No doubt, EVs are the future, and many automakers are already embracing them, never wanting to be left behind. Although it’s been a while now since we got an all-new electric Mercedes Benz, still the idea of getting a new Mercedes Benz EV SUV is so much thrill for many auto enthusiasts.
Mercedes is already expanding its EV range, which comes as the EQ sub-brand. The EQA, a small EV SUV, will be the easiest way for any shopper to dive his toes into the hot-selling Mercedes EV lineup. Most Mercedes competitors, including the Audi and BMW, are already fully into the EV game. Even though Mercedes has already put out cars like EQC and EQS, Mercedes may seem a little late in this burgeoning market segment compared to its rivals.
The all-new GLA, which borrows so much from the regular GLA, besides offering the most affordable way for any shopper to lease a new Mercedes EV SUV, is a more refined and efficient version of the regular GLA. And despite having a better driving range than most cars in the class, it still comes with a price that undercuts most of its competitors.
If you’re hoping to lease a new EV SUV that offers a strong value, leasing the Mercedes Benz EQA is your best bet.
While we are not fully sure if Mercedes will be making this exceptional small family fully electric SUV available in America yet, here is all you should know about this small luxury EV.
Engine & Performance
Powering the all-new EQA is a single electric motor that generates 188 horsepower and 277lb-ft of torque. This engine sends power only to the front wheels of the EQA.
Mercedes also promises to offer a sportier version of the EQA with up to 270hp and a standard all-wheel-drive system. Instead of one electric motor, this EQA will come with a dual electric motor, one under the bonnet for the front axle and another under the boot floor to drive the rear.
While you may find its body control disappointing, the EQA delivers a well-refined ride. Like every other Mercedes car, the EQA is a comfortable machine, rewarding riders with a cosseting ride and composed handling. However, this Mercedes does need an adaptive suspension.
Range & Charging
The new Mercedes EQA delivers between 200- and 250-miles after a full charge. It will use a 66.5-kWh battery pack which will take 6 hours to charge from 10% to 100% using an 11kW wall box. A 100kW public fast charger will take the battery from 10% to 80% in half an hour.
Interior, Cargo
It is hard to differentiate the all-new Mercedes-Benz EQA from the regular GLA inside. This all-new fully electric crossover SUV affords the same passenger and cargo area hold as the regular GLA. Its cabin elements are nearly the same as the GLA, except for some electric-orientated dials.
Although the new Mercedes EQA may not be the most elegant or sporty luxury fully electric SUV in the expanding Mercedes EQ lineup, it is a delightful lease option for value-minded shoppers.
