Mercedes-Benz EQA Class Crossover Cars
Mercedes-Benz is expanding its EQ range of electric cars with the addition of the EQA crossover SUV. The EQA boasts an all-electric powertrain and 4MATIC all-wheel drive, making it ideal for navigating New Zealand's diverse terrain and challenging weather conditions.
Under the hood, the EQA is powered by an electric motor that delivers a peak output of 140 kW and can accelerate from zero to 100 km/h in just 8.9 seconds. It has a range of up to 486 kilometres on a single charge, which should be more than enough for most New Zealand drivers. The battery can be charged from 10% to 80% in just 30 minutes using a DC fast charger.
The exterior design of the EQA is typical Mercedes-Benz: elegant and sophisticated, with a strong presence on the road. The front grille features a unique black panel design with LED lights, while the rear sports full-width LED tail lights that wrap around the sides of the car.
Inside, the cabin is spacious and modern, with plenty of premium materials used throughout. There are two digital displays on offer – one for infotainment and one for the instrument cluster – both measuring in at over 10 inches in size. Apple CarPlay and Android Auto are both included as standard.
In terms of safety features, the EQA comes with adaptive cruise control, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and blind-spot monitoring as standard across all trims.
Overall, the Mercedes-Benz EQA is an exciting addition to New Zealand's EV market thanks to its advanced technology and impressive performance figures. Its all-wheel-drive system will certainly come in handy for drivers tackling challenging terrain or adverse weather conditions across Aotearoa. With strong looks inside out plus notable technological innovations packed into this stunningly stylish model we have little doubt it will meet both consumer expectation as well as that signature quality offered by one of Europe’s foremost automakers - Mercedes-Benz.
