The EQA 250 can be likened to an electric athlete in a compact body.
With its powerful electric motor and high-voltage lithium-ion battery, this Mercedes-Benz offers an impressive 140kW of power and 375Nm of torque.
Excellent suspension coupled with light steering, the EQA is an effortless, quiet and responsive car to drive.
The ambient lighting and electric purple accent trimming throughout make you feel as though you’re behind the wheel of innovative technology, while also providing a groovy and relaxed, atmospheric experience.
On the MBUX multimedia system you can see the energy flow meter, a cool feature which displays the usage of power, including recouped lost energy and battery use to drive the motor.
For a heavy car, you don’t feel it, as the experience of accelerating in the EQA is similar to a smooth lift-off, as it surges silently forward with power and grace.
The regenerate effect is excellent. This high-tech feature enables you to drive the car forward using the accelerator without having to touch the brake.
Even with the battery located under the vehicle’s floor and its compact design, the EQA has great storage and a roomy back seat with lots of knee space.
To ease any range anxieties, the EQA boasts roughly 486 km between charges.
Mercedes-Benz always offer an array of exciting features and the EQA is no exception!
The new system, Navigation with Electric Intelligence is next-level and combines traditional map data with topographical information, weather forecasts, charging times and the location of charging stations to accurately calculate the fastest route and arrival time.
To reduce the draw on battery power that comes with a conventional heating system, the heat pump utilises the heat created by the electric powertrain to warm the passenger compartment.
Sharing similar dimensions to the GLA, the all-electric EQA 250 makes for an intelligent, graceful and efficient driving experience.
