Mercedes EQB electric SUV to go on sale in December 2022

The EQB is not based on the brand’s dedicated electric vehicle architecture (EVA) and instead shares its underpinnings with the Mercedes GLB.

Having successfully introduced high-end electric models like the EQS and EQC, Mercedes-Benz is now gearing up to launch its fourth all-electric offering in the Indian market. According to a recent report, the EQB electric SUV will go on sale in December 2022.

The EQB is not based on the brand’s dedicated electric vehicle architecture (EVA) and instead shares its underpinnings with the Mercedes GLB.

On the exterior, the electric version of the 7-seater SUV gets a few modifications including a blanked-off grille with a large Mercedes logo in the centre and LED daytime running lights that stretch across the front fascia. It has a conventional interior featuring a dual-screen setup. It has the same dashboard as the GLB.

In the international market, the EQB is offered with two electric powertrain options. These include the 300 4Matic dual-motor with 225 BHP and a 350 4Matic variant with a 288 BHP dual-motor setup.

The Mercedes EQB is said to offer a maximum range of 419 km on a single charge (WLTP cycle).
