The EQB is an all-new model for the Mercedes-Benz lineup and should be on sale in North America sometime this summer.

Pros
Practical interior,
brisk acceleration with upgraded powertrain,
nicely-trimmed interior.

battery takes up some cargo space,
fussy infotainment system.

In an increasingly crowded field of electric crossovers, the boxy 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB offers something refreshingly against-the-grain.

Pros
Just-right shape bridges boxy and aero
Quiet, comfortable ride
Available third-row seat
Sliding second-row seat
No sci-fi EV gimmickry

Cons
Premium price
Lower range than most rivals
Third row is tiny
Infotainment screens’ learning curve
Top active safety costs extra
