How we would configurate this vehicle:

• Model: Mercedes-Benz EQB 350 4MATIC
  All Mercedes-Benz EQB cars have the same exterieur design as basic, so we would choose the strongest "engine". 
  
  
• Styles: There are three styles for the Mercedes-Benz EQB. It all starts with the Progressive style with cloth seats and already a high premium basic in exterieur and interieur. The Electric Art is the next style to choose and have leather seats, illuminated entrance panels and a higher basic in exterieur and interieur. The best style in our opinion is the AMG Line which is recognizable with the two horizontal lines in the grille and the typical AMG Line front and rear spoiler. The AMG Line is also the most ordered style at the Mercedes-Benz EQB
   
• Wheels: Normally the Mercedes-Benz EQB comes with 18 inch wheels, also with the AMG Line. Standard wheels on AMG Line are the (internal code: RQQ) Wheels with 235/55 R 18 black high finished 5-spoke-design. You also can choose the 19 inch (internal code: RTF) with 235/50 R 19 in black high finished 5-double-spoke-design. The highest option are the (internal code: RVU) 20 inch wheels in a multi-spoke-design with 235/45 R 20. We would choose this highest option
   
• Color: There are so many possible color options, but we like the kosmosblack (internal code: 191) most and would choose that.
   
• Exterieur Addons: The additional extras we would choose are the panorma sunroof (internal code: 413), a aluminium polished roof rails (internal code: 725) and the Advanced-Plus-Package (internal code: PDB) which includes THERMOTRONIC luxury automatic climate control system, Advanced Soundsystem, Keyless-Go and Wireless Charging for Smartphones in the front
   
• Interieur: We love Alcantara seats, so we would choose the seat option for the man-made leather ARTICO / Microfiber MIKROCUT black (internal code: 651) and the sport seats (internal code: 7U4) as well as the black interieur headlining (internal code: 51U). The decorative elements we would choose are held in black open pore linde variant (internal code: H15) and we will choose the multi-function sport steering wheel in Leather Nappa (internal code: H15) in the color combination black and silver.
