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 an all-electric, seven-seat family SUV, positioned as a compact yet practical option. Based on the GLB, it offers a boxy design and a significant 257-mile WLTP driving range in all-wheel-drive variants. It uniquely combines premium electric mobility with a seven-seat configuration, distinguishing itself from five-seat alternatives like the Audi Q4 e-tron and Tesla Model Y, or larger, van-like electric options. While the raised floor slightly impacts third-row foot space, it still comfortably accommodates adults in the middle row and children in the rear.

Performance is ample, with the EQB 350 4Matic hitting 62mph in six seconds, offering a smooth and confident drive, albeit less sporty than some rivals. Its comfortable ride absorbs bumps well, especially with smaller wheels. The interior boasts a high-quality finish with twin 10-inch screens for infotainment, including Apple CarPlay and Android Auto as standard. Running costs are low due to its electric powertrain, making it cheaper to run than petrol/diesel alternatives, though the initial purchase price is higher. Fixed-price servicing options add to its appeal as a practical and luxurious electric family car.

Best for: Drivers needing a seven-seat electric SUV, buyers seeking a practical, comfortable, and premium electric family car, and those prioritising low running costs and a high-quality interior.

Not ideal for: Drivers prioritising a sporty, engaging driving experience, those needing vast third-row space for adults, or budget-conscious buyers looking for the lowest purchase price compared to non-electric or less premium EVs.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EQB if: You need a seven-seat electric SUV, are seeking a practical, comfortable, and premium electric family car, or prioritise low running costs and a high-quality interior.

Consider alternatives if: You prioritise a sporty, engaging driving experience, need vast third-row space for adults, or are a budget-conscious buyer looking for the lowest purchase price compared to non-electric or less premium EVs.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes EQB stands out in the electric SUV market by offering a unique combination of seven seats, a premium badge, and strong practicality in a relatively compact package. While other electric SUVs might offer sportier drives or more spacious five-seat configurations, the EQB carves its niche by catering to families needing extra seating without compromising on luxury or electric efficiency. Its comfortable ride, high-quality interior, and reasonable running costs make it a compelling choice for those requiring a versatile and sophisticated electric family vehicle, especially if the seven-seat requirement is paramount.
