Mercedes EQA and EQB AMG Line at €399/month with no down payment!

Mercedes is going on the offensive in the electric market by drastically reducing prices on its EQA and EQB SUVs to unprecedented levels. Interesting?

Things are moving very quickly in the electric world. However, one constant has emerged over the past few years: Mercedes did not want to engage in a price competition with Tesla. The German company is premium not by stance but by the quality of its materials and has never really considered Tesla as a real threat. Why? Because the materials, particularly the interiors but also some mechanical components and ground connections, have always adopted an “American” commercial approach: cheap, inexpensive (as seen in the pricing), and mass-produced to lower costs. This is the opposite of Mercedes.

One could delve deeper, saying that Mercedes has differentiated itself from BMW, which, since its own inception in the electric space, distinguishes two things: the catalog price and the amount of leasing payments. In this regard, BMW is unbeatable and has clearly demonstrated its relevance, even against Tesla, with vehicles of far better quality and lower long-term leasing costs.

Is Mercedes clearing its stocks?

Another point: Mercedes did not feel ready to take on the challenge of price competition in the electric market. But that has changed with the arrival of the new 100% electric CLA, whose range performance is impressive.

This same CLA will share its platform with future compact SUVs… which will replace the current EQA and EQB 250+ in the sportier AMG Line trim. This is why very attractive offers have just come to light at Mercedes. Thus, until June 30, 2025, the two SUVs with a massive 80 kWh battery are priced from 399 euros per month… and with no down payment.

In detail, the 2000 euros of ecological bonus 2025 that EQA and EQB qualify for (since they’re produced in Germany) reduces the first of the 37 payments from 2399 to 399 euros. Over this duration of 3 years, the total mileage will be generous: 45,000 km, or 15,000 km per year. This is quite rare to note.

As configured, the EQA and EQB offer up to 555 km of range in mixed cycle (720 km in the city) and a power of 190 horsepower. For a final cost of 14,763 euros, which is less than a third of the catalog price, the customer makes a good deal. It’s less than the depreciation over the same period compared to a cash purchase. And in 3 years, the same customer will be able to make a technological leap with a new, even more efficient car… and probably cheaper.

This is the trend of the future. Meanwhile, Tesla and its Model Y are literally outclassed, the American SUV being nearly twice as expensive in leasing offers. The war has begun!
