The 2024 Mercedes EQB electric SUV debuted with a black grille surface that replaced horizontal chrome lines with numerous MB stars. These stars are in addition to the main one forming the brand emblem. However, if you look from far away, the small three-pointed stars appear as dots.
This pattern is only standard in Electric Art and AMG Line and with the Night Package. Additionally, there is a revised front bumper, slight changes in the taillight design, and various updates in the cockpit. The noticeable ones are the new steering wheel with touch controls and the latest generation of the German company's MBUX infotainment system.
