What's New for 2025?

For 2025, the EQB 350 4MATIC largely carries forward the slick updates from its recent 2024 refresh. This means you get the eye-catching grille adorned with Mercedes' star pattern, a tweaked front bumper, and updated taillight designs for a more modern look. Inside, the latest MBUX infotainment system shines on a 10.25-inch central display, now with handy Plug & Charge capability for easier public charging. Expect potential minor tweaks like new paint choices or wheel designs, solidifying this already appealing package.

Design & Exterior

The EQB 350 4MATIC rocks a distinctive, slightly boxy yet very stylish SUV silhouette that maximizes interior space while still screaming Mercedes. Up front, the signature black panel grille, now with an elegant star pattern, is flanked by crisp LED headlamps. The 350 4MATIC often includes AMG Line exterior touches and unique alloy wheels, enhancing its sporty appeal. Key dimensions are a city-friendly 184.4 inches long, 72.2 inches wide (no mirrors), and 65.6 inches tall, making it a breeze to park while still having presence.

Interior, Tech & Cargo

Step inside the EQB 350 4MATIC and you're greeted by an upscale, well-crafted cabin with that signature Mercedes ambiance. A major party trick is the optional third row, turning this compact SUV into a seven-seater – perfect for school runs! You’ll find the excellent MBUX system with twin 10.25-inch screens, intuitive "Hey Mercedes" voice control, and wireless Apple CarPlay/Android Auto. Cargo space is decent, offering 17.5 cubic feet behind the second row, expanding to a generous 60.4 cubic feet with seats folded. No frunk, though!

Performance & Driving Experience

This Merc is no slouch! The EQB 350 4MATIC zips from 0-60 mph in a brisk 6.0 seconds. Its dual-motor setup (an induction motor at the front, permanent magnet synchronous at the rear) delivers a healthy 288 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of instant torque, all channeled through its confident 4MATIC all-wheel-drive system. Expect a smooth, refined ride typical of Mercedes, with nimble handling for urban adventures. Multiple regenerative braking modes, including an intelligent auto mode, allow for efficient driving and near one-pedal operation.

Range, Battery & Charging

The EQB 350 4MATIC is powered by a 66.5 kWh usable battery, providing a Green Cars Compare's calculated real-world range of 218 miles – enough for most daily drives and weekend jaunts. It boasts an efficiency of 3.28 mi/kWh. For charging, the standard 9.6 kW onboard AC charger can top up the battery overnight (around 7.5 hours for a full charge). When you're on the move, DC fast charging at up to 100 kW can take you from 10-80% in about 32 minutes, using the US-standard CCS Type 1 port.

Safety & Driver-Assistance Features

Mercedes doesn't skimp on safety, and the EQB 350 4MATIC is expected to uphold strong safety credentials, with previous model years earning IIHS Top Safety Pick+ awards. Standard kit includes essentials like Active Brake Assist, Blind Spot Assist, and Lane Keeping Assist. For even more peace of mind, the optional Driver Assistance Package typically adds advanced features such as Distronic adaptive cruise control with route-based speed adaptation and Active Steering Assist, making highway cruising a doddle.

Warranty & Maintenance Coverage

The 2025 EQB 350 4MATIC comes with Mercedes-Benz's standard New Vehicle Limited Warranty, covering you for 4 years or 50,000 miles. The crucial high-voltage battery gets even better coverage: 8 years or 100,000 miles, offering assurance against premature degradation. Powertrain coverage aligns with the basic warranty. While extensive complimentary maintenance isn't typically standard, various pre-paid maintenance plans are usually available through Mercedes dealers to help manage running costs and keep your EV in top shape.
