Mercedes-Benz Korea announced on the 22nd that it will officially launch the pre-facelift electric sport utility vehicles (SUVs) EQA and EQB in the domestic market.


The urban compact electric SUV EQA is a facelift model introduced by Mercedes-Benz Korea after 3 years, and the family electric SUV EQB is a facelift model introduced after 2 years. Both vehicles are popular models that accounted for 41% of Mercedes-Benz Korea's total electric vehicle sales last year.


The facelifted EQA and EQB feature subtle design changes, options that enhance driving convenience, and upgraded digital convenience functions. Despite the improved product competitiveness, prices have been maintained at the same level as before to increase competitiveness.
