Mercedes-Benz has been on a roll and is taking the lead in the luxury electric vehicle sector. For the first time, the three-pointed star will be launching an SUV that will be offered in three different powertrains — petrol, diesel and electric. The internal combustion vehicle, the GLB, and the all-electric EQB 300 4Matic will make their India debut on December 2nd. This will be the German brand’s third EV gracing our shores in six months after AMG EQS 53 4Matic+, EQS. Both the EQB and GLB are aimed to offer the best quality and features that money can buy along with space and practicality. After the GLS, these two new SUVs will be only the second Mercedes-Benz vehicle in India that will be offered as a seven-seater.
Even with the EV sector taking significant strides in the field of technology, it’s still somewhat unthinkable to plan a trip to the hills with an electric vehicle. Being an SUV, the road conditions were hardly a challenge for the EQB thanks to its 155mm ground clearance and all-wheel-drive system.
Linear doesn’t mean it’s boring rather it responds according to your requirement. To ensure you understand what the EQB is capable of, let’s first get the specifications out of the way. The EQB is powered by a 66.5 kWh battery which has a total output of 225bhp and 390Nm of torque. According to Mercedes-Benz, it does 0-100 kmph in 8 seconds and has a top speed of 160kmph. Offering a range of 388-425 km based on WLTP, the SUV can be juiced up from 10% to 80% in 32 minutes with the use of 100kW DC fast charger and with a regular 11kW AC charger, it takes just below 6 and a half hours for cent percent charge.
