Thanks Bjorn for doing this video, I’m in Australia and want to buy the eqa350 soon, and I’ve searched all over the internet for a review of the car, and your video is first I’ve found in English.. so it was great to watch it …awesome !!!

Thanks! Great job! I have a Fisker Ocean reserved. It will be fun to see you test one once out.

[@xmtxx]

Thanks for the video as always! 14:45 About the flir cam, I'm a little bit OCD. You can set the camera connector, so that the cam is flush to your phone. The connection will be way more sturdier, lateral forces will be less heavy on the connector.

Blue sky video was very beautiful. Not tropical but still very nice with lots of soft colours.

[@ArthurDeKeersmaeker]

For a project I had to do for school. I had tested the influence of the temperature of the battery to the voltage of the battery. When a lithium battery get hot the voltage get's higher and when de battery was colder the battery voltage dropt. I tested between -20 an 50 °C. I think the diffrence between the 2 was about 0.15V. So. a car that got 100 of cells in series, that would mean a 15V drop in the voltage

Hi Bjorn. Nice video as usual. Just saw an another KZbin video of EQS AWD consuming 24kwh/100km average at 5 degrees with 21 inch winter tyres with all the heating activated covering Munich to Frankfurt stretch(roughly about 420kms)driven at 140kmh(average 114kmh). It would be great to see you testing EQS RWD during the summer at least without the fat tyres probably.

[@GaryJohnWalker1]

This looks like a very good EV - big enough and well equipped. Though having checked the price enthusiasm has cooled. And ... ask your sponsor Stormberg to make online UK orders nice and easy! I'm sure there'd be plenty of UK business for their cool Scandi stuff. We now have a UK-Norway trade agreement (probably one of the biggest since you know what).

Tail wiggle is not only because of torque distribution, it is also affected a lot by wheel alignment and general suspension setup.

[@StevenYoungcaptual]

[@hestkjaer]

My EQA250 just hit 50.000km a week ago(on 7 month). My experience is when you set the navigation in the car to go to a charger you get 113kw but if not I get about 104kw. I use ABRP instead of the built in, since the built in is to locked regarding stalls.. I want to choose my providers and not let mb lock it!! That is why I use ABRP.. Too many times have I arrived at bad stalls that either couldn’t charge or was broken..

[@Nie362]

A tip would bee to put some black electrical tape over the reflective surfaces when you measure with the Flir as @22.20. You will get more real value from your mesurements.

[@FloM03]

The button for the heated steering wheel is on the left side of the steering wheel column (underneath the blinker stock). Of course only if this car is equipped with it (which I would guess by the rest of the available features)

[@NicoSchurr]

I don't think it is because when you equip the heated steering wheel, you get the steering wheel with the black control panels automatically. Seeing as this one has the silver ones...

[@FloM03]

@@NicoSchurr Yes, probably... I thought they changed it and you could also get the heating with the "AMGish" steering wheel, but that probably was in a different line (maybe C or E class)

[@felixsanhueza]

Can you tell me what heat camera you are using? Is it the FLIR One Pro?

I hope Audi updates the Q4 with preheating the batteries. When charging in the cold i never get more than 25-40 kw even though it should get 125

[@oceanfroggie]

Excellent video, and entertaining as ever. EQA 350 4matic ticks a lot of boxes, comfy, efficient enough, and from a dashboard ergonomics point of view seems truly excellent with really intuitive controls and knobs that can be operated eyes off using tactile feel. Love the distronics ACC and the smart AWD modes. Every control at your finger tips exactly where you expect them to be instead of the new fettish for giant iPads off the drivers eye line. The regan paddles for the regen braking are also really user friendly. Mute button on the steering wheel - yea!!! Considered Model Y but could not stomach the lack of physical controls, nor the styling, so ID4 GTX was high on our list, but delays and those daft haptic controls. Audi limited to soviet black interiors dull as ditch water and not great efficiency. Ioniq5 was high on our list but could not get light colour with light grey interior. IQ5 has great driver aids, But with EQA we can order the colour we prefer with the upholstery colour we prefer. Like for smaller wheels for better ride comfort. EQA reeks of superior cabin ergonomics and better driver aids, all intuitively controllable with out touch screen or haptic nonsense.

[@beyondenergy5903]

whats the song that starts at 2:04?

[@fladric]

Love the video! I own a 2021 Tesla M3LR and I must say that some of the latest OTA made the car much better in winter driving. When looking at Scan my Tesla the front motor is always active during slippy conditions! Would be interesting if you tried a M3LR and feel the same! Feels like you say, automated "snow mode". I have sooo much more confidence in the car now compared to before!

[@mryenarog5116]

is it this car like ff fossil car?

[@salemyr]

I think the reason the car won't get tail happy is because the rear motor is so low powered (which I think you said in a previous video) and the front motor is programmed to kick in before the rear motor is at full power. May very well be different on wet ice. Probably same with regen. Also, the Germans know you should have front bias under braking

[@planlosaberglucklich3289]

If do like the EQA ,still can't afford one 😭 do like the fact it calculates the range using Trip navigation data. Strange no heated steering wheel bet it's an option., Not a fan of the chrome vents in the cabin.

[@audunskilbrei8279]

It's a German car. You're lucky you get seats as standard. On q4 you have to pay extra for keyless entry and standard cruise control. Who would buy a car without those things? And yes, heated steering wheel is also extra.

[@NO3V]

The EQA 350, a car with A-class quality, with 19 inch wheels and Advanced-Plus-Paket (would have analog dials, no phone charger, no backup camera, no keyless go, etc. without) costs the same as a Model Y, a much larger car, in Germany. For that price you are still missing: - front seat heaters: 345€ - seat ventilation: 1060€ - leather 1535€ (includes front heaters) - heated steering wheel 190€ - radar cruise (no lane-keep!!) 1440€ - park assist + 360 cam 488€ - alarm (no video recording) 760€ - etc. etc. What the...?

[@christianurban]

Well if you want seat ventilation, leather, a 360-camera, etc. the Model Y isn’t really an option. I guess it is a question of what you want. I’d happily treat 0.5 seconds of acceleration of my Model 3 for every one of these options.

@@NO3V I don’t choose cars based on their list price. Monthly rates are what matter. And what I meant is, that your complaining about the price of extras which aren’t even offered on the Model Y. Less options lead to less complexity, which make the car cheaper. If those options are important to you, you might want to choose that car if you get a good deal. Everybody has a different taste. I drive a Model 3 myself and still think it sucks that they don’t even offer a 360-degree-parking-camera for that price or at least as an upgrade.

[@Hannu9999]

"It feels as if it was constant winter mode". Indeed it does! But I am sorry to cause you a disappointment. The Mercedes engineers did not need to watch your (superb!) videos to arrive at this conclusion. It's just that EQx 4Matic is programmed with the traditional feel of ICE Mercedes 4Matic. On my test drive of EQA 4Matic I was surprised by how well they programmed the traditional 4Matic feel in it. If you have ever driven E-class 4Matic, you will feel home in EQA. Mercedes 4Matic is like an English butler. Always present, always at your service, always perfectly correct. And without any sense of humour whatsoever. Fun & games with lift-off oversteer and powerslides are somewhere else. 4Matic does not shout out loud, but it conveys a clear message "Ordnung muss sein!".
