Mercedes-Benz EQB

Model reviewed: Range overview
Score: 8 / 10
“Electric seven-seaters are still few and far between, but the new Mercedes EQB does a convincing job of transporting the entire family in relative comfort. The EQB is dripping with premium appeal, and while we’d like a little more range, faster charging tech, and, ultimately, a cheaper, front-wheel-drive entry model, the EQB is one of Merc’s most convincing electric cars to date.”

“Essentially an electrified version of the excellent Mercedes GLB, the EQB offers a satisfying blend of luxury and practicality and is currently among the few electric options for families needing an extra row of seats.”

“If seven-seats in your EV is a priority, the EQB is a comfy, refined, and high-quality choice. Although the incoming cheaper, longer-range, single-motor version might be the pick of the bunch.”

“The Mercedes EQB is exactly the kind of practical, flexible car that could help family buyers go electric. Sure, you’d enjoy more space for adults in something like an EQV, but the flavour of the month is SUV, not MPV.”

“The option of a seven-seat layout gives the EQB a significant advantage over most rival EVs and the upmarket interior and practical boot add further to its appeal. The standard safety features are excellent too.”

“For a family EV SUV, the Mercedes EQB ticks almost all the boxes. But even with the biggest battery, the range isn’t as good as it could be.”

“Ultimately, while we’d like a less expensive entry-level model to be available from launch and slightly faster rapid charging speeds, the EQB is sure to appeal to many, and rightfully so, thanks to its smooth electric powertrain, practical range and the fact it’s one of the few models in the electric SUV class available with seven seats.”

“I quite like the honesty of the design and the facility to carry an extra two passengers is good – especially if you have kids with lots of mates. It’s disappointing that the cabin is compromised by the basic design of the car. Stepping into the Mercedes-Benz EQB after driving flat-floor all-electric cars really feels like going back in time.” (Ginny Buckley)

“The Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 4Matic is an all-electric seven-seater, which means it’s a very rare thing, and it’s good to drive – which is something else that’s not always guaranteed with a seven-seater SUV.”

“If you want a seven seat electric SUV, the Mercedes EQB is the only car you can buy this side of the £100,000 plus Tesla Model X. It combines a 250-mile range with an exceptionally high quality cabin and superb refinement.”

“The Mercedes EQB isn’t the first electric SUV on the market but it stands out thanks to its seven seats. Nothing from Audi, BMW or Jaguar can rival it. Its 250 mile range is impressive as is the quality throughout. It’s also good to drive.”

“Electric cars with seven seats are few and far between, but the Mercedes-Benz EQB is a new and interesting option. An acceptable range and practicality to spare.”

“There are loads of seven-seat crossovers around. And loads of electric crossovers. But the only seven-seat electric crossover until now has been the Tesla Model X, falcon-wing doors and all. That’s £106,380. Don’t get me wrong, the EQB is still stupidly expensive at £57k but that’s almost half the Tesla’s money.”

Score: 6 / 10
“On paper, the Mercedes-Benz EQB is the battery electric, all-weather family carry-all that many will want, but it’s far from straightforward. Range and efficiency are far from sparkling. It’s also expensive, even in a class of expensive cars and that gritty ride doesn’t do it any favours.”

“For now, there’s no cheaper way into a new seven-seat EV. The EQB has a USP and runs nicely with it.”
