Mercedes-Benz South Africa has expanded its portfolio of electric vehicles (EVs) with the introduction of the EQV. Exclusively available in EQV 300 guise, the emissions-free people-mover is equipped with a single electric motor, fed by a 90 kWh battery pack, which the Stuttgart automaker says is good for an operating range of up to 363 km on a full charge.

The EQV 300 produces 150 kW and 365 N.m of torque, delivered to the road via the front wheels. According to the firm, the 2 748 kg (claimed) battery-powered bus completes the 0-100 km/h sprint in 12.1 seconds, with the top speed rated at 158 km/h.

Thanks to the folks at duoporta, we can confirm that the EQV 300 is priced from R2.3 million, making it slightly less expensive (by R1 578) than its V300d sibling, which we sampled at the local launch in November 2024. Included in the asking price is a five year/100 000 km warranty, with a maintenance plan spanning the same duration and distance available at additional cost.

As a reminder, the V300d’s 2.0-litre, four-cylinder turbodiesel powertrain churns out 174 kW and 500 N.m, exclusively sent to the rear axle via a nine-speed automatic transmission. Tipping the scales at a claimed 2 145 kg (639 kg less than the EQV 300), the V300d sprints to the three-figure marker from a standstill in 7.8 seconds (claimed), before topping out at 220 km/h. With a claimed average fuel consumption of 7.0 L/100 km, the diesel-powered V-Class offers a claimed driving range of 1 000 km from a full 70-litre tank of fuel.
