With big ideas in a compact footprint, carbon footprint included, what makes a great all-electric SUV? It starts with being all-Mercedes.
If you're tired of EVs that try too hard to be unique, consider the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB. It looks so similar to the subcompact, gas-powered GLB-class SUV, you might not even realize that it's powered by electrons—at least until you drive it. Save for a slight reduction in cargo space and some minor styling differences, the EQB and GLB are indistinguishable—and we think that's a good thing. Both are entertaining to drive, practical, and stylish. There are three different versions of the EQB, starting with the 188-hp front-wheel drive EQB250+ and stepping up to the 225-hp EQB300 and 288-hp EQB350, both of which offer all-wheel drive standard. Its interior is well-appointed and spacious for a small SUV, with all the prerequisite tech to keep you connected to the digital world. Perhaps the only downside to the EQB is its estimated driving range, which is at most only 251 miles per charge.
