The Mercedes-EQ EQA 300 4MATIC alongside these alternatives:
Performance
The Mercedes-EQ EQA 300 4MATIC has a maximum power of 168 kW (228 hp / 225 bhp) and a total torque of 390 Nm (288 lb-ft). It accelerates from 0 to 100 km/h (0 to 62 mph) in 7.7 seconds and reaches a top speed of 160 km/h (99 mph).
Battery, Range, and Charging
The battery has a gross capacity of 69.7 kWh and a net usable capacity of 66.5 kWh, with a 3.2 kWh buffer (4.6%) for battery protection. With a nominal voltage of 367 volts, the system is classified as a 400-volt battery system.
The lithium-ion battery uses NMC (nickel manganese cobalt) chemistry.
Under the WLTP (Worldwide Harmonized Light Vehicles Test Procedure) standard, the maximum rated range is 438 km (272 miles). Depending on the configuration and options such as wheel size, the rated range can be as low as 411 km (255 miles). Larger wheels generally increase energy consumption and reduce range.
WLTP energy consumption is 15.2 kWh/100 km for the base configuration and 16.2 kWh/100 km for the highest-consumption configuration.
For more details about the range, see real-world data and range listings on this model’s range and consumption page.
The vehicle supports fast DC charging with a maximum power of 112 kW. A 0–100% charge takes approximately 65 minutes. A typical 10–80% session takes about 30 minutes at an average power of 94 kW.
With five minutes of overhead per stop, the optimal charging window is 4–70%. Effective average power, including overhead, is 83 kW over a session lasting about 32 minutes and 53 seconds.
In a 1000 km challenge at a constant speed of 120 km/h (75 mph) with an assumed consumption rate of 22 kWh/100 km, the trip would take about 10 hours and 12 minutes, needing four charging stops from 4% to 62%, totaling 113 minutes of charging time.
Onboard Charger
The standard onboard charger supports AC charging at up to 11 kW. A full 0–100% charge takes about 6 hours and 2 minutes with a suitable home charging setup.
Charge Port
The location of the charge port is on the right rear side. This placement makes it easy to use charging stations that require backing up to connect.
Connector types vary by market: this model uses CCS Combo 1 in North America and CCS Combo 2 in Europe. For complete specifications for all markets, refer to the full specifications.
Drivetrain

Regenerative Braking
The regenerative braking system in this model offers several modes. The most efficient option is the Automatic Regeneration Mode, where the vehicle coasts when possible and employs regenerative braking to reduce speed as needed.
Manual regeneration is another mode, where regenerative braking is controlled by pressing the brake pedal. The brake system blends in physical brakes only when necessary.
Another option is the Regen on Accelerator Pedal mode where regenerative braking is activated when the driver eases off the accelerator pedal. This system allows the vehicle to slow down and recover energy without the driver needing to press the brake pedal, a feature often referred to as one-pedal driving.
Drivers can also adjust the regenerative braking strength when lifting off the accelerator. There are four levels of regenerative braking to choose from, allowing you to customize the driving experience to your preference.
