Seven seats in an electric vehicle	Third-row seats are cramped
Quiet and comfortable	More expensive than petrol or diesel models

Quick Summary

The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a boxy, seven-seat family electric SUV that offers a compelling blend of practicality, premium finish and low running costs. Revealed in 2021, it was initially available as the EQB 300 and EQB 350 with dual electric motors and all-wheel drive, followed by single-motor variants including the 250+ with an extended-range battery. A 2023 facelift brought exterior and interior design tweaks, the latest MBUX infotainment technology and upgraded driving assistance systems. The EQB delivers a smooth, confident drive with neutral and assured cornering, though it lacks the sportiness of some rivals. With a high-quality cabin featuring dense, classy materials and ambient lighting, it provides an ideal hip-height middle row perfect for those with limited mobility, whilst the third row suits younger passengers or children.

Running costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel alternatives, with a full charge costing around £16 from a standard home charger. The EQB can charge at speeds of up to 100kW, allowing a 10-80 per cent boost in 32 minutes. Range varies by model, with the 250+ delivering 290-321 miles and the all-wheel drive 300 and 350 achieving 242-255 miles. Whilst more expensive to purchase than many seven-seat petrol SUVs, the EQB represents excellent value as a used electric vehicle for families needing seven seats and premium comfort. Insurance and maintenance costs are comparable with rivals, with fixed-price servicing available from £30 per month.

Best for: Families needing seven seats in an electric vehicle, those prioritising premium interior quality and comfort, and buyers seeking low running costs with home charging capability.

Not ideal for: Drivers wanting a performance SUV or the most engaging driving dynamics, those with limited space for third-row passengers, or buyers seeking the lowest purchase price in the seven-seat electric market.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EQB if: You need seven seats in an electric vehicle, prioritise premium interior quality and comfort, or seek low running costs with home charging capability.

Consider alternatives if: You want a performance SUV, the most engaging driving dynamics, or the lowest purchase price in the seven-seat electric market.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a strong contender in the seven-seat electric SUV market, offering premium quality, practicality and comfort. Whilst the Tesla Model Y and Peugeot e-5008 may offer better value or more space in five-seat configurations, the EQB delivers a classier cabin and more conventional layout than the Model Y. It's more expensive than the Peugeot e-5008 but offers superior interior quality and a more refined driving experience. For families specifically needing seven electric seats with premium comfort, the EQB is an excellent choice, though it prioritises comfort over sportiness.
