Mercedes-Benz has been making subtle changes to its SUV lineup this year, and the EQB is the latest to receive a facelift.
The updates include a revised front grille with the brand’s signature star pattern, redesigned rear LED lights, an upgraded infotainment system, and improved driving assistance features. While the visual changes are not drastic, they align the EQB with Mercedes’ growing range of electric vehicles.
The front bumper has been reshaped, and the taillights now have parallel lines instead of rectangular LEDs. Additionally, there are new wheel options, including an 18-inch design, two 19-inch designs, and a 20-inch wheel.
Stepping inside, the EQB boasts a new steering wheel with haptic controls. Mercedes has also introduced two “sound experiences” that mimic engine noise during acceleration and deceleration, but this feature is only available with the Burmester surround-sound system. The infotainment system has been updated with the latest software, offering three visual layouts: “Subtle,” “Sporty,” and “Classic.” The voice assistant has also been improved and the Burmester system now features Dolby Atmos for enhanced spatial audio. The EQB also features new cameras that enhance its driver-assistance systems.

The EQB 250+ comes with a 70,5 kWh battery, while the EQB 300 and EQB 350 have a 66,4 kWh battery. These batteries provide a range of up to 448 km with the smaller one and up to 536 km (WLTP) with the larger battery.
The Mercedes EQB also receives additional enhancements, such as a trailer hitch with ESP trailer stabilisation, enabling the electric SUV to tow up to 1 700 kg.
