Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 4Matic Electric SUV Launched in India at Rs 77.50 Lakh

Mercedes-Benz India has launched the EQB 350 4Matic electric SUV in India at a starting price of Rs. 77,50 lakhs (ex-showroom). In December 2022, the EQB debuted in the Indian market with the 300 4Matic model at a starting price of Rs. 74.50 lakh (ex-showroom). Now, however, it has been replaced with a whole new 350 4Matic model that is far more powerful. The updated EQB 350 is equipped with the same 66.5 kWh battery pack as its predecessor, the EBQ 300. However, the electric SUV now generates 288bhp instead of 225bhp, and its torque output has increased to 520Nm from 390Nm. The updated Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 is almost indistinguishable from the model it replaces in its outward appearance. Then again, there have been a few small changes made.

Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 4Matic: Design

Compared to its predecessor, the Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 has not undergone any major cosmetic changes. Nevertheless, Mercedes-Benz India has introduced a new set of 18-inch light-alloy wheels, which the company claims have been tuned for aerodynamic performance. Therefore, you will continue to get the same fake black panel grille, which is complemented by LED headlights that include adaptive high-beam assist. Other details includes LED tail lights that are accompanied by an LED strip, roof rails and backlit turn indicators.

There are 64 different colours of ambient lighting, powered front seats,  a wireless charger, multi-zone climate, cruise control and more.

Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 4Matic: Powertrain

A pair of electric motors, fed by a 66.5kWh battery pack, drive the electric SUV. Together, they provide 288bhp and 520Nm of peak torque. The 350 4Matic version of the EQB is also capable of reaching a top speed of 160km/h and can reach 100km/h in 6.2 seconds. The battery pack can be charged from 10 percent to 80 percent using a 100kW DC charger in about 32 minutes. However, charging the battery pack with the 11kW wall box charger would take 6.25 hours. Although the EQB's power output has risen, its claimed driving range remains the same at 423km (WLTP).
