Overview
As Mercedes-Benz gears up to roll out a comprehensive lineup of electric vehicles, the boxy EQB—based on the gasoline-powered GLB-class SUV—joins the coupe-like EQA among the first offerings under the new EQ subbrand. An all-electric powertrain with at least 221 horsepower and a driving range somewhere between 200 and 250 miles is a good start—although it's possible we'll also see a perkier power number on a dual-motor offering. Similar to the GLB-class SUV, the EQB offers a spacious cabin with upscale materials; a third-row of seats is available but it's pretty snug and most adults won't find it comfortable.

What's New for 2023?
The EQB is an all-new model for the Mercedes-Benz lineup and it should be on sale in North America by the end of 2022.
Pricing and Which One to Buy
Progressive $57,000 (est)
Premium $62,000 (est)
Advanced $67,000 (est)
We expect the EQB's available trim levels to mirror those of the larger EQC, but we don't have set pricing just yet. We don't know exactly how the EQB will be equipped or what features will be standard or optional, but we'll find out more closer to the SUV's on-sale date.

Engine, Transmission, and Performance
The EQB is likely to share its powertrain and battery components with the swoopier EQA, and both are expected to share chassis components with the gasoline-powered GLA-class and GLB-class SUVs. The entry-level model will be the EQB250, which will come with a 221-hp electric motor and front-wheel drive. All-wheel drive may be optional and a more powerful EQB350 model could also be offered. When we get a chance to test drive the EQB, we'll update this story with test results and driving impressions.
