Range 271–324 mi
Boot 495 l What reviewers say Reviewers agree the EQB's seven seats and flexible cabin make it a genuinely practical electric family car, and that it is quiet and refined. The common criticisms are its price, a cramped third row and a small boot with all seats up; Autocar and Parkers found the ride comfortable but What Car? thought it firm, and Autocar found its range trails rivals.
