2023 Mercedes-Benz EQB Priced, Starts at $55,550

• Mercedes' smallest EQ model, the EQB, has a starting price.
• The EQB will be sold in three trims: base, Exclusive and top-spec Pinnacle.
• The base model starts at more than $55,000.

The EQB will be sold in three trims: base, Exclusive and Pinnacle. The base EQB 300 model carries that $55,550 price tag (including destination charges). If you go for the more powerful EQB 350 model, the starting price goes up to $56,800. Exclusive trims add features like keyless start and a wireless charging mat and start at $56,800 for the 300. The more powerful 350 models go for $60,350. Pinnacle models get some extra equipment in the form of a Burmester surround-sound system, a panoramic glass roof and a surround-view camera. Top-spec Pinnacle trims start at $59,350 for the 300 and $61,400 for the 350.

Buyers of the EQB will also get two years of unlimited 30-minute charging sessions at any Electrify America station in the country. As for range, the EPA hasn't rated the EQB just yet, but Mercedes says that, fully charged, the EQB should be good for 260 miles of electric driving range. But that number is based on the European WLTP test cycle, and the EPA's testing typically nets less range. Expect that figure to fall to somewhere around 240 miles once the EPA gets its testing equipment strapped to one.

Edmunds says

What do you think? Has Mercedes done enough with the EQB to satisfy your EV crossover needs, or would you rather go for something from Tesla, Volvo or Audi?
