Mercedes-Benz is taking on one of the most complex industry challenges with the rollout of its battery-powered EQA: selling small electric cars without a big profit squeeze.
The brand's first fully electric compact model will hit European showrooms in the second quarter of this year, flanking the mid-size EQC sports-utility vehicle and the EQV van, the Daimler unit said on Wednesday. Prices in Germany start at 47,541 euros ($74,300) and the vehicle offers 486 kilometres of range.
