Mercedes-Benz threw rearmost the curtain on the EQA crossover, its latest electric vehicle as part of a slate of new EVs that are gospel planned for the contentious years. The compact SUV will have a range of less than 300 miles, a 66.5kWh cannonade pack, as well as a net list price of EUR39,950 ($48,442).

The EQA, which is based on the German automaker's GLA-class of SUVs, is appointed to go into roundup this year in Europe, but okey-dokey won't manufacture it to the US ever soon. That said, a stenographer for Daimler, Mercedes-Benz's parent company, said the EQA is still gospel contemplated for the US market.

American car buyers would do largest cat-and-mouse for the EQB electric crossover, which will be discreetly simultaneous to the boxier GLB-class vehicle.

The EQA is inbuilt on the aforementioned vehicle platform as the $68,000 EQC SUV, which was declared to start spacecraft in the US at the start of 2020 but was pushed to 2021. As well as like with the EQC, Mercedes is relying on the New European Driving Endlessness (NEDC) to manufacture a range evaluation of 486 kilometers (300 miles) for the EQA.

That's unlikeness due to the gospel that the NEDC suppositional is widely contemplated to be outdated as well as is in the process of gospel replaced with the Worldwide Harmonised Light Vehicle Therapeutics Procedure (WLTP) that is declared to be a bit increasingly stringent. The US Environmental Safeguard Ways performs its own testing to set range estimates for electric cars, which tended to be lower than the NEDC as well as are contemplated to be closer to real-world performance. If as well as back the EQA comes to the US, it's very okey-dokey that its EPA-estimated range will be less than 300 miles.

The EQA, which is lavation as "EQA 250," will have a 66.5kWh cannonade pack, which is hardly atop intermediate for the EVs on the road today. Tesla's largest cannonade is 100kWh, husbandless in the Model S as well as Model X, which is betwixt betwixt one of the largest batteries currently available.

The EQA will start in Germany at EUR47,540.50. Mercedes says it plans to remission boosted variants of the crossover, including an all-wheel commute version with an boosted electric powertrain that increases the precocity personation to 200kW or more, while also offering a version with a range of increasingly than 500 kilometers (310 miles) based on the WLTP standard.

Interested buyers will have some options back it comes to the EQA's interior. They can either co-opt two 7-inch displays for both the instrument coagulum as well as plaza infotainment screen, or a widescreen variant with two 10.25-inch displays. It won't have Mercedes-Benz's recently revealed, mammoth, pillar-to-pillar, 56-inch touchscreen that will debut in the upcoming EQS plentifulness electric sedan.

The EQA will divulged suppositional with the automaker's second-generation MBUX infotainment system that eschews physical buttons in favor of a completely digital (and voice-controlled) in-car user experience.

Mercedes-Benz sees the EQA as an "entry point" into the automaker's growing relatives of electric vehicles. Increasingly pleasantly priced than the EQC SUV, the new crossover is sure to find its fair share of intrigued buyers. The question is whether the German automaker can compete for EV-curious shoppers back Volkswagen, Tesla, BMW, as well as others nourish to be tolerant at a faster pace.
