The EQB would be the first electric 7-seater luxury SUV in India and will open a new segment in terms of combining 7-seats along with being an EV.
The spy pics do give a hint of what to expect while the EQB has a slightly different look to the GLB with an EV-specific grille and other EQ touches like different alloys. The interior design is similar to the GLA while the typical high-quality switchgear is what we can expect while the battery is placed in the floor, the EQB has squeezed out a 7-seater lay-out while the second row seats are sliding.
With the seats up, the boot space is 1320 litres.
We are yet to get the India specs of the EQB but worldwide there are two variants with dual motor layout while the battery size is 66.5kWh battery.
