Mercedes EQA 2021 review - see what I really think about it!

.............................................................

This is the new Mercedes EQA!

You can probably already tell it’s based on the Mercedes GLA, but of course, there’s one key difference - the EQA is all-electric! The question is, should you really consider paying several thousand pounds more to go electric?

Well, the EQA has a 66.5kWh battery pack which powers a single front motor. This can produce 190hp and 375Nm of torque. Four-wheel-drive variants are due to in the future, but for now, you’ll have to settle with front-wheel-drive only.

When it comes to powering up your EQA, it has the ability to charge up to 100kWh, which will help boost your battery from 10% to 80% full in just 30 minutes, which isn’t too bad!

As for interior space & practicality, well, it’s all pretty similar to the GLA, although you may have to compromise a little on space to accommodate the battery pack!

So what do you think - could the EQA change the game for small all-electric SUVs? You’ll have to stick with Mat to find out!

Because of u every time i set in a car i start looking for the soft touch material and testing the leg space

[matthi]

Me: "hm i'm interested in an electric car maybe...."
basically every carbrand: "So you have chosen BLUE ACCENTS!"

[sebyfloristean]

Nobady no one:
Mercedes and bmw making electric/hybrid cars:
"Just add a lot of Blue "

[autonewstv]

I feel like Mercedes could have done a better job on front design.. but still a really cool car

[g_]

Car wow should create an electric car review playlist, to make it easier to find all the different ones you’ve reviewed & therefore make it easier to find comparison reviews

[ideatorx]

I actually really like the front bumper. It’s no fuss, I feel like most brands feel like it needs so much styling, minimalism is always better

Merc EQC = who you?
Merc EQA = I'm you but smol

[alejandrolee]

I'm getting ready for school. It's always nice to see a car review before going to school.

[hey]

I wasn’t expecting anything new and impressive and that’s what I got.

[XTrainHeartnetX]

Not really a fan of Mercedes' electric car designs. They should have a look at Audi. They've really been nailing their electric car designs so far!

[ubermensch]

Idk man, Those alloys looks like cheap wheel covers to me.

[murraysampson]

Nope. That back seat is ridiculous. This vehicle is too compromised over the ICE version.

[kyeijoel]

Mercedes EQC: Who are u?
Mercedes EQA: Your younger brother

Historians will say that Matt dissing German music is what caused WW3 to spark.

[Bobg]

Mate had one on free test a few weeks ago, gave it back after 1 day.100% charge to not enough after 110 miles to get to N london., a normal 9 hr day of Notts to milton keynes-london north-milton back to Notts took 16hrs. The planning was done right with plenty of allowance, charging places found and so on it just ran out of charge at milton, so a delay in finding a charger and charging, then London and broken charger delay finding another, meetings all cocked up.

4:45 that joke couldn't be more on point... I thought the same 😂 (and the seats look very nice, you wouldn't want to get them dirty...)

[Captain_Coleslaw]

It honestly seems like the rear seats are the only drawbacks to the EQA, its honestly a solid choice if you normally drive alone :)

[VickGeek]

That rear 'tail light' when lit has a 'No Fear' symbol 😈

[taz]

Got this for £460 a month £5 down on PCP and it’s so worth it. Was looking at Q4 but they couldn’t get anywhere close to this.

2:47 it kinda looks like its wearing a covid mask
