REVIEWER CONSENSUS
2 published scores. One common scale.
HEADLINE VERDICT
A refined and approachable urban EV, constrained by an older electric foundation.
The EQA earns praise for its quiet cabin, premium presentation and easygoing road manners. It feels recognisably Mercedes-Benz, but packaging, charging speed and value trail newer purpose-built electric rivals.
