Meet the all-new Mercedes-Benz EQB - Mercedes' highly anticipated all-electric seven-seater SUV.
Combining innovative technology and design with functionality and connectivity, the all-new EQB is set to be the ultimate efficient family-sized SUV.
From range and performance to interior details and assistance features, find out what makes it so special:
Design
Modelled off the incredibly popular GLB, the all-electric version looks rather similar.
Just like the GLB, the EQB s confident and bold stance gives it a strong presence both on and off a driveway.
There are a couple of tweaks that make it distinguishable from the GLB, however. These liken the model to the other EQ models recently launched, including the EQA.
A straight-set bar of LED lights stretches across the width of the EV, whilst the bumper includes a chrome trim.
Interior
When you see the images of the inside of the all-new Mercedes EQB, you ll notice quite a few similarities to the latest GLB. From quality materials to an overall spacious cabin, it looks a haven after a busy day s schedule.
Enhancements include blue LED lighting and premium stitching, signalling it is a member of the brand s all-new EQ family. The dashboard also boasts a fresh trim.
Inside the new EQB, expect two 10-inch displays as standard, along with Mercedes MBUX infotainment system and support through the intuitive Hey Mercedes voice assistant.
An intelligent Sat Nav is a standard-fit feature too, allowing you to program your routes to even incorporate fast public charging points - especially handy for a really long-distance drive.
The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a five-seat electric car as standard, however you do get the option of a third row to make it a seven-seater.
With the seven-seater version, expect 465 litres of boot space, which is just 30 litres less than the five-seat car s 495-litre load bay.
Safety
With the all-new EQB, expect excellent levels of safety and driver assistance.
With Automatic Emergency Braking and Lane-Keep Assist as standard, plus a Pedestrian and Cyclist Warning Detection System, the new Mercedes EQB keeps you, your family and those around your vehicle as safe as possible.
In addition, the EQB s Adaptive Cruise Control system is able to accelerate, brake and steer for you on motorways.
The all-new Mercedes-Benz EQB may even leave room for emergency vehicles to pass and manage its regenerative braking system automatically when you re approaching hills or junctions... now that s impressive!
Range
From official launch, the Mercedes-Benz EQB will come in EQB 350 guise, housing a 66.5kWh battery pack.
This launch model will come with up to 297 miles of range and is compatible with 100kW rapid charging. Using this, you can top-up the batteries from 10% to 80% full in 30 minutes.
In the future, Mercedes will reveal several more variants of the EQB. Most likely, these will include front and four-wheel-drive versions.
A longer-range version of the EQB has been confirmed to be in development as well, which is likely to use a larger battery pack.
The all-new Mercedes EQB will be reaching UK shores soon, with orders set to open late 2021.
Prices will start from around £45,000 for this luxury, all-electric seven-seater SUV.
