Mercedes-Benz EQB
Unlike the other members of the EQ electric family (two letters that will soon disappear from the Mercedes-Benz nomenclature), the EQB closely resembles its gasoline-powered counterpart (GLB), at least physically. Motivation comes from a single- or twin-motor system developing 188 hp or 225 hp, respectively. The EQB can accommodate up to seven passengers, but range and charging speeds don’t match what most competitors offer.
