Discover an approved used EQB through Stratstone
The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a medium-sized SUV that borrows elements from an MPV (multipurpose vehicle), making it a more practical option than the smaller EQA.
Much like its smaller sibling, the EQB is also fully electric, which makes it a compelling choice for families wanting to reduce their carbon footprint whilst enjoying the luxuries that come with a premium brand such as Mercedes-Benz.
Reasons to consider a used Mercedes-Benz EQB include:
- Option for seven seats available
- Efficient all-electric powertrain
- Loaded with advanced technology
- Strong performance and quiet drive
Engines and Driving Experience
The EQB is all-electric, and is therefore not available with a petrol or diesel engine. It is available in two guises: the EQB 250+ and the EBQ 350.
Boasting a battery capacity of 73.9kWh, the former option is good for a range of around 260 miles on a full charge, which is more than enough for most drivers on a weekly basis.
Step up to the 350, and you get a slightly smaller 69.7kWh battery, which provides a range of up to 215 miles on a full charge. The core difference is that you get 288bhp in this version, meaning 0 to 62mph in 6.2 seconds, whereas the 250+ develops 190bhp and achieves the same sprint in 8.9 seconds.
Another reason the 350 has less range is that it has 4MATIC all-wheel drive, whereas the 250+ is front-wheel drive.
Practicality and Running Costs
The EQB offers five seats as standard and is optionally available as a seven-seater. It therefore offers space for many families and the most diverse transport needs.
The two seats in the third row can be used by people up to 1.65 metres tall, and child seats can also be fitted there. The EQB offers a generous amount of space and a maximum boot capacity of 1,710 litres thanks to having the long wheelbase of the GLB.
Because it is all electric, the EQB occupies higher insurance groups than most regular cars, but this is more than offset by the lack of serviceable items, such as engine oil and filters. Any servicing and maintenance requirements can be completed via your nearest Stratstone Mercedes-Benz retailer.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
Taking centre stage inside is the brand's Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system, which grants access to the vehicle's multimedia controls, onboard safety features, and driver aids (among other features).
All versions of the EQB are delivered with cruise control and adaptive high beam headlights as standard, and they even get ambient light inside to reflect your mood.
A variety of safety features are fitted throughout the range, which include autonomous braking, active brake assist and active lane keeping assist.
Is the Mercedes-Benz EQB right for me?
The Mercedes-Benz EQB is larger than the more common EQA, and offers the option for a third row of seats, making it an ideal choice if you want a premium electric car that is suited to larger families.
In terms of alternatives, the BMW iX1 offers exceptional range and an upmarket interior, but is not available with a third row of seats. Elsewhere, the Audi Q4 e-tron is worth investigating if you do not mind looking at a larger vehicle.
