Mercedes-Benz updated its EQA lineup with two new models—EQA 300 4MATIC and EQA 350 4MATIC—because where’s the fun without AWD?
Positioned above the 250 in the hierarchy, both the EQA 300 and 350 come with a dual-motor all-wheel-drive configuration. The EQA 300 4MATIC will produce 225 hp and a maximum torque of 288 lb-ft. As a result, it can reach 62 mph in 7.7 seconds and up to electronically-limited 99 mph.
Meanwhile, the EQA 350 4MATIC has a more powerful drivetrain, producing 288 hp and 384 lb-ft of torque. The most powerful model in the lineup goes from 0-62 mph in 6 seconds flat, but the top speed remains the same as the 300 4MATIC—99 mph.
As both the cars are fully electrified, they pack a lithium-ion battery pack with a capacity of 66.5 kWh, providing a range of 306 miles in a single charge.
Furthermore, using the Mercedes me Charge system, customers get access to the world’s current largest charging network. There are more than 450,000 AC and DC charging points providing top-class convenience, spread across 31 countries. Interestingly, when using Mercedes’ charging network, the vehicle automatically connects and syncs with the charging point without any hassle and supports a fully automatic and integrated payment system. The customer needs to choose a payment method only once, and the amount is automatically debited after every charge.
Besides, the integrated payment system even works outside one’s country where Mercedes me Charge points are installed.
Keeping in mind the luxury status of the Mercedes EQA 4MATIC, both crossovers are equipped with features such as elegantly designed LED headlights, a powered tailgate, and beautiful 18-inch alloy wheels. Meanwhile, the elegant cabin has 64-color ambient lighting, ultra-luxury seats with 4-way power adjustments and lumbar support, and a leather-wrapped sports steering wheel.
The price range for the EQA 4MATIC starts below €65,000 in Germany, meaning the EV is eligible for Germany’s environmental bonus of €5,000 and a possible bonus from Mercedes-Benz of €2,500.
Later this year, Mercedes-Benz will release a long-range version of the EQA, packing a larger battery. Stay tuned for more information.
