Street Style and Road Presence

The EQB wears Mercedes' electric vocabulary with a purposeful, boxy silhouette and a full-width light signature that reads as modern without shouting for attention. At just under 4.7 metres long and 1.83 metres wide it tucks into tight urban spaces better than larger Merc SUVs while still looking substantial on the motorway. Design details such as blacked-out trim and upright glass surfaces give useful visibility and a confident stance, making it easy to spot in the parking lot and comfortable to live with every day.

Cabin Comfort and Materials

The interior follows Mercedes' premium template: soft-touch surfaces, neat switchgear and a relaxed driving position that prioritises comfort over flashiness. The infotainment layout is clear and the seats are supportive for long trips, with ambient lighting and a sense of solidity that feels more upmarket than many rivals. Controls are logical and materials generally up to the mark for a small luxury SUV, delivering the calm, composed cabin customers expect from the three-pointed star.

Practicality that Fits Real Life

Practicality is a strong suit: the boot offers 495 litres of luggage space with seats up and expands to a maximum of 1,710 litres when folded, enough for a family shopping run or weekend baggage. With a curb weight around 2.1 tonnes and a payload near 435 kg, daily loading and child-seat duties are easily managed while the compact exterior length keeps garage manoeuvres straightforward. Rear headroom and sensible door apertures make access easy, and the overall package is focused on usable space rather than gimmicks.

How It Drives — Calm, Capable, and Clear

Drive impressions vary by version: the front-wheel-drive entry models produce about 190 hp and deliver relaxed acceleration (around 8.9 s 0–100 km/h), while all-wheel-drive variants push up to roughly 292 hp and drop the sprint time toward 6.2 s. Steering leans toward light and safe rather than sporty, and the suspension soaks bumps with a Mercedes-style bias for comfort, though the taller profile means some body roll in fast corners. The EQB suits daily commuting and family travel, with the sportier all-wheel-drive versions adding traction and punch for overtakes or slippery roads.

Real-World Range and Energy Use

The EQB uses a battery of about 70.5 kWh with consumption figures quoted at roughly 15.2 kWh/100 km for the most efficient variants and closer to 17.2 kWh/100 km for the more powerful AWD cars, translating to WLTP ranges near 535 km and 468 km respectively. In everyday driving expect those WLTP numbers to drop — typically to the mid-300s or 400s kilometres depending on speed, heating and load — which still makes most weekly routines easily achievable without daily charging. For owners who mix town, motorway and family cargo, the EQB balances usable range with realistic consumption figures rather than headline-grabbing economy.

Assistance, Infotainment and Practical Tech

Mercedes fits the EQB with its current MBUX ecosystem and an array of driver aids that include adaptive cruise, lane assistance and automated emergency braking, all tuned for relaxed, confident use rather than experimental autonomy. The touchscreen and voice controls are responsive, navigation integrates range estimates and charging stops, and parking aids help in tight spaces. Overall the tech package aims to reduce stress on everyday trips and offers the connectivity and safety features expected in this segment.

Who Should Consider the EQB?

The EQB suits buyers who want a compact electric SUV with a premium cabin, sensible interior space and family-friendly utility without moving up to a large SUV. It appeals to those prioritising comfort, usable luggage volume and Mercedes branding, with choice across efficiency-focused front-wheel-drive and quicker all-wheel-drive variants for buyers who want extra performance or winter traction. For compact-family duty and comfortable long-distance runs the EQB is a strong, sensible contender in the electrified premium market.
