AT last a good 7 seater EV car in Hong Kong (EQB250)

I test drive A EQB250 for over 1h and like it compared to other EV SUV
The drive was good and soiled around corners for a very heavy car with 6 people inside, not that quick but ok for family use. It does not feel like an SUV and does not feel like 3 tons in the car with 6 people inside.
I like the stopping of the motor regen, so much smoother than other EV cars. 1 thing con about it is the brakes need better ones if fully loaded, it good job the brakes can have help from the motor to stop the car. Think I will swap the brake pads and disc to racing ones.
Inside is quiet for a mid-size SUV and well built.
The sound system is OK but will upgrade it.
The space is quite roomy for the 1st and 2nd rows and the 3rd row can seat 2 adults under 165cm BUT only for short trips like under 1h. If a long trip you will feel tired on the legs, so maybe need to stop and stretch a bit.
I tested the boot space to see if it can carry 4 big luggage and still seat 4 people in the 1st and 2nd-row seats, wow it just fits with some space for bags and the boot door can close but the 2 hand luggage will have to go in the middle of the 2nd row.
SO I have put down a deposit and ordered the EQB250 AMG package.

Sorry about that. I thought the image shows your vehicle, hopefully you get it sooner rather than later then.

No problem, I don't think it be sooner because the shipping arrives in June and takes a few more weeks to get it on the road

Many complained the build quality of the GLB, and you say the EQB built quality is good?

So country of origin matters?

Only tested most EV SUV cars
