EQA [Official] The new 2021 Mercedes-Benz EQA EV

[BorkLaser]

Its expensive, small inside, heavy, slow, range is average. Why people would buy it?

Well, here in Germany you can get up to 9000€ EV incentives, which puts the base price of the EQA 250(47k€) into the GLA 180/200(38k€) area. Furthermore the base EQA comes with higher amount of standard equipment(rear view camera, LED headlights, stationary heating, heat pump, navigation, more assistent systems and more) compared to the regular GLA.

Also the EV Mercs are usually quieter, their build quality seems to be better compared to their ICE counterparts and you also do not have to deal with the 1.33 engine or the 7G dct in the GLA 180/200. Lower maintenance of the EQA is also a plus.

We can make a quiz: name the things in the EQA in which it is better than the Hyundai Ionik 5.
And send the result to Daimler.

Even interior quality of the Ionic is just superb for this class and way above the EQA. And then we don't even have to start about interior/exterior design, range, charging/DIScharging, practicality, spaciousness and whatever else I am missing.

I am sorry guys I do not want to come over as a troll or anything but this EQA probably looks worse than the already positively hideous EQS. The Germans have to step it up fast, otherwise the first half of the 21st century will be their downfall from the top. At least the EQS supposedly comes with the latest tech, whereas the EQA is a turd all around.

You're still the best @Wolfgang, don't take it personally (I know you won't). We all love your contributions and attitude.
