Mercedes-Benz EQB Class EQB250+ RV-SUV Electric Cars
The Mercedes-Benz EQB Class EQB250+ RV-SUV represents a compelling blend of luxury, versatility, and electric efficiency tailored to the needs of New Zealand drivers. As an all-electric compact SUV, the EQB250+ delivers a practical range ideal for both urban commuting and weekend escapes across diverse terrains common in New Zealand, from coastal highways to rural backroads.
Powered by a robust electric motor delivering approximately 215 kW (288 hp), the EQB250+ accelerates smoothly with instant torque, making it well-suited for city traffic as well as challenging hilly areas such as those around Wellington and Queenstown. The vehicle's battery pack offers an estimated driving range exceeding 400 km on a single charge under real-world conditions, providing confidence for trips along routes like State Highway 1 without frequent charging stops.
Charging infrastructure compatibility is seamless within New Zealand’s growing network of public fast chargers. The EQB250+ supports DC fast charging up to around 100 kW, enabling an 80% charge in approximately 30 minutes at compatible stations.

Inside, the EQB boasts high-quality materials typical of Mercedes-Benz, with a spacious cabin that comfortably accommodates seven passengers through its optional third row—a practical feature for families and those requiring extra seating flexibility. Advanced driver assistance systems including adaptive cruise control, lane-keeping assist, and intelligent navigation make driving safer and less stressful amid variable road conditions found throughout the country.
Additionally, its all-wheel-drive system enhances stability and traction on wet or slippery surfaces—a significant advantage considering New Zealand's frequently changing weather patterns. Overall, the Mercedes-Benz EQB250+ RV-SUV embodies premium electric mobility crafted to meet the demands of Kiwi lifestyles while supporting greener transport choices.
