"A day late and a dollar short" best describes the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB's place in the luxury electric SUV segment. Range and efficiency are mediocre, as is value. The EQB offers a relatively spacious and quiet interior, but overall we'd recommend nearly any other electric SUV over this one.Read full review

Overview

by the Edmunds Experts

12/12/2023

Think an electric Mercedes-Benz SUV is out of your financial reach? Consider the 2024 EQB. This is the least expensive EV that Mercedes currently sells. It also has some appealing qualities such as a surprisingly spacious, stylish and quiet interior with a small third-row seat suitable for children. We also like its impressive digital instrumentation and infotainment displays that give the EQB a fully modern look. However, Mercedes bases the EQB on the gas-powered GLB, so this small electric SUV is something of a compromise. Its driving range is below average, for example, and despite an appealing base price, we don't find it offers much value or driving enjoyment.

Am I Ready for an EV?

EV ownership works best if you can charge (240V) at home or at work ^{This typically means a 240V home installation, but you could also have a similar setup at your office or other places your car is already parked for several hours each day. Don't expect a regular household outlet (120V) to suffice unless you've got a plug-in hybrid, in which case overnight charging at home is feasible.}
If you can’t charge at home, charging at a charging station could take at least 10x longer than at a gas station ^{With public charging infrastructure still in its infancy, the user experience can be maddeningly inconsistent. Tesla owners tend to rave about the reliability and speed of the company's proprietary Supercharger stations, but rival DC fast options have thus far been plagued by technical issues and overcrowding. It's an evolving landscape and our best advice is to do your research on the available options for the EV you want to buy.}
Adding a 240V home charging system could cost up to $1,600 or more ^{If your existing electrical service can handle the additional demands of EV charging, you may be able to add Level 2 charging at home for less than a grand, including installation. But your costs will multiply if you need to upgrade your electrical panel or add a dedicated circuit.}

Edmunds spotlight: All the changes for 2024

Since the EQB went on sale in 2022, Mercedes has put the electric SUV on a steady improvement program. Last year, the single-motor front-wheel-drive EQB 250+ version arrived with more range and a lower price but slower acceleration. Now, the 2024 EQB gets a styling update that gives it more of a resemblance to the larger EQE SUV. Inside, a next-generation version of Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) debuts. This is the infotainment interface that allows you to control many of the EQB's functions, even by voice commands. Mercedes says the 2024 EQB also comes with what it calls Plug & Charge technology that makes it easier to connect to a compatible public charging station for no-hassle recharging.

Competitors to consider

If the EQB isn't your cup of tea, there are appealing alternatives. Although they lack the same kind of brand cachet, non-luxury EVs such as the Hyundai Ioniq 5 and Tesla Model Y boast superior performance and range. We also recommend checking out the Genesis GV60. It's pretty much the luxury version of the Ioniq 5 and oozes style inside and out. Another option is the Volvo XC40 Recharge. It gets drivetrain improvements for 2024, making it even more appealing. Before buying any of these EVs, read our Expert Rating of the Mercedes-Benz EQB.

Edmunds Expert Rating

edmunds TESTED

by the Edmunds Experts

Average

7.4

out of 10

We drove the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB on our test track and on real roads. Our Edmunds team conducts rigorous independent vehicle testing, driving 500,000 miles a year.^{The Edmunds Vehicle Testing Team evaluates a fresh batch of vehicles every week, pairing objective assessments at our test track with real-world driving on city streets, freeways and winding roads. The data we gather results in our Expert Ratings. They’re based on 30-plus scores that cover every aspect of the automotive experience.}

Performance

7.5/10

How does the EQB drive? We tested the EQB 350, which has dual electric motors and all-wheel drive. Acceleration around town feels more than adequate. But as luxury EVs go, its as-tested 0-60 mph sprint of 5.7 seconds is merely average. We don't like that you always have to press the brake pedal to bring the EQB to a complete stop. The brake pedal is touchy, too, making it hard to consistently stop smoothly. In many EVs these days you can simply use the electric motors to coast to a quick and smooth stop in what's known as one-pedal driving.

The EQB's low-slung battery weight gives it a more hunkered-down feeling than its boxy proportions would indicate, so it feels sportier to drive than it looks and is a bit more athletic than its gasoline-powered counterpart, the Mercedes GLB. But again, when compared against its EV contemporaries, it simply fails to stand out.

Comfort

7.5/10

How comfortable is the EQB? The EQB 350 is surprisingly thin on standard comfort features. The synthetic leather seats provided decent levels of cushion and support, but they lack perforation, which could mean they'll be hot in the summer months. The second-row seats aren't as nicely cushioned, but they can slide fore and aft and recline a bit for better comfort. Our test car didn't have the optional third row, but based on the Mercedes GLB's third row, we'd expect comfort to be marginal in those seats.

Ride quality is nothing exceptional for the luxury class, but it's also nothing to complain about either, which is something we can't say for any Tesla Model Y. The most standout quality of the EQB is its quiet cabin. It's objectively quieter than the Audi Q4 e-tron and free of squeaks that seem to creep up in the Tesla Model Y.

Interior

8/10

How’s the interior? It's easy to get in and out of the EQB's cabin thanks to the generous head clearance and low step-in height, and it helps to maximize interior passenger space. Shoulder room is a bit limited given that the EQB is slightly narrower than what you'd typically find in this class, but headroom and legroom are more than adequate. If you like the upright driving position of a traditional SUV, you'll find it here. Visibility is naturally good all around, again thanks to large square windows. The driver-side mirror can sometimes obscure things when you're making a left turn, however.

Build & Price

Technology

7.5/10

How’s the tech? Standard tech features are surprisingly scarce at this price. Most obvious is the lack of advanced driver aids. They are limited to only the very basic forward collision warning, blind-spot warning and a rearview camera. The others are all optional. There are two USB-C ports for each row, plus a 110-volt plug for rear passengers, which is kind of nice.

What the EQB does offer as standard is a native navigation system, which is becoming more rare these days, and its cloud-based voice recognition system is great at following commands and telling bad jokes. We didn't mind the base sound system either, but we would want the surround-view cameras that come in the Pinnacle package, which also comes with an upgraded Burmester audio.

Storage

7/10

How’s the storage? The EQB makes good use of its boxy shape. Cargo space is on the upper end for an extra-small SUV but unfortunately trails most of its more direct all-electric SUV competition in total volume. The low liftover height and standard power liftgate help make loading easier, and we like the flexibility of folding the rear seatbacks in three separate sections. We wish there were remote seatback releases at the hatch. Instead, you have to fold the seats flat from the second row.

There's a decent amount of space for rear-facing infant seats with an average-size adult in the front. You just have to ensure the rear seats are in their rearmost position. Car seat anchors are very visible but can be a little hard to attach to because they are so shallow. There are three top tether anchors so you could put a seat in any position.

The large door pockets and a decent-size center bin would be good in its gas-powered counterpart, but the EQB's competitors provide more. The cupholders have some neat spring-loaded tabs that secure regular beverages as well as slim cans.

Range and Efficiency

6.5/10

How are the range and efficiency? [Editor's note: The following relates to our testing of a 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB. We will update this section once we test the 2024 model but in general we think you can expect similar results.] The EPA estimates that the EQB 350, which is what we tested, has a range of 227 miles on a full charge and will use 35 kWh of electricity for every 100 miles traveled. Neither figure is particularly impressive when compared to its closest competition. On the Edmunds EV Range Test, our test EQB 350 traveled 242 miles, 15 miles more than its EPA estimate. It was also slightly more efficient, consuming 32.2 kWh of energy for every 100 miles. Overall, we think the EQB's range should be enough for most EV buyers on a daily basis but is less than what most rival EVs offer.

As far as charging goes, the EQB's maximum DC fast-charging speed is also slower than most competitors (100 kW). Under optimal conditions, Mercedes estimates you'll be able to go from 10% to 80% battery charge in 32 minutes if you're quick charging. That sounds quick by some measures, but the EQB has a usable battery capacity that's slightly less than its stablemates.

Value

6.5/10

Is the EQB a good value? The EQB might have made a case for itself a few years ago, but given the pace that new EVs have been entering the market, this one feels dead on arrival. Our tested model had virtually zero options and was priced around $60,000. At that price, there are too many other options for EVs with more features, more range and more personality. The EQB's build quality feels fundamentally good for the price, but beyond that its competition simply has more to offer.

Wildcard

7.5/10

Compared to the gasoline-burning GLB, the EQB offers smoother acceleration and better driving composure. But against its EV competition, there's nothing really special. The same goes for its styling. It's an evolution on the GLB's body, appearing slightly more upmarket, but nothing more beyond that. We don't think an EV has to adopt wildly radical styling, but the EQB borders on boring.

Which EQB does Edmunds recommend?

Unless you need all-wheel drive, the EQB 250+ is your best bet. It has the lowest price and the most driving range, and while it's not particularly powerful or quick, the other EQB models don't scorch the pavement with their performance. Whichever version you pick, make sure to get the Driver Assistance package since it bundles many helpful driver assist features such as adaptive cruise control and a lane centering system.

I bought a Mercedes Benz EQB 350 on 01.18.2023. I traded in a Lexus RX450H.

2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB First Impressions

by Nick Yekikian

•12/12/2023

What is the EQB?

The Mercedes-Benz EQB is the brand's smallest electric vehicle and the most affordable way to get into an electric Mercedes. It's based on the gas-powered GLB SUV and looks a lot like it inside and out, with the exception of some minor styling differences like the solid front grille. The EQB is part of Mercedes' electric EQ lineup that includes the larger and more expensive EQE and EQS SUVs.

For 2024, the EQB is getting a light refresh that brings it more in line with Mercedes' other EQ offerings. The most noticeable change is the new front fascia. The black panel at the car's nose now features Mercedes' three-pointed star pattern and the front bumper is new. Around the rear, the EQB's taillights get a new look and there is a new wheel design on offer. The changes are similarly light inside where the only visual difference is a new steering wheel.

How much power and range does the EQB have?

The EQB is again offered in three trims with varying power outputs and motor configurations. The base EQB 250+ has a single electric motor powering the front wheels that makes 188 horsepower and 284 lb-ft of torque. The other two trims, the EQB 300 and 350, are both all-wheel-drive with an electric motor on each axle. The 300 makes 225 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque, while the top-spec 350 model makes 288 horsepower and 384 lb-ft.

According to Mercedes, the 2024 EQB also gets a small jump in range. We'll have to wait until the EPA puts the EQB through its testing cycle to see just how much range is added, however. Charging speeds haven't changed, and the EQB is limited to 100 kW at a DC fast charger and 9.6 kW at a home charger.

How's the EQB's interior?

Inside the EQB is largely the same as it was last year, aside from the new steering wheel. We've found that it's easy to get in and out of the EQB's cabin thanks to generous head clearance and a low step-in height. Its boxier styling also helps to maximize interior passenger space. It also features the upright driving position typical of SUVs, and visibility is good all around, again thanks to the boxy design and large square windows.

How's the EQB's tech?

The infotainment gets a slight change and implements what Mercedes calls a "zero layer" interface. Essentially, the refreshed infotainment system does its best to minimize how many inputs it takes to navigate to a specific menu. This should make Mercedes' center display more user-friendly, something we wished for during our first impressions of the EQB.

Another minor change is the addition of Dolby Atmos to the optional Burmester audio system. True audiophiles might find it a pleasing addition.

Edmunds says

The changes to the EQB for 2024 are small, but the added range might make it a more compelling offering in a crowded class. We just have to wait until the EPA gives its verdict on just how much extra range this small EV is getting.
