“It's a fabulous commuter car, but not great for long trips as it averages only about 240 miles per charge.”
2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB: What's New, Specs & Features
Last updated August 4, 2026
The most important change for the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB is the addition of the EQB 250+, a 188-hp front-wheel-drive model with the lineup’s longest original rated range. The EQB 300 4MATIC and EQB 350 4MATIC otherwise carry over without significant changes.
About the 2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB
1st generation (2022-2024 US-market cycle), second model year and final year before the 2024 mid-cycle update
Mercedes positioned the EQB as a compact electric SUV that preserves the upright shape and practical cabin layout of a conventional family SUV. Its core appeal is quiet electric driving, easy-to-use cabin technology, and useful passenger and cargo space without the large exterior footprint of the EQE or EQS SUVs. The range spans efficiency-focused front-wheel drive and stronger dual-motor all-wheel-drive versions while sharing the same comfort-oriented cabin and everyday utility.
The 2023 lineup spans three clear roles: the range-focused EQB 250+, the balanced 225-hp EQB 300 4MATIC, and the quicker 288-hp EQB 350 4MATIC. Every version has an upright five-seat cabin, dual 10.25-inch displays, built-in navigation, smartphone integration, and a power liftgate. The EQB 300 and EQB 350 use dual-motor all-wheel drive, while the EQB 250+ uses a single front motor.

2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB
(320 reviews)
“Overall a fantastic vehicle but one glaring issue to me is the GPS being somewhat delayed in adapting to a new route.”
“Software has glitches…strange error messages that clear when I charge. Also, charger received with the car is faulty. Mercedes does not have range or acceleration, but is a nice car.”
