Mercedes EQB sales plummeted 36% last year in the United States to a mere 8,885 units. That meant it was even less popular than the EQE lineup, which generated 11,660 sales.

Given this and the fact that Mercedes is working on a redesigned GLB, it probably shouldn’t be too surprising that the EQB is dead. Speaking with InsideEVs, a Mercedes spokesperson confirmed, “The EQB has reached the end of its planned lifecycle and therefore will not be offered in the U.S. or Canada after model year 2025.”

While the brand’s entry-level EV is now dead, they added that the company “remains fully committed to electrification and the largest product offensive in the history of the brand is just around the corner. As announced at IAA Mobility 2023, Mercedes-Benz will also introduce two SUVs based on this new architecture.”

This is a not so subtle hint about the next-generation GLA and GLB, which have already been spied undergoing testing. They’ll borrow heavily from the new CLA, which is scheduled to arrive in the United States later this year.

They can’t get here soon enough as the outgoing EQB 250+ started at $53,050 and featured a front-mounted motor developing 188 hp (140 kW / 191 PS) and 284 lb-ft (385 Nm) of torque. It was paired with a 70.5 kWh battery pack, which delivered 250 miles (402 km) of range.

The $57,200 EQB 300 4MATIC upped the ante with a dual-motor all-wheel drive system producing a combined output of 225 hp (168 kW / 228 PS) and 288 lb-ft (390 Nm) of torque. However, it caused the range to drop to a disappointing 205 miles (330 km).

Customers could also opt for an EQB 350 4MATIC, which had an even more powerful all-wheel drive system with 288 hp (215 kW / 292 PS) and 383 lb-ft (519 Nm) of torque. Despite being more powerful, this variant had a slightly better range of 206 miles (332 km).
