the occasional road bumps/noise coming through as bass pops is kind of annoying, i thought my headphones were dying.
Honestly, despite with those options, I've ordered an EQB250 myself last June and will pick it up in the next few days. A lot of you have mentioned how underwhelming it is, $56k for a base Merc with no distronic and heated seats, and with a deplorable 9 second 0-100km/h time. However, it seems like a lot of you don't realise it is the only electric seven-seater mid-size SUV in the market (except for the EV9 which is still not on sale yet). I believe it can be a decent choice if you are in dire need of seven seats and live in a country with high fuel prices. I live in Hong Kong, where petrol is more than US$10/gallon. Electric cars here also get tax concessions of up to around US$35k (consider we have to pay an additional 100% first registration tax on top of the car's price). For instance, a "base" EQB250 here cost about US$65k with concessions(comes standard with AMG line, comfort access, AMG wheels, Smartphone integration, Blind-spot monitoring etc.). Ironically, a poverty spec GLB250 only cost about US$2-3k less than an already loaded EQB. Consider how expensive owning a gas car is in HK (expensive gas prices and about US$1000 for annual road tax and around US$300/month for monthly parking), I dare to say the EQB is designed for cities like in Hong Kong, where each household only has one car to take their family of five with two grandparents for their weekend gatherings. It may not be the most luxurious, but it's the sole competitor on the market that is able to alleviate the pressure of filling up one of the expensive gases in the world in a daily basis. (Household electricity is less than US$0.30 per kilowatt)
Edit: In HK, all model Ys here are Made in China, which do not offer seven seats.
I’d get the Genesis GV60 over the Merc 100%!!!!
The strong re-gen is because they used the same system for the EQS but didn’t compensate for the difference in weight.
That car was just made by Mercedes to get some of the Government Grands here in Europe as it was just available for cars up to a certain price. At that time the European market was empty and people bought what they could get their hands on in this price bracket. It is an ICE Car converted to a EV. Also good for the average Co2 Emissions they are allowed to reach here. A real EV in that size by Mercedes (like EQE and EQS) will be not available until they replace that platform they are using now. Until that it just fills the gap and will be mainly a product that sells in low numbers in Europe. Maybe there will not even be a 1 to 1 replacement for the A and B Class segment. As Mercedes earns almost no money on those cars anyway and don`t need small cars now anymore (because of more EVs) to keep their Emission targets in the EU.
bought it ystd
Seeing all the things car makers are doing to desperately get more electric range really pisses me off, we could have been paying less for fuel this whole time
"Glass windows" Wow, that's amazing. What will they think of next? 🙄🤣
I like the 7 seat option!!!
So beyond lame
No frunk?! Gotta be kidding me. You can so tell that a traditional car manufacturer slapped a battery and called it EV.. no innovation
6:01 that is some serious disappointment 😂
What are all those pipes and stuff in frunk? How come no other needs all.that
I got an EQB, largely because of its huge boot. It's a lot bigger than e.g. the XC40 Recharge. But also: while it's way overpriced, in lease it's much more competitive over here. I could get a better specced 350 (actually full-option) than an XC40 Recharge, for the same lease cost. It was even significantly cheaper in lease than a bare iX3 that costs €5000 less.
This is a luxury car? Mercedes? Kia is making nicer EV's
Matt, the whole purpose of the EV is to help the planet…. carbon footprint …. you know leave a planet for our children so they don't burn in hell from over heating planet… you might should rethink what the purpose of EV is maybe?
Oh my god the noise in the cabin ! also, how can you say it is efficient at 2.8 Miles/Kwh and you are ALONE in it, what happens when you are a family in it with kids and all ?
