Review, range test and charging test of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 electric SUV, including pricing and recommendations.
The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a midsize electric SUV that was released in Australia in 2022. You can get the EQB as a front-wheel drive EQB 250 model with an optional seven seat configuration, or as it is seen here, as an all-wheel drive dual motor EQB 350 with five seats only.
The EQB competes with the Hyundai Ioniq 5, BMW iX3, Tesla Model Y and other premium SUVs that are fully electric. It is largely based on the Mercedes GLB model.
As always, we don’t accept advertising from car manufacturers, and we’re powered by Budget Direct - so this is an independent, honest review of the Mercedes-Benz EQB.

Great review Tom. I really liked the table section when you put the 0-100 times and weights against segment competitors. I'd like to see you guys do some scoring in a table against segment competitors with things like cabin noise, seat comfort, ride quality, handling etc as well if that's possible! I imagine many watching these videos are wondering how they compare to other cars you've tested that are similar.

@richardbuckingham4329 Год назад

I love the range and recharging test, it’s a great innovation. I’ll be watching all of your BEV videos 👍

@chasingcars Год назад

Thanks, Richard!

@abhineetsurya4334 Год назад

Been watching all the reviews on this channel for very long time now , would love to see GLB 200 review too please? Cant find much about it on YT .

@Ageratos01 Год назад

Thanks for the video and the response in the previous video about the fbt for EV's. Keen to see comparisons from BYD through to Hyundai, Kia and Tesla etc.

@chasingcars Год назад

Much more coming in future!

@dennisjohnstone4739 Год назад

Another good review Tom. However I can't understand MB not including electric front seats as standard at this price point. Toyota includes this feature in RAV4 Cruiser Hybrids so surely MB could also. Another miss is the charging speed as you point out, not convenient on longer journeys.

Hey Tom, almost a year on do you think the EQB is still a good buy for a compact 7-seater? What are the alternatives these days?

@HelloMyFriend_ 7 месяцев назад

Get a used EQB for sure. Nothing beats it price wise. Kia EV9 is way too expensive and so is the ID Buzz long wheelbase. Perhaps an even more used model X.

@ActuarialAnalytics Год назад

Great review, really highlights strengths and weaknesses. How would this stack up vs the upcoming iX1 in your view?

@chasingcars Год назад

Thanks! Looking forward to driving the iX1 soon. For one thing the EQB is a bit bigger (by around 16cm). Hopefully the iX1 has a more comfy rear seat and better range.

@Foad33 11 месяцев назад

Hi, whats the actual distance you can drive with this car in 100% charge in real life?

@unknownskyman2156 7 месяцев назад

Taking into account aircon or heating probably about mid to high 200s

@nikhildeshpande7574 Год назад

Very informative review. I really liked every aspect of this review Tom. Well done. I also appreciate the range test you’ve developed which will be very helpful to potential EV owners to compare EVs. I agree that 250 is the one to get for all the reasons you’ve outlined. Could you please do a review of that? It will be interesting to see if it gets better range and if the ride suffers due to lack of four wheel drive. Again, thanks for the great review.

@chasingcars Год назад

Thanks, Nikhil. I will try to get my hands on the EQB250.

@Thulebeez Год назад

As Lexus owner(ICE) was hoping the new upcoming RZ450e would do better in the range test and charging test , however it looks like my first EV will be the EQB350 since Merc is determined to do more better efficient EV's.

@pradeepmagan6951 Год назад

Hope it works considering the issues they have in China and not selling in EU

@chasingcars Год назад

Seemed to work during my test.

@sternwho3932 Год назад

What is the US price?

@chasingcars Год назад

Seems to start at USD55K but I recommend checking that out for yourself, as we aren't experts on the US market

@vsboy2577 Год назад

Lots of Ev with no infrastructure to go with them😂

@TheXennner Год назад

Look while I agree with what you say, what it’s going to come down is demand which finally turns into an election issue, if there is one thing in the world that makes things move faster, it’s making things an election issue and being a reason a politician comes into power or not. As it happens this is one of those things that are brewing for people in power so hopefully soon this won’t be an issue anymore.

@vsboy2577 Год назад

@@TheXennner buddy Australia barely got the basics right yet. Let alone a complex electric charging stations infrastructure rollout to both suburbs cities and towns. In the size of Australia is almost comical .

@chasingcars Год назад

And yet more coming along all the time.

@richardbuckingham4329 Год назад

Unless you buy a Tesla

@RonGabriel Год назад

Nope

@kodessa Год назад

This is the most blandest looking EV I've seen. It looks way too frumpy, unlike BMW's iX's which are taught and structured.

@chasingcars Год назад

That’s OK. I think you’d find a lot of people for whom the iX is not their cup of tea.

@yuhboyify Год назад

Honestly, this Mercedes and the Bmw ix and ix1 are just ghastly to look at.

@yuhboyify Год назад

I think BMW design peaked with the F87 m2 (last gen), the G30 5 series 550 and current model x5. It's all going downhill now. Fussy, edgy, lacking subtle class and grace.
