Discover an approved used EQA through Stratstone
The Mercedes-Benz EQA is the smallest car in the brand’s all-electric EQ line-up. The EQA uses the GLA as its base, making it a compact crossover you can manoeuvre through the city streets in at a great pace, whilst benefiting from the efficient electric powertrain.
The EQA borrows some of its upmarket design identity from the larger Mercedes-Benz EQC, with a similar front end with aerodynamically efficient bumpers and thin LED headlamps.
Reasons to consider a used EQA include:
- Excellent running costs
- Good range
- Upmarket interior design
- Compact design that is great for small families
Engines and Driving Experience
The EQA 250 kicks off the range with a 188bhp motor, which makes this version good for a 0 to 62mph of circa 8.6 seconds.
More potent models are available, called the 300 or 350. The former gets 225bhp whilst the latter delivers 288bhp, and will achieve 0 to 62mph in 7.7 and 6 seconds respectively.
Achievable range stands between 266 and 345 miles, with the larger numbers only possible if you opt for the more powerful versions.
You can achieve 10 to 80 percent charge in around 10 to 12 hours when using a wallbox charger, with this dropping to just 30 minutes if using a rapid public charger.
Practicality and Running Costs
Being a compact SUV, the EQA is well-suited to younger families that seek a raised ground clearance. The boot offers 340 litres of capacity with the rear seats in place, but this can be extended to 1,320 litres if needed.
Despite the premium badge, running costs should be reasonable for the most part. Being an electric vehicle, you do not need to worry about servicing some of the same consumables as a traditional car, such as the engine oil and filters. Any servicing requirements can be completed through your nearest Stratstone Mercedes-Benz retailer.
Depending on the model you go for, the EQA sits in insurance groups between 37 and 45 (the highest being 50), which will likely make it more expensive to insure when compared to a regular GLA. However, this is similar to most EVs at this price point.
Interior, Technology, and Safety
The Mercedes-Benz EQA has a huge infotainment offering with two screens and control navigation, telephony and entertainment functions using the control elements on the steering wheel.
The digital instrument cluster shows useful information specific to your EV, such as remaining range. As well as this, the sat-nav has unique features to the EQA; it factors in for you the car’s range and recommends stopping off points for charging to determine the fastest route, making light work of journey planning.
In true Mercedes-Benz fashion, there are a number of driver assistance systems to make life that much easier and driving safer.
Active Lane Keeping and Active Brake Assist are included as standard, whereas the Driving Assistance Package serves up a range of additional systems to support the driver, such as a warning when pedestrians are approaching a zebra crossing.
Is the Mercedes-Benz EQA right for me?
The Mercedes-Benz EQA makes a compelling choice for anyone searching for a compact SUV that is fully electric. It borrows many of its elements from larger cars in the Mercedes-Benz family, yet remains easy to live with on a daily basis.
The BMW iX1 is worth considering if you fancy something that has sportier credentials, and it is difficult to ignore something like an Audi Q2 if you are in the market for a premium vehicle of this size.
