mercedes-benz eqa 250 review

The Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 is the entry-level electric Merc SUV, essentially a GLA that went to TAFE and learned volts. It’s a single-motor, front-drive setup that favours hush and comfort over fireworks, with tidy steering and an easygoing ride. Real-world range hovers around the mid-300s of kilometres if you drive like a grown-up, and DC fast charging is decent rather than brag-worthy.

Inside, it’s plush and quiet, the screens are pure showroom bait, and the safety tech pile is generously tall; just don’t expect a cavernous boot or limo-like rear space. Around town it cruises serenely, though big wheels can add a thud on dodgy tarmac—welcome to Australia. If you want maximum efficiency or space-per-dollar, rivals like the Model Y and Niro EV make a strong case; if you want badge polish and calm, the EQA 250 does exactly what it says on the tin.
