After offering a first peek at the model yesterday, Mercedes-Benz today officially presented the EQA 250, which gives us more detailed information on the second all-electric model to join the luxury automaker’s lineup.
The EQA 250 will be followed in short order by the EQS sedan, set to be unveiled soon, and joins the EQC SUV on the Silver Star brand’s roster. The EQA is the electric counterpart of the GLA.
Looked at from the outside, the EQA 250 stands out mainly via a distinct front fascia, which integrates the headlights with the front grille to offer a more homogeneous and aerodynamic package. The headlights are also connected by an illuminated crossbar that crosses the top of the front end. At the rear, the lights have an illuminated section that extends across the tailgate. The EQA also benefits from exclusive wheels designed reducing air resistance and feature colourful accents.
