Mercedes introducing EQB compact electric SUV in Shanghai
The new Mercedes-Benz EQB is making its debut at Auto Shanghai 2021 this week. Following the EQA 250 (combined electrical consumption: 15.7 kWh/100 km) it is the second fully electric compact car from Mercedes-EQ. The market launch in China is scheduled for this year. After Europe, the international version of the EQB, produced in Kecskemét, Hungary, will be launched at the end of the year, followed by the US market launch in 2022.
The EQB range will include several models with front-wheel and all-wheel drive, various power ratings—some of which will exceed 200 kW—plus batteries with usable capacities starting from 66.5 kWh. A particularly long-range version is also planned.
