The EQA in the Premium trim would be the best option. AWD can be opted for extra power and grip along with added stability. The Premium trim is expected to be priced around $62,000 and comes as a mid-level trim. The detailed list of options is not available yet, but the Premium trim would be properly equipped. 

While the performance figures from the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA are not very impressive, the overall range offered by the car on a single charge is definitely one of the best in the segment. The car gets a claimed range of 265 miles from the 66.5 kWh battery pack, which is definitely appreciable. A quick comparison of the upcoming Mercedes-Benz EQA with its rivals can be seen in the table below: 

The new Model Y definitely comes out to be the most efficient car in its class, and in addition to this, also offers the convenience of fast charging to further make it a practical choice for urban dwellers. However, the EQA isn’t too far behind either when it comes to the overall range. The 2021 ID.4 Pro also follows with the third-best range, while the Ford Mustang Mach-E has the least range.

The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA appears to be one of the most elegant-looking in its segment and gets a subtle yet aggressive stance. The blacked-out parts at the front, in addition to the LED treatment throughout, give it a unique identity and differentiate it from the standard GLA. The 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA also boasts a premium build quality and is offered with almost all the bells and whistles. From the sides, the 19-inch alloy wheels are the center of attraction and complement the overall design of the vehicle. 

The lower variants of the EQA are expected to feature smaller 18-inch wheels, while 20-inch alloys may be available in the higher trims. The EQA definitely looks more like a normal, stylish SUV rather than a futuristic plain-looking EV. This might attract more buyers considering the fact that many of the EV’s, from Tesla in specific, look so plain and too simple. More details about the car will be available post the launch. 

In terms of dimensions, the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQA is at par with the segment standards, but cars like the Mach-E are definitely larger and have a more imposing road presence. However, the EQA is one of the best-looking EVs in the segment with an overall sleeker and elegant exterior.

• Aluminum Roof Rails

The 2022 EQA is built upon the GLA’s platform, which has already proven to be an impressively safe vehicle. High-strength/low-alloy (HSLA) and ultra-high-strength & press-hardened sheet steel are used in critical areas of the structure such as the roof pillars, floor and roof cross-members, door beams, and various other body reinforcements of the platforms. As expected from a Mercedes, the EQA is expected to feature a plethora of safety features, including active brake assist, attention assist, blind-spot assist, and crosswind assist. The platform is a tried and tested one, and no one has any doubts about the impeccable build quality of any Mercedes.

• Electronic Stability Program (ESP)
• Electronic Traction System

All in all, the EQA is definitely a superb overall vehicle in the segment filled with more luxury and quality than the competition.
