Mercedes-Benz EQB (2022-present) Pros and Cons

Pros	Cons
High quality interior	Other SUVs are more fun to drive
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 EQB is the all-electric version of the boxy, seven-seat GLB family SUV, offering a unique proposition in the premium market as a compact seven-seater EV. All-wheel-drive models feature a 66.5kWh battery, providing an official range of up to 257 miles. While there are plenty of five-seat electric rivals like the Audi Q4 e-tron and Tesla Model Y, the EQB has few direct competitors if you need the extra two seats in a premium electric package.

Inside, the EQB boasts a high-quality, luxurious cabin with a sophisticated twin-screen infotainment system. Practicality is good, though the floor is raised to accommodate batteries, slightly reducing foot space. The middle row is comfortable for adults, while the third row is best suited for children. It's a comfortable and smooth car to drive, soaking up bumps well, even if it's not as fun as a Ford Mustang Mach-E or Tesla Model Y. Running costs are low, but the initial purchase price is higher than petrol or diesel alternatives.

Best for: Families needing seven seats in a premium EV, buyers who prioritise interior quality and comfort over driving dynamics, and those looking for low running costs.

Not ideal for: Those seeking a sporty driving experience, buyers on a strict budget, or anyone who doesn't need seven seats, as five-seat alternatives can offer more space or range.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EQB if: You need seven seats in a premium electric vehicle and value a high-quality interior and comfortable ride.

Consider alternatives if: A sporty drive is your priority, or if you only need five seats, as other EVs might offer better value or a longer range.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz EQB carves out a compelling niche as one of the only premium, compact, seven-seat electric SUVs available. It offers a fantastic blend of practicality, a premium finish, and low running costs. While rivals may be more fun to drive or offer more space in a five-seat configuration, the EQB is an excellent choice for those who specifically need its seven-seat capacity in a refined, comfortable, and luxurious electric package.
