This is the Mercedes EQB, a seven-seater, all-electric SUV. The latest in a growing line of electric EQ models from Mercedes, it’s effectively an electric version of the GLB and will be a practical alternative to the Volkswagen ID4, BMW iX3 and Tesla Model Y when it goes on sale in late 2021.
The overall profile of the Mercedes EQB is very similar to the GLB on which it’s based, albeit with a number of changes to distinguish it as an electric car.
You’ll notice the blanked off grille up front — after all, there’s no need to cool an engine — with a huge Mercedes three-pointed star in the middle. Below that is a curvaceous intake design with headlights that closely follow the rounded design of the front end.
The side of the car is more or less identical to the GLB, albeit with different alloy wheel designs up to 20-inches, though changes at the back are a little more drastic.
There’s a full-width light bar stretching across the back, similar to that on the Mercedes EQA, albeit with a flat, rather than swooping, design. The bumper gets a bit of chrome trim that sort of looks to mimic exhaust exits too — of course, there’s no need for real ones on an electric car.
At launch, the Mercedes EQB will come in EQB 350 guise with a 66.5kWh battery pack.
This will come with up to 297 miles of range and is compatible with 100kW rapid charging. Using this, you can top-up the batteries from 10% to 80% full in 30 minutes.
