This all-electric compact SUV combines efficiency, versatility, and accessibility, making it an ideal vehicle for individuals and families who are new to the world of electric mobility.

Distinctive Design
The EQB proudly wears the EQ family badge, with its black panel grille and continuous light strip at the front and rear. However, it carves out its own unique identity with its sculpted form, which not only looks great but also enhances performance with its low drag coefficient.
Easy Charging
Charging the EQB is a breeze, especially for first-time EV owners. You can recharge it at home using standard AC power, either through a household socket or a Mercedes-Benz Wallbox.

Additionally, with access to the extensive Mercedes me Charge network, you have a world of charging options at your fingertips, making EV ownership more convenient than ever.
