The EQB is the boxy seven-seat electric SUV in the Mercedes EQ lineup. Built on the same platform as the GLB, but with the EQ powertrain, the EQB delivers the practicality of the smallest seven-seater in the segment and the cabin polish of a properly engineered Mercedes.

What you are buying

A 66.5 kWh battery, dual-motor 4MATIC all-wheel drive making 215 kW combined, and a WLTP range of around 412 km. The cabin layout is the familiar Mercedes MBUX setup, with the seven-seat configuration accessed via the same fold-flat rear bench as the GLB. Charging tops out at 100 kW DC.

Cartell Assessment

The EQB 350 is the small Mercedes for the buyer who wants seven seats in a compact footprint and the Mercedes badge attached to it. Range is honest rather than class-leading, the third row is for kids only, and the price puts it in direct competition with the Tesla Model Y Long Range and the Kia EV9 Air.

AU Outlook

EQB 350 4MATIC pricing in Australia sits in the mid-$100k drive-away range. Verify the latest figures with the Mercedes-Benz Australia configurator.
