Mercedes has decided to sprinkle a little more stardust on its compact electric darlings, the EQA and EQB. What can you expect? Well, let’s just say, if cars could go to a spa for a facelift, these two just got the royal treatment.

First off, the front. We’re getting a new black panel surface flaunting a star pattern. Linked by a light band, the headlights now wear daytime running lights like the latest fashion accessory. And just in case that doesn’t grab your attention, they’ve beefed up the bumper. Apparently, broader is better. The rear hasn’t been ignored either. Changes to the taillights mean they’ve ditched last season’s look.

Inside, it’s a whole new world. The upgraded steering wheel boasts touch control panels, and if you fancy a sprinkle of luxury, how about trim in brown lime open-pore wood? Oh, and there’s a backlit Mercedes-Benz pattern, because subtlety is, you know, overrated.

Beyond the visuals these compact beauties offer up to four Sound Experiences in partnership with the Burmester surround sound system. And if you’ve been itching for a concert-like experience in your car, Dolby Atmos is here to make your musical dreams come true.

Mercedes knows that by tweaking aerodynamics and through tire optimization, you could push an electric car’s range. The EQA now glides up to a whopping 560 km. But if that’s not enough to impress your eco-friendly neighbor, the car can also limit functions like air conditioning to maximize the range

MBUX, Mercedes’ digital cockpit system, hasn’t been left out of this makeover. Now part of the standard equipment, the presentation boasts enhanced charging features and an intelligent voice assistant that’s apparently been to school and is now even better at dialogue and learning.

Both the EQA and EQB got their first refresh, It’s not a midlife upgrade but it is a decent refresh. It brings all the latest tech, updates the look, and gives the Mercedes a good excuse to bump up the prices.
