The EQA 250 is the smallest electric Mercedes on sale in Australia, built on a modified GLA platform. Front-wheel drive only in the 250, 250+ adds the larger battery for more range.
What you are buying
A 66.5 kWh battery, a 140 kW front-mounted motor, and a WLTP range of around 426 km. Charging tops out at 100 kW DC. The MBUX cabin layout is familiar Mercedes, with the dual-screen dash.
Cartell Assessment
The EQA is the small electric Mercedes for the buyer who wants the badge at the lowest possible entry. It is not the most efficient EV in the segment, but the Mercedes service network and the badge value matter to the target buyer.
