The 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB electric SUV carries over mostly unchanged, retaining its status as the entry-level EV in Mercedes’s U.S. lineup and the only one sharing a platform with an internal-combustion vehicle.

The EQB is a fully electric derivative of the boxy Mercedes-Benz GLB-Class, with smoother styling details that soothe the GLB’s coefficient of drag to 0.28 but sport essentially the same packaging. For 2025 it adds a better-equipped Exclusive grade, including a surround-view camera system, Burmester surround sound with Dolby Atmos, and heated front seats.

Also new is a Design Package with different exterior and interior styling cues, and Manufaktur Mountain Grey Magno paint. Customers also have new 18- and 20-inch wheel options.

Powertrain options include a single motor sending 188 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque to the front wheels in the EQB 250+ and dual-motor all-wheel drive in the EQB 300 4Matic and EQB 350 4Matic. The AWD models have permanent-magnet motors in front, induction in the back. While the EQB 350 4Matic is software-enabled for 288 hp and 384 lb-ft, the EQB 300 4Matic is limited to 225 hp and 288 lb-ft.

All versions have a 70.5-kwh battery pack, which provides 251 miles of EPA range in the EQB 250+. That drops to 205 miles for the EQB 300 4Matic, but rebounds slightly to 207 miles with the EQB 350 4Matic.

Introduced for the 2022 model year, the EQB received a refresh for 2024 that included Plug & Charge compatibility, allowing owners to simply plug in and be automatically billed later.

Even with a peak 100-kw DC fast-charge rate, the battery allows a 10-80% charge in 31 minutes. The 9.6-kw onboard charger in U.S. models makes a full overnight charge well within reach for the most common Level 2 setup, that being a 50-amp circuit and 40-amp charging.

Pricing remains unchanged, meaning the base 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB 250+ still starts at $54,200 including the $1,150 destination. The EQB 300 4Matic and EQB 350 4Matic cost $58,150 and $61,800, respectively.

The EQB is likely to be replaced soon with a new model based on the Mercedes Modular Architecture (MMA) first arriving in the 2026 CLA. Like the CLA, the same model could be offered with both all-electric and mild-hybrid powertrains as Mercedes moves away from dedicated electric models.
