MERCEDES EQA VS EQB: 2024 COMPARISON!

EV Channels Review

This comparison video pits the 2024 Mercedes EQA against its larger sibling, the EQB, following their respective facelifts. The reviewer highlights significant range improvements for both models, with the EQA now reaching up to 346 miles and the EQB variants also seeing boosts, including a new front-wheel-drive version pushing over 300 miles. Key differences lie in practicality: the EQB offers a larger boot (495L vs 340L) and the crucial advantage of an optional third row of seats, making it a more versatile 7-seater option. The EQA's rear-seat legroom is noted as potentially cramped for taller passengers due to the raised floor common in EVs. Inside, both vehicles share a largely identical design and the latest MBUX infotainment system, with the removal of the touchpad being a notable change. On the road, the EQA is praised for its smooth and quiet ride, feeling softer than a conventional A-Class. The EQB, particularly the new 250+ variant, surprises with adequate power and a comfortable driving experience, with minimal noticeable body lean for everyday driving. The reviewer concludes that while the EQA offers a refined EV experience, the EQB's added practicality and seating flexibility make it the more compelling choice for families, especially with the improved range figures.
