The eqb 250 range is the entry point to the Mercedes-Benz electric SUV range, but don’t mistake it as being basic. This front-wheel drive EV offers a long driving range and advanced standard and optional features that are comparable to its higher-priced dual-motor siblings.
Powered by a single electric motor, the EQB 250+’s compact drivetrain sends 188 horsepower to its front wheels. Power delivery is instant and 4MATIC all-wheel drive optimizes grip and handling based on driving conditions.
The car is a smooth and quiet ride, even when pushed hard thanks to its large batteries. Its steering feels light and fluid, and there’s a pliant feel to its ride despite our test car wearing 20-inch salad spinner alloys shod with low-profile 235/45 tyres. There’s plenty of tech at your fingertips including voice activation, wireless smartphone charging and a smart display on the dash.

If you’re after more power and range, the EQB 300 4Matic and 350 4Matic offer more for only a small price increase over the single-motor 250+ model. Both also feature all-wheel drive and are significantly quicker than their smaller sibling.
If you’re a daily commuter, the EQB 250+ is a good option thanks to its EPA-estimated 245-mile combined driving range. Depending on how you charge it, it can reach full battery in around four hours. The EQB can be charged at home, at work or at public charging stations. The table below shows how fast the vehicle can be charged depending on your connection type.
