- shares 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB has been revealed, ahead of an Australian launch sometime in 2022. Hot on the heels of the debut of the flagship EQS limo, the new EQB will launch as Mercedes-Benz's second electric SUV based on a combustion-powered vehicle underpinned by its compact MFA2 platform – namely the GLB seven-seat SUV – following the GLA-based EQA's unveiling in January. European buyers will be presented an array of front- and all-wheel drive powertrain options, headlined by a flagship EQB 350 4Matic variant (pictured) developing over 200kW and featuring all-wheel drive. It's likely the 140kW/375Nm front-mounted electric motor offered at launch in the EQA will eventually make its way to its larger sibling, badged as the EQB 250.
