Did great mate, but could you please make sure you review what the backseat comfort is like in your other EV reviews (since I’ve seen that the backseat can sometimes be uncomfortable in some EVs). I’m a newbie to the EV world so that would’ve been perfect. Love your presenting style though, mate 👍🏻
Just bought one of these and compared with our Tesla S - the Mercedes is AWESOME! The Tesla feels like you're driving a bulldozer through a pile of granite. The Mercedes is fast, fun and the paddles help extend your range and control of the car. I also feel much safer in the Mercedes.
You have not sold me on the Mercedes and I REALLY wanted you to ! You have merely explained why you like it better despite a large number of comparative shortcomings.
I happen to love the back of this car, not so keen on the front, much prefer the the GLB AMG 35's front or even the regular one over this. For everything else, this would be my choice. It's fast enough and silent, giving it a relaxing and calming characteristic. Since the batteries should be in the bottom of the car, lowering the centre of gravity, even though it's heavier, it should also prove sportier and more planted than the regular. Interior is awesome!
I just ordered my EQB last week. So excited to receive it in a couple months! After test driving it the ride was so much smoother compared to Tesla. Also, I’m a mom who just drives around town occasionally so the range isn’t a big deal for me
'Dauto' regen works a charm. Coasts until you come to a junction, speed limit reduction or car in front, in which case it gradually increases regen the closer you get. Very smart.
I have a model Y 7 seat on order following having a model 3 LR for the last year and I’ve been looking forward to get my hands on this Mercedes as a direct comparison since I’ll probably have a couple more “outs” before my Y is delivered. As someone who has owned BMW, Mercedes, Audi and Tesla, I was hoping for more of an unbiased review/comparison based on the title. I found that the video essentially came down to “I’m a Mercedes guy, so I would buy a Mercedes’ despite lack of range, tech, power, etc”. Of all the cars I’ve owned, the build quality between the 4 brands is negligible. Mercedes may have actually been the weakest and BMW the strongest (at least in the $60-100k range). I feel that whenever I buy cars in this range I really don’t know what I’m going to get. My Model 3 has been fine. Comparable to my Audi SQ5, but the speed, power, tech blows it out of the water. I’m really disappointed by the numbers on this Mercedes. 160 km per hour max? Limited range? I’m a Canadian business person and I need the extra range, even in moderate Vancouver. As long as Tesla continues to dominate in range and power, the others are going to feel like a down grade to me.
I agree with most of your comments .. I have a 2023 model Y and it is significantly better than the old models for build quality .. its on board computer is second to non, very responsive, however, customer service sucks !! .. I test drove EQB and I can tell it is a narrow vehicle (width wise) and Tesla Y is much wider inside .. Model Y paint chipping is still an issue that you can not avoid .. but the acceleration can not be matched by a much slower EQB .. last but not least .. EQB is not built on a fully electric platform unlike Tesla Y .. therefore Tesla Y is the way to go ..
that's for you, but most people don't drive as much, don't need that much ranges and power. In every day use, ride quality, build quality, noise r a lot more important.
6:01:The math doesn't work.10-80% of 100 kw in 30 minutes is possible since the battery is around 60 kwh, but the Model Y has a 85kwh battery with 250kw DC charging capacity, and all sources quote about 25 min from 10 to 80. I'm not sure where he got the 36 minutes quote. Just in case I'm asked. The fastest DC charging happens between 10 and 80. But even then, the charging is not going to happen at the top of the rate. However, the size of the battery that is being charged is 70% of the total capacity (between 10 and 80). So the EQB has around 70%*60kwh to charge, which is 42 kwh. Charging 100kw in 30 minutes would techically get 50kwh (half of the hour, right?) but the rate is not sustained and there are losses. SO it's very possible in theory. Tesla charged only 70% of the 85kwh makes the total charging size around 60kwh. The thoretical charging capacity of 250kwh in 30 minutes is 125kwh, which is double of the needed capacity. Again, we are talking about a certain charging curve and some losses, but 36 minutes is way too long, considering the charging capacity. Now, maybe he got the number from a 100kw charger (also known as V2) but then why quote 250kw? It's true, at 100kw charger, the Model Y will take longer to charger than the EQB, simply because the Tesla has a bigger battery.
Good review - have an EQC, the Auto Regen I find a bit scary, but not as scary as the Auto Park which seems to believe the best approach is ‘ramming speed’ and then slam on the anchors at the last moment - spare underpants required without a doubt 🤔
I drive a BMW i3 with a range extender which has 60 miles of all electric range. I charge it every night, so I never even think about range around town. This car sound perfect. I'm hoping to test drive one in a few weeks when it arrives at the local dealership.
I like the light feel with the sunroof and good sized rear windows and the all round visibility seems good. Not sure I want to be forced to have 7 seats in the UK though.
I watched some other videos, not sure if this reviewer was ignorant or made a mistake but the additional 2 seats were in the car, they were just folded down. Unless I'm the ignorant one?
The third row folds down in an instant and you don't have to remove the head rests for them to lay flat like some other vehicles. So even if you don't use them, you aren't really loosing anything by having the third row. I'm sure just a little bit height wise, but not much.
I really don’t get the whole range anxiety thing. 200 miles is basically over 3 hours of driving. Who’s driving 3 hours and not stopping for a bit? Unless you’re a travelling salesman 200 miles of range is going to be more than enough; if you need to stop for 20 mins to charge; stretch your legs; grab a coffee then that’s fine. I wanted a Tesla 3 but with a 3rd child on the way I am looking at 7 seats as you can’t fit 3 car seats in the back of most cars, plus company director means only really looking at electric. With those 2 requirements there’s not too much choice outside of the EQB
Is true but de depends what are you looking for. Tesla is pretty boring inside. Guess where all that weight of 200 kg go ? In quality and confort. I own this car and I'm happy.
Love this man as a presenter, but for me the fetish with materials and design feel somewhat old fashioned, when the comparison between charging (speeds) is flawed and the range issue is just brushed away. Electroheads - to me - means to pivot towards the ⚡ capabilities and thoroughly educate soon-to-be electric car buyers what to prioritize. Range (efficiency), charging speed, safety, software (ota), self driving tech, above leather, metal, familiarity and the looks of the thing. Can't help but feel that you're 'sold' on Mercedes brand much more than (anyone really) cares to admit. To sum it up: Electroheads versus 'Cardesignfeels'.
Apart from the Tesla being more efficient, having an amazing charging network, real Over the air updates for everything which include improvements over time.
The charging network argument is a bit outdated since they’re about to open it. Also I’m not exactly sure but I think this car also has over the air updates.
@@uwucaffeineaddiction4023 When they allow access it will be at a premium per KW/H over Tesla. And no one has over the air updates as frequently or effectively providing improvements. These make the car better over time. No one else can do that.
I'd rather have a car that works just fine from the start. Screen and user interface aren't exactly Tesla strong points. Lots of ways to control things on the Merc including real buttons.
One thing you did not notice, when you sit in the back seats you knees are up in the air and no support under them, the reason the floor is a lot higher because of the battery's underneath. I always drive a Merc but no way Electric only Diesel that car is over priced by 20 grand you would get a really nice S Class for that.......
And here is why I selected Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD: Lighter than EQB 350 4Matic, More powerful than EQB, Faster than EQB in 0-100kmh, higher top speed (217kmh), larger trunk and a frunk which EQB does not have, an uninterrupted bigger moonroof, higher DC charging speed, cheaper than EQB (acc. to the prices in my country). What EQB has is the Mercedes logo in front of it, which people usually value more than the car itself. Enjoy your ride.
"Edition" means "Edition 1". With the appearance of the EQB on the car market, this car is available with special equipment for a limited time. For example: Seats in white leatherette, rims in rose gold, special ambient light...
The best thing about it - the towing capacity = 0!?! Thats a serious deal-breaker. Went for a test drive and really like the practicality of the car. But when I heard you can't equip it with a towbar, it went from top of the list, to bottom. Also the hood was "flopping"/"waving" in the wind at 110 km/h. Just outside the windscreen to the left ??? Never seen that on a car before.
@@dingdong2103 Nice - I can imagine it's very luxurious, but haven't been in one. We have only had our Volvo for a month now, but we are very satisfied so far. Still waiting for the tow bar though 😕
I have a 2020 Mercedes AMG and what I hate is the fact that they try to charge you for basics each month such as adaptive cruise control. Also the app is rubbish, doesn’t control anything. My next car will be Model Y for sure, although I really wanted the EQB but Tesla beats it in so many ways…..
Can’t wait to get my new EQB 300. Ordered last week and delivery date in late December 2022. Did test drive model Y but this one beats Tesla in quality and ride confort so much. Tesla is probably better EV but this is better car overall. Thanks for great review!
Hi interesting video, personally I am interested in the adaptive cruise, I wouldn't buy a car without it, its a pity you didn't cover that. How well does it work, especially the lane keep assist? I know the Hyundai Ionic 5 has level 2 and wanted to compare this.
Don't be fooled by those lvl2 lvl3 things.. the best drive assists are acually (I don't include tesla outside of u.s) : Mercedes, BMW, VAG, then Korean cars than any Japanese and french/italian/chinese brands. Actually the Fiat 500E and the E Megane are at kia/hyundai level.
All this fuss about range. I now drive a petrol car with 450 km of range. It has a small tank and a small engine that’s very thirsty when driving in any other way than Granny would. I get petrol once or in exceptional cases twice a week. Waiting for my EQB 250+ facelift, which has similar range in the real world, difference is I can choose to get a wall box so I can charge at home, try that with a petrol car.
Overall good video, few things you missed...no frunk in the Mercedes, extra space is good for families, travel, and take out food, charging infrastructure locations wasn't mentioned, Tesla clear winner there, over the air software updates Tesla gets don't know about Mercedes, the self driving features were not brought up.....sooooo....Tesla longer range, better charging, self driving features, more space, Mercedes better drive comfort wise on bumps, name recognition....people don't use sunroofs much anyway....that is why Tesla doesn't have them...
Nice but it’s just the range that’s killing me. I only have one car so if this is my only car and daily driver And I’m going on road trips or having to drive to another state to relocate because I’m military ima have to stop to charge pretty often. And the system does not tell you a route plan to charge like Tesla. The good thing about Tesla is they route plan and tell you how long you will stop at each charging station.
Will this car do 170 miles on the motorway from full charge in the winter ? I have a regular work trip to Liverpool and if it can’t get me there I’m in trouble ( ordered one ! ) !
Just drove it for 120 miles and still shows 60 miles left (May get 40 out of that). So you may get away with 170 miles but not a lot more .. I would say 150 is a safe limit to adhere to for a single non stop journey.
not sure how much smaller the boot would be with the 6th and 7th seats folded down. is there much space under the boot floor for that, with batteries and all?
You basically lose the bit of underfloor space where the extra seats are. So you only have a narrow strip of underfloor storage instead of a relatively large area in the 5-seater where you can lift the entire large trunk floor. All in all, it's only a 30 litres difference, because the underfloor area is quite shallow.
That felt like you were paid by mercedes to "prefer" their car over the tesla. Not once did you mention how completely crap mercedes servicing is. This car also has a known coolent issue which mercedes still have not fixed. It requires constant top ups. The range is bad and the boot space is a third of the tesla. The model y also has a top speed of 150 and way faster to 60mph.
I can envisage a lot of cars where the third row of seats are never raised, but wouldn't you feel just a little bit cheated out of that 30 litres of boot capacity? A DECENT video!
Lol that's a first, a guy that has confidence in dealers... btw are you sure you were making a pro Mercedes or an anti-Tesla review ?? Just saying... you look a bit biased.
I would have more faith in dealers aswell. My colleagues tesla broke down while on Holiday (like 100 km across the border) and didnt have the car for like 7 months and Tesla hardly gave any information/status about the issue.
"huge boot". It is half the carrying capacity of the model Y. You kind omitted that. Also, you say Mercedes does 10-80% charging in 30' while charging at 100kW, and the model Y does 36' while charging at 250kW. WTF? Are you a paid shill or something?
Now that electric cars are changing the game, it's a good time to completely convert to metric. No longer will we need a mash-up system of measurement where we fill up with litres and drive for miles. In-car navigation systems can be set to either metric or imperial, why wait for your government to make the decision. How does it make sense to quote a cars power in horse-power and then juice up with kW instead? miles/kWh is just ludicrous. Just use km/kWh. Nobody is familiar with either yet so it won't create any confusion at all. ADAS allows automatic cruise control to keep you legal and avoid speed fines. Just do it.
I like the little EQB. But you gotta be outside of your mind to think that it’s better than a Model Y lol. Better looking? Maybe, thought those black on black and white on black Model Y’s are very attractive in their own right. Apart from the Mercedes Benz badge, there’s not much else here. The build quality’s not even all that great. No “premium” car should be showing exterior colors on the doors.
I've got a EQB and love it. I don't like the look of the MY interior or exterior. Maybe I'd have bought a Y if the 7 seater were available for slightly better range and performance. But the Merc is fine in both departments, its not really an issue.
@@MyMednas My wife has a Model Y LR. And we did order ours with a 3rd row. Aesthetically, it is far from my favorite car. But functionally, there are very little downsides. It is not my cup of tea, but I do understand why they’re so popular. I do like the EQB, however, and I do think it looks better.
@@Soh90 in the UK you can't get 7 seater Y yet. If you could I probably would have got one for performance. I've got the 350 EQB, it's not slow, but the Tesla is way, way quicker. What I really want is a proper family size 7 seater, but the X (when on sale again) is too expensive for me 😪
I love the car and was about to buy but you are not allowed to fit a tow bar, NOT EVEN an 80kg back rack bar. Big fail for an SUV like this. I was about to buy, so glad I did my research. For me, to be Tesla, only because of this 😒
Had a lot of fun filming this. Be kind to me in the comments please people 🤪
👍👍👍
For that comment alone, sending kindness
Did great mate, but could you please make sure you review what the backseat comfort is like in your other EV reviews (since I’ve seen that the backseat can sometimes be uncomfortable in some EVs). I’m a newbie to the EV world so that would’ve been perfect. Love your presenting style though, mate 👍🏻

Naw
With 150-160kmph you call it fast! well i have petrol version glb and it does well over 200-230. So, EQB for now is a deal breaker for me.
You have not sold me on the Mercedes and I REALLY wanted you to ! You have merely explained why you like it better despite a large number of comparative shortcomings.
Great analysis with loads of important information, hope you enjoyed making it and make a few more.
I happen to love the back of this car, not so keen on the front, much prefer the the GLB AMG 35's front or even the regular one over this. For everything else, this would be my choice. It's fast enough and silent, giving it a relaxing and calming characteristic. Since the batteries should be in the bottom of the car, lowering the centre of gravity, even though it's heavier, it should also prove sportier and more planted than the regular. Interior is awesome!
I prefer the back as well... The front design is not quite there for me.
Loved the review. Well detailed without missing the fun side. Good job TGE
Really enjoyed the review, great presentation TGE with the combination of the edit!
I absolutely love the EQB350
I trust the worst Benz engineer, more than I trust the best Tesla engineer.
This TGE fellow did very well. Quite enjoyed this review. Have him back again.
Thank you 🥸
I just ordered my EQB last week. So excited to receive it in a couple months! After test driving it the ride was so much smoother compared to Tesla. Also, I’m a mom who just drives around town occasionally so the range isn’t a big deal for me
I have the EQA 250, I get around 285 per charge on average, so even using the heating, I still get 250 miles.... Which i think is really good.
'Dauto' regen works a charm. Coasts until you come to a junction, speed limit reduction or car in front, in which case it gradually increases regen the closer you get. Very smart.

Exactly.. I stopped listening when he said I’m a petrol car collector getting into the ev space…

Great presentation mate.
And here is why I selected Tesla Model Y Long Range AWD: Lighter than EQB 350 4Matic, More powerful than EQB, Faster than EQB in 0-100kmh, higher top speed (217kmh), larger trunk and a frunk which EQB does not have, an uninterrupted bigger moonroof, higher DC charging speed, cheaper than EQB (acc. to the prices in my country). What EQB has is the Mercedes logo in front of it, which people usually value more than the car itself. Enjoy your ride.

Waiting for my EQB 250+ facelift, which has similar range in the real world, difference is I can choose to get a wall box so I can charge at home, try that with a petrol car.
Overall good video, few things you missed...no frunk in the Mercedes, extra space is good for families, travel, and take out food, charging infrastructure locations wasn't mentioned, Tesla clear winner there, over the air software updates Tesla gets don't know about Mercedes, the self driving features were not brought up.....sooooo....Tesla longer range, better charging, self driving features, more space, Mercedes better drive comfort wise on bumps, name recognition....people don't use sunroofs much anyway....that is why Tesla doesn't have them...
Love your wrist watch, which one is it?
Nice video! But mate, it looks like your cars on the blink. 😜
Very good well done, it sounds great so have to have a look.
Great review.
Nice but it’s just the range that’s killing me. I only have one car so if this is my only car and daily driver And I’m going on road trips or having to drive to another state to relocate because I’m military ima have to stop to charge pretty often. And the system does not tell you a route plan to charge like Tesla. The good thing about Tesla is they route plan and tell you how long you will stop at each charging station.
Will this car do 170 miles on the motorway from full charge in the winter ? I have a regular work trip to Liverpool and if it can’t get me there I’m in trouble ( ordered one ! )
!
Just drove it for 120 miles and still shows 60 miles left (May get 40 out of that). So you may get away with 170 miles but not a lot more .. I would say 150 is a safe limit to adhere to for a single non stop journey.
not sure how much smaller the boot would be with the 6th and 7th seats folded down. is there much space under the boot floor for that, with batteries and all?
You basically lose the bit of underfloor space where the extra seats are. So you only have a narrow strip of underfloor storage instead of a relatively large area in the 5-seater where you can lift the entire large trunk floor. All in all, it's only a 30 litres difference, because the underfloor area is quite shallow.
Hmm, had my Model 3 P for coming up to 3 years now, not a single rattle, creak, or squeak yet (and I don't baby it!)
That felt like you were paid by mercedes to "prefer" their car over the tesla. Not once did you mention how completely crap mercedes servicing is. This car also has a known coolent issue which mercedes still have not fixed. It requires constant top ups. The range is bad and the boot space is a third of the tesla. The model y also has a top speed of 150 and way faster to 60mph.
i just bought the 250 EQB..lets see!! being delivert end juli begin august
I can envisage a lot of cars where the third row of seats are never raised, but wouldn't you feel just a little bit cheated out of that 30 litres of boot capacity? A DECENT video!
Who edited this?
Are you complaining about all the cutaways? I didn't enjoy them either...
Let me see, if I buy EQB I get less range, no supercharger network, way less performance and I have to pay way more money ... lol 🙄😄
Please fix the audio levels 😑
i bet you them black bits on the side will be cameras in the next edition
For over $60000, but "NO" power seats 😂😂😂 & "ONLY" 220 of Range😂😂😂😂 We can do better
Can I get this without the roof rails?...cant rival the Y---range too low and charging too slow
Love it, but in Australia, it is just too expensive for what you get.
EQB 250+ in ECO mode summer time will range 280miles
Lol that's a first, a guy that has confidence in dealers... btw are you sure you were making a pro Mercedes or an anti-Tesla review ?? Just saying... you look a bit biased.
I would have more faith in dealers aswell. My colleagues tesla broke down while on Holiday (like 100 km across the border) and didnt have the car for like 7 months and Tesla hardly gave any information/status about the issue.
Well, after all is a Mercedes Benz, not a software vehicle.
Coool, i’m on the verge of buyung the merc or the model y, and i have some doubts, that you help me.
Amazing video
I just got one ☝🏽 and it’s cool I’m getting to know the can
Good ev content
Best Cockpit and back end. The side profile looks like a van. The back seat is too small with zero thigh support almost like a 2 wheeler.
Tesla fanboyz going off on one in the comments is a vibe I'm loving 😂
Decent , very excited for 50k
Great funny review of a nice EQB
music is too loud. just sayin
Tesla will improve over time, software updates whilst the Merc will not Im afraid
Tesla needs to improve. Merc doesn’t.
Decent mercedes and Decent Tesla
"huge boot". It is half the carrying capacity of the model Y. You kind omitted that.
Also, you say Mercedes does 10-80% charging in 30' while charging at 100kW, and the model Y does 36' while charging at 250kW. WTF? Are you a paid shill or something?
Me too
Launch Edition. Which includes:
360 camera
Memory seats
Heads Up Display
Only handful of these will be made, even further downfall of Merc...
Now that electric cars are changing the game, it's a good time to completely convert to metric. No longer will we need a mash-up system of measurement where we fill up with litres and drive for miles. In-car navigation systems can be set to either metric or imperial, why wait for your government to make the decision. How does it make sense to quote a cars power in horse-power and then juice up with kW instead? miles/kWh is just ludicrous. Just use km/kWh. Nobody is familiar with either yet so it won't create any confusion at all. ADAS allows automatic cruise control to keep you legal and avoid speed fines. Just do it.
Looks like youd be taking the Tesla EQB over the Tesla model Y.
I’m feeling decent today please could I get the electrical scooter you don’t know how much it will help me in my day to day life
Little bit upset with charging speed. It's should be at least 150kw
Charging curve is very flat, it actually beats many cars with 150kW or more peak rate. E.g. still pulling 32kW at 98%.
DECENT✌🏾
I like the little EQB. But you gotta be outside of your mind to think that it’s better than a Model Y lol. Better looking? Maybe, thought those black on black and white on black Model Y’s are very attractive in their own right. Apart from the Mercedes Benz badge, there’s not much else here. The build quality’s not even all that great. No “premium” car should be showing exterior colors on the doors.
I've got a EQB and love it. I don't like the look of the MY interior or exterior. Maybe I'd have bought a Y if the 7 seater were available for slightly better range and performance. But the Merc is fine in both departments, its not really an issue.
@@MyMednas My wife has a Model Y LR. And we did order ours with a 3rd row. Aesthetically, it is far from my favorite car. But functionally, there are very little downsides. It is not my cup of tea, but I do understand why they’re so popular. I do like the EQB, however, and I do think it looks better.
@@Soh90 in the UK you can't get 7 seater Y yet. If you could I probably would have got one for performance. I've got the 350 EQB, it's not slow, but the Tesla is way, way quicker. What I really want is a proper family size 7 seater, but the X (when on sale again) is too expensive for me 😪
I love the car and was about to buy but you are not allowed to fit a tow bar, NOT EVEN an 80kg back rack bar. Big fail for an SUV like this. I was about to buy, so glad I did my research. For me, to be Tesla, only because of this 😒
Decent
DECENT
I’m feeling decent today please could I get the electrical scooter you don’t know how much it will help me in my day to day life 😌
7 seats ESUV… go ahead n get a EQB cos it’s your only choice 😅
Dude, this is 2021. Don't say "variant"!
