EQB facelift: Exterior and interior upgrades
The exterior of the EQB facelift features a new grille panel with Mercedes's signature star pattern, seen on its latest EVs. The SUV also sports slightly revised bumpers and a new horizontal pattern for the full-width LED tail lamps. Inside, the star-patterned design is present on the dashboard and door trim pieces, backlit to align it with the S-Class and EQS. The EV also includes Mercedes's new touch-capacitive three-spoke steering wheel and an option for open-pore wood trim.

The EQB facelift comes equipped with the latest MBUX infotainment interface, a Burmester sound system with Dolby Atmos, dual-zone automatic climate control, a 360-degree camera, ADAS Level 2 functions, 19-inch AMG alloy wheels and seven airbags. The vehicle is now available in both 5-seat and 7-seat configurations. This is unlike the pre-facelift model which was only available in a 7-seat configuration.

Mercedes offers the EQB facelift in two trims: the EQB 250+ with a 70.5kWh battery and a single electric motor producing 190hp and 385Nm torque, and the EQB 350 4Matic featuring a dual-motor setup with all-wheel drive, generating 292hp/520Nm.
