The Mercedes EQA’s biggest strength is undoubtedly its long range, but overall a firm ride and lofty pricing let it down. Newer rivals, including the Genesis GV60, Kia EV6 and Smart #1, are much better all-rounders. To make the most of the EQA’s range, we recommend going for the front-wheel-drive 250+ version.

It’s not such a big jump in price to AMG Line Executive trim from the entry-level trim, but the only real benefit is that you get some slightly sportier styling inside and out. AMG Line Premium adds 20in alloy wheels, wireless phone-charging and a 360-degree parking camera, while AMG Line Premium Plus adds a panoramic glass sunroof, electrically adjustable front seats, a Burmester sound system and a head-up display. Despite these two trims offering some fine luxuries, they do push the price up significantly.

The 250+ model gets a 70.5kWh battery and a 188bhp electric motor. 0-62mph takes 8.6sec, so there are plenty of quicker electric cars, but the official WLTP range of 345 miles officially (depending on the trim level) is very impressive. This is the most recommendable version.
