Pros: Optional third row available; Laidback, comfortable driving demeanor with responsive handling
Cons: Small third-row compromises cargo space; just OK electric driving range; no performance variant
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB is an all-electric, compact luxury SUV that provides a great balance between drivability and interior spaciousness at an entry-level price point for the segment. And it’s not just a cool three-point-star badge that you get for Mercedes money in the EQB. You also get a comfortable cabin, slick but user-friendly technology and a calm, quiet ride going down the road. It’s basically an electric GLB-Class, swapping out that car’s middling powertrains for refined, but quick and engaging, electric propulsion.
Besides the classy and approachable design, snazzy technology and EV efficiency, the EQB’s biggest party trick is probably its optional third row, allowing for seating for seven occupants. It’s small, and probably only useful in rare occasions and for your smallest occupants, but it’s available for customers who demand the extra seats.
