Wait, so you can't open the hood? did i hear that correctly? how do you replace windshield wiper fluids etc?
Please continue to measure the trunk on every car and may I suggest that the cameraman uses some kind o light to better show the interior storage spaces. Ps : been watching your videos for like 7 years constantly 🍻
you should say the pricing, at least in Europe, not so expensive in your opinion is what, 100k or 200k, mercedes is asking for that electrified GLC-EQC 75k i think it is nuts!
Will there be a new EQC?

hashtag capoacativce BS is still the best line in Autogefuhl! Never stop using it!
😁
The naming is confusing as hell. Can’t they just give unique names to all these EV’s? Preferably also without dirtying the AMG brand.
What? Electric e suv. Can't be much more straightforward unlike some other brands
Going to the MB dealership is easy now, just say the size and they give you a car.
nothing is worse than audi’s e-tron brand architecture.
Come on, everyone doing videos on this EQE, but no one bothered to make a video about the Polestar 3 which is arguably much more interesting...
That’s because Polestar didn’t give us any opportunity. I would have loved to cover that
I love the microfiber materials for the interior - I love the feel of it and gives great comfort in both winter and summer.
I wish that all car brands would stop removing physical buttons for the most used features in the car. For example, it's a hazard that you have to look at a screen flipping through menus when you want to reach a setting. It's exactly the same as using a mobile phone in your car. I don't understand how mobiles are forbidden, but car touchscreens - no problem!
👌
any review with the boot loading , like with luggage to see how can u fit , as i have a glc coupe and its terrible to load the bags
like the side profile.
this full glass screen i prefer over the single screen one.
overall would take this over the sedan version.
As for Mercedes' electric naming structure, they should have given the SUVs their own names. As Thomas said, they call it the GLE, not the E-class SUV for a reason. Mercedes have already very well established that the letter "G" refers to their SUVs, they should not have thrown that out the window. They could have had the EQ(insert letter) name for the sedans, and kept the G fo the SUVs, for example, GQE; GQS etc.
Yep!
If you've been around for a while with Mercedes, the G stands for "Geländewagen" which this vehicle, and most all electric "SUVs" certainly are not. Let's see what/if they call the electric G class (concept presented last year)
@@dmjsvandal so you're saying the GLA is a geländewagen? If Mercedes can call their normal crossovers that, why should the EVs be different?
@@yissibiiyte good point. Maybe the decision makers for this one were at the start of their tenure and cared vs the end of their tenure and didn't. Who knows. Doesn't look like Mercedes does.
How this compare to the gle wen we talk about interior space? For a 1.90m and 130kg person? Front seat and back ones.
great review! Could you make a review of Mercedes drive assistance options?
Cheers! We always include that in our driving parts
Are the EQE models coming out as 2023 or 2024 model year models?
Also a small detail the underfloor handle in the boot looks like plastic where in 2012 ML it is chrome metal handle. Downgrading materials? 🤔
Techrich car of the year, thanks for the information 💐🙏
👍🏽👍🏽 Thomas always comes colour matched for his car reviews 🤔 Mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
👌😎
Quelle est la hauteur de la garde au sol ???
Thomas is the only one bold enough o call aspects of a Mercedes “mediocre” I appreciate his actual review vs the majority of the press that are butt kissers.
highly appreciated! Keep following!
Is it a hand built battery pack?
Thanks!
✌️✌️
Good looking. Still waiting for a E Class estate ev. We dont need suvs, we want estates in Sweden and Europe.
How about EGQ-E/S for (SUV's) ?
Much happier with EQS SUV than the sedan, especially the back seat and outward visibility. Now waiting on your driving impressions of the EQE SUV to see if it is as comfortable, quiet, and nice to drive as its larger EQS version. Hopefully can get smaller wheels for better ride and range, but MB loves to move you up to the larger and more expensive bigger wheels. I want the plushest interior and the smallest wheels without the hyper screen, but not always available that way!
we ll keep u updated!
I completely agree with you, especially on the smaller wheels. I want the ultimate isolation/relaxation cruiser. That’s not too big with higher seating position. Hopefully this car will be as quiet as the EQS SUV.
As Always. Honest, to the point. Thorough review, that I think is world class to be honest!
Love the Vehicle
🙏🙏
Thomas great presentation. You're my #1 presenter for understanding the auto world .
Thanks so much! Please recommend 😎
Not being able to open the bonnet is weird IMO.
Better design and they could have created space for a frunk?
I agree on the naming conventions this is gona get really complicated if they decided to make sportback versions like the gle and glc coupé
There are no plans for coupé versions of the EQ SUVs.
I laughed at the futuristic cup holders which are so advanced they can no longer hold cups. But they look so minimal and sleek.
This interior looks great, I especially like the seating position and space, so far the Tesla Model Y done it the best, but obviously this is more luxurious
They have to do better with the naming and get rid of the capacitive buttons.
Imagine the Lucid crew were in charge of packaging, aero and drivetrain with Mercedes in charge of...wheel caps, hood ornaments and software.
Both this and the polestar 3 released within weeks- I wonder if that’s why polestar upped the price
I know that MB doesn't do simplicity, but that hyperscreen is overkill even for them... Combined with that complex button layout for the steering wheel, the in-your-face ambient lighting, it just feels like too much stuff competing for the same visual space. Just look at 19:37 for example, that is way too distracting. Plus, it doesn't even look or work that great in my eyes, is this mostly for bragging rights?
AUTOGEFUHL DESERVES 1000000 plus SUSCRIBERS!!!!!!!!!!!!1
thanks so much! Please recommend our channel =)
@@autogefuehl I Will , love ❤❤❤your channel very much !!! Herzliche grube aus der Niederlande
Great presentation as usual Thomas! I have decided to let myself enjoy the space ship sounds. They seemed rather fake and cheap at first, but driving Taycan and others with sound, I enjoy a reaction when I Accelerate or turn on the car. I’ve stopped being a ‘Synthetic noise snob’!
cheers m8 !
I love the interior and the hyper screen. If you don't like the hyperscreen: don't order it: it's optional.
But the exterior has no character. It does not look like SUV. The GLE looks much better.
Why Lotus can make exciting looking electric SUV: Eletre? And Mercedes instead creates cars for a grandma?
And I agree with Thomas, the old seat control buttons are better.
Now thanks to this side sliding port for the wipers fluid i can help my neighbor with quick heated windscreen wipers fluid. Just have to open my zipper...
I like the Hyperscreen 😃
It would be nice to have a fingerprint remover for the display.
I would really like to hear Thomas say ‘heckblende’ when talking about light bars in the rear.
haha i can do that
1675 litres. Less space than ALL the full size wagons, although it's also longer than most of them.
2.4 tons and you get a Golf wagon more on less, but taller to sit and longer to park.
Yeah, just get an ID Buzz and you can put an unprecedented 31 to 49 banana boxes inside! 😜
Use scale modifier in Alias 3D on EQS SUV 3D model and scale it a little bit down.
Or swap the badge off an Audi e-tron.
My choice is Thomas. not Mat.
🙏😉
Amg version should have 19 inch wheel option.
7:52 200 kW charging for the smaller battery? Is this new?
Sorry still 170
Great review Thomas, as allways. I order Polestar 3 and still very happy of my choice. Don´t like this Merc's new EQ desing at all. Basic fluffy SUV and even how much there is AMG stuff, doesn't feel even bit of sporty.
Cheers!
Thanks, Thomas!
Whoa - that cockpit with all the screens is approaching Las Vegas casino slot machine 🎰 visuals 😣
grazie!
If only MB would move away from capacitive controls and piano black plastic with their next updates S or EQ vehicles! I am leaning strongly toward the new 2023 Genesis G90 $100K version because of its controls plus great ride and quietness. Used to Mercedes and Lexus (last 6 vehicles) so not sure can stand the local Hyundai dealer and their version of customer service and vehicle sales.
Much prefer this to the EQS SUV!
Much prefer the EQE SUV to the EQE sedan - ever because of the trunk and the heat pump (since every new battery-car has one).
I knew I could count on autogefuhl to cut through the promotional bs right at the embargo time! Much appreciated. Is there an EQC SUV planned?
Meaning, an EQC based on the electric platform, not the 1st generation.
Cheers! That wont be renewed that soon
Really these giant luxury cars just brings steps back and back for electrification and saving energy.
But hey , profit and the free market rules all....
The red studio provided by MB is visually distracting and quite stressful. Stick to white or neutral colors. Thomas and Autogefuehl excellent as usual!
I agree. Hard to film there. Sorry for that, tried our best :-)
@@autogefuehl no need to be sorry! It was a bad move by MB; hope they keep it neutral in the future. You guys are always great.
Would take the Polestar 3 over this
Since pants can get dirty with dirt on the sidesteps
(this was addressed years ago for the GLC) while entering the car,
these are not so useful.
What about the DC charging power? The sedan EQE can be charged with
maximum 170 kW, the SUV with 200 kW - is this an update which get the sedan, too?
But: State of the art are charging power of 270 kW or more - IONITY can deliver up to 350 kW.
170 still sorry
The interior looks amazing. Merc is becoming a display company.
Great review as always Thomas. The naming is confusing and very reminiscent of folks who name their kids the same as their own name. Wife: “Thomas” Thomas dad and Thomas son “Yes?” Wife: “I need Thomas senior. Sorry junior.” If it was me, I would’ve named the SUVs XQE, XQS, etc.
hehe
i think they should've gone with EVA, EVC, EVE, and EVS (EV for electric vehicle) or ESA, ESC, ESE, ESS but this sounds kinda funny (ES for electric SUV)
Honestly, the GUI seems too complicated to use, specially mid drive with all these touch sensitive buttons that are way harder to memorise their position and having poorer feedback
What? Mercedes only just realised a heat-pump is obligatory? Other main-stream electric-car manufacturers figured that out years ago!!
Just use eco+ mode and freeze a little. ☺️
You mean companies like VW who charge $1K for the optional heat pump? OK, heatpumps improve interior heating efficiency by up to 30-40% if exterior temperatures are sub-zero. At around -5-to -10C, car heaters are pulling around 2kW, or roughly 10% of the car's consumption. Improving that by 30% saves about 3% of the car's consumption, which might equate to around 15 km of extra range. It can also be used to help pre-heat a battery prior to re-charging, but that's a minor part of the journey. A heatpump is a marginal benefit for winter driving in cold climates. For people in temperate climates or warmer, it's a waste of time.
Mercedes have tied themselves in knots with product naming structures.
*Yes Yes Yes!!!!!*
@22:09 "A little bit stiff in here at the rear". Just how I like 'em #TWSS
Maybe its just me but i think there are way too many touch screens in modern cars today. Its becoming deeply annoying with each new car that comes out
Lucid sticks a frunk in even the most slippery sedan limousine on the market.
Mercedes, in a tall hooded SUV...can't be bothered to get their packaging right and refuses you 300 litres or so of super convenient storage space.
Frunk or benchmark air quality for you and your family? Take a look at the really massive HEPA-filter.
i think the eqe suv looks pretty good- better then the eqe and eqs
I know Thomas still likes the nio Nomi.
😂
The eq* naming is always confusing to me, that's an option which I will not go optionally LOL
This design theme they went for on the EQ cars just doesn't do it for me. It's just so bland.
Also ( and besides the capacitive BS 😆, and the big screen overkill, and the naming ), those " Space-Age " sounds are ridiculous. MB should know/do better.
After watching this guy, I'm ordering the leather interior on every car I buy.
Thank you very much for your interest in this topic. I also bought cars with animal skin leather seats before I did my research and got to know the industry. The most important thing is: With today's modern materials, you have nothing to lose, just to gain. You achieve the same kind of luxury and comfort or even better while having the same or better durability with less impact on humans, animals and the environment.
You can use fabric/cloth, microfibre or leatherette. They can be made from recyclables (e.g. from PET-bottles or old fishing nets) or even from plant-based materials (like Pinatex from pineapple leaves or Desertex from cactus fibre or the mixed-plant-based Mirum). Or the Polestar 3 e.g. is using pine oil. And even if you still create a leatherette seat the classic way with petroleum base without a recycling share, the amount of oil being used for that is very little in comparison to how much oil is used for other car parts or how much oil is burned for fuel or heating. By ditching animal skin leather from car interiors, the amount of emissions (CO2e) is reduced by 85 (!) % (www.press.bmwgroup.com/africa-dom-easteurope/article/detail/T0403389EN/on-the-market-from-2023:-bmw-and-mini-models-with-vegan-interiors?language=en). So it is the most important thing you can do to make car interiors more sustainable.
A good example for high-end luxury with ventilated animal free seats is the BMW X7 with Sensfin: th-cam.com/video/1pRNkW9nrrw/w-d-xo.html
New leatherette materials can be superior in every aspect: th-cam.com/video/u94YXJ72UTA/w-d-xo.html
More and more natural materials are rising: th-cam.com/video/nRSsXEnwHDo/w-d-xo.html or th-cam.com/video/S1aNZeoatmE/w-d-xo.html
Another interesting article is here:
www.collectivefashionjustice.org/articles/is-vegetable-tanned-leather-sustainable-lets-do-some-leather-myth-busting#:~:text=Often%20listed%20as%20a%20'pro,the%20method%20of%20tanning%20used.
Also check out what the animal skin leather industry tried to with our channel: th-cam.com/video/nP_CvLlaFlI/w-d-xo.html
For seeing how the animals are being treated and transported in the global leather industry, watch this footage: th-cam.com/video/tkjCAmq1_8E/w-d-xo.html
Note that the footage is genuine and was recorded by a highly decorated investigative journalist in Germany I know myself personally.
Depending on the animal skin grade, the animals are specifically raised for this matter. However even if meat is the first misuse case, the hide remains one of the most profitable body parts. That means: If manufacturers put animal leather in a car and you demand it as a customer, you give your money to an industry that earns money by oppressing humans, animals and harms the environment, you make them more profitable. Alternatively, you could support industries with your wallet which try to improve the sustainability of materials. Also, if you turn the argument around to "meat is the waste of the leather industry" you realize that it doesn't make sense (and is ethically doubtful) to discuss the priority use of individual body parts of mammals. Mind experiment: You are getting slain down or even murdered on the street; would it matter to you if it was for your smartphone or for your purse?
We cannot change what we have bought in the past, but with more information and compassion we can change how we decide in the future.
holy shit 3.5 sec for this big car
wow seats look bad, wrinkled already 🤨
10:20 lmao
Once again, I love your presentation. You're my #1 favorite. I'm not a huge fan of SUVs, but I love EQS SUV & EQE SUV in and out. Of all the Mercedes SUVs, the design of the EQE SUV caught my heart and invited me. I would choose a non-AMG version with a comfortable seat. I don't want "range anxiety." And the exterior and interior color of the EQE SUV basic one is gorgeous. I agree with you; EQE SUV would be the best. One question is how much? EQS Sedan and SUV are over my budget. And when will it be available in the US? I look forward to seeing your ride review of the EQE SUV. Thank you.
thanks so much! Please recommend our channel =)
keeping you updated with the driving review as soon as possible
@@autogefuehl When you have a test drive, would you please let me know how EQE SUV is quiet? Some BEVs are not silently quiet, surprisingly. I heard the EQS sedan and Cadillac Lyric are the most silent-ride BEV at any speed. A quiet ride means they shut down noise from outside, too. And please let me know how the ride is. I prefer a cushioned, comfy ride compared to a sporty ride you would feel every bump on the street. Thank you.
Mmmm. So the best dedicated EV Mercedes is the cheapest🤨. Sounds like a great strategy!
It should of been called: Mercedes-EQ GLE
Or just EE
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
#capacitiveBS-buttons…..we get your point, Thomas. Perhaps focus on something else now?
Mercedes releases its electric gamma of vehicles very quickly. Very nice approach 👍. With your low shots it looks a bit like a B class🙁
definitely not a b class (thank god)
BMW iX is so much better looking. Waiting for lottery win and next iX7:)
If just a clutch can give 10% efficiency gain, and heatpump also some noticable amount, why did Mercedes wait so much to put these into the cars?
Maybe they weren't allowing their EV department to be too good to steal sales from their core ICE models. 😇
I'd like to see the small print behind that 10% claim, but I don't doubt it will significantly improve range for AWD versions at higher motorway speeds, where previously the resistance of AWD was a killer. While heatpumps are better than nothing, their effect on range is negligible unless you live in freezing conditions and winters are routinely sub-zero.
@@sirbuftontufton5846 In an other video Mercedes representative told that it is 5%.
Стильная модель
Wish it was a 7-Seat
You say you don't really need the Hyperscreen. For that matter, no one 'needs' any of the opulence that a MB offers. For buyers who want it all, the Hyperscreen is the way to go along with the many other options that MB makes available. To each his own.
Giving tips for the best price/performance. But even when price doesn’t play a role, the base screen is easier to handle
I want the Hyperscreen.
Thanks again for your effort on promoting animal free interiors
🙏🙏
Do they have Nomi assistant? No... No buy :D
This one actually looks good. I agree the interior screen is overkill.
As far as I know, no movies can be displayed during driving, also not at front passenger side.
Can’t wait for the time when manufacturers can abandon their electric subbrands and go back to just have one model range which will most likely be electric.
This is just a short wheel base EQS. Why did Mercedes even launch it and give it a separate name? There was a time when an E was different to an S and a C. Now there's actually no point because there's nothing different. And with this having a heat pump why would anyone get an EQS.
Fantastic review as always! Fully agree, the capacitive ‘buttons’ are terrible and look cheap. They decrease safety while driving. Much of the Mercedes tech is great, and the ambient lighting looks fantastic. I am sure the car will drive very good too. But the design is once more a letdown. It may be efficient, but it just doesn’t look good.
thanks so much! Please recommend our channel =)
It’s a gorgeous automotive creation. I love it. I would never buy it. What a thoughtless piece of design. My wife is 5’4”. She would have one helluva time stepping over the useless running board. And she will invariably get her slacks or legs dirty. Why? It’s one of the lowest SUVs on the market, allowing for easy ingress and egress. Except the running boards will get in the way. Either electrify them to recede, or toss them onto the useless parts bin.Just makes me shake my head.
Should've named it eGLE
One more thing...I have an Astros 1858 MegaSpace...with all carbon fiber on the dash...Hell I like it so much
By the way, it has Mirrors Cam .
Now....imagine what car I have in the garage?
Mercedes is running out of imagination. This is most obvious in naming the cars..
Goht Im Himmel that brown seat interior looks terrible!..Once again the tires are TOO low-profile giving a harsh ride, and that $10,000 glass dash option is ridiculous.
Thomas, the thought police :)
A bit silly to even care about resources in a big battery SUV that only by God's grace will actually get a heat pump ;-)
An E-Class Estate offers more luggage space and a full effort EQE Estate would have been much more economical of course, and save about 100 kilo's of steel and other materials.
The seat isn't the problem, it's actually the size of that stupid centre-rest, though it's gorgeous entire, blows BMW and Audi away.
Nio ES7 is better
Mercedes-Benz trying not to be outdone by Polestar. lol
Good review. Does Mercedes have a competition with BMW who makes the ugliest EV ?
Cheers!
Really bad naming, i just saw an EQS SUV live, but it just said EQS, im like, this aint a fucking normal EQS.... looks like a SUV.
It’s literally impossible to tell the difference between an EQS and EQE on the street…..what’s the point of having two model, you could just call it EQS short wheels base or something
I can’t believe this is what Mercedes brings to the ring to fight the BMW iX…the interior, where Mercedes usually shines, is mediocre at best in this EQE SUV.
