Mercedes-Benz EQA (2021-present) Pros and Cons

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 premium electric crossover based on the GLA, competing with the Audi Q4 e-tron and VW ID.4. It offers a classy, high-tech cabin that feels more luxurious than many rivals. With a usable battery capacity of 66.5kWh, its official range is up to 264 miles, though real-world figures are closer to 200-220 miles. While it provides enough space for a family, its key drawback is practicality, with a 340-litre boot that is noticeably smaller than most key competitors.

The EQA delivers a smooth, relaxing, and refined driving experience, with even the entry-level 188bhp model feeling punchy enough for daily use. The interior is a highlight, featuring Mercedes' excellent MBUX infotainment system and premium materials throughout. While it's more expensive to buy than non-premium alternatives, running costs are low, and competitive finance deals can make it an appealing option against other premium EVs. It’s an accomplished package for buyers who prioritise a luxurious feel and comfortable drive over maximum space and range.

Best for: Buyers wanting a premium badge and luxurious interior, a comfortable and refined driving experience, and user-friendly in-car technology.

Not ideal for: Families needing maximum boot space, drivers who prioritise the longest possible electric range, or those looking for the most performance for their money.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EQA if: You value a premium badge, a genuinely luxurious and high-tech cabin, and a smooth, comfortable driving experience above all else.

Consider alternatives if: You need a large boot for family duties, require a longer driving range for frequent long journeys, or are seeking better value from non-premium brands.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes EQA carves out a strong niche in the crowded electric SUV market by focusing on premium quality and comfort. While it may not lead the class in practicality or range, its plush interior, refined drive, and sophisticated technology make it a compelling choice for those wanting a touch of luxury from their EV.
