Mercedes EQT

The Mercedes EQT is Mercedes‑Benz’s compact electric people carrier that grafts the brand’s usual refinement onto a practical, family‑friendly van body. It makes school runs feel a little more upscale — quietly electric, sensibly packaged and unexpectedly pleasant to live with, especially if you like your practicality with a touch of luxury.
