Mercedes-Benz EQB350: In pictures

Mercedes-Benz unveiled the fully-electric EQB SUV last year in April in two variants - the EQB 300 4Matic and EQB 350 4Matic. Malaysia got its hand on the EV recently and was first showcased in July as part of the brand’s EQ range of fully electric models lineup for the local market (also the launch of EQS450+ AMG Line). However, unlike in Europe, we only benefit from a single EQB 350 4Matic variant.

It was only last week that Mercedes-Benz Malaysia announced the pricing of the all-new EQB350 and it falls close to the estimated RM 330k figure, RM 328,888 to be precise. The price mentioned is on-the-road without insurance.
