Mercedes EQB Review
Mercedes-Benz is continuing its march into the future with its latest fossil-fuel-free offering – but does the EQB do enough to tempt you away from the combustion engine?
Seven seats as standard, a sumptuous interior, four-wheel-drive and a range of up to 257 miles between charges - the all-electric Mercedes-Benz EQB SUV could be the stylish solution to all of your family’s needs.
The EQB sits between the smaller EQA and the larger EQC in the Mercedes-Benz electric range. You could also see it as the battery-powered equivalent of the traditionally-fuelled GLB SUV.
Read moreThe brilliantly-designed EQB is also a major rival to the likes of the Audi Q4 e tron and the BMW iX3.
And with a tempting amount of equipment offered as standard, the EQB is well worth a look, particularly if having practicality in a compact package is important to you.
Firstly, all EQB models, no matter which trim level you choose, have a third row of single folding seats meaning you can accommodate seven people. All EQB’s also get Mercedes-Benz ‘4MATIC’ four wheel drive system, too. The boot is generous, running to 465 litres with the third row seats folded flat.
There are two main EQB variants - the 228 hp ’300 4MATIC’ EQB and the more powerful ‘350 4MATIC’, which takes the horsepower up to a potent 292 hp.
Both models utilise a 66.5 kWh battery, and both versions also have the same range - between 250 and 257 miles before you need to stop and plug-in the EQB. But the 350 4MATIC is certainly the most sprightly of the two, covering 0-62mph in just 6.0 seconds.
Using a standard 7 kW wallbox charger, you can replenish the EQB’s battery from 10-100 per cent in just 5 hrs 45 minutes. Meanwhile the EQB has also 100 kW fast-charging capabilities, which will take the battery from 10 - 80 per cent full in just 32 minutes.
Meanwhile there are two trim levels available with both the 300 and 350 EQB - base ‘AMG Line’ followed by ‘AMG Line Premium’.
Choosing the AMG Line gives lease customers goodies such as ambient lighting, cruise control, a ‘Parking Package’ with reversing camera, heated front seats, active brake assist, lane keep assist, as well as Mercedes-Benz’ eye-catching twin-screen ‘MBUX’ multimedia system with a widescreen cockpit.
The AMG Line Premium adds things like keyless go, an uprated sound system, wireless mobile charging, a panoramic glass sunroof and larger 19 inch alloys.
Also remember that because there are zero emissions at the tailpipe, the EQB makes a lot of sense as a company car lease, as business customers would pay just 2% Benefit in Kind (BIK) tax for the year 2022-2023.

Amazing support from David Harding throughout the process. The leasing process was smooth. The supplier took a little bit of time. But David and the entire Select team was supportive, very responsive and very open and informative. The process was smooth. I will recommend Select Leasing without hesitation.
Amazing service, always got back to me with my many questions and concerns. Select were highly recommended to me. I’m so happy with service, car and follow up customer service.
I chose to go with select car leasing after making many phone calls to other lease companies. Herbert at select car was the least pushy most friendly and informative person to get the right car and deal for me. It was effortless and so simple. He and his team were so attentive and the whole process was smooth quick and easy. So far excellent customer service. Would definitely recommend Thank you
