EQB 250 range
The base EQB has the longest range of the three versions, at a claimed 251 miles, because it uses one motor and front-wheel drive. The all-wheel-drive EQB 300 and EQB 350 are claimed at about 205 miles. Electrive notes that the EQB’s charging speed, with an initial maximum of 100 kW, was one of its weaker points.
Is Mercedes discontinuing the EQB?
Yes. Electrive reports that Mercedes removed the EQB from its configurator in September 2025, and confirmed in October 2025 that it will not be offered in the US or Canada after the 2025 model year. A Mercedes spokesperson said the EQB had reached the end of its planned life cycle.
Its replacement is the new GLB with EQ Technology. Carscoops reports the GLB 250+ with EQ Technology has 268 hp and a WLTP range of 392 miles in Europe. US pricing had not been announced when we checked.
Is the EQB 250 a good car?
It is a practical, comfortable electric SUV with the rare option of seven seats. Its weaknesses are a modest range for the price and slower charging than newer EVs. With the model now discontinued, the EQB makes most sense as a discounted new or used buy rather than at full price.
Why is the Mercedes EQB so cheap?
New, it is not cheap at $54,200. But with the model ending, dealers are clearing remaining stock, and electric SUVs tend to lose value faster than gas models, so used EQB prices can be well below the original sticker. Get a battery health check before buying used.
EQB vs GLB 250
The EQB is essentially the electric version of the GLB. The gas GLB 250 starts at $45,800 on Cars.com and has a longer driving range on a tank, while the EQB offers silent electric driving and lower running costs if you charge at home. Compare the gas models in our GLB vs GLC guide.
Should you buy an EQB 250?
Buy one if you can get a good discount, mainly drive locally and want a seven-seat electric SUV. If you want the latest tech, longer range and faster charging, wait for the new electric GLB, or look at the electric GLC due in the US in the second half of 2026.
