With Earth Day just around the corner, it’s an electric week at Auto123 as we turn the lights towards noteworthy developments in the EV segment.
The 2024 EQB lineup is about to grow, with the debut of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB 300 4MATIC confirmed for this summer in Canada.
All-wheel drive (via the use of two electric motors as opposed to one) is the big selling point for this variant of the model, but it’s not the only one. The electric SUV can be had with an optional third row expanding seating capacity to seven, and the 300 4MATIC model adds more power and torque compared to the 250+ variant – 225 hp and 288 lb-ft of torque as opposed to 188 hp and 284 lb-ft of torque).
