Expert Reviews

Expert reviews: 

Pros
One of the nicer cabins in this class,
turbo engine adds excitement,
satisfying ride-and-handling traits.

Cons
Cargo area is tight,
worse fuel economy than many competitors,
turbo engine limited to priciest model.

By: 
caranddriver.com

Pros
Plenty of tech on board
Smooth hybrid system
Nice cabin quality

Cons
Fiddly climate controls
Slightly firm ride
Front-end styling is divisive

The EQB is an all-new model for the Mercedes-Benz lineup and should be on sale in North America sometime this summer.

Pros
Practical interior,
brisk acceleration with upgraded powertrain,
nicely-trimmed interior.

Cons
Third row isn't very roomy,
battery takes up some cargo space,
fussy infotainment system.

By:

In an increasingly crowded field of electric crossovers, the boxy 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB offers something refreshingly against-the-grain.

Pros
Just-right shape bridges boxy and aero
Quiet, comfortable ride
Available third-row seat
Sliding second-row seat
No sci-fi EV gimmickry

Cons
Premium price
Lower range than most rivals
Third row is tiny
Infotainment screens’ learning curve
Top active safety costs extra
