2026 Mercedes-Benz EQB Model Review

The 2026 EQB lineup features various powertrains to suit different driving needs in Wisconsin. The foundational EQB 250+ SUV utilizes a front-mounted electric motor producing 188 horsepower, offering a smooth and efficient experience for city commutes. For those requiring enhanced traction for local weather conditions, the EQB 300 4MATIC® SUV provides 225 horsepower and dual-motor all-wheel drive. The top-tier EQB 350 4MATIC® SUV delivers a robust 288 horsepower, enabling a swift 0 to 60 mph acceleration in approximately 5.8 to 6.0 seconds.

Every 2026 model is equipped with a 70.5 kWh battery pack. The EQB 250+ SUV offers the highest efficiency with an EPA-estimated range of up to 250 miles. The EQB 300 and EQB 350 4MATIC® variants provide ranges of approximately 205 to 206 miles respectively, ensuring sufficient power for regional trips across the state.

Charging the EQB is designed to be seamless for Milwaukee residents. When using a Level 2 AC home charger (9.6 kW), the battery can charge from 10 to 100 percent in about 8.25 hours. For faster replenishment on the road, DC fast charging (100 kW) can charge the battery from 10 to 80 percent in approximately 32 minutes. A significant update for the 2026 model year is the inclusion of a NACS adapter, providing access to more than 20,000 Tesla Supercharger® stations across North America.

The 2026 EQB is engineered to maintain a confident feel on wet or snowy Milwaukee pavement. The 4MATIC® all-wheel-drive system on the EQB 300 and EQB 350 models can adapt torque distribution in fractions of a second to optimize grip and handling. While the EQB is focused on urban and suburban versatility rather than heavy towing, its 4-wheel independent suspension provides a balance of sporty response and refined comfort that smooths out rough highway stretches.

The cabin of the 2026 EQB reflects the intelligent design and high-quality materials expected of the brand. Standard seating accommodates five passengers, while an optional third-row seat package increases capacity to seven. The interior dimensions are impressive for a compact SUV, featuring 40.7 inches of front headroom and 41.1 inches of front legroom. The versatile rear cabin includes a 40/20/40-split second row that can recline and slide fore-aft to prioritize passenger comfort or cargo volume.

The exterior of the 2026 EQB shares a similar footprint with the GLB, utilizing an upright shape that supports excellent visibility. LED lighting and refreshed cosmetic options, including new wheel designs, further enhance its modern aesthetic. Cargo capacity is highly flexible; the 5-passenger models offer 25.9 cubic feet of space behind the second row, which expands to a maximum of 61.8 cubic feet when all rear seats are folded flat.

The 2026 EQB features the latest generation of the Mercedes-Benz User Experience (MBUX®) infotainment system. This system is housed within twin 10.25-inch displays that provide intuitive touch and voice control. Standard technology includes smartphone integration, MB Navigation with electric intelligence, and customizable "Sound Experiences" that allow drivers to tailor the acoustic ambiance of the cabin.

Safety remains a central pillar of the EQB design. Standard driver-assistance systems include Active Brake Assist®, Blind Spot Assist®, and ATTENTION ASSIST®, which monitors for signs of driver fatigue. For parking convenience, the standard Surround View System provides a 360-degree camera view on the central display.

The 2025-2026 EQB continues to offer high-strength protection for Milwaukee families. Owners can find more detailed crash-test evaluations and ratings on the official NHTSA and IIHS websites.

The EQB 250+ SUV is the efficient entry point, featuring a smooth single-motor front-wheel-drive layout.

Standard luxuries include power front seats with memory, dual-zone climate control, and the MBUX® digital cockpit. This trim is an ideal choice for urban explorers prioritizing maximum electric range.

The EQB 300 4MATIC® SUV adds the confidence of fully variable all-wheel drive, utilizing dual motors to produce a combined 225 horsepower. It includes all standard luxury features and provides an estimated range of up to 205 miles. This model is the premier choice for local drivers seeking balanced traction for winter months.

The EQB 350 4MATIC® SUV offers the strongest performance in the lineup with dual motors producing a combined 288 horsepower.
