Design and Exterior

It rides on 19 inch aero wheels that blend style with purpose. The clean lines across the side give it that upright stance Mercedes SUVs are known for. You can feel it was designed for families who want presence but not flash. You park it anywhere and it still looks right. Elegant enough for office. Confident enough for weekend runs.

Engine Power and Performance

The Mercedes EQB 250 doesn’t try to be wild. It’s calm and composed. Underneath sits a single motor sending power to the front wheels. 190 horses and 385 Nm are enough to move it with grace. It doesn’t launch hard but it never feels weak either. Press the pedal and it goes quietly without shaking you up.

The 0 to 100 time sits around nine seconds which sounds slow on paper but in city traffic it’s perfect. Smooth pull no lag. You just flow. The suspension feels soft so bumps are hardly felt. Steering feels light so parking doesn’t scare you. The balance is comfort not sport. The range touches around 400 km in real world which is honest for this size. Regenerative braking helps too you can adjust it as per your mood.
 

Interior and Features

Step inside and it feels familiar yet future ready. The Mercedes EQB 250 borrows the layout from GLB but adds that clean electric soul. The dual screens stretch across the dash looking sharp and rich. The cabin glows at night thanks to ambient lighting. Every button feels solid like old school Mercedes.

The seats hug you soft and supportive. Even long drives don’t make you tired. The third row is small but useful for kids. Fold it and the boot space grows massive. The air feels calm inside especially with that panoramic sunroof open. Music from Burmester speakers feels pure almost cinematic. Wireless charging works fine though you still need a cable for CarPlay and Android Auto. Wish that was wireless.There’s something satisfying about driving in silence with that lighting running across the dash. It doesn’t feel futuristic just right.

Safety and Technology

Mercedes knows safety better than most. The Mercedes EQB 250 gets a strong shell with layers protecting the battery underneath. Seven airbags are standard. You also get ESP traction control ABS and multiple driver assists. The car watches your moves quietly keeping you safe even when you forget.

Adaptive cruise control keeps the distance neat in traffic. Lane keeping nudges you back if you drift. Parking sensors and 360 camera make it easy to slide into tight spots. The pre safe system can tighten belts close windows when it senses trouble. It’s like the car has instincts. You don’t feel the tech working but you know it’s there.

The Mercedes Me Connect app lets you check charging range and even cool the cabin before entering. It’s handy for Indian summers.
 

Price and Launch in India

The Mercedes EQB 250 is expected to reach Indian showrooms early 2026. Price will hover between 75 to 85 lakh depending on options. That puts it in a sweet spot between the smaller EQB 300 and bigger EQE SUV. Mercedes might bring the first few as imports then move to local assembly later. That could help pricing stay friendlier.

At this price it’s clearly for buyers who want luxury EV feel without going crazy expensive. Families who like comfort more than 0 to 100 runs will find it fits perfectly.

Rival Comparison

Competition won’t be easy. The Mercedes EQB 250 will go up against BMW iX1 Volvo XC40 Recharge and maybe even Audi Q4 e tron once it arrives. The BMW feels quicker. The Volvo charges faster. But the EQB wins with space and that seven seat flexibility. It’s the only one in this segment offering real family practicality with luxury polish.

It’s also the calmest among them. Where others feel edgy and techy the EQB feels mature. A car that says take it easy not look at me. That’s rare today.
 

Expert Opinion and Conclusion

After spending time with the Mercedes EQB 250 one thing stands clear. This isn’t made for people chasing numbers. It’s for those who want peace on wheels. The drive is quiet the ride is soft and the interiors are pure Mercedes. It doesn’t shout electric yet reminds you that progress can be subtle too.

In a market where most EVs try too hard to prove a point the EQB 250 does the opposite. It just fits into your life easily. Plug charge drive repeat. If you ever wanted a luxury SUV that doesn’t make the EV shift feel strange this one is it. A simple honest car wearing the three pointed star with pride.
