Mercedes-Benz EQB
The Mercedes-Benz EQB is a premium electric SUV for buyers who want Mercedes badge value plus genuine three-row flexibility, priced from Rs 72,20,000 ex-showroom with an ARAI-claimed range of up to 535 km on the entry EQB 250+. It comes in just two variants built on the familiar GLB platform: the efficient single-motor 250+ and the quicker all-wheel-drive dual-motor 350 4MATIC, both wrapped in a cabin with twin 10.25-inch screens and Burmester audio that will feel instantly familiar to anyone who has sat in a Mercedes before.
Is the Mercedes-Benz EQB right for you?
Best for
- Buyers who specifically need a 7-seat layout in a premium EV, since the EQB is the only Mercedes EV at this price offered with a genuine third row
- Families who will use the third row occasionally for children rather than as a full-time adult seat
- Buyers deciding between efficiency and traction: the EQB 250+ for its larger 70.5 kWh battery and longer 535 km ARAI range, or the EQB 350 4MATIC for its 215 kW dual-motor AWD punch
- Owners who can charge overnight on an 11kW AC wallbox at home or work rather than depending on public DC fast charging
Think twice if
- Buyers chasing the fastest charging tech in the segment; the EQB's ~100kW DC peak (about 32 minutes for a 10-80% top-up) is modest next to newer 800V rivals
- Anyone who needs the third row for adults on a regular basis, since Mercedes itself positions it as child-only space
- Buyers who want their EV to look distinct from its combustion sibling; the EQB's styling and cabin are closely shared with the petrol/diesel GLB

Charging and living with it
Charging: ~10-80% in ~32 min on up to 100kW DC; AC up to 11kW wallbox (~0-100% in ~9.5h). Most owners charge overnight at home; plan public or workplace charging for longer trips. The EQB is best suited to owners who can charge overnight on an 11kW AC wallbox (about 9.5 hours for a full charge); its roughly 100kW DC peak means public fast-charging top-ups take about 32 minutes for 10-80%, slower than newer 800V-based EVs.
5-year cost of ownership
Based on 40 km/day, the Mercedes-Benz EQB EQB 250+ costs about ₹1,600/month to run versus ₹8,400/month for a comparable petrol car, a saving of ₹82,733/year at July 2026 prices.

FAQ
What is the real-world range of the Mercedes-Benz EQB?
It hasn't been independently tested yet, so treat the figures as ARAI-claimed only: up to 535 km on the EQB 250+ (70.5 kWh battery) and 447 km on the EQB 350 4MATIC (66.5 kWh battery). Expect a real-world number noticeably below these lab figures, especially with AC on and the AWD variant's extra power draw.
How long does the EQB take to charge?
On a DC fast charger rated up to 100kW, a 10-80% top-up takes about 32 minutes on both variants. At home or work on an 11kW AC wallbox, a full 0-100% charge takes around 9.5 hours on the EQB 250+.
Should I buy the EQB 250+ or the EQB 350 4MATIC?
The EQB 250+ (Rs 72,20,000) has the bigger 70.5 kWh battery, a single 140 kW motor, and the longer 535 km ARAI range, making it the better pick for efficiency and value. The EQB 350 4MATIC (Rs 78,90,000) trades battery size and range for a 215 kW dual-motor AWD setup, so choose it for traction and quicker acceleration, not for range.
Is the EQB actually a 7-seater?
Yes, it is currently the only Mercedes EV at this price point offered with a genuine 7-seat configuration. The third row is best suited to children, not full-size adults, so plan seating accordingly on longer trips.
Is the EQB worth the price compared to other luxury EVs?
You're paying for familiar Mercedes build quality: a GLB-based cabin with twin 10.25-inch screens and Burmester audio, plus a rare 7-seat option. In return you accept a design that closely mirrors the combustion GLB and DC charging speeds that trail newer 800V-based rivals, so weigh badge and cabin feel against outright charging convenience.
