The Mercedes-Benz EQB adds a new model the EQB 250 to the lineup for 2023 but otherwise carries over with minimal changes.

The all-new Mercedes EQB is powered by two different all-electric powertrains, the EQB300 produces 225 horsepower with a range of 230 miles and the EQB350 that outputs 288 with a range of 223 miles. Both versions are only available in all-wheel drive.

The EQB comes with an impressive list of standard features including 18-inch aluminum wheels, LED headlights, daytime running and fog lights, heated power mirrors with turn signal indicators, power front seats with memory settings, dual-zone climate control, an HD radio with 8-speakers, a 10.25-inch touchscreen, navigation, and Apple CarPlay\Android Auto phone connectivity.

Safety features are abundant with 7 airbags, a rear view camera, 4-wheel anti-lock brakes with brake assist, hill hold control and hill descent control, a tire specific low tire pressure warning system, Active Brake Assist with Emergency Braking, pedestrian detection, rain sensing wipers and a driver attention alert, all as standard equipment.

Additional customization can be done by adding optional equipment including several wheel options which allow the buyer to upgrade to 19-inch wheels, heated and ventilated front seats, a heated steering wheel, Panorama Roof, Blind Spot Warning, a head-up display, SiriusXM radio, Burmester Surround Sound System, and wireless charging.

Several packages are also available including a Driver Assistance Package, Technology Package, and AMG Night Package.

The EQB slots into the Mercedes line-up between the subcompact GLA and the larger and more expensive GLC. It competes with other mid-size SUV's such as the Audi Q4 e-tron, Cadillac Lyriq and Volvo C40 Recharge. A third-row is available which brings the passenger capacity from five to seven making it a strong competitor in the EV market.
