Video Summary
Here is the summary:This is a range test review of a Mercedes EQB 300 4Matic, which is a 7-seater vehicle. The EQB is a very common taxi in the Oslo area.
The electric range is rated at 317 kilometers with a 65-kilowatt hour battery. This version weighs 2300 kilograms.
Some features and benefits include a motorized liftgate and a common seven seats configuration. The charging power, according to the dashboard, is capped at 33 kilowatts. When plugging in at 79%, the charger provides only a maximum of 33 kilowatts at first. A full charge at the home station is expected to take around 7 minutes.
For a 94-kilometer test in 7.5 degrees Celsius, the EQB recorded 25.9 kilowatt hours per 100 kilometers. The car seems to be a bit nervous and jiggles on the steering wheel with cornering. The auto-steer feels like a Chinese car, so maybe it’s better to get a Model Y.
The reviewer did a boom-stick stereo music recording, which reveals that the Burmester sound is quite nice and features a deep bass, though it seems to need tuning. A full charge at a fast charging Ionity station at 6% reveals a 102-kilowatt charging rate.
In the final remarks, the reviewer notes: Mercedes, for a 60,000 Euro price point, feels more conventional than a Tesla and maybe is due for upgrades to get more range. It's considered a 358-kilometer winter-range EV.
