I am thinking of buying 2023 EQB 250+. Is it reliable? I read a few reviews that talked about issues. I live in Nor Cal. Appreciate any feedback from 2023 owners. Thanks in advance.

You are downgrading if you go from C 350 e to a EQB 250+ though. Plus then you are going from a sedan to SUV?

I’ve had mine for a year. I’m really enjoying it. It’s quiet and rides nice

MarcoCharles

You mean, from the comfort perspective?

W205C43PFL

I am afraid so and the interior material quality as well.

My other concern is sound insulation downgrade.

Obviously the most important is if you like it and fits your needs OP, did you havw a chance to test drive one yet : ) ?

Tennis Dad

I beg to differ. I traded an E350in for my EQB and don’t consider it a downgrade in the least

That's good news for OP

MarcoCharles

Not yet. I am thinking of test driving it over the weekend.

FWIW, I've got a 2022 EQB 300 and not had a single problem. We've also got an EQS 580, and I've currently got a EQE 350 loaner in the garage, so I have a handy comparison of the models. The EQB is not on the same level in terms of luxury and materials as the other two, but really pleasant in its own way (all comments IMHO of course). I find the EQB to be just as quiet as the other two...maybe not having giant tires helps keep road noise down. The EQB seating position is much more upright, and the car has a more practical/usable rear hatch area than the other two. The EQS is just a better version of the EQE, but EQB just totally different, which I like. If I were you, I'd get at least a 300 if not a 350 for more pep. I find the 300 plenty peppy for suburban traffic, but would not want to go lower. Like all electric cars, depreciation has not been kind, and you can get killer deals on slightly used cars.
