The Mercedes-Benz EQB<\/a>, the electric version of the GLB-Class compact crossover<\/a>, is about to come in for an update, as evidenced by the recent sighting of a camouflaged prototype vehicle.<\/p>\n

Mercedes is in the process of updating its entire compact range. The A-Class and B-Class<\/a> were updated last year, though neither model is offered in the U.S. The A-Class was dropped here after 2022.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The updated GLB-Class<\/a> should arrive in the second half of 2023, likely as a 2024 model. We should see this updated EQB arrive about the same time.<\/p>\n

We’ve also spotted prototypes for the updated GLB-Class, as well as the updated version of the sporty GLB 35 from AMG<\/a>. An updated version of the EQA electric compact crossover<\/a> sold overseas is also out testing.<\/p>\n

The EQB prototype is only lightly camouflaged, which makes sense for an update. There appears to be a revised grille and fascia up front, plus a new design for the internals of the taillights.<\/p>\n

According to our photographer, the dash was also concealed. We’ll likely see a new steering wheel design, plus a revised center console with the current model’s track pad replaced by simpler controls.<\/p>\n

It isn’t clear what Mercedes has planned for the powertrains. The EQB is currently offered in the U.S. in EQB 300 and EQB 350 grades. In both cases there’s a 66.5-kilowatt-hour battery and dual-motor all-wheel drive.<\/p>\n

The EQB 300 delivers 225 hp and an EPA-rated range estimate of 243 miles. The same figures for the EQB 350 are 288 hp and 227 miles of range. It’s possible a new battery could see the range figures increased with this update. Stay tuned.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
