The Mercedes EQA’s biggest strength is undoubtedly its long range, but overall a firm ride and lofty pricing let it down. Newer rivals, including the Genesis GV60, Kia EV6 and Smart #1, are much better all-rounders. To make the most of the EQA’s range, we recommend going for the front-wheel-drive 250+ version.
The 250+ model gets a 70.5kWh battery and a 188bhp electric motor. 0-62mph takes 8.6sec, so there are plenty of quicker electric cars, but the official WLTP range of 345 miles officially (depending on the trim level) is very impressive. This is the most recommendable version.
At What Car?, we believe that no one should overpay for their new car, which is why we partnered with Autotrader to bring the biggest selection of discounted new cars available in the UK
