Mercedes-Benz EQB
Car and Driver says the EQB is a near-direct port of the gas-powered GLB-Class SUV with an electric powertrain swapped in, taking everything it likes about the GLB's space-efficient design and attractive cabin finishes while removing tailpipe emissions, and offering a choice of three powertrains from a frugal front-drive model to the 288-hp, all-wheel-drive EQB350, with EPA-estimated range between 205 and 251 miles, though it does lose some cargo room compared to the GLB because of how its 66.5-kWh battery is packaged. SlashGear says the EQB 350 4MATIC's 288 horsepower and 384 lb-ft of torque make the compact electric SUV feel much faster than its 6.0-second 0-60-mph time suggests, giving it the feel of an extra-potent golf cart, though the steering is over-assisted and feels oddly light and remote from the road, and the SUV offers a spacious cabin with a rare three-row option, even though the third-row seats are small.

Quicker than its numbers suggest

A rare three-row option, with small third-row seats
