On the 2023-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE Electric, eQE owners report OTA software updates failing mid-installation, leaving the infotainment system in a degraded state or boot loop. The issue appears related to connectivity interruptions during the download phase and inadequate rollback mechanisms in the MBUX software.

This issue also affects: Audi Q8 e-tron, Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro

Common Symptoms

MBUX screen stuck on boot logo
Update progress bar frozen
Loss of navigation and media after update
Repeated update failure notifications

How to Fix

Ensure the vehicle is connected to a strong Wi-Fi network and parked with the high-voltage battery above 50% before initiating updates. If an update fails, a dealer visit is required to reflash the MBUX head unit via XENTRY. Mercedes has improved update reliability in recent firmware versions.

TipNever start an OTA update on cellular — always use home Wi-Fi. Keep the car plugged in during updates. If it fails, a hard reboot (hold power button 10s) sometimes recovers the system before you need a dealer visit.

On the 2023-2025 Mercedes-Benz EQE Electric, eQE owners experience significantly inconsistent DC fast charging speeds, with the car sometimes limiting to 50-80 kW even on 150+ kW capable chargers. The battery thermal management system is overly conservative, throttling charge rates based on recent driving history and ambient temperature.

This issue also affects: Audi Q8 e-tron, Hyundai Kona, Kia Niro

Common Symptoms

Charging speed well below rated maximum
Charge rate drops rapidly after initial peak
Battery temperature warning during charging
Longer-than-expected charging sessions

How to Fix

Use the "Route" function in MBUX navigation to pre-condition the battery before arriving at a DC fast charger. Avoid back-to-back fast charging sessions. A software update improves the battery thermal preconditioning algorithm — ensure the latest firmware is installed.

Parts and tips from 580+ owners who fixed this issue

TipAlways route to your charger through MBUX navigation — the car will precondition the battery en route. This alone can double your peak charge rate. Charging cold after a short drive will always be slow.
