Mercedes EQB: Which Version Should You Buy?

The Mercedes EQB is an electric SUV 5-doors offered in one generation, with the original range starting in 2021 and a restyling introduced in 2023.

The Mercedes EQB is an electric SUV 5-doors offered in one generation, with the original range starting in 2021 and a restyling introduced in 2023. Choosing among the listed versions comes down to three measurable priorities: the 190 hp FWD EQB250 models provide the lightest-duty performance, the 228 hp AWD EQB300 models add traction and power, and the 292 hp AWD EQB350 models deliver the quickest acceleration and strongest torque. Battery range, price, dimensions, and charging figures are not measured in the supplied data, so they cannot decide this comparison.

Mercedes EQB generations and version changes

The 1 generation started in 2021 as an SUV 5-doors with four listed versions: EQB250 Plus, EQB350, EQB300, and EQB250. All use Electro power and an Automatic gearbox with 1 gear. EQB250 Plus and EQB250 are FWD, while EQB300 and EQB350 are AWD.

The 2023 restyling remains part of the 1 generation and contains three versions: EQB300 AT, EQB350 AT, and EQB250 AT. The principal specification hierarchy remains unchanged: EQB250 AT has 190 hp and FWD, EQB300 AT has 228 hp and AWD, and EQB350 AT has 292 hp and AWD. The restyled versions add a listed 235/55 R18 wheel size alongside the existing 235/50 R19 and 235/45 R20 alternatives.

Mercedes EQB specs and engine comparison

Because every listed Mercedes EQB uses Electro power, engine displacement, cylinder count, cylinder layout, and boost are not measured. Power per litre therefore cannot be calculated without inventing an engine-size figure. The useful comparisons are horsepower, torque, drive, acceleration, and weight.

The step from EQB250 or EQB250 AT to EQB300 or EQB300 AT adds 38 hp, 28 kW, and 5 Nm, while changing FWD to AWD. Moving from EQB300 or EQB300 AT to EQB350 or EQB350 AT adds a further 64 hp, 47 kW, and 130 Nm. Compared directly with the 190 hp versions, the 292 hp versions provide 102 hp, 75 kW, and 135 Nm more.

EQB250 Plus and EQB250 have identical listed power, torque, acceleration, top speed, drive, weights, ground clearance, wheels, suspension, and brakes. The data provides no numerical reason to prefer one over the other. Price and equipment are not measured.

Mercedes EQB performance, range, and economy

The 228 hp EQB300 and EQB300 AT reach 100 km/h 0.9 seconds sooner than the 190 hp versions. The 292 hp EQB350 and EQB350 AT improve on the EQB300 pair by 1.8 seconds and on the EQB250 group by 2.7 seconds. This makes either EQB350 version the clear performance choice from the supplied figures.

The original EQB350 has no measured top-speed figure, while EQB350 AT is listed at 160 km/h. The other versions are also listed at 160 km/h. Mercedes EQB range and electricity consumption are not measured, so no version can be presented as the range or economy winner.

Mercedes EQB weight, ground clearance, and wheels

The original EQB350 weighs 75 kg less than EQB300 while producing 64 hp more. In the restyled range, EQB350 AT is 85 kg lighter than EQB300 AT and again produces 64 hp more. EQB350 AT is also 10 kg lighter than the original EQB350, although its gross weight is 20 kg higher.

Weight per horsepower sharpens the comparison. EQB250 Plus, EQB250, and EQB250 AT each carry approximately 11.13 kg per hp. EQB300 and EQB300 AT carry approximately 9.54 kg per hp. EQB350 carries approximately 7.19 kg per hp, while EQB350 AT has the best figure at approximately 7.16 kg per hp.

Only EQB250 Plus and EQB250 have measured ground clearance, at 205 mm. Ground clearance is not measured for the other versions. Tank capacity is not measured for any version. Exterior dimensions are also not measured, so the data does not support a dimensions-based choice.

Every version uses independent, spring suspension at both ends, ventilated disc front brakes, and disc rear brakes. These components therefore do not distinguish one listed version from another.

Which Mercedes EQB version should you buy?

Choose EQB250 Plus or EQB250 if FWD, 190 hp, 385 Nm, an 8.9-second 0–100 km/h time, and measured 205 mm ground clearance meet your needs. Their supplied specifications are identical, so a decision between them requires price or equipment information that is not measured.

Choose EQB250 AT if you want the same 190 hp, 385 Nm, 8.9-second acceleration, 2,115 kg kerb weight, and FWD layout in the restyled range. Its main measurable addition is access to the listed 235/55 R18 wheel size. Its ground clearance is not measured, so it should not be assumed to match the earlier EQB250.

Choose EQB300 or EQB300 AT when AWD matters more than maximum performance. Both provide 228 hp, 390 Nm, an 8.0-second 0–100 km/h time, and a 2,175 kg kerb weight. EQB300 AT adds the 235/55 R18 wheel option; otherwise, the supplied performance and weight figures match EQB300.

Choose EQB350 for the strongest original specification: 292 hp, 520 Nm, AWD, and 0–100 km/h in 6.2 seconds at a kerb weight of 2,100 kg. Its top speed is not measured.

Choose EQB350 AT for the strongest overall numerical case. It combines 292 hp, 520 Nm, AWD, 6.2-second acceleration, a measured 160 km/h top speed, and the lowest kerb weight in the catalogue at 2,090 kg. It also offers all three listed wheel sizes. Its advantage cannot be weighed against cost, range, or charging performance because those figures are not measured.

For buyers comparing used and restyled examples, the data shows continuity rather than a wholesale mechanical change: corresponding EQB250 and EQB300 specifications remain the same, while EQB350 AT is 10 kg lighter than EQB350 and gains a measured top-speed figure. Reliability, recalls, problems, prices, and cars for sale are not covered by the supplied data, so they cannot be used to recommend one version over another.
