2023 MERCEDES-BENZ EQB 350 4MATIC REVIEW

EV Channels Review

The 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 4MATIC is presented as a functional and well-executed electric SUV, leveraging the existing GLB platform for a familiar Mercedes-Benz experience. The reviewer highlights its compact yet practical size, making it easy to park and suitable for urban driving. While not a ground-up EV design, it effectively transitions ICE customers to electrification with its subtle approach. Key strengths include a comfortable and quiet interior, good ride quality, and adequate acceleration for its class. However, the reviewer criticizes the third-row seating as impractical, consuming valuable cargo space and offering minimal room, suggesting it's an option best avoided. The infotainment system is deemed adequate but not groundbreaking, and the absence of one-pedal driving is noted as a potential disappointment for EV enthusiasts. Real-world range appears realistic, with the reviewer observing around 300-320 km in cool temperatures, suggesting advertised ranges are achievable in warmer weather. Despite its drawbacks, the EQB 350 is recommended for those loyal to the Mercedes brand seeking an accessible entry into the EV market.
