This model is a Mercedes-Benz EQA in a  Denim Blue decoration.

It is another model in the NZG 1:18 scale programme.

Packaging

The model comes in an NZG branded outer box, and inside the model is contained within expanded polystyrene trays.

The review model had no defects or missing parts. 

A screwdriver is included for removing the model from the base.

Detail

This is an electric car so the floor pan is fairly simple and this is reflected in the model.

The wheels are excellent, and the disc brakes are visible behind the spokes.  Nice tyres are fitted.

At the front the Mercedes-Benz emblem and badges are modelled faithfully, and the headlights look realistic.  There is a dummy NZG number plate.

Inside, the detail is excellent and includes a detailed steering wheel, console and door interior. 

The paint finish is excellent and the roof has plastic luggage racks and clear sun roof panels.

At the rear the lights are high quality and the overall appearance is very good.

Features

The steering works to a moderate angle.

The front doors open to a wide angle.

Quality

The quality is well up to NZG's usual standards with a high metal content.

The paintwork and graphics are excellent.

Price

The model is reasonable value.

Overall

This is a very nice model of the Mercedes-Benz EQA.  Although the functionality is limited compared to other car models in order to meet Mercedes-Benz budget requirements, it looks great.  It goes well on NZG's Lohr transporter model.
