Mercedes EQA 350 2026 Price in UAE

Sold here as the EQA 250+, despite the 350 in the name — a single-motor compact electric crossover with 295 BHP and a 5-seat cabin lifted from the petrol A-Class family. A 2023 facelift changed the lighting at both ends and tidied the cabin, so the newer cars look noticeably different from the launch model.

How much does the Mercedes EQA 350 cost in the UAE?

AED 280,600, one 2026 specification, no cheaper entry point and nothing above it in the EQA line. That places it against the petrol GLA rather than against other EVs, and the honest way to read the price is as a compact Mercedes with a battery attached — the equipment level is high because there is no lesser trim to protect.

How far does an EQA go, and where do you charge it?

Far enough that the question rarely comes up in daily use: this is a car for commutes and school runs, and an overnight charge on a home or building wall box covers a normal week of both. Public rapid charging exists for longer trips and is worth planning around rather than relying on. In summer, pre-cooling the cabin while still plugged in preserves range you would otherwise spend on air conditioning.

Mercedes EQA 350 or Tesla Model Y?

The EQA is the more refined and better-built car, with a proper dashboard, physical controls where you want them and the material quality the badge implies. The Tesla Model Y counters with more space, more performance and a longer range for similar money. If the car is a second vehicle used mostly in town, the Mercedes is the nicer place to spend that time.

Does the EQA hold its value, and what should you watch for as it ages?

It sits almost exactly on its segment — about 43% of its value after five years and 60% after three, against roughly 44% and 61% for premium EVs here. That is a better result than the electric-car reputation suggests. What matters on a used one is battery health and charging history rather than mileage, so the electrical section of the inspection report is the part to read closely on the individual car.

Confirm you have somewhere to plug in overnight, then price this against the petrol GLA range — that comparison decides it for most buyers. Then hold both against the used Mercedes cars listed now.
