Post 2023 Order Guide

Hot on the heels of the 2022 order guide release, MBUSA has decided to publish the 2023 version a little more than a week later.
2023 appears to include a new model, the EQB250W.

FWIW, I'm in the USA and today we were able to configure a 2023 EQB 350 while sitting at the dealer with our salesman. On the MB internal order screen there were options for both adaptive suspension (adjustable dampers) and a hitch receptacle. Neither was listed in the current order guide.

Fingers crossed the adaptive suspension is accepted for order (and then again later for production) when they use their allocation in a couple weeks.

nice! Can’t wait to see pictures, great to hear about adjustable dampers. Not sure how close to an air ride system but I miss the air suspension in my old C350e. Loved that waft / stability at highway speeds

I configured one at the dealer in late March. Then the salesman called me last week saying that Mercedes was delaying production due to chip shortages. That didn't surprise me, but the fact that he couldn't give any production estimate has me a little concerned. Since you configured about a month after me, did your dealer give you any estimate on timing or even price?

Nothing specific other than “Fall” and nothing on pricing, other than what’s in the current order guide for options. The dealer claimed that their MB EV trainer had just been there and “nicely equipped” would be around $60K. FWIW, MB is publicly targeting the Audi Q4 as a “comparable” in the media handouts, so that would be the right ballpark.

E350 4matic Wagon
EQB Ordering

My boss leased an EQS a couple of weeks ago and the ride and cabin were amazing!

Here in the US filling my 2007 E350 Wagon is now a $102 proposition. I cancelled my GLB order and have started the EQB ordering process - we are early to the show and our reviews matter.

My main hopes are that Mercedes engages in rigorous quality control. I want a long lasting paint and quality interior. Keep on advancing the engineering as we go into new model years.

New version uploaded. Mostly minor, unlisted changes:
  • Galaxy Blue paint now restricted to the 250 model only.
  • Wheel pricing and availability updates.
  • Price of the Exclusive Package up $250 (just like for 2022).
  • Standalone wireless charging removed.
  • Acceleration 0-60 spec changed from 7sec to 6sec for the 350 model.

thanks for the updated version. I placed an order (US, DC area) last week with a dealer and there were a bunch of options on the dealers order page that are not mentioned in this order guide. E.g. illuminated star sign, adaptive suspension, park guard, spoiler in paint color, parking assistant, dash cam etc.
the order page of the dealer still had no prices so not sure if any of the options are actually available or not but it is very confusing that so close??? to the launch of this vehicle in the US nobody seems to know much about it.

Yup, it seems really odd. We “ordered” the adaptive suspension and now it’s wait-and-see if that’s really gonna happen. I’d like to think the internal order system is the accurate version but the whole process has been off kilter compared to our previous experience with MB orders.

Both of those things are normal. Consider the dealer system the source of truth. Sometimes the order guide can be a little out of sync with what is shown there.

My dealer didn't see adaptive suspension not dash am in there order system when I called 2 months ago. I've only been communicating with them over the phone (dealer is 50 miles away) do different dealers get different options? Is it possible these didn't exist in his system then and does now? Is it worth calling again?

Every dealer sees the same options. It's very likely the options are there now and you should ask them to check.

The model will become available for order in the US later this summer.

https://insideevs.com/news/589982/me...announced/amp/
Question…how are you guys able to order already? It says above that ordering will only be available later in the summer.

Secondly, is your dealership charging markup on these when you order them? And anyone know of any Mercedes dealerships that doesn’t charge markups in California?

Just mention another dealer is ready for you to preorder through them and they'll change their tune.

I've preordered 2023 EQB250 through MB Temecula no mark up. From what I know it's the only socal dealer doing no mark up. Fletcher jones wants you to sign a docusign that says your committed to purchase regardless the markup. Such a joke.

Yeah, screw that.

FWIW, my local dealer is MSRP for customer orders (like our EQB) and "market price" for vehicles on the lot. We've ordered multiple vehicles from them over the years and part of the fun of a customer order is getting exactly what you want. I've never bought anything for MSRP before, but in this market it is what it is.

With respect to the hitch receptacle, any word on the towing capacity?

I just ordered an EQB350 and didn't see a hitch receptacle option. However, Netstar did allow me to order 457 Suspension w/ Adjustable Damping.

Now let's see when/if it gets built. My dealer said they had several orders for the EQC before that was cancelled.

MBUSA cancelled the EQC long before we got to the order bank or allocation stage.
EQB allocations are out there.

So if Fletcher Jones (the largest volume MB dealer in the U.S.) is saying MB has not yet opened EQB ordering on Netstar they are not being entirely truthful?

IMHO, it's more like a loss in translation. Unless something has changed in the past week, dealers can configure 2023 EQBs in NetStar but they are not technically orders yet.

That's more or less consistent with what the dealers are saying. Does MB typically start accepting orders before Netstar shows pricing? And what about the cars you said are at the VPC's? Are those dealer orders, or something else? Thank you for sharing your insight.

FWIW, I'm not an insider and did not mention the VPCs, so all I can share is what I've been told by my dealer. Hopefully @mercedesmax can chime in again.

Right now 2023 EQB 250 and 300 models have been allocated. Order bank is open.
2023 EQB 350 model has not been allocated.
2022 model ordering and allocation is closed.
