Like the EQC and the EQS, which are based on the GLC and S-Class models, the upcoming EQB is based on the brand's GLB SUV. The EQB follows the same upright design, albeit with some EQ design elements. The EQB features a closed-off grille, housing the prominent Mercedes star, flanked by angular swept-back headlamps. The EQB also sits on unique wheels while at the rear the tail lamps in comparison to the regular GLB are sleeker and connected by a full-width light bar. In terms of size, the Mercedes-Benz EQB measures about 100 mm shorter than the EQC in length with the wheelbase shorter by about 44 mm.

Inside, the cabin shares its design with some of Mercedes’ newer SUVs with a wide free-standing display unit sitting atop a shelf-like cut-out on the dashboard. The displays house the digital instrument cluster and the central touchscreen running the company’s MBUX software with physical controls for the air-con positioned below. Like the GLB, the all-electric EQB will also get a three-row cabin layout, making it a 7-seater SUV.
