2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA Electric SUV Finally Unveiled

The all-new 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA has been finally unveiled to the public. This compact-crossover EV is a stablemate to its entry-level model, the GLA-class. However, Mercedes has made plenty of changes to make sure you can apart them. Stylistically, it’s attractive, featuring a swiping front horizontal and light bar that is mirrored on its tail.

In Europe, this crossover is offered with a front-mounted asynchronous motor capable of producing 187 horsepower and 277 pound-feet of torque. Compared with the popular GLA250 model that delivers 258 pound-feet and 221 horsepower, the EQA is a winner in this category. However, the EQA might also be offered in the U.S., but with a more powerful motor that generates 280 horsepower.

Futuristic Interior

Inside, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA looks closely to its sibling GLA. Generally, that’s a good thing, since GLA comes with one of the most advanced cabins on the market. Also, EQA comes in the form as a two-seater SUV, offering plenty of room for all occupants. Thankfully, unlike the GLA model, the new EQA comes with pair of larger 10-inch displays that look much nicer.

On top of that, the improved voice control system is present as the best personal assistant. Mercedes-Benz has tweaked colors inside, and the most favorite is optional rose gold applications and blue fabrics.

According to the information that we got, this model will come standard with all-wheel drive, and it should produce at least 280 horsepower. Honda claims that with 66.5-kWh battery, EQA will cover a range of more than 300 miles. However, we believe that a range of 200 to 250 miles is more realistic.
