Our quick take

Mercedes EQB - 4.0 / 5

A premium finish

A great place to be

Well-executed tech

A breeze to drive

To recap

You’ll need to pay an additional £3,000 to get the car you see before you, which adds in all the benefits of the AMG Line Premium trim package, including an electrically operated panoramic sunroof, Keyless-Go and Advanced Sound System. It also lifts this SUV up a little, which is needed as the exterior isn’t quite as exciting as it could be. Of course, if you can do without all the trimmings then ditch the frills and choose a model with a more lowly specification - it won’t change the fact that when it comes to carrying lots of people, and comfortably, the EQB 300 is a hard act to follow.
