option if it’s performance you’re after.

    It’s very nice, but it feels a bit lost in a way the more practical 250 doesn’t.
