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).
Results at 90 km/h (56 mph)
- range of 321 km (200 miles)
- energy consumption of 203 Wh/km (327 Wh/mile)
- used battery capacity: 65.1 kWh (carried over from the summer test)
- temperature of 2°C
- 19″ Nokian R3 (235/50-19)
Results at 120 km/h (75 mph); up 33% compared to 90 km/h:
- range of 228 km (142 miles); down 29%
- energy consumption of 283 Wh/km (455 Wh/mile); up 39%
- used battery capacity: 65.1 kWh (carried over from the summer test)
- temperature of 2°C
- 19″ Nokian R3 (235/50-19)
For reference, the front-wheel-drive version (EQA 250) tested previously (see another video below), at 11-13°C, noted about a fifth more range. This version is about 120 kg lighter, according to Bjørn Nyland, and also had smaller wheels. Its WLTP range is about 426 km (265 miles).
Results at 90 km/h (56 mph)
- range of 390 km (242 miles)
- energy consumption of 167 Wh/km (269 Wh/mile)
- used battery capacity: 65.1 kWh (estimated)
- temperature of 13°C
- 18″ Bridgestone Alenza (235/55-18)
Results at 120 km/h (75 mph); up 33% compared to 90 km/h:
- range of 271 km (168 miles); down 31%
- energy consumption of 238 Wh/km (383 Wh/mile); up 43%
- used battery capacity: 64.4 kWh (estimated)
- temperature of 11°C
- 18″ Bridgestone Alenza (235/55-18)
