Pricing will be announced closer to the EQB's commercial launch, but it's safe to say that it's best to budget around $50,000 for the base version, before options and before any EV incentives.The Mercedes-Benz EQC 400 4MATIC, the German automaker’s first all-electric vehicle under its new EQ brand, will start at $67,900 when it arrives in the U.S. Production of the electric SUV will start this month in Turkey, with the first examples due stateside in the first quarter of 2022.
It's safe to say that Europe is in the midst of an EV boom at the moment whether this EV boom will extend to the US anytime soon is still up in the air, as a wave of EVs in multiple segments appears on the horizon. The boxy electric SUV will also try to make electric Mercedes SUVs more commonplace, after the automaker canceled the launch of the EQC stateside three years prior, citing a greater demand for the model in Europe. And, as members of the successful Mercedes-Benz compact car family, the EQA and EQB also share many strengths, such as the advanced driving assistance systems and the intuitively operated MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system." In terms of the efficient electric drive, it is of course closely related to the EQA, and it also has characteristic Mercedes-EQ design features such as the black panel front. "It is edgier, more angular and at the same time offers more utility and functionality.
"The EQB is clearly more 'grown-up' and has a distinct character of its own," said Product Manager Marius Philipp. The EQB will be closely based on the GLB-Class, so don’t expect any major changes on the inside. This is why the EQB and its new electric siblings are staying so close to the formulas of their internal combustion twins-to allow buyers to cross-shop the two different drivetrains more easily, now that pricing is becoming vaguely comparable. With the EQB Mercedes will also experiment with a more important concept of getting its buyers into electric models to begin with. It certainly helps that the EQB will not go the already tiresome fastback route, instead offering a genuinely useful cargo compartment that will be enough to fit two 5'4" humans in the optional third row. Its promised 260 miles in the WLTP cycle won't set any range records for its class, at least not until a longer-range variant arrives, while the interior accommodations will land it in among a thick crowd of other hopefuls, some of which will certainly be lower priced. It remains to be seen whether this electric model's EPA range will land in a certain sweet spot that will make the EQB attractive among a growing list of stateside competitors, some of which serve up quite a bit more range at the moment.

With an all-wheel-drive model to debut ahead of a front-wheel-drive version as well as a longer-range variant, the EQB is set to follow the EQC and EQA electric SUVs that are either already on sale or are on their way into production, with Mercedes expected to quickly surpass Tesla's lineup in variety. First shown earlier this year in Shanghai, the EQB will offer room for as many as seven passengers when it goes on sale, while also serving up a range of 260 miles in the WLTP cycle. Mercedes brought the EQB electric sport utility to the Munich IAA this week for its European debut, showcasing the brand's rapidly growing electric SUV lineup.
