Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:The EQB is based on the GLB's design but is recognizable as an EV from the black panel grill and continuous LED light strip. The car's rear is the least favorite angle, which is often the case with boxier SUVs. While it doesn’t stand out, the EQB's boxy design offers more practicality.
The EQB 250 is front-wheel drive with a 66.5 kWh battery, delivering 140 kW of power and 385 Nm of torque, with a 370 km range and a 0-100 time of 8.9 seconds. The EQB 350 has dual motors powering all four wheels, the same 66.5 kWh battery, and produces 215 kW of power and 520 Nm of torque. This gives it a 350 km range, and 0-100 time of 6.2 seconds.
The range is lower than rivals, which have over 400km. The 350km range is workable for regular drivers. Regular driving for a week only required a single charge.
Charging cables include the standard emergency cable, which takes approximately 34 hours at 9 km per hour of charge, and a Type 2 to Type 2. A 7kW home charger will charge the car in 9.5 hours. With its maximum charging input of 100kW, charging from 10% to 80% takes 33 minutes.
It offers an easy, smooth drive, with advanced driver-assist technology. It has regen braking, controlled by paddle shifters and a 360-degree camera.
The interior is visually majestic, and there are dual 10.25-inch screens. However, screen controls are slightly difficult to reach, and manual heated and cooled seats do not offer a user profile save. The rear features lots of space. There is an option for a third row, but this limits boot space.
Driveway pricing starts at $96,000 for the EQB 250 and around $114,000 for the EQB 350 4MATIC.
The EQB is a blend of luxury, practicality, and eco-friendly driving. While not necessarily the best in its class, it holds ground against competitors in the EV market and is one of the few electric seven-seaters available.
