Mercedes-Benz EQB
Mercedes-Benz EQB Summary
Release date
Mercedes-Benz EQB will be launched in India on 2nd December 2022.
Performance, Electric Motors, and Battery
The international-spec Mercedes-Benz EQB300 makes 225bhp and 390Nm whereas the EQB350 can generate 288bhp and 520Nm of torque. Both models get a 66.5kWh battery pack with a range of 419km as per the WLTP cycle. However, it is still unclear as to which version will be preferred for the Indian market.
Features
As seen on any EQ model, which is an electric derivative of an equivalent Mercedes-Benz model, the EQB shares its design traits with the conventional-powered GLB. Apart from the distinct EQ grille, the ‘aero wheels’ and different lighting signature both fore and aft, the EQB appears exactly what an electrified GLB would look like. Its coefficient of friction is 0.28 which is impressive for a boxy SUV. On the inside, it’s a typical Mercedes-Benz affair with a wide floating screen dominating the dashboard. It comes with MBUX integrated system while there’s loads of aluminium used all around to lend the EQB a robust appeal – just like its GLB counterpart.
Price
The expected cost of Mercedes-Benz EQB could range between Rs 70 lakh to Rs 80 lakh, both prices ex-showroom.
Rivals
The Mercedes-Benz EQB will compete against the likes of the Volvo XC40 Recharger, Kia EV6, and the upcoming Hyundai Ioniq 5.
