THE new Mercedes in town might be its smallest battery-powered car, but it signals a huge change for the brand, as it prepares to go all-electric here in just nine years from now.

Mercedes-Benz Singapore launched the EQA 250 on Thursday, with prices starting at S$222,888 with Certificate of Entitlement for the compact crossover.

The EQA is the second model by the all-electric Mercedes-EQ label.

It joins the larger EQC, which debuted in June.

Three more cars from Mercedes-EQ are set for launch here next year as parent company Daimler picks up the pace on its plans to decarbonise.
