2023 Mercedes EQB | POV TEST DRIVE

2023 Mercedes EQB 350 4MATIC Premium POV test drive, backroad drive, highway drive, review.

If you’re not familiar with Mercedes electric line up, the EQB, based on a GLB, is the smallest and cheapest (which doesn’t mean cheap) EV they offer in North America. It's available as a 5 or 7 seater. We get three powertrain variants:

- an entry level, 188-hp EQB 250+,
- 225-hp EQB 300,
- And the most powerful, 288-hp EQB 350 that you see here

All versions get a 70 kWh battery pack, and while the 250 has a single motor and is front wheel drive, other variants have two electric motors, one on each axle, making them all-wheel drive. Other differences? The range - the entry model gives you around 250 miles, the EQB 300 offers up to 243 miles, and the 350 gets 16 miles less - 227 to be exact.

Other electric cars to consider are an Audi Q4 e-tron, BMW iX1, Genesis GV60m, Hyundai Ioniq 5, Kia EV6, Volvo C40 or a Volvo XC40 Recharge.
