Video Summary

Certainly! Here is a summary of the Mercedes-Benz EQA review:
- The EQA takes design elements from the EQC, and is designed to be family-friendly.
- The EQA shares some styling aspects as the GLA.
- It has a smooth off grill, which is important for aerodynamics, as well as a stylish rear end.
- The interior has a wrap around screen setup, like other Mercedes models.
- It differs from the tablet style screen seen in the EQC.
- The functionality is abundant and is operated by a touchpad.
- Some scratchy plastics in places don't match the £45,000 price, but the car is made to be durable.
- It has deep cup holders, a section for keys and loose items, and a deep section for bottles or valuables.
- It has USB-C charging ports.
- As the smallest electric SUV in the Mercedes electric car lineup, it doesn’t have the most space, but does have a good amount of headroom.
- The seats are fitted with concave seats for comfortable riding.
- The middle seat is a bit snug, and the car is a four-seater with occasional fifth seat.
- Boot space is 340 liters, and it is 95 liters less than that of the GLA.
- The boot has a low load lip, is nicely squared, and has pockets on the sides for loose items.
- Mercedes claims the car will run for around 263 miles on a full charge.
- When 3/4 full, the reviewer’s test drive showed 190 miles.
- A 10 to 80% charge on a rapid charger takes approximately 40 minutes.
- The acceleration is good.
- The 0-60 mph acceleration time is just under 8.9 seconds.
- There is good roll-on performance and the same take-up as other EVs.
- There is a little bit of road and wind noise, and the ride quality is a bit brittle.
- The regenerative braking is controlled by gear paddles, and when using the paddles, it will slow the car.
