The Mercedes-Benz EQA is an entry-level electric model from Mercedes-Benz, offered in a few versions - front-wheel-drive EQA 250 and all-wheel-drive EQA 300 4MATIC and EQA 350 4MATIC.
Today, we will take a look at the cold weather range test of the EQA 350 4Matic, performed by Bjørn Nyland at a temperature of 2°C and two constant speed levels.
According to the video (results are listed below), the estimated range at 90 km/h (56 mph) is 321 km (200 miles), compared to 228 km (142 miles) at 120 km/h (75 mph).
It's not a bad result, but not necessarily good either, especially when considering a 79.8 kWh battery pack (with 66.5 kWh of usable capacity).
