‘Please do not forget to honk’.

These were the instructions given to us as we drove down the Mercedes EQB from Kodaikanal to Madurai. This travel advisory was not meant for hapless pedestrians or incoming traffic but for the scores of monkeys, so that they were alerted to the approach of the eerily quiet electric SUV approaching them. Just as silent, the 7-seater EQB is equally stunning and is the latest and the most affordable offering by the German car maker for the Indian market.
