The Mercedes EQA SUV impresses with 292 HP 561 km and an attractive starting price of 44200 £ . Here are all the details at a glance.
The EQA wears Mercedes styling in a compact, polished way: a rounded nose, closed grille with signature LED strip and tidy proportions that read upscale without shouting. At 4,463 mm long and just over 1.8 m wide it feels more city-friendly than the larger EQ models, and the high beltline adds a purposeful SUV stance. Detailing such as pinched light signatures and available two-tone paint lift the look, but the silhouette sacrifices a bit of visual drama for practicality.
Inside, Mercedes keeps the cabin familiar and user-friendly with soft-touch surfaces, competent seat comfort and clear climate controls that avoid over-reliance on menus. The MBUX infotainment presents crisp graphics and smartphone mirroring, while physical shortcuts help keep daily use straightforward. Build quality is strong for the segment, though rear visibility can be a touch restricted by the rising rear roofline.
The EQA is a five-seater with a 340-litre boot that swells to 1,320 litres with the rear seats down, making it perfectly suited for weekly shopping and weekend luggage for two. Rear legroom is adequate for most adults but taller passengers may notice a slightly higher seating position and reduced headroom. With a curb weight around 2,045–2,115 kg and a payload near 425 kg, the EQA is best thought of as a compact premium family car rather than a heavy-hauling SUV.
The EQA aims for composed, predictable manners rather than sporty thrills: steering is light and precise for town manoeuvres while suspension tuning prioritises comfort over razor-sharp cornering. Powertrains range from the front-wheel-drive 190 hp EQA 250+ to all-wheel-drive options including the 228 hp EQA 300 and the brisk 292 hp EQA 350, with 0–100 km/h times from about 8.6 s down to 6.0 s; torque sits in a healthy band up to roughly 520 Nm. Acceleration is smooth and useful for overtakes, and adjustable regenerative braking helps tailor single-pedal driving for urban use.
Battery capacity sits at about 70.5 kWh and published consumption figures are roughly 14.4–16.9 kWh/100 km, which corresponds to WLTP ranges around 561 km for the most efficient FWD 250+ and about 476 km for the more powerful AWD variants. In day-to-day conditions, expect real-world ranges lower than WLTP — typically between 300 and 450 km depending on driving style, temperature and motorway speed — which is ample for most commutes but important to consider on longer trips. Charging behaviour is typical for the class, with rapid DC sessions useful for long runs and overnight AC charging covering most home-based needs.
MBUX provides a modern interface with voice control, navigation and smartphone integration, and the EQA gets Mercedes' suite of driver assists including adaptive cruise, lane-keeping aid and automated emergency braking. The system is practical and generally intuitive, with over-the-air updates available to keep software fresh. Parking is made easier by camera systems and optional 360-degree views, although some advanced features are reserved for higher trims or option packs.
The EQA suits buyers seeking a compact, premium electric SUV that prioritises comfort, tech and badge appeal over outright sportiness or maximum range. The lineup includes the efficient front-wheel-drive EQA 250+ (about 190 hp, long-range WLTP figure) and the more dynamic all-wheel-drive EQA 300 and EQA 350 variants (from 228–292 hp), so customers can pick between economy and performance without leaving the same model family. For urban families and professionals wanting a refined, easy-to-live-with EV, the EQA is a sensible, understated choice.
