After introducing in January, Mercedes has now added two new members to the all-electric EQA family and the new versions come with all-wheel drive system. The new the EQA 300 4MATIC comes with with 168 kW of power and the EQA 350 4MATIC comes with 215 kW.

These versions will also get an electric powertrain at the rear axle with a newly developed permanently excited synchronous motor (PSM).

Apart from these, there also are intuitively operated MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system and the Navigation with Electric Intelligence system.

Further to these, Mercedes has also tried to make choosing a variant less complex by offering a choice of three pre-configured packages instead of having to decide between over 100 individual options.

The Advanced Package adds a series of comfort and safety features to the standard specification while in the interior, two 10.25-inch displays merge to form a Widescreen Cockpit. The Advanced Plus Package enhances comfort in terms of climate control, wireless charging and better quality audio.
