Pros	Cons
Comfy and luxurious interior	Let down by a small boot
Smooth, swift and relaxing to drive	Expensive compared with a Ford Mustang Mach-E
Great-looking infotainment system	Range could be better

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz EQA is a mid-sized electric SUV crossover, based on the Mercedes GLA, competing with models like the Audi Q4 e-tron and Volkswagen ID.4. It features a 79.8kWh battery (66.5kWh usable) offering a WLTP range of 252 to 264 miles. Real-world range is typically 220-250 miles in summer, potentially dropping below 200 miles in winter, particularly during motorway driving. Powertrain options include the EQA 250 (188bhp FWD) and two 4Matic models (225bhp or 288bhp AWD).

While its 340-litre boot is smaller than some rivals, the EQA compensates with a highly luxurious and well-appointed interior, showcasing premium materials and a sophisticated MBUX infotainment system. It delivers a smooth, predictable, and relaxing driving experience, marked by intuitive steering and effective regenerative braking. Despite its premium badge, it offers competitive pricing against similar posh EVs, with strong residual values contributing to attractive finance deals and low running costs, especially for home charging.

Best for: Drivers seeking a classy and luxurious electric SUV with a premium interior, those looking for a smooth, relaxing driving experience, and buyers interested in competitive finance deals on a high-quality EV.

Not ideal for: Buyers prioritising maximum boot space or needing a frunk, those on a tighter budget compared to non-premium EVs, or drivers who frequently undertake long motorway journeys in winter and require extended range.
