Mercedes-Benz EQB Class EQB250+ RV-SUV Cars
The Mercedes-Benz EQB250+ represents a significant step in luxury electric SUVs, combining the practicality of an SUV with the eco-conscious appeal of an electric powertrain. This all-electric model offers New Zealand drivers a spacious and versatile option, perfectly suited for both urban environments and the varied terrain found across the country—from coastal highways to winding rural roads.
Designed on the compact GLB platform but fully electrified, the EQB250+ features a sleek yet robust exterior that fits well within New Zealand’s diverse landscapes. Its aerodynamic profile not only enhances its modern aesthetic but also improves efficiency, an important factor given New Zealand’s often hilly driving routes. The vehicle delivers smooth acceleration powered by an electric motor producing around 215 horsepower (160 kW), which is adequate for confident highway overtaking and steady performance in city traffic.
One key advantage of the EQB250+ in New Zealand is its range and charging capabilities. Equipped with a battery capacity suitable for typical daily travel needs, it can comfortably handle commutes between major cities like Auckland, Wellington, or Christchurch without frequent recharging stops. Moreover, it supports fast DC charging, allowing drivers to quickly recharge at any of New Zealand's growing network of public fast chargers — including those along popular travel corridors such as State Highway 1.
Inside, the EQB250+ offers seating for up to seven passengers—a rare feature among electric SUVs—making it ideal for families or those needing extra space for weekend adventures or holiday travels to destinations like Rotorua or Queenstown. The interior is appointed with high-quality materials and advanced MBUX infotainment systems that provide seamless smartphone integration and navigation tailored to local road conditions.
With safety technologies such as active brake assist and adaptive cruise control adapted to New Zealand roads, alongside a robust suspension setup tuned for uneven surfaces and occasional gravel roads common outside urban areas, the Mercedes-Benz EQB250+ stands out as a practical yet luxurious EV choice well-suited to meet New Zealand’s unique driving demands.
