Range, battery, charging and efficiency
Range and energy-use figures are either not shared by both cars or not directly comparable across these powertrain types.
Dimensions, cargo space and towing
2025 Subaru Forester e-Boxer provides the larger quoted cargo volume: 508 litres versus 340 litres, a difference of 168 litres. 2025 Subaru Forester e-Boxer carries the higher towing rating at 1,500 kg, while 2026 Mercedes-Benz EQA 250+ is listed at 750 kg. 2025 Subaru Forester e-Boxer is 192 mm longer overall.
