Mercedes-Benz India is on a roll, the company not only launched the M market but also launched the EQB, the electric SUV based on the GLB. Mercedes for the first time launched both the ICE and EV version of their SUV and highlighting the fact that India is indeed a very important market for the brand. The EQB is the third EV on offer from Mercedes-EQ and we experienced the same around the "Princess of Hill Stations" - Kodaikanal. GLB SUV with two different engine options including petrol and diesel powered variants for the Indian The EQB unlike other Mercedes EVS is based on the same MFA2 platform as the GLB and hence a lot like its ICE cousin in terms of components, panels, dimensions, interior room etc. However, Mercedes has two distinct design languages between their ICE and EV range so giving the EQB a different approach when it comes to design was key.
