With a rapid charging time of just 30 minutes and an estimated range of 486 km, the EQA250 is set to rival the likes of BMW i3 and Volkswagen ID 3. The all-electric cousin to the ever-popular GLA, the EQA delivers all the same thrilling characteristics, which should come as no surprise, since it shares the same base, steel body shell and bumpers. But with an efficient electric powertrain and unique blanked-off grille—a signature planned for all Mercedes EQ models—this electric Benz is in a class all its own.

Progressive design, intuitive operation

The EQA’s dynamic design mirrors its driving performance and hints at the electro-aesthetics that mark it out from its conventionally powered sibling. On the front, a black panel radiator grille with the Mercedez central star sits between the two LED high-performance headlamps. Electric blue and rose gold highlights embellish the interior design, where you can ride in luxury on faux-leather-upholstered, electrically-adjustable seats as you intuitively operate the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX) infotainment system. There is also a standard 'navigation with electric intelligence' function that makes it even easier to roll through the city on its standard 18-inch alloy wheels.

Exceptional, intelligent power and safety

A single powertrain and battery combo provide 188 bhp and 375Nm of torque to propel this powerful electric compact SUV from 0-100 km/h in 8.9 secs. The EQA250 can reach a top speed of 160 km/h and covers a 426 km range. A true Mercedes-Benz when it comes to passive safety, the EQA uses radar and cameras to detect every day driving hazards, such as pedestrians, cyclists and other vehicles for lane-keeping assistance and automatic emergency braking. Speed-keeping assistance is also an available option.
