Mercedes-Benz EQB
The EQB is basically an electric variant of the GLB. Introduced a year ago, it stands out from its gas-powered counterpart with smoother lines and unique taillights. A 70.5 kWh battery supplies energy to the two available models—EQB 250 (front-wheel drive, 188 horsepower, new for 2024) and EQB 350 4Matic (all-wheel drive, 288 horsepower, 356 km of range). While relatively short at 4.68 metres long, the EQB accommodates up to seven passengers.
