New Night Edition variants of Mercedes-Benz EQA and EQB electric SUVs add extra styling features for no additional cost to the base models.

Following a mid-life update last year that added a larger battery to both the EQA and EQB electric SUVs, Mercedes-Benz has now announced two new Night Edition variants.

Adding more standard equipment for no extra cost compared with the base models, the Night Editions are priced from $85,800 for the EQA and $90,000 for the EQB (both plus on-road costs). Both models fall shy of the Luxury Car Tax (LCT) threshold, importantly making them exempt from Fringe Benefits Tax (FBT).

Mercedes-Benz Australia said both models will be available in “strictly limited” numbers.

The Night Editions are based on the 250+ variants of the EQA and EQB, which both use a single electric motor making 140kW of power and 385Nm of torque. They both use a 70.5kWh battery, which allows for a claimed 578km range for the EQA 250+ and 564km for the EQB 250+ (both on the NEDC cycle).

As the name suggests, the Night Editions of both the EQA and EQB add a number of gloss black pieces, including 20-inch multi-spoke alloy wheels; front and rear aprons; mirror housings; beltline and window-line strip and roof rails.
