2016 Mercedes-Benz E-Class Review (MY 2017 E-Class)
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- The all-new 10th generation Mercedes-Benz E-Class has arrived and brings not only a sharp new look and range of efficient engines, but a staggering array of technology that may cement the new Mercedes as the most advanced passenger car on the road.
We drive the E300 - a 2-litre turbocharged petrol engine with 180kW and 370Nm. It isn't the most powerful engine in the range but it pulls well and handles urban and highway cruising duties well.
All models in the new E-Class line up receive the 9G-Tronic 9-speed automatic transmission.
The new E-Class features a wide -screen high-resolution digital dashboard which can be controlled by thumb pads on the steering wheel. The car has a semi-autonomous driving mode and a host of accident avoidance awareness technology.
The new 2016 E-Class will land in Australia in mid-2016 and we can't wait to get a closer look at the new Mercedes on local soil.

For someone driving a C220d, which by my standard has adequate power, saying that 245 hp is enough to haul you around town seems like a bit of an understatement. 6 secs to 100 km/h is more than "fast enough" in my book!
i might change from bmw...i am tired of that hard stressful crap, i need something comfortable and relaxing,,,
Why do you keep calling it an 'A' class??
+JC Cole - Because Australia.
haha I heard 'A class' every time as well
+CarAdvice.com.au you mean Eustrelie
I heard A Class too,
may be its Auszieee accent, all of them said power "pawerr"
This car and Volvo S90 is really good.
nice review.. I like the interior very much but the exterior is just terrible.. :/ I think the 2014 Facelift model has the best exterior..
+Height Zyzz Why not get benz to customize and make you a new special car with 2014 exterior and 2016 interior?
I don't like the new roundy looks of the mercs like the C and E. I loved the old squarish aggresive looks.
***** Right. But I would take a M4 over the new C63 tho.
100% Agree
+TheMidnightNarwhal I completely agree. The only thing that really impresses me with the new E-Class is the reduced weight. It's a lot lighter, which should improve the handling quite a bit. We have a video done on it. Please help us grow the channel by joining our community.
Absolutely right man
+TheMidnightNarwhal how do u think the new 5 series is going to look like then? can't be much worse than this new e class.
1:43 James closes the boot of the car
1:46 Boot is still open
+Silver :) - Magic!
You missed the bit where I walk to the right side of the car but end up sitting on the left side.
That was also magic.
JW
+CarAdvice.com.au You can always move to the left side if you go in by the right door.
Apart from the car, his eyes are BEAUTIFUL!
Um.... thanks? JW
That's a good car right there
i love this car its the best
The best looking 4 door sedan ever
i own a 2008 E class. this is the natural decendant to that. the current e class from 2010 onwards was way too boxy with a pontoon like design..bad direction... now it feels back in place....
mikesh shah you’re e class was the most beautiful . Front end is just perfect
Luxury cars shouldnt have 4 cylinder engines in my opinion, at least give it 5! Or a smaller capacity 6 cylinder
+dn bn - the E-Class has a couple of 4-cyl (petrol and diesel) and 6-cyl (petrol and diesel) options from launch. The hybrid and V8 AMG will follow too.
Mercedes is now basing every car off the s class but changing sizes ..C,E,S all look the same
small medium large extra large. comes in all sizes.
I don't like it. They're also becoming too feminine. Older Mercs were sophisticated in style, but they had presence. This new generation looks too unassertive.
EvilBonesMan_666 I guess things change.
jjrimz99 The 2015 model looked more aggressive.
I love your reviews. Thorough and scrutinising
+CarAdvice.com.au beautiful scenery! about the car, if it were the C class it would be probably okay but the E class must have enough room in the back seat, at the back it should be more S class-like.
+Macavellic - Cheers. Was all shot in and around Lisbon in Portugal.
+CarAdvice.com.au I saw you when you were shooting, are you still here in Portugal?
+RelaxingTVP - sadly no, we were only on the ground for about 36-hours. Mercedes-Benz would have been there longer though.
Video car reviews are getting better and better (nothing beats your written reviews :P ). Keep up the good work!
+Simon Vuu - thanks Simon
Really very informative review thanks :)
easy car to drive, that is all you need in a car.
Its ugly like all new mercedes models nowadays
He is 6' 3'', and the front seat is in his driwing position, so that's two guys, measuring 6' 3'' in height, sitting one behind another... And he still has a little bit of legroom back there... That's pretty impresive.
driving a 2012 c250 cgi.love it to bits.i never buy new.got mine in 2015 and it had only got 38,000 miles.believe me it was still like a new car.by the way got the avangard.i love the new look on this e class.love yor review.seems to me in about 2018 this will be my replacement. it looks gorgeous.what i wonder would be the best petrol economy engine,or will the new diesels be less noisy?
Excellent review! This 10th generation E-Class is definitely a big upgrade from its previous model, obviously the 2.0 turbo petrol engine is a bit gutless to pull such a heavy car.
6 seconds to 100km/h? seems to work alright
0-60 in 5.8 in the 350 is a good speed they have faster models as well. e550 and e63 amg and i believe they will have an e43 amg as well
Down sides....2.0 litre 4 cylinder engine. no room for people sitting in the back. Wish they put a v6 in it.
fantastic review CA...speed signs on trucks clever point. Has there been any rattles or sqeaks on any of these new Mercedes-Benz like the A class so far?
'Highest technology'? The Lexus ls 430 had this stuff - and more - in 2001. (Except the silly cabin colour lighting, which nobody will use after the first week of buyer euphoria.)
+Kamadev888 The 2001 LS had configurable dual screens, could change lanes by itself, adaptive LED headlamps, accident-hearing damage protection, change its speed based on speed signs and a 9 speed gearbox? Wow.
no... but do you want a car that changes lanes by itself? Or do you want a car that is top luxury and top quality, that will last decades and over a million miles? The lexus is QUALITY; the merc is not. While the mercs that had all-electric windows were few and far between until 2002, the LS 2001 had heated seats, massage seats, all electric windows, electronic seats, navigation, rotating air blow vents, rising chassis, sport suspension...
Kamadev888 I want the Merc.
You can have it. Their marketing has done its job.
Not the best looking car. Autonomous driving on cruise control works really well if you ever get out of traffic jams in Melbourne.
Good review. Very good speaker and reviewer. Good car, good driver, good information. Just as it should be a car review
260hp = adequate for going round town?
Lack of toe room for the rear occupants seems to be a common problem these days - I'm looking around for an alternative to the Holden Caprice, and have noticed this problem with the Infiniti Q70 and the Lexus ES. On the other hand, the Hyundai Genesis and the new Skoda Superb do not have this problem.
+Greg Sullivan P.S The Caprice completely blows all this mid-sized rubbish out of the water.
Are you really 6ft3in (barefoot)? You look more in the 6ft / 6ft1in region... Well, if you are then the new E Class is a lot more spacious than the previous generation!
+João Soares - I am 193 cm tall. 6-foot, 3-inches. JW
Literally just a bigger C class. Mercedes is basically making the same car in different sizes
I'd rather get this
Yea theyre following the trend that's long existed in BMW and Audi
Why do they call it E300 when it only has a ridiculous 4 cylinder engine? It should be called the E200, which is what it actually is.
Back lights are ugly!
For a taxi driver which model is better e class E220d diesel or E300 hybrid ?
Sorry Mercedes. Fire your designers. Time to move on from that chunky and inharmonic chassis style. Too much going on at the same time, it just doesn't work. Guess the people at Audi and BMW can relax comfortably. Nothing to fear here.
Mercedes is moving backwards in terms of exterior design. The rear looks just like a CL coupe from 2008. Nice review regardless.
this is my dream car I love this car ,my goal is to have this car for Christmas or the new year 2017 i think I'll take this for my new year ....
Did you get it?
I did not realize Australia uses imperial for human height
+R0Y4L KN1GHT - that, wheels and Subway sandwiches are the last remaining champions of imperial measurement in Aus.
As a W124 driver, I'm rather curious of this new W213. I understand it is inevitable to incorporate more and more technologies into a car, but it simply overwhelming & overcomplicated. Also in many cases unnecessary. & I'm Gen Y. At this rate in the near future you can pretty much forget about working on your own car. Personally I much prefer simple, well & over engineered vehicle.
+yellow6ird - as a Mercedes driver, you will feel immediately at home. Yes there is a huge amount of new tech, but it all feels like very familiar 'Benz'. Car is in Aus in mid 2016 - go and take a look when they arrive. JW
+CarAdvice.com.au Will do so when the couple version arrive. Which's gonna be awhile. Thanks for replying. Keep up the great jobs you guys are doing.
its a great looking car, the tech aspect is awesome. i can't help but yearn for a real key, real gauges, a manual gearbox and NA engine though.
+John Snow (Ivanflo) buy an old used one if that's what you're after
I like the lack of key but yeah screens suck
hi, great review.
one question, can all or most features be activated by voice command? I find that approach to be the safest and fastest method to operating anything that requires you to take your eyes off the road even for a split second!
+True Leadership - yes there is an option of voice control for the majority of the Mercedes systems.
Look the car at 0.31 - I'll give you 5 bucks if you can find 10 differences between brand new E-class and the current C-class generation launched in 2014... can you?
And speaking for advanced car... soon the unnecessary thing in cars will be the driver - then what is the point of having a car go and use bloody public transport!
Grille, Bumper, Emblem, Lights, and Hood. Proportions and design are slightly different, most noticable is the bumper and lights, and you have a valid point, but public transport isn't readily available everywhere. (example: rural areas and some suburban areas) and I don't think heads of states and most executives would take public transportation. (Example: The President of the United States) So, eventually your notion will be plausible I believe but not for a while.
Harsimran Bhatti Apart of the slighter longer body the proportions are the same. Grill bumper etcetera - I wouldn't call it different it is just a variation of the same product - small and insignificant.
The people you mentioned are chauffeured and it is pretty much same story you are not behind the wheel.
Elan Musk said that in near future it will be illegal to drive your car - sorry I don't want such future!
Probably the next that the future going to prohibit is to make sex with my girlfriend because there are robots for the job. At the end thinking will be unwanted and prohibited by law.
If this is the future that people want please give me a favour and shoot me in my head before the governments did it for violations of this laws!!!
***** The key point is "Audi WAS" yes and now Audi is trying to change it and probably in next few year they will.
Merc on the other hand didn't have such brutal similarity until release the last few models.
Yes there should have some family and brand recognition, yes there should have some reasonable saving because economy and profit... but it is too brutal now! It is too identical!
Look over the entire brand list only the size is different. No thanks I might change my nickname because I really start hate this mass-production! May be should change it to Kia fen because they have more design ideas in their cars... and not offer antonymous driving shit, yet!
***** There is a point in what you said, but the image of the brand based mostly on the fens. If you lose fens no matter if it is because bad quality or design you loose market because fens are those who convince other people to buy this brand. When you buying stuff you ask friends, families and special groups. And if someone ask me is it good, should I buy it my answer will be safe your money take the C-class - and Merc loose money because the profit from the bigger models is bigger, OR I will say wait a little bit and first try the new Audi A6.
It is not that easy.
Man so you're worried that people mistake your e class with the c class? Make sure that when you buy a car you care more about how it drives and the technology and safety features it offers rather than just the look alone, especially if it's the same brand name
you need some ear things ,sounds like your about half DEAF .jjm in Montgomery Alabama Sent
So some clown could theoretically make a sign that reads the equiv of 150km/h and the MB would notice this and increase the speed accordingly? This car is a pranksters dream.
+pabzy2 faking road signs doesnt sound like its legal at all
+pabzy2 - not quite. You need to be on cruise control using the drive pilot system. The system drops speed automatically but won't increase it past your maximum.
haha nice bullshit talking salestalkman, why don't they talk about d simpliest maintenance about this particular car?
Brb buying an A-class after this review.
why ?
+Dex Won cuz he can't afford an e-class.
You clearly did not get the joke, his accent sounds like he's saying A class not E. Dumbfuck, I already drive a CLS 63 AMG
Which year? I have CLS 63 2016 AMG too
+Rhyme905 Oh because I'm Australian and it didn't sound like he said a class to me but did you finance or buy with cash and what year.
When you configure it the only interior option is black. Wtf.
How about comparing it to Volvo S90? I am hesitating between these two.
+BokiXI - when both cars are available locally in Australia, we'll do just that!
11.9 litres for a i4? my 10+ year old V8 lexus sc430 does that much.
Sorry to be persnickety - I find your language too verbose, and you use superlatives and adverbs like 'very' and 'extremely' too much. It diminishes the impact of your words. I also find it annoying. Also, how do you 'see' wind noise, and not everything is obvious to me - you keep saying 'obviously, x' a lot. Annoying. But not your fault, Australians don't speak very well, myself included.
+Andre Brokman what a silly comment to make. An excellent review and a superb car.
Chinese version of 2016 E Class is so different from this version!! Even the shape of back doors are totally different!!
China gets a LWB version - exclusive to that market.
Thanks! But do you know why?
I will buy like this car soon inshalha
Halim Halimi in Shaa Allah brother
Brown noise? I read "pink noise" on mbusa
Very good review, I like this presenter!
I went from a BMW 3 series to a 2017 E300. The 3 series drove and handled better. My E300 was peppered with problems. Had to bring it in the shop over 25 times in the first few months. Ridiculous! I bought a car do drive, not to bring it into the shop twice a week for several months! They put me in another E300 (this time a package with heads up display and massaging seats, etc.). First few months, in the shop over 6 times, and Mercedes initially refused to fix the creaking in my door when it went over bumpy roads because they could not duplicate it! Then they were able to duplicate it but wouldn't fix it because it wasn't "continuous" enough! Screw Mercedes! What a POS product they produce! I took a huge loss on the trade in for a BMW. It's night and day! The BMW drives and handles great and has no rattles. It nearly glides everywhere I go. But I paid the price to experience how bad Mercedes is! I will NEVER buy a Mercedes again!
Good video! Would've liked to see a forward camera view of the auto lane change
+Brian Mok - totally agree Brian. We had a few technical glitches while filming and only a short window of time. When the car arrives in Australia we will produce more detailed content to demonstrate these driving systems.
great review ... like and sub !
I want the automakers to supply an app that allows the user to tailor the instrument cluster. For instance, the progressive mode with a combination nav and a rev counter with a digital speedometer annoys the hell out me. I don't need a rev counter in an automatic car and I hate digital speedometers. All I need is a needle gauge for speed and the nav insert. It would be simple to allow the owner to design his own gauge cluster.
I am so picky about this that I will walk away from a vehicle with digital a speedometer and if Mercedes offers a usable screen with a small nav insert, that I can only get in combination with a digital speedometer, I will have to take my money elsewhere.
The car industry seems the be behind the curve when it comes to user tech. The car is full of tech, but it is like the automakers don't realise the potential of that technology and how easy it is to adapt to preferences. Look at the desktop of any pc user. They are wildly different. Which icon or tiles and how they are arranged varies greatly from user to user.
At least open the source code to third party vendors and makes different designs and clusters downloadable from a Mercedes app store. Basic skin design.
So you would say that the new 2017 BMW i435 is much better in the steer wheel than this new e class Mercedes ?? Referring to what you said on your video while talking about the steering wheel though.
It is a problem.with the Booth , 2 person with the same car same problem .
Mercedes has made a giant leap in recent years. Design and technology are absolutely top. Mercedes came to me never in question but now. Criticism of the Designing - looks like its predecessor, or like a small S-class I can not understand really. I just want a Mercedes, which also looks like one and that as good as possible.
that care is beautiful. Yes, I think i looks to similiar to the c and S classe... but that doesn't mean that it is an ugly car. frankly, ths Mercerdies ( as all Mercedes) will still look good 5 years from now..
I hadn't seen this reviewer before yet this dude is very good. The only suggestion I would make is to cover some of the everyday aspects of the car such as internal storage, visibility out of the cabin (very important in these days of severely sloping rooflines) and the cars sound system.
+Orientalmuffin - Thanks for the feedback. This was only a quick first look at the car and we will absolutely go through the E-Class in full detail when we get Australian spec cars on local soil.
Fair call - thanks for the reply and well done with the review
+Orientalmuffin - thank you and thank you for watching!
this is going to be mostly taxis. who cares about these gimmicks?
Does the new E-class models come standard with fog lights? From viewing every model; I see nothing but a black plastic cover at the Bottom.
Kill the background music
great review, luv it.
I dont like the version with the big star in the front and would prefer the classic style with the emblem on the bonnet. But fortunately you can choose between the designs styles at the order.
is it me or this representer just woke up 5 minutes before shooting this upload. lol 😁
+No Way - Haha, yes. It was the last day of a long trip and sleep had been at a minimum. Thanks for caring though - JW
+CarAdvice.com.au all good mate. no hard feelings.
btw, great review. 👍
Looks are allready dated cause off the c and s. Plus the old one with the sharp double headlights looked better and still looks modern now
+Jeffrey Gryson - Looks better in the metal
One day........ :)
At 6ft3 you will be uncomfortable in all cars
That last bit of advice seems contradicting.
Cool, all I need now is a speed sign with a 200 on it and walk casually by the road XD and some mercedes will accelerate.
How to remote Mercedes Benz E class 2016 with mobile (how to connect)?
Good review, good car, but I would like to see normal analog dials, not that screen.
+Mika Hakinen - in many markets, you can get a 'basic' version of the E-Class with standard instrument display, but all Australian cars get the twin-screens.
A class A class A class A class. That's Eee dude.
+RED1Carbon - trust me, when an Australian says 'A', you'll know about it.
So the current model has a 540L boot? I'm very surprised to hear that. Certainly, that's what the local (Au) specs say, in the brochure. That means it's bigger than the Caprice boot, which is absolutely enormous. I'll have to go and have a look at one. However, I've noticed something a bit suspicious. Checking the North American specs at edmunds.com, the capacity is 15.9 cu ft. I'm not going to *directly* convert this to litres, because it's almost always much smaller than the Australian specification. (presumably due to difference measuring standards) But, what I WILL do is compare it to the Hyundai Genesis, which is listed at 15.3 cu ft. So, using the American specs, the E-class is only 4% larger than a Genesis, and the Genesis is not considered to be a large boot. (at least, not in my circles - I'm a limo driver). Applying a 4% increase to the Australian specification for the Genesis (which is 493L), yields only 512L. I wonder who has the most meaningful boot measuring techniques - the U.S, or Australia?
+Greg Sullivan The plot thickens further. Checking the actual E-Class brochures, the current model is actually spec'd at 12.9 cu ft. I had to go back to the 2014 brochure before I could find a spec that matches Edmunds (15.9 cu ft) I checked the U.S site for the Hyundai Genesis, and it does match Edmunds: 15.3 cu ft. For the time being, I'm going to take the Aussie spec for the E-class with a HUGE grain of salt! (however, even if the E-Class is actually smaller than the Genesis, at least the seats can be folded down. Can't do that with the Genesis) It'll be interesting to see what the 2017 E-Class boot spec is. Note: previous reply heavily edited - I thought the 2016 brochure was for the latest/newest model, but of course it's not.
+Greg Sullivan Did some more Googling - found a post by someone who actually asked Mercedes about the apparent reduction in boot capacity between 2014 and 2015 - they said that there was no reduction - the cars are identical. The difference is the result of using a different measuring standard. It's incredible that a whopping 19% reduction in capacity can result just by changing measuring standard!
+Greg Sullivan Just to highlight the vast discrepancy between the U.S and Australian specs - the current U.S spec is 12.9 cu ft = 365L. The current Aussie spec is 540L. I find that absolutely astonishing. FWIW, this paper looks promising: papers.sae.org/2011-01-0781/ "Quantifying Enclosed Space and Cargo Volume". Quoting: "The customer benefits from a common measuring and reporting system that would readily allow them to more accurately compare the cargo volumes of different manufacturers' vehicles." Of course, that will never happen. ;^)
Great review....what do you think of the new a4 interior? It looks like a spaceship at night .
Well you are 6'3 which is really tall
+0wninguplz - 6-foot is a pretty standard height (slightly above average though) but a good benchmark to use for space.
+Skiballas the Great - Hahaha
lol!!! Yea I agree 6 foot is a pretty standard height however there is a big different between 6 foot and 6'3. especially if you convert into centimeters
its 5'8'' here in the us and lmao at width
omfg, amazed by the level of technology they have nowadays.
I'd rather get a Hyundai Genesis.
+Kapil Sagar Nice that probably fits your budget better.
Ah TH-cam comments. From civil to barbaric in no time at all.
Rhyme905 Accept your unfortunate genitalia and move on.
the genesis competes with the e class but the genesis is An Attempt at competing in the league of its german competitors but it does fall short. The E Class just has higher quality materials used inside the vehicle than the genesis. Not that the genesis is not a beautiful car it's just not in the Same League as the E class. Still a nice vehicle though Rhyme905 if you can I would take a drive in one at a nearby dealership. The 2016 Hyundai Genesis R Spec is quite a nice vehicle. Not like a e550 but its cheaper for the same speed as an e550 and has a nice interior as well.
Boring car for old men. Spartan interior. No emotional spark.
+Deem M Spartan interior? What did you miss?
How much will it cost in Australia
+Mark Song - nothing confirmed yet, but should start around $85k
Nissan maxima is better for the money
ummmm that looks like the 2017
+D- Sean - ummmm it is, but it was released last year
seems like elder bro of c class and younger brother of s class
The other model is better looking
i think u forgot which class are u reviewing......
Well made video, truly practical, keep on the good work
very informative review
+wp carrera - Thanks!
Great review ...
this car is the worst new car ever
Any modern Mercedes owners including myself, knows all of these tech feature will malfunction after few years and will cost fortune to fix it. What modern Mercedes owners really want is more simple cars with less parts to spend money fixing
***** Unfortunately I'm not that dumb....
***** There are plenty of cars in this class that are more reliable than Merc and just better than Genesis
***** Personally I would choose GS450h
+Shitty Bill I don't care how much it cost, you get for what you pay, I have enough money to buy and own E-Class, and my previous car S-Class, therefore I'll buy reliable, stylish, and powerful GS450h for my next car, rather than go for cheaper option, it's not the engine power I want, what I want is the overall balance, the finesse. enough said.
+INUMIMI28 you do realize that the lexus gs sedan has the same tech as the e class right? there's only a few things it doesn't have like the earing protection, automatic steering, and the cruise control reading the signs. otherwise it has most of the same tech the e class has
wtf???? its uglyy
First!
why does title say my 2017 e class????
+Tamer888 - MY = Model Year. In North America this is the MY17 car despite being a 2016-built car.
Charlie puth
Liked the video but should have dressed better
+Jay Nibandhe The whole point of the video is the review of the car, not a fashion show.
