EQB facelift: Performance and Battery Range
Mercedes has introduced the EQB facelift in two versions: the EQB 250+ comes with a 70.5kWh battery and a single electric motor at the front, giving you 190hp and 385Nm torque. Conversely, the EQB 350 4Matic features a twin-engine setup coupled with all-wheel drive, producing a combined power of 292hp and a torque of 520Nm. This model can go from 0 to 100kph in a quick 6.2 seconds.
The smaller battery pack in the EQB facelift can take you up to 447km on a single charge, while the larger one can stretch that to 535km. If you use a DC fast charger, you can go from 10% to 80% in just 30 to 35 minutes. Charging the 350 4Matic version with an 11kW AC charger takes roughly 6 hours and 45 minutes, while the 250+ trim needs about 7 hours and 15 minutes for a full charge.
