Mercedes Has Just Discontinued Its Entry-Level Electric Vehicle | Carscoops
The EQB will be discontinued for the 2026 model year, but a redesigned GLB with EQ technology is set to take its place.
Mercedes has quietly phased out the EQB EV, which started at a price of $53,050. The new model is anticipated to share many features with the upcoming CLA.
Sales of the Mercedes EQB dropped by 36% last year in the U.S., totaling only 8,885 units, making it less popular than the EQE lineup that achieved 11,660 sales.
Considering this decline and the ongoing development of a redesigned GLB, it’s not surprising that the EQB is being discontinued. A Mercedes representative told InsideEVs, “The EQB has reached the end of its planned lifecycle and will not be available in the U.S. or Canada after the 2025 model year.”
In addition, while the entry-level EV has been retired, the company emphasized its "full commitment to electrification" and noted that a major product offensive is forthcoming. Mercedes-Benz will also introduce two SUVs based on this new platform, as mentioned at the IAA Mobility 2023.
This hints at the next-generation GLA and GLB, which have already been spotted in testing. They are set to take significant design cues from the new CLA, arriving in the United States later this year.
The outgoing EQB 250+ started at $53,050, powered by a front-mounted motor with 188 hp (140 kW / 191 PS) and 284 lb-ft (385 Nm) of torque, paired with a 70.5 kWh battery that provided a range of 250 miles (402 km).
The EQB 300 4MATIC was priced at $57,200, featuring a dual-motor all-wheel drive system producing a total of 225 hp (168 kW / 228 PS) and 288 lb-ft (390 Nm) of torque; however, its range was limited to a disappointing 205 miles (330 km).
Customers also had the option for the EQB 350 4MATIC, which offered a more powerful all-wheel drive system with 288 hp (215 kW / 292 PS) and 383 lb-ft (519 Nm) of torque, providing a slightly better range of 206 miles (332 km) despite its increased power.
