Mercedes-Benz plans to go all-electric in North America by the end of the decade, and we are beginning to see this transition with a few models arriving at Mercedes-Benz of Shrewsbury. With the EQB 300 compact SUV, we are getting a glimpse at what the future of electric driving will look like in Shrewsbury, MA, and it is looking great.
The full name of this luxurious compact SUV is the EQB 300 4MATIC; it is powered by dual electric motors controlled by a smart all-wheel drive system that distributes power to the front and rear axles as needed. The battery provides a range of 232 miles, and you can energize it from 10% to 80% in just 32 minutes when plugged into a DC fast charging station. When parked at home, you can leave the EQB 300 charging overnight to allow the battery to reach 100% in less than eight hours.
Driving the EQB 300 around is a pleasure. The multilink MacPherson struts and tuned suspension system pair nicely with an electromechanical steering system. One-pedal driving and paddle shifting make the driving experience feel seamless, and it helps to conserve energy.
The EQB 300 looks like an urban crossover, but it provides an ample interior that can be configured with three rows of seats for six passengers. This is the only compact SUV on the market that can accommodate a third row.
All the upscale features you can expect from a Mercedes-Benz SUV can be found in the EQB 300. The SmartKey system lets you open, start, defrost, and warm up the EQB 300 before getting behind the wheel. When driving in winter conditions, heated components include the steering wheel, all seats, and even the side mirrors. Ambient lighting and an illuminated entry system are standard, and all the lights that should be dimmed do so automatically.
