The confident presence of the model continues at the flanks with its sleek yet considered lines running from tip to trunk. Moreover, the 19-inch, five-spoke light alloy wheels give the EQB 350 a powerful stance on the road. As a further distinctive design feature, the squarer rear bumper’s LED tail-light assembly merges seamlessly into the tapering LED light strip across the width of the tailgate. A standard-fit reversing camera has been integrated into the automatically pivoting Mercedes-Benz star at the back.

Interior

As we step inside the vehicle, the interior of the EQB 350 is full of highquality materials and exhibits luxury-level build quality with excellent leather and soft-touch fabrics. The cabin is exquisitely designed with ambient lighting, there’re 64 colours to choose from, and well-appointed with elegant metallic accents that lend an upscale look to the space. The model’s steering column is four-way manually adjustable to help find an ideal driving position and view of the instruments. Moreover, as a surprising departure from the usual, the gear selector is situated beside the sturdy flat-bottom steering wheel.

The front seats are power adjustable and provide four-way power lumbar support which we really liked. A memory system for each of the front seats recalls three stored positions with the touch of a button. Meanwhile, the roomy three-passenger second row seats include a centre armrest with built-in cupholders.
