The 2022 Tesla Model Y is one of the best electric SUV options on the market. But the segment is growing fast. One of the newer competitors in the segment is the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB, which offers some things the Model Y doesn’t have. That said, there are three advantages that the 2022 Tesla Model Y has over the 2022 Mercedes-Benz EQB.
The areas where the 2022 Tesla Model Y is tied with the EQB
According to J.D. Power, the two electric SUVs are tied when it comes to their comfort and utility. On the inside, both SUVs are relatively different, as the Model Y has a minimalistic design that’s common in all Teslas. In comparison, the EQB has an upscale cabin typical of a Mercedes. In fact, the EQB’s cabin is almost identical to the the GLB.
Both cabins are nice and spacious, so it comes down to their interior design and what owners want from a car’s interior design. In terms of utility, both are evenly matched, though Tesla has a slight advantage. Both SUVs can have three rows of seats, and while they have similar cargo capacities, the Model Y has slightly more.
The EQB has 62 cu-ft of cargo capacity with its seats folded down, while the Model Y has a maximum of 72.1 cu-ft. That said, the Model Y only gets 72.1 cu-ft in its five-seat configuration. With seven seats, the Model Y maxes out at 67.9 cu-ft of cargo capacity.
