Mercedes-Benz: Model update for EQA and EQB - Towing hitch option

Mercedes-Benz has visually and technically overhauled its electric SUVs EQA and EQB. In addition to the refreshed look at the front, there will be efficiency updates and more equipment available. The updated versions of the EQA and EQB can be ordered from autumn 2023 and will arrive at European dealers at the beginning of 2024.

Much detailed work is intended to increase the range of the EQA to up to 560 kilometers according to WLTP. The measures include aerodynamic optimizations and tires optimized for rolling resistance. Useful for everyday use is the new range maximization function. To favor more range, power consumers such as the display or air conditioning can be turned off or their functionality limited. For the EQB with five seats, a trailer hitch with ESP trailer stabilization is available for the first time as an option. The maximum towing capacity is 1,400 or 1,700 kg (front-wheel drive/4MATIC version) when braked.

Plug & Charge takes hold

With the Mercedes me Charge function Plug & Charge, the EQA and EQB can automatically charge at Plug & Charge-enabled public charging stations by simply plugging in the charging cable, without additional authentication. The vehicle and charging station communicate directly via the charging cable. As part of the slightly changed offering logic, the central display is now standard equipment. Charging features are now displayed more clearly in MBUX. By activating online services in the app, the intelligent voice assistant is promised to be even more dialogue and learning capable, according to the Swabians.
