Video Summary
Key points and findings of the electric car review:- The EQA is a smaller version of the EQS; the naming is intended to correspond to other Mercedes-Benz models.
- The EQS is to the S-Class what the EQA is to the E-Class in sizing.
- Sizing is about the same; the EQA looks different from the E-Class, but it is roughly of equal dimensions.
- Pricing for the 350+ model starts around $79,000, while the 500 is set to start around $87,000.
- Range is estimated to be approximately 300 miles with full charge; this is relatively competitive.
- Styling-wise, the vehicle has an "egg" shape, which is quite aerodynamic; the reviewer thinks the shape works better than it does on the EQS.
- The EQA features AMG Sport Package wheels and looks good despite being aerodynamic friendly.
- On the front driver’s side fender is a filler panel where windshield washer fluid is added.
- The hood is fixed in place.
- The door handles are flush until the car is unlocked; at which time, they pop out.
- The driver’s area includes many impressive features.
- An upgraded hyper screen is available, though it may be rare on standard models.
- Lacking the hyper screen, the space is still covered in Mercedes-Benz star logos for additional quality interior styling.
- The MBUX system is quite impressive.
- There are no physical climate control features, although it is easy to find the on-screen location.
- There is a black box fingerprint reader to pull up specific driver profile configurations.
- In the rear, the seat space is massive, allowing a great amount of legroom.
- No center tunnel in the floor allows additional room for the middle passenger.
- There is no climate control in the rear seat.
- Only USB-C ports are offered.
- Back seats are able to be lowered from a feature in the trunk.
- Driving is smooth and comfortable.
- Steering and handling are predictable, but not particularly quick or exciting to drive.
- It doesn’t have the feeling of true ultra luxury.
- Overall, the reviewer likes the car, deeming it good, but somewhat dull.
- It is best for electric car drivers who want to stick with the Mercedes-Benz brand.
