Interestingly, both SUvs are full imports being CBUs. Lets talk pricing and here the EQB has its own niche with no other electric luxury SUV at this price point or having 7-seats while the GLB too does not have many rivals with 7-seats at this segment space.

Pricing for GLB 200 is INR 63.8 Lakhs, GLB 220d is INR 66.8 Lakhs, GLB 220d 4MATIC is INR 69.8 Lakhs and EQB 300 4MATIC is INR 74.5 Lakhs (all India ex-showroom prices).

The EQB will come with a complimentary AC Wallbox Charger while Mercedes-Benz already installed 30 Ultra-Fast Chargers (180 / 60 kWh). While EVs typically come with an 8-year battery warranty, the GLB diesel and petrol too come with an 8-year engine warranty as well. Mercedes-Benz hopes to satiate demand for its luxury cars and also fill gaps in the market while already having a vast luxury SUV portfolio.

The carmaker has already launched other EVs in India like the recent EQS luxury sedan.
