Mercedes-Benz refreshed its entry-level electric compact crossover, the EQA, incorporating styling, equipment, and other enhancements similar to those of the larger EQB in early 2023 globally. Particularly, the overall styling elements are more in line with other Mercs as it gets the signature star pattern front grille, a prominent horizontal light bar, aero-optimised bumpers and a 3D light signature at the rear.
These changes bring the EQA closer to the larger Mercedes-Benz EVs within the EQ range. Inside the cabin, it features a new three-spoke steering wheel with capacitive controls, new trim pieces on the dash and doors with illuminated Mercedes logos, and twin 10-inch screens are standard with the latest MBUX operating system.
The screens can be personalized with three styles: Subtle, Sporty, and Classic, and now offer cleaner menus and graphics. Additionally, the voice-recognition system is more responsive to various types of dialogue. The EQA is more efficient than the old global model as well courtesy of improved aero efficiency, rolling-resistance tyres, and a new range-extender mode.
The mode turns off the functions that may not be required including AC and display to increase driving range.
