Mercedes-Benz EQB Sales Surge Reflects Growing Electric Leadership
January 30 2025,
Mercedes-Benz EQB sales have nearly doubled in Canada during 2024, with an impressive 93.8% increase over the previous year. This remarkable growth demonstrates how Quebec drivers increasingly choose electric luxury that doesn't compromise on performance or capability. The fourth quarter results proved particularly strong, with EQB deliveries rising by 128.3% compared to the same period in 2023.
The EQB's 70.5 kWh battery system powers either the front-wheel drive EQB 250+ or the versatile EQB 300 4MATIC, giving Quebec drivers the power to choose based on their specific needs. Each model delivers the refined driving experience you expect from Mercedes-Benz, backed by advanced electric technology.
Growing Demand for Electric Luxury
The substantial increase in EQB sales aligns with Quebec's position as Canada's leading electric vehicle market. Quebec drivers understand the advantages of electric mobility, from reduced operating costs to environmental benefits. With DC fast-charging capability of up to 100 kW, allowing a 10-80% charge in just 32 minutes, the EQB fits seamlessly into your daily routine.
Sales data reveals that drivers particularly value the EQB's combination of space, capability, and refined driving dynamics. The momentum gained throughout 2024 points to growing confidence in electric vehicles as primary family vehicles, even in Quebec's demanding climate.
Performance That Matches Quebec's Climate
Winter driving capability ranks among the top concerns for Quebec drivers considering an electric vehicle. The EQB addresses these concerns with its advanced 4MATIC all-wheel drive system, specifically calibrated for electric performance. In the EQB 300 4MATIC, this translates to 225 horsepower and 288 lb-ft of instant torque, delivering superior traction control essential for navigating winter roads between Montreal and Mont-Tremblant.
The EQB's battery system includes sophisticated thermal management that maintains consistent performance in cold weather. This technology ensures reliable range and performance even during Quebec's coldest months, while pre-conditioning features let you warm the cabin before departure without reducing battery charge.
Smart Features for Daily Driving
The EQB's practical features make it ideal for Quebec families. The flexible interior accommodates up to seven passengers when needed, with the third row suitable for people up to 1.65 metres tall. The cargo space ranges from 495 to 1,710 litres for five-seater models and 465 to 1,620 litres for seven-seaters, while the second row offers 140 millimetres of adjustment to optimize space. The standard 10.25-inch touchscreen puts all controls at your fingertips, with specific electric vehicle functions for charging station navigation and range optimization.
Charging proves convenient with multiple options available. The EQB's 100 kW DC fast-charging capability can add up to 80% charge in about 32 minutes at DC fast-charging stations. For daily charging, the 9.6 kW onboard charger ensures your EQB stays ready for any journey.
The Electric Advantage in Quebec
The growing charging network across Quebec supports confident electric vehicle ownership. With access to over 20,000 public charging points in Canada through Mercedes me Charge, including extensive coverage in the Greater Montreal area and expanding infrastructure along major routes, the EQB fits seamlessly into your daily routine and weekend adventures.
