According to Au7o's analysis of 2,120+ owner reports, the 2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB has 3 documented known issues. No issues are rated critical, indicating generally reliable ownership. The most commonly reported issue is Real-World Range Significantly Below EPA Rating with 890 owner reports. DIY maintenance guides at au7o.io.
On the 2022-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB Electric, eQB owners consistently report real-world range 20-30% below the EPA-rated 243 miles, even in moderate weather. The boxy shape and higher weight of the three-row layout contribute to worse aerodynamic efficiency than the sedan-based EQ models, and highway range drops particularly steeply.
Range estimate consistently 20-30% below EPA rating
Rapid range drop on highway
Energy consumption above 3.5 mi/kWh difficult to achieve
Range anxiety on longer trips
How to Fix
Maximize range by using Eco drive mode, limiting climate control use, and maintaining tire pressures at 42 PSI. Ensure the latest software update is installed, as Mercedes has released efficiency improvements. For highway driving, keep speeds below 70 mph to avoid steep aerodynamic losses.
Owner tips & cautions
TipPlan for 180-200 real miles, not the EPA 243. Keep highway speed at 65 mph or under and use Eco mode. The EQB is best suited as a commuter/suburban vehicle, not a highway cruiser.

On the 2022-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB Electric, the MBUX infotainment system in the EQB suffers from frequent lag, unresponsive touchscreen inputs, and occasional full system crashes requiring a reboot. The issue is worse after extended use and when multiple connected services are active simultaneously.
Perform a soft reboot by holding the power and volume buttons simultaneously for 10 seconds. Install all available OTA updates as Mercedes has released multiple stability fixes. Reduce the number of active connected services and disable unused features to reduce system load.
Owner tips & cautions
TipKeep MBUX updated — each OTA release improves stability. If the system gets sluggish, a quick reboot (hold power + volume 10 seconds) clears it up. Disable Mercedes me connect features you do not use.

On the 2022-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQB Electric, the EQB exhibits inconsistent brake pedal feel as the system blends regenerative and friction braking. At low speeds and low battery state of charge, the transition between regen and friction braking creates a noticeable "dead zone" or sudden grab in the pedal, making smooth stops difficult.
A software update from Mercedes recalibrates the brake blending algorithm for smoother transitions. Ensure the latest OTA update is installed. Drivers can also use the steering wheel paddles to control regen intensity manually, bypassing the blended braking issue.
Owner tips & cautions
TipUse the paddle shifters to set regen to D- or D-- for more predictable deceleration. The auto-regen mode (D Auto) is where most of the inconsistent pedal feel occurs.
