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-Benz EQB is the all-electric version of the Mercedes GLB, a boxy-looking, seven-seat family SUV that is usefully smaller than full-size alternatives such as the Audi Q7. With an official WLTP driving range of 257 miles in all-wheel drive variants courtesy of a 66.5kWh battery, the EQB offers a compelling blend of practicality, premium finish and low running costs. The 288bhp EQB 350 4Matic accelerates to 62mph in six seconds with predictable power delivery, whilst the 225bhp EQB 300 4Matic achieves 0-62mph in 7.7 seconds. Four-wheel drive models tackle corners in a neutral and confident manner, soaking up road imperfections with comfort that exceeds the Tesla Model Y.

The cabin features a premium interior with dense, classy materials and ambient lighting throughout, complemented by a dual 10-inch touchscreen infotainment system with Apple CarPlay, Android Auto and sat-nav as standard. Running costs are significantly lower than petrol or diesel alternatives, with a full charge costing around £12 from a home charger. The EQB is ideal for families needing seven seats in an electric vehicle, though it sacrifices some practicality compared to five-seat alternatives due to a raised floor accommodating the battery pack. Third-row seats are best reserved for children or young teenagers, whilst the middle row suits adults and those with limited mobility.

Best for: Families requiring seven seats in an electric vehicle, those prioritising premium quality and comfort, and buyers seeking low running costs with a spacious SUV.

Not ideal for: Those wanting a sports electric SUV with dynamic handling, buyers needing maximum interior space, or those seeking the longest driving range between charges.


Comparison vs Key Rivals



The Verdict

You should buy the EQB if: You need seven seats in an electric vehicle, prioritise premium quality and comfort, and seek low running costs with a spacious SUV.

Consider alternatives if: You want a sports electric SUV with dynamic handling, need maximum interior space, or require the longest driving range between charges.

Competitive Position: The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a strong contender in the premium electric SUV market, offering a unique combination of seven-seat practicality and premium quality. Whilst the Tesla Model Y and Audi Q4 e-tron deliver superior performance and user ratings, the EQB distinguishes itself through its spacious seven-seat configuration and refined, comfortable driving experience. The Volkswagen ID.4 offers better value, but lacks the premium interior and seven-seat option. For families prioritising comfort, quality and practicality over outright performance, the EQB represents an excellent choice in the electric SUV segment.
