2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB EV SUV Refreshed

author: FutureCar Staff    

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB is receiving a minor revision for the upcoming model year. It will feature a new grille, front bumper, and updated headlights and taillights. These changes are part of Mercedes-Benz's efforts to refresh its SUV lineup for 2024, which includes the GLA, GLB, GLE, and GLS models.

The exterior updates on the EQB are subtle but significant. The front end has been redesigned to align with the brand's expanding range of electric vehicles. The grille now showcases a star pattern, similar to the EQS and EQE models. A light bar runs along the top, connecting the daytime running lights within the headlight housings. Additionally, the taillight graphic has been revamped with parallel lines replacing the previous rectangular LEDs.

Inside the cabin, the EQB receives a new steering wheel with haptic controls. Mercedes has also introduced "sound experiences" that create artificial noises during acceleration and deceleration. However, this feature is only available if the Burmester surround-sound system is chosen. Additional sound profiles can be purchased online after the vehicle is delivered.

The infotainment system has been updated with the latest software and offers three visual layouts: "Subtle," "Sporty," and "Classic." Mercedes claims that the voice assistant has become smarter, and the Burmester stereo now features Dolby Atmos for improved spatial audio. The EQB is also equipped with a new multipurpose camera and an enhanced backup camera to enhance the driver-assistance systems.

The 2024 Mercedes-Benz EQB is expected to go on sale in the U.S. during the first half of next year. Although pricing has not been announced yet, it is anticipated that there will only be a slight increase compared to the outgoing model year, which starts at mid-$50K to mid-$60K.
