There aren't very many choices out there if you want to get an electric SUV that also seats 7! We were pleasantly surprised with the new Mercedes EQB, its a great urban SUV that drives like the regular gas powered GLB, but with quicker acceleration and an even quieter ride and cabin. Are you guys a fan of this Rose Gold exterior color?
I own the EQA which is sold in Mexico but not US. I totally love it. Plenty of room (not like the old GLA style…you are dated there), and the interior quality and fit and finish blows Tesla away. The price is great for what you get compared to competitors (BMW, Tesla). When you get the car at night play with the LED ambient lighting it’s pretty cool. You are right they are very quiet, quick enough and good enough range. It’s my first electric and after living with it you just wonder why we put up with noisy, vibrating, smelly and polluting gas engines for so long. No more ICE for me.
5:38 the red rear indicator lights are a fail and there's no reason for them. I just back from Europe where all cars have proper amber rear indicator lights. Mercedes doesn't fit sequential rear indicator lights on its European cars so there's absolutely no reason to downgrade them for North America.
Agreed. I wish the US had the amber turn signal law. You would definitely think if they make it for Europe, they could just keep it like that for everywhere else.
A lot of families need seating for 7, and it's great to see more EV options come to the market that fulfill this need. At this price, I see it doing relatively well.
The EQB takes a simplistic approach to launch with only two trims, the EQB 300 4Matic and the 350 4Matic. The base 300 produces 225 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque.
I saw one of these in South Beach, Miami Beach on Sunday and for the first time ever, I’ve finally seen the car in person before the Redline Review is released.
the tiguan and the outlander are very close to the same size and also come with 3rd rows. the tiguan will be very spartan, but the mitsu can be had loaded up with that 3rd row.
Mercedes-Benz did try the pickup truck market with the X-Class back in 2017 but the truck sales were poor it was around until 2020 after that year Mercedes-Benz dropped the model.
I test drove one and the road noise is noticeable. Same with the Audi Q4 however, the Q4 was a little less loud. I rated the DB’s using my iPhone and my Lexus 450h was lower than both unless I was engaging the engine. While the design does play a factor in the road noise, the EQB suffers from it being as this reviewer stated, the lower end of the totem pole for Mercedes. The interior in many aspects feels cheap. The doors feel super light and I don’t think there is any paneling or extra noise dampening measures for either the EQB or the Q4. Had Mercedes put a better quality interior together, it would provide a much more refined driving experience.
The300 EQB costs more than the GLB35. GLB/EQB platform is a great CUV product offering. Underrated. They all handle much better than people would be. Own a 250-4matic, but I would go with the 35 (wasn't available when I got ours), but drove one in Cali for a week. Ran up and down Mt Baldy in it.
13:06 a concern i have in electric: height of the seat is too low relative to where you place your feet. look how your legs are almost fully extended straight out. they should be closer to right angle.
Its a family mover, a toaster. 250 miles of range is fine, charge it at home. It is plenty fast enough to get groceries, if you want a 4 sec stoplight run get the AMG version.
Frunk doesn’t not exist. Frunk is a popular portmanteau of front and trunk referring to cars that have their storage spaces in the front rather than in the rear, as is more typical. It should be noted that our definition of trunk does not require it be located in the back in the first place.
17:07 there is a crazy amount of cabin noise from what i am hearing, especially for a "luxury" brand. a nissan rogue platinum would be much quieter, and have a better ride.
Would be great on your review if you added your comments/impressions on EQB vs. other similar size EVs including Model Y. That's more relevant than comparing it to GLB.
@@theredline : sorry not meant for your test car which does have power seats, but saw one at my local dealer that has manual seats with $60k+ price tag, which is ridiculous…
🙋🏿♂️So you ride Lincoln for not tucking the wiper blade up under but Mercedes have it in the same exact spot and yet you say nothing help me make it make sense 💁🏾♂️
I think tesla is head and shoulders above everyone but sometimes having something other than a tesla is a good thing even though it might not be in the same league
70 kwh battery? Why are all these companies bringing out such large vehicles with such small packs considering range anxiety is the number 1 reason people avoid buying an EV? 100 kWh should be industry minimum standard for larger passenger vehicles
Luxury oriented model, for 62k, doesn't come with leather lol I thought this was a Mercedes...I forget, these companies are making record profits from cheaping out on their customers.
I hate when you film interiors and the over head glass is open you see the sky and trees, buildings+++ I hate these. Plus did it have a screen for the top glass for shade???
I don't even like EVs but at $55K to start, if the Government is going to give me up to $10K in free money to buy, I'd grab this in a second (for my wife to drive). That makes it cost less than the gas version! They will sell fleets of these (as will Caddy with their Lyriq) once people realize you don't have to put up with horrible quality to have an EV like a Tesla.
I have a 2022 GLB 250 with an average of 35 MPG, meaning over 500 miles per tank. A 243 range and no “frunk” will not convince me to pay over $30K premium, no thanks.
Baby G Wagon is not at all what it looks like. A baby GLS yes. All in all a good looking vehicle, but likely to feel cheap, just like the original GLB.
Easily one of the top 3 most hideous colors I've ever seen on a car...possibly #1. And that's saying a lot considering the neon "Mountain Dew" green on M3 and "toxic orange" on Hellcats. Truly a gross color!
Why do German cars have the most useless cup holders, rhetorical question of course. Just cracks me up how every German car overthinks their cup holders.
Man mercedes is loosing its prestige. I remember when mercedes used Naturally aspirated engines built to last, full leather tan interiors and timeless designs, now they give us this trash.
Hi Redline,i am your regular follower,I watch all your videos repeatedly .But please stop repeatedly commenting about your Tesla,I noticed every Mercedes you show,you keep talking about your Tesla over and over, really it’s too much and boring.

pretty much anything blows tesla away

Looks like it could of been Acura lol
This could be easily rebadged as a mid 2010s Chrysler lol or maybe it is somehow

US light regulations require a certain area of light to illuminate, and Euro amber signals are usually too thin. That's why they go all red instead
@@owenchristofferson Yeah thats not true the tesla model 3 signals are tiny
Is this rose gold copper color the new hot color like nardo grey is right now? Lexus RX 2023 has similar color.
The range is killing me why is it 243 😭
It’s more than enough

Hello 👋
The EQB takes a simplistic approach to launch with only two trims, the EQB 300 4Matic and the 350 4Matic. The base 300 produces 225 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of torque.
There are two vehicles with three trims on each.
Where is the infrastructure for all these automobile companies going only electric? Curious to see how that plays out.
Drink every time Sofyan almost calls it the GLB 😂
Hello 👋
I saw one of these in South Beach, Miami Beach on Sunday and for the first time ever, I’ve finally seen the car in person before the Redline Review is released.
why not just call it the GLB EV instead of making it more confusing with more letters to keep track of?
Lol why is EQ more confusing than EV?
Or how about the Glob Eww V?
Because marketing departments overcomplicate things to seem useful.
@@cop2506 Because GLB is already an established name for the gas model. Easier for me to remember anyways.
the tiguan and the outlander are very close to the same size and also come with 3rd rows. the tiguan will be very spartan, but the mitsu can be had loaded up with that 3rd row.
LED fog lights seem to be disappearing. Even though it goes with the design of many cars.
If the top speed is 99 mph, then imagine how terrible the efficiency must be driving 80mph down the freeway…
It's probably electronically limited
It would not make it in Texas lol. We Drive 80 in the slow lane.
I love the all electric Mercedes EQB! Do you think Mercedes will ever make a all electric pickup truck? That would be awesome
Mercedes-Benz did try the pickup truck market with the X-Class back in 2017 but the truck sales were poor it was around until 2020
after that year Mercedes-Benz dropped the model.

I think this is the best in the eq lineup on the outside
I like the styling.

Yess I’ve always wanted a Mercedes this be perfect for me and my husband . Since he Army we can travel comfortably.
Now this is nice
Price , when is it available?
13:06 a concern i have in electric: height of the seat is too low relative to where you place your feet. look how your legs are almost fully extended straight out. they should be closer to right angle.
at 4:40 seems the left front tire is really tired! Maybe 22 PSI?
When is EQC is going to come?
Bro that is cool car
This thing needs double the range, and a higher top speed.
Give it time. In 2 to 3 yrs probably
You're not allowed to drive faster in the USA anyway. 🤣
What you taking it to the track??
Its a family mover, a toaster. 250 miles of range is fine, charge it at home. It is plenty fast enough to get groceries, if you want a 4 sec stoplight run get the AMG version.
Hello 👋
Love the color!
Can’t wait for the EQG
EQ G wagon?!
Really difficult to keep it EQB huh!!! It happens to me as well, much easier with the EQS lol
Very Nice Bro! Get Good People!

I really love this Mercedes All-electric SUV.
Brilliant job with your videos as always bro.
Love your watch😮
58k with no options? You can get faster evs with better range and faster charging for much less
It’s unbelievably priced for what you get. This thing should be sold for 40-42k starting.
Yes, but those are crappy built Teslas or vinyl filled Kias. Some of us prioritize quality over range.
Would have been one of the perfect EV SUV but not enough space. Frunk is much needed on this one especially if you opt for the 7 seater.
Would be great on your review if you added your comments/impressions on EQB vs. other similar size EVs including Model Y. That's more relevant than comparing it to GLB.
$60k+ price but no power driver seat? $40k+ gas GLB all power seats
The seat was power. The control for it was on the door panel.
@@theredline : sorry not meant for your test car which does have power seats, but saw one at my local dealer that has manual seats with $60k+ price tag, which is ridiculous…
Top speed is 99mph? 😂
It looks way better than a regular Glb
This seems nice but I can’t imagine how much is the upkeep for this car in 7 years
Most people don’t keep a car for 7 years so that won’t impact the majority of first time owners.
🙋🏿♂️So you ride Lincoln for not tucking the wiper blade up under but Mercedes have it in the same exact spot and yet you say nothing help me make it make sense 💁🏾♂️
Soo if something electrical goes wrong that bill will be almost 2 home mortgages price wise 😂😂
Metallic Clearasil. Nice.
I appreciate that it looks like a “normal” MB,
110kW DC fast charge rate is a joke. My 3 year old $40k Model 3 can do 250kW. It makes a huge difference on road trips & quick stops
I think tesla is head and shoulders above everyone but sometimes having something other than a tesla is a good thing even though it might not be in the same league
@@netsai61 there are other non teslas that have better charge rates tho
Ford Mache E. Volvo S90 Plug In. Polestar are all better than Tesla
All EV charge times are dreadful.
anything longer than a 5 minute gas fill up is a joke. yeah, EVs ain't for me
70 kwh battery? Why are all these companies bringing out such large vehicles with such small packs considering range anxiety is the number 1 reason people avoid buying an EV? 100 kWh should be industry minimum standard for larger passenger vehicles
Curb weight of 3700lbs for an electric??
I never really digged the styling myself, it looked a bit awkward imo
We need an all electric X3
It doesn't look like a G wagon at all. Looks like a Subaru Forester
Entry level Mercedes says it all. Slow as a gas car, slow charging, barely 200 miles per charge. REAL Mercedes owners will get the EQS.
Hmmm.. used rav4 primes are going for this price.. 🤨🤨
Crazy right? Too bad this doesn't qualify for the tax credit anymore.
I want the EQS SUV it will sell like hotcakes
It looks more like a baby GLS, not a baby G Wagon.
This looks like an expensive rose gold baby shoe…NEXXTTT
Sooo let me get this right, 240 miles of range, slow af at 99mph, wtf is going on? Are we going backwards?
Hard to accept 60,000 dollars plus state tax as “Affordable” ?
Top speed 99 ?? I’ll pass
Front looks like a Honda
I doubt it has 300 miles range, probably 250 max
The EQB/GLB screams rental car, interior and exterior.
Can they give us a 400mile range electric suv?
mercedes will charge 100k for it
Luxury oriented model, for 62k, doesn't come with leather lol I thought this was a Mercedes...I forget, these companies are making record profits from cheaping out on their customers.
$60,000 for a small crossover, people.
what's wrong? it's just class warfare. the poor will be stuck driving ICE vehicles for ALONG time
I hate when you film interiors and the over head glass is open you see the sky and trees, buildings+++ I hate these. Plus did it have a screen for the top glass for shade???
The tech is looking dated already. No wireless charger, trackpad and 10" middle screen.
Those rims are very Corolla hybrid
Way behind a Tesla model Y. Not even in same league. Even the Bolt EV is better and higher tech. Mercedes has fallen so far behind.
I don't even like EVs but at $55K to start, if the Government is going to give me up to $10K in free money to buy, I'd grab this in a second (for my wife to drive).

No one tgatvis seriously looking at the G is buying a GLB or EQB instead.
I have a 2022 GLB 250 with an average of 35 MPG, meaning over 500 miles per tank. A 243 range and no “frunk” will not convince me to pay over $30K premium, no thanks.

That gives the Forester a bad name
Looks like it's model from 10 years ago that didn't age well. Brown isin't helping either lol.
ah yes another EV where you wait a year to buy it at 10k over msrp after already paying 15 more for it being the EV model .... nice
I don’t see the “baby g-wagon” look. This looks like just like another soccer mom suv….
The color is nice tho…
In reality it looks like a smaller GLE instead. The G Wagon looks very different.
What happened to Mercedes' interiors?! So gaudy! They used to be so stately, subtle, and high end.

These are the lower end front drive models interiors. I don’t like the screens on even the higher end models
