Mercedes-Benz has introduced a new City Edition version of its 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQA and Mercedes-Benz EQB that adds more kit and lowers the price of entry models by up to $4000.
The 2025 Mercedes EQA 250+ City Edition will slot into the bottom rung of the EQA range, priced from $80,700 plus on-road costs (ORCs). The new trim is $4000 less than the previous entry-model EQA 250+ it’s based on.
If you need more space, the seven-seat EQB 250+ City Edition, meanwhile, costs $85,400 plus ORCs – a chunky $3700 less than the existing EQB 250+.

Sweetening the deal, Mercedes has also thrown in a three-year Service Plan Package and 12 months of free top-ups at Chargefox public charging stations.
The most basic EQA and EQB don’t skimp on kit as they ride on 19-inch AMG alloy wheels, include an AMG Line body kit and get free metallic paint as standard.
Inside, there’s even a sliding panoramic roof, keyless entry/start, a hands-free tailgate and heated memory sport seats wrapped in Artico synthetic leather.
There’s also a Nappa leather steering wheel, 10.25-inch widescreen infotainment system that works with Apple CarPlay and Android Auto, a premium sound system and a wireless smartphone charger.
Finally, driver-assist tech includes a 360-degree camera, an auto park function, adaptive cruise, blind-spot assist and lane-keep assist.
The City Edition is only offered with a single powertrain based on the EQA/EQB 250+ that includes a single e-motor that drives the front wheels and produces 140kW and 385Nm.
Combined with a 70.5-kilowatt-hour battery, the EQA can travel up to 578km (NEDC) on a charge before plugging in, while the larger EQB needs charging after 564km.
When it comes to pricing the latest Mercedes EQA 250+ City Edition appears to have the competition licked compared to the Audi Q4 e-tron SUV ($84,900) – until you remember the Audi gets a much punchier 210kW e-motor. However, the claimed 524km range is lower.
Undercutting both (just) is the BMW iX1 (from $80,600) that also gets a little more power (150kW) but much less torque (250Nm) but gets a shorter 475km (WLTP) range.
