Cheap at my SS provider at the moment where it is available on a 120:1 lease ratio (monthly lease to p11d).
It is big, can hold 7 people and has a panoramic sun roof. Keen to hear what others have to say about it.
Saw these when the wife was looking the EQA sister car recently.It is big, can hold 7 people and has a panoramic sun roof. Keen to hear what others have to say about it.
Can you check it is the facelift model, new grill and other bits which look very different.
We liked the EQA right up until we found us you have to get Premium Plus pack to get electric seats, which costs ££££ and you then have to have black wheels and door/ window trims.
Drives very nice as EQA, very refined and feels well made.
I got mine on a cheap SS deal (under £400) 3 months ago.
Good - It’s a nice size, not too big but comfortable, very quick for what it is and pleasant to drive.
2.5 to 3 miles per kWh which is ok for the size and time of year.
Rear camera behind the badge so hidden from grime.
Bad - Rubbish spec on the AMG line for a supposed £60k car (keyless entry, 360 camera, heated steering wheel and electric seats would be nice but they’re Premium spec)
I don’t like all the wiper/lights/indicators being on one stalk. I’d prefer a separate gear selector to free up the right stalk.
I find some elements of the menu system annoying like not having a button/shortcut for changing radio station (perhaps there is but it’s not obvious)
The interior in generally quite nice but I find the vents/lighting a bit fussy, look like a nightclub in the dark.

EQBs are one of the best deals available on our SS scheme (although that isn’t saying much as Arval prices seem to be crap.) but I’m sure we’re at about £660 gross for a premium plus.
Genuinely tempted to chop in the e-tron early as the monthly savings would more than offset the early cancellation fee, and these have 7 seats which means I can finally get rid of the Caravelle.

660 gross? or net?
Tusker is 641 on 2 years, 5000 miles
Gross, I assume. Mine will be 3 years 15000 miles (no option to change this)Tusker is 641 on 2 years, 5000 miles
The Arval portal is very unclear with this. It shows me a ‘trade up’ price because I get a car allowance.
I’ll double check when I’m next at the computer
