As confusing as this sounds, Mercedes actually has reduced the complexity of its EQA models.
A combination of Mercedes cash on the hood with taxpayer subsidies means its EQA compact EV in Germany is “entry level” starting at 37,970.50 euros for the EQA 250 including 19% VA. Rated at power of 140 kW, other variants will follow including a series of all-wheel-drive models with an additional electric powertrain (eATS) and an output of 200 kW or more, and a version with a range of more than 500 kilometers (WLTP). The EQA comes with one year of Mercedes me Charge included. For Mercedes me Charge customers in Europe, this includes ‘green charging’ during this period at no extra cost. The EQA is available to order now, with the first models reaching retailers in the spring.
The relatively low German price is based on discounts of 9000 euros: government share 6000 euros, Mercedes-Benz share 3000. If the EQA is used as a company car, only a quarter of the gross list price is subject to taxation for private use. The Mercedes-Benz Bank offers financing and leasing terms for both private and business customers. The EQA 250 with Business Package is available for leasing by business customers from 399 euros a month. The leasing offer is valid for orders placed by 31 March 2021, while stocks last.
The leasing price is based on the manufacturer’s recommended retail price of 40,935 euros for the Mercedes-Benz EQA 250 with Business Package, plus local delivery costs, minus a subsidy of 3000 euros from Mercedes-Benz AG, a special leasing payment of 6000 euros and a lease term of 36 months. All figure quoted in euros are subject to the addition of VAT.*
Standard equipment on the EQA includes LED headlamps with Adaptive Highbeam Assist, the EASY-PACK tailgate with electrically operated opening and closing, 18-inch light-alloy wheels, ambient lighting with 64 colors, a double cup holder, luxury seats with four-way adjustable lumbar support, a reversing camera, and a leather multifunction sports steering wheel. Also standard are the infotainment system MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) and the Navigation with Electric Intelligence system.
With ‘green charging’, Mercedes me Charge supplies detailed guarantees of origin proving that the charging energy used with Mercedes me Charge is being fed into the grid from renewable sources. This means that EQA drivers can be ‘green’ when they charge at any of the 175,000 charging points across Europe, and further reduce the carbon footprint. The EQA comes with one year of Mercedes me Charge included. For Mercedes me Charge customers in Europe, this includes ‘green charging’ during this period at no extra cost.
Various available packages also allow Mercedes-EQ customers to charge at the IONITY fast charging stations at a discounted price of € 0.29/kWh. These include the Business Package EQ (1172.15 euros). Along with “Remote and Charging Services Premium”, this comprises the Connectivity Package Navigation (a combination of Mercedes me connect services and hard-disc navigation), Traffic Sign Assist, heated seats for the driver and front passenger, Smartphone Integration and pre-installation for the digital key handover.
As confusing as this sounds, Mercedes actually has reduced the complexity of its EQA models. Instead of having to decide between over 100 individual options, customers have a choice of three pre-configured packages:
- Advanced Package (2570.40 euros, included in Edition 1) adds a series of comfort and safety features to the standard specification of the EQA. In the interior, two 10.25-inch displays meld together to form a Widescreen Cockpit. The driver is supported by Blind Spot Assist, the Mirror Package and the Parking Package with reversing camera.
- Advanced Plus Package (3677.10 euros, in conjunction with the Edition 1 model: 1106.70 euros) is an enhancement to the Advanced Package that further increases comfort. It includes the KEYLESS-GO Convenience Package, THERMOTRONIC two-zone automatic climate control, an audio system delivering impressive sound and wireless smartphone charging.
- Premium Package (5557.30 euros, with the Edition 1 model: 2986.90 euros) enhances the scope of the Advanced and Advanced Plus Packages by the addition of a panoramic sliding sunroof, a surround sound system and the Parking Package with 360° camera.
*The special leasing payment of 6000 euros corresponds to the government’s innovation premium. The special leasing payment is an optional one-off payment at the commencement of the contract, which reduces the level of the monthly leasing instalments. There is a possibility of reimbursement of part of the special leasing payment of 6000 euros as an innovation premium from the government following proof of registration (application and evidence of use to be submitted to BAFA, the Federal Office for Economic Affairs and Export Control by the lessee). The innovation premium of 6000 euros paid by the federal government is granted for eligible electric vehicles first registered after 3 June 2020 and up until 31 December 2021.
