Mercedes-Benz EQA vs Toyota bZ4X

Side-by-Side Specs

Charging Speed

The Toyota bZ4X has the higher published DC charging figure at 150 kW, which is roughly 47% higher than the Mercedes-Benz EQA at 102 kW. In practice, that figure only tells part of the story. The charging curve, battery temperature, and state of charge all affect how quickly your car actually charges.

For the published fast-charge window, the Toyota bZ4X is listed at about 29 minutes, which is 6 minutes quicker than the Mercedes-Benz EQA at 35 minutes. On a road trip, that difference adds up over multiple stops.

Range and Efficiency

The Mercedes-Benz EQA has a WLTP rated range of approximately 560 km, which is roughly 32 km more than the Toyota bZ4X at approximately 528 km. WLTP is a standardized lab test. Expect your actual range to be lower, varying with speed, weather, terrain, and driving style.

Efficiency matters more than battery size for daily driving costs. The Toyota bZ4X consumes 153 Wh/km, compared to 168 Wh/km for the Mercedes-Benz EQA. That means the Toyota bZ4X uses less energy per kilometer, which translates to lower charging costs and fewer charging stops on longer drives.

A more efficient car does not always mean more range. Battery size plays a role too. The Mercedes-Benz EQA has approximately 70.5 kWh of useable battery , while the Toyota bZ4X has approximately 71 kWh.

Which One Should You Choose?

If fast charging is your priority, the Toyota bZ4X has the higher published DC figure (up to 150 kW) and the shorter published charge time at approximately 29 minutes. For long road trips, published stop time matters more than the headline kW number alone.

Both cars support 11 kW AC charging, so home and workplace charging speeds will be similar.

If you mostly charge at home or at work and care more about daily driving costs, the Toyota bZ4X is the more efficient choice at 153 Wh/km. Lower consumption means lower electricity bills over time.

For maximum range between charges, the Mercedes-Benz EQA has a WLTP rated range of approximately 560 km, which is roughly 32 km more. Both are capable EVs. The best choice depends on how you charge and how far you drive.
