More about the Mercedes EQB
Practicality is at the heart of the EQB’s design. Even with all seven seats in place, it provides a generous 495 litres of cargo space, which expands to an impressive 1,710 litres when the rear seats are folded flat. Whether it’s the weekly shop, a family holiday, or outdoor adventures, the EQB offers the flexibility and space to suit every lifestyle.
Safety has always been a core value for Mercedes-Benz, and the EQB continues that tradition with a comprehensive suite of driver assistance technologies. Standard features include Active Distance Assist DISTRONIC, Active Steering Assist, Lane Keeping Assist, Blind Spot Monitoring, Autonomous Emergency Braking, a 360° camera, and Park Assist. Together, these systems ensure every journey is as safe, confident, and comfortable as possible.
The exterior design of the EQB perfectly combines elegance with practicality. It retains the familiar proportions of the Mercedes GLB but adds distinctive styling cues that define it as part of the EQ family. The front features the brand’s signature black panel grille, flanked by sleek LED headlights connected by a slim light bar that emphasises the vehicle’s width and futuristic character. From the side, the EQB’s upright yet aerodynamic silhouette showcases its spacious interior while maintaining a clean, modern aesthetic that reflects its electric identity.
What's my Towing Capacity?
The Mercedes-Benz EQB offers an impressive towing capacity of up to 1,800 kg, providing plenty of capability for a wide range of towing needs. This strength allows you to easily tow anything from a cycle carrier or small trailer to a medium-sized caravan, making the EQB both versatile and practical for everyday adventures.
To confirm your specific vehicle’s towing capacity, you can check the VIN plate, which is typically located on the driver’s side door frame. This plate provides key information about your vehicle’s maximum permissible weights, including towing limits, ensuring you always tow safely and within the manufacturer’s guidelines.
Which Towbar is best for my Mercedes EQB?
There are three different towbars available for the Mercedes-Benz EQB: the fixed swan neck towbar, the fixed flange towbar, and the detachable swan neck towbar. Each option offers distinct advantages depending on how often you tow and the type of accessories you plan to use.
The fixed flange towbar is a permanent fixture and is the most versatile of the three. It features a strong, bolted plate at the rear that allows for additional towing accessories to be attached, such as steps, bumper protectors, or towbar-mounted carriers. It is the only towbar design that supports bolt-on accessories, making it a great choice for those who tow frequently or need extra functionality.
The fixed swan neck towbar offers a more streamlined and elegant appearance. Its thin, curved design makes it particularly suitable for vehicles equipped with parking sensors, as the narrow neck provides extra clearance to help prevent interference with the sensors. Despite its slender form, it remains strong and reliable for towing trailers or carrying bikes.
The detachable swan neck towbar provides the same sleek, sensor-friendly design as the fixed version but with added flexibility. It features a simple twist-and-lock mechanism that allows the towbar neck to be easily removed when not in use. This means the EQB’s rear design can remain clean and uncluttered while still providing full towing capability when needed.
Overall, the fixed flange towbar is ideal for drivers seeking maximum versatility and accessory options, while the fixed or detachable swan neck towbars are perfect for those who prefer a more discreet, stylish look that complements the EQB’s design. For occasional towing and a seamless appearance, the detachable swan neck is the most convenient choice.
Will it need a bumper cut?
When fitting a towbar to a Mercedes-Benz EQB, a visible bumper cut will be required to ensure the correct installation and alignment. Our experienced towbar engineers carry out this modification with precision, ensuring the cut is as neat and discreet as possible to maintain the vehicle’s sleek appearance. Please note that the size and shape of the bumper cut may vary depending on any existing modifications or trim variations on your vehicle. These factors can influence how much material needs to be removed to achieve a safe and professional fit.
