Video Summary
Here is the summary of the YouTube video:The Mercedes EQA Plus has a price of $92,500.25, with a range of 426 km. This is the most affordable electric Mercedes available. It has an AMG line interior, electric motor of 140 kW driving the front wheels, and 385 Nm of torque, which is 10 more Nm than the outgoing EQA. The battery is 70.5 kWh. Acceleration is 0-100km/h in 8.6 seconds.
The interior is busy. Both the interior options are dark and black. There is a massive panoramic glass roof to let in more light, which can slide back. It is possible to change the colour of the ambient lighting.
The car is fun and comfortable to drive, but the loudest thing in here is the fan. Put it in sports mode and it makes it even better!
With Ecotricity’s EcoSaver plan, a full charge costs approximately $15, giving you more than 400km emission-free driving.
In terms of handling, because of its battery being underneath the car, it gives it a lower centre of gravity.
Value: Compared to the Chinese brands, there are more options available, more tech and it is cheaper than the Lexus version.
Charging: It has an official rating of 100kW charge rate, making for relatively quick charging.
The Mercedes Me app lets you control the car remotely, i.e. turn on the AC, check the charge level, etc. The integrated browser can be used while charging.
Verdict: A practical city car which is also useful for long trips. You can get a good looking and well-appointed Mercedes Benz for a reasonable price.
60 out of 100 ‘spuds’ is the final score.
