The Mercedes-Benz EQV is a luxurious and spacious electric people-mover that stands out in the Australian market. As the all-electric version of the V-Class, it offers a premium, zero-emissions solution for large families, executive shuttles, or anyone who needs to transport up to seven people in comfort and style.

The Australian lineup for the EQV is centered around a single variant, the EQV 300 Long-Wheelbase. It’s powered by a front-mounted electric motor that produces 150 kW and 365 Nm of torque. This powertrain delivers a smooth and quiet driving experience, befitting its luxury status.

A key feature of the EQV is its large 90 kWh battery pack. This provides a respectable WLTP driving range of up to 418 km, which is more than enough for urban and suburban duties and even some longer trips. For charging, the EQV supports DC fast-charging up to 110 kW, which can top up the battery from 10% to 80% in approximately 45 minutes, making it practical for public charging stops.

The EQV comes standard with a seven-seat configuration, arranged in a 2-2-3 layout. This setup provides comfortable individual captain’s chairs in the second row and a three-seat bench in the third. However, for those who prioritize even more space and luxury, there’s an option to replace the third-row bench with two individual armchairs, creating a six-seat configuration with enhanced comfort and legroom. The rear seats are also mounted on a rail system, allowing for flexible positioning to maximize either passenger space or cargo volume.

Inside, the EQV is a showcase of Mercedes-Benz technology and luxury. It features the MBUX infotainment system with a 10.25-inch touchscreen, which includes “Hey Mercedes” voice control, Apple CarPlay, and Android Auto. Other standard features include power-sliding doors on both sides, leather upholstery, heated front seats, and a suite of advanced driver-assistance systems. With its blend of practicality, luxury, and electric power, the Mercedes-Benz EQV is a unique and compelling offering in the Australian people-mover market.
