MERCEDES-BENZ EQB
The German carmaker, a market leader in the luxury segment in India, released its highly impressive seven-seater, all-electric SUV, EQB at the end of 2022. Fashioned loosely on its iconic ultra-luxe SUV-the GLS-this EV is informally referred to as the 'Baby GLS'.
Interiors
The interiors are plush. The car describes itself as a seven-seater, we’d say that the third row is only big enough for kids or pets.
Exteriors
The exteriors are sporty, refined yet muscular, and robust.
Range
The EQB comes fitted with a 66.5 kWH lithium-ion battery and promises a range of 423 km on a single charge. We test drove the car recently and loved the overall immersive drive experience. This EV does pack in a lot of punch and indicates a 0-100 kmph sprint of eight seconds. The EQB has two motors that result in a very powerful, torque-fuelled drive.
Why we love it
We tested the Torque Shift feature, which results in increased traction, ideal for both off-road and city conditions. The manufacturer has already installed 30 ultra-fast chargers across the country, and a complimentary AC wall charger for every customer.
Price
At a price of ₹74.5 lakh, we predict that the EQB should be able to carve a niche segment.
VOLVO XC40 RECHARGE
The Swedish manufacturer’s first locally assembled luxury vehicle in India is the chic XC40 Recharge. This particular car is sold exclusively by Volvo India’s online platform.
