Mercedes EQB 300 4MATIC (228 hp) | electric 7-seater!

[@johnnypovdrives]

Question: do you like the EQB? And if so, would you use all 7 seats?

[@florante4991]

Hmmm... either you have cargo or you have a 3rd row. I still would spring for the Model Y bro.

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@florante4991 haven’t had the chance to drive the Model Y. Does it come with 7 seats, only the Model X does, right?

[@DMulabiTalejan]

I can only buy a 7-seater car. This is my car because it is the only 7-seat EV so far (if i am not mistaken).

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@DMulabiTalejan Hi David, you can configure the Tesla Model X in a 7-seater configuration, but other than that the options are limited. Thanks for watching!

[@peterschimmell3557]

@@florante4991 have you seen the model Y ? only extremely short people will fit in that third row - atleast the EQB will fit people up to 165cm...

У вас самые душевные, приятные видео! Спасибо

[@rinnajonathan]

I absolutely love your videos. They are just so much fun, while being calming. Everytime they end, I get upset because I want more lol! Love your content, and greetings from the Caribbean!

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks so much! That’s a really great compliment 🫶

[@Vellfire_GG]

Cool bro it’s been a while since you uploaded

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks, I know & hate it not being able to consistently upload every week like I planned. I’ve been working on some other projects that needed much attention. Anyway, 2023 looks very promising, hope I’ll be uploading weekly again soon. Thanks for the support! 🙏🙏🙏

[@forzaitalia9633]

Practical, spacious, beautiful infotainment system and gorgeous seats with red stitching on them. It’s a pleasure to drive this thing. Love your content as always and greetings from Italy! 👍

[@johnnypovdrives]

Thanks, glad you like it! Hope to see you again on a next drive (and hope to be driving in Italy again some time) ✌️😁

[@design_mek5350]

love your style of video review

[@Superman-xr1oh]

That 3rd row looks brutal.

[@johnnypovdrives]

More space in the 3rd row than in the Tesla Model X. 😄

Interesting to see some changes already to my EQB which based on your license plate is only a couple months more recent. Looks like they finally are putting 2 USB-C's in the rear. Also mine has AR Navigation. Did see a g-meter in your model though, which must be because it's the AMG trim, I guess.

[@johnnypovdrives]

This is a car from Mercedes Belgium, so not sure how that works with the number plates. But the drive was recorded last year, just didn’t have the time to edit it. I often see variations on a theme :). Not only MB, lots of brands.

[@timifie7868]

Cool Video, as always! It really looks like the perfect soccer mom car. I wouldnt choose the 7 seat option, because of the minimum space that is left when they are open.. otherwise a cool car, with lots of features

[@johnnypovdrives]

Yep, 7 seats but for how long can you travel with 7 people… Thanks for watching & commenting! ✨🙏✨

[@gunterrr2302]

The car as you reviewed it costs around 75k, so unless you absolutely need those 7 seats there are way better EV options out there. And it also doesn't seem like a practical 7 seater since there is no more trunk space when you use all seats.

[@johnnypovdrives]

That’s right, € 72.000 incl. VAT in Belgium. I agree, it’s a very niche target group, because if you always need 7 seats, you better get an EQV. The EQS SUV also comes as a 7-seater but that’s probably double the price. Or you could get a Tesla Model X.

[@michelesiciliano2016]

Unfortunately there aren't practically any affordable 7 seat EVs. It would be cool to see Dacia do an electric Dacia Jogger 😅

[@viperhd70]

The car for sure is way overpriced. However, I suspect it may be quite popular here in Belgium as a company car as it seems quite interesting in lease.

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@michelesiciliano2016 that would be a great affordable 7 seater EV indeed. Only other 7-seater I've come across is the EQS SUV, but that's even worse budget wise...

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@viperhd70 exactly... Belgian leasing logic still is a mystery to me 😅

[@BruceCccc]

Just planning to change to EQB from a 2018 C200 FL because of it's EV and 5+2 seating~ and still a Mercedes!

[@johnnypovdrives]

Good choice! Other option is the EQS SUV. But that's at another budget... 😅

[@dipperfalls2902]

I really like your videos and i would be thankful if u could make a video of honda civic hybrid 😁

[@joyceamoako21]

I Love you budey

[@takatoekoe]

Plannen om de Kia Xceed GT-line 2023 te reviewen?

[@johnnypovdrives]

Good suggestion! But no, not immediately, as I don't have a contact person at KIA yet :).

[@DrPhyoAungKyaw]

Is the sunroof standard on AMG Line 300?

[@johnnypovdrives]

I have no idea if that is part of the AMG Line pack 🤷‍♂️

[@optuke]

Can carseat fit in last row?

[@DreStyle]

Driven one today, I had to say it drives very good... But I rather drive my M car... You really miss the roar of a engine

[@everythinginbetween4440]

Not the 2024 version you need to correct your title.

[@johnnypovdrives]

Say what, is there a 2024 facelift? Didn’t know that!

[@everythinginbetween4440]

​@@johnnypovdrivesYes it has the S class style steering wheel and updated front end. 🙂

[@kieliopinkuningas9577]

Good car but it’s so massive

[@johnnypovdrives]

But then again you can fit 7 people in it ✌️😄

[@tonyn3227]

More mfgs should do this , just electrify what you already have before investing billions on ev platform.

[@Sparkpluggy]

Savagegeese absolutely crucified this car, but I think it's fine. Could use fewer touch controls and screens though. Oh and the lighting is super tacky. Looks like a brothel.

[@johnnypovdrives]

Well I get it. I wasn’t very impressed with it either when Mercedes first announced it. But when driving and using it on a daily basis, I must admit it’s just a very decent & practical car. And luxurious too, I see those brothel lights as a good thing. ✌️😄

[@viperhd70]

Savagegeese seem to hate on Mercedes anyway, though they did have some valid points. Charging speed may be an issue for long distance travelers, of which you have plenty in the US. For Belgium, this is a non-issue, I think. And about the lights, you don't have to choose red :).

[@johnnypovdrives]

@@viperhd70 👌😄 exactly. AC charging at 11kW seems quite standard. All DC charging lower than 150 kW is slow these days indeed.
