Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB a good car?

Yes — 4.5/5. The expert rating is 5.83/10. The model scores 8/10 across Form and function and Safety.

The EQB’s strengths are practical: it brings a small-crossover footprint, a spacious cabin, standard all-wheel drive, and a comfortable ride, which makes it appealing if you want an electric Mercedes focused on everyday usability. The trade-offs are clear, though: it feels basic for the price, and testing found shortcomings in range, performance, and build quality compared with leading EVs in the segment.

Buy now if: you want a roomy, easy-to-live-with electric crossover and value comfort and standard AWD over flash. The market shows 34.4% of listings as good or great deals, which suggests there are still worthwhile opportunities if you shop carefully.

Is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB reliable?

Owners rate it 4.5/5, a strong signal of long-term satisfaction.

The EQB’s practical layout and standard safety equipment support its case as a daily driver, and its electric powertrain avoids some of the complexity of a traditional gas SUV. Its performance notes also point to a straightforward setup rather than a highly stressed one, with dual electric motors and predictable braking behavior.

If you’re buying used, the main long-term ownership risk is that the EQB’s value proposition depends heavily on condition, equipment, and whether you can live with its modest range and slower charging.

What should I look for when buying a used 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB?

Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.

You should still run a vehicle history report and prioritize a pre-purchase inspection, especially because the EQB’s appeal depends so much on condition and equipment. Focus on whether the car has the features you want, since several convenience and driver-assistance items were optional rather than standard. Pay close attention to interior wear, charging behavior, and whether the car feels as complete as the listing suggests.

Key things to evaluate:

• Trim level: The cabin can feel sparse at the lower end, with thin plastics below the driver’s waistline, flat door panels, and firm seats with limited lateral support. The lowest trim tested added leather seats and an illuminated passenger-side dash pattern, but those upgrades did not fully mask the basic feel.
• Powertrain: The EQB uses dual electric motors, with 225 horsepower and 288 pound-feet of torque in one setup and 288 horsepower and 384 pound-feet of torque in another. Range is listed at 227 miles for one version and 243 miles for another, and charging tops out at 100 kW.
• Safety package: Forward emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, exit assist, and automatic high beams come standard. Adaptive cruise control, lane-keep assist, front cross-traffic braking, automatic lane changing, and other semi-automated features are optional regardless of trim.
• Infotainment: Two 10.25-inch screens come standard, along with ambient lighting and a voice assistant that works well for directions and certain functions. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto require a wired connection, and wireless charging is not standard.
• Fuel efficiency: Consumption estimates in MPGe are currently unavailable.

Which 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB trim should I buy?

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB is offered in 2 trim levels: EQB300 and EQB350.

Here's the short version:

• Base trim: The EQB300 gives you the core package, but you should expect to miss convenience features such as a power steering column, wireless charging, garage door opener, and proximity key sensors on the door handles unless you move up or add equipment.
• Sweet-spot trim: The EQB350 is the stronger pick if you want more power, since it pairs the higher-output dual-motor setup with the same practical body and standard all-wheel drive.
• Premium/top trim: The EQB350 Premium is the most complete version described here, adding heated front seats and the equipment bundle that brings in features like four-zone climate, cooled and massaging front seats, a heated steering wheel, head-up display, 360-degree cameras, a Burmester stereo, and augmented-reality navigation.

The safety package is consistent across trims for the standard equipment, but many advanced driver-assistance features remain optional no matter which version you choose.

Seven air bags come standard, including a driver’s knee airbag, while rear side thorax airbags are optional.

Should I buy a 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB or consider a different year?

If you're weighing the 2022 against nearby model years, here's how to think about it:

Choose the 2022 if:

• 34.4% of listings are priced as good or great deals.
• Accident-free inventory is excellent at 94.5% — clean inventory, standard diligence applies.
• Owners rate it 4.5/5 — a strong satisfaction signal.
• The 2022 EQB was introduced late in the year and brings up to 243 miles of range, 288 horsepower, and a 100-kilowatt fast-charging rate.

The bottom line: If you want the earliest EQB and you find one in strong condition with the equipment you want, the 2022 can make sense as a practical electric Mercedes. If you’re price-sensitive, it’s worth comparing listings closely and considering whether a later model year’s changes better fit your needs, especially if range and equipment matter more than getting into the model sooner.
