What Is the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB?
The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a five- or seven-seat small luxury SUV. If it looks vaguely familiar, that’s because it shares a platform with the gasoline-powered Mercedes-Benz GLB. Seating is adult-friendly in the first and second rows, and while the optional third row sounds handy, it’s usable only for small children or pets. There are three EQB trims: The EQB 250+ has 188 horsepower and comes with front-wheel drive, while the EQB 300 4Matic and EQB 350 4Matic have all-wheel drive and horsepower ratings of 225 and 288, respectively. The EQB’s rivals include the BMW iX, Genesis Electrified GV70, Tesla Model Y and Volvo XC40 Recharge.
What’s New on the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB?
Mercedes-Benz has made a few cosmetic tweaks to the EQB to bring its looks more in line with the company’s other EQ electric vehicles. Among minor technical revisions, the EQB also gets a new steering wheel with touch-sensitive controls, and the infotainment system is upgraded to Mercedes’ latest MBUX software.

Should I Buy the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB?
The EQB has a comfortable ride, high-quality cabin and OK driving range — at least in its base 250+ FWD trim. We’re fans of the EQB’s relaxed driving manners; just don’t expect overly sporty dynamics when you’re behind the wheel. A curb weight of more than 4,700 pounds means this luxury electric SUV works best when it’s not rushed.
