MBUX?
Autogeful. Where the preview is 3 times longer than other channels full reviews
4 times
welcome!
yes, that's the one👍😎
Current E class seems so new that it doesn’t need a facelift. I can see that design till 2024
IMO the e-class estate looks a bit outdated from behind. Corapared to the A6 that thing looks way more modern, especially the RS6
Thank god you are not the project leader
That's because you get used to have the same design in your BMW interiors...
George Shamakhia
What does BMW have to do with this?
@@aidenp5768 1: your profile photo
2: the fact that BMW has the same interior design for more than 5 years
I’m surprised, how you guys, don’t have more subscribers.
Best car channel, hands down
thanks m8, please spread the word =)

Autogefühl r u German?
That shiny plastic steering wheel is a deal-breaker.
you can option a different steering wheel.
The current steering wheel looks great, this new one looks awful and I suspect non user friendly.
@@marcrchtz9024 the front bumper is covered so we can't see it. It's not gonna be like that
@@marcrchtz9024 What front bumper ?
The car is still in camouflage mode ...
I think it looks nice with how it resembles the grille.
Thomas is reviewing a new car, I'm putting the kettle on for a cup of tea and start enjoying.
I don't like the new steering wheel design also the new tails light :(
How have they ruined the steering wheel 🤦🏽♂️
It looks weird, they made the logo bigger but the airbag cover smaller. The worst thing is skinny rim at the bottom of the steering wheel
It looks even better than the previous one.
yeah its so sad :(
Shit is ugly Mercedes just leave it alone this model just came out
Autogefuhl - The Encyclopedia Britannica of Cars
=)
Two Germans sitting in a Mercedes speaking English to each other..... What has the world come to? 🤷🏼♂️
Its actually unusal to hear or even see a german speak english because older people in Germany often says YOU ARE IN GERMANY LEARN GERMAN SPEAK GERMAN.
They hate or just dont wanna learn 😂😂
Because there are more English speaking nations than German, including Germany.
larshelmin Well it could be two Germans sitting a Ford speaking German.
Now English an international language.. the viewrs are wider... less trouble to do subtitle i guess 😅
It's only a light hearted comment on how internationalized the car world has come. Not that long ago a thing like this would have been done around Stuttgart with a Mercedes chief engineer who hardly spoke any English. Btw I just noticed if put on my strongest Mercedes glasses I will be able to see the chief engineer speak in German about this car with no critical questions at all, I'm sure Thomas know which guys I speak of ;)
I'm surprised how early you guys can get those latest news on cars , very amazing review as always
I always knew Thomas gets to look at cars first. But holy hell, pre-production model? In 5 years, Thomas gonna do reviews from the manufacturing plant.
He'll design the cars? 🤔🤔😂
good idea =)
@@autogefuehl sitting in the designers study going over drawings, I'd watch that. 👍
"Ugly " it did not need a facelift change it back it doesnt even look like a benz any more "smh" its a no for me i will choose the previous year anyday over this.
Bad design update to get rid of the distinctive ‘2 beam’ LEDs which distinguishes the E class
The GLC is competing for the most ugly facelift of all time. I agree
Agreed the 2 level headlight (like Volvo) is ugly for Mercedes.
Gone are the days of manufactures revealing their cars! Now all these previews, looks made for the Chinese market
PixelVogue mercedes are popular in asia. They use more mercedes than bmw . For example in japan, china, korea, singapor, thailand etc...
ok boomer
Of course it is. Why wouldn't you make a car for your largest market? And what does that even mean? Still a gorgeous car
Does anyone notice that there’s no analog clock in the middle center concole? This is cost cutting in a wrong way...
Steering wheel successfully ruined 🤓
I am shocked, surprised and so happy to find out so much about the W213 B spec. The things that Thomas has access to is amazing and I love going along with him. I am a current E Klasse owner and I love the updates, I cannot choose my favorite I love them all. At last the E Klasse is getting MBUX, it really fits the car. Mercedes is doing what they do best, make a great can better. I cannot wait to have my very own W213 B spec. As always Thomas keep up the great work, I love watching you and I learn so much.
great u re with us!

I thought this is the new car, then I realised the camboflage
I'm with Thomas on the new steering wheel, I'm not convinced it looks better than the old one. This is a BIG and impressive facelift, I'm actually in the process of ordering an E class for September. After I seen this video I instantly contacted the lease company and have asked them to confirm I will be getting the facelift version :) Pictures and videos of the E class don't do it justice, I visited my local showroom recently and seen an E AMG Line Night Edition Saloon in the flesh, the car is absolutely stunning! The videos Autogefühl produce are so insightful and helpful keep up the great work!
👌
Is it just me or the exclusive/more luxurious version looks better than the amg version
God, my lease for my 2018 is up at end of this year. Now I don’t know what I’ll do. Not feeling this. They ruined the steering wheel, LED lights back and front... might have to consider the GLE or the Audi A6. Ugh I’m so disappointed.
Totaly agree. If you want a big SUV the Q7 is an option. The latest SUV's from Merc are sooooo boring to look at. Good luck deciding :)
I would get the GLE. But YOU decide what to get since it is YOUR money. Don't let anyone else tell you their opinions on the cars. You go check out the cars and see which one YOU like.
First world problems 😏

Don’t know why we have self parking cars, if you can’t park it properly shouldn’t be driving
When do the wraps actually come off?
When you drive fast enough on the autobahn i've heard or just rumours😂😂😂😂
It's the circuit board edition. They stay.
stay tuned here =)
In geneva motor show.
What happened to the clock? Also, the A/C vents look like the vents of the many other cheaper cars...Why the change?
Nice review - many thanks Thomas and Jonas. Interesting speaking to the boss chief engineer...
It's not fair changing the front end like that! I understand if they do small changes with the facelift, but not changing the whole design! I mean look at the s class facelift! It's just small changes! Im saying this because i bought 2019 e coupe! That's sucks.. lol
The new steering wheel looks terrible. Also from a leaked image of the face-lift E63 the rear lights don't look great either. Basically looks like the A Class Sedan from the back now...
5:10 Only Thomas would do that! 😂❤
Love the unhappy engineer to have to answer so many questions to a journalist that knows what is talking about. Normally is just flattering.... What is this? No more German journalists
Haha they're extremely serious lol. Part of the reason they build such a great car. They don't have patience for any non sense or repeatetive questions too hahaha. Iz done zis vay and zat is zat. no more questionz! Every time I get in my SL I think it's not the most emotional or exotic car in that category but man it's reliable, the visibility is amazing and when you get to driving it, the car doesn't want any interruptions. Its a very deep sounding no bullshit car and zat is vie zie i love it! It's very straightforward and it's very clear. There's always a procedure for everything. It's so Germanic! lots of rules. Love this thing to death tho!
This new steering wheel is HIDEOUS. The outgoing one was just perfect, and had been around for only a couple of years. Bad decision to change it. Totally don't get it.
Peter, thanks. I had no idea because I never considered the sedan . I'm surprised the air turbine vents are not in the sedans also. The louver vents look like a cheap rental car.
Marketing continues to think they must increase the branding size on everything. Massive kidney grilles. Massive MB star. Oversized Lexus logo. Come on. What's next? The entire steering wheel is a star?
😂😂😂😂 I'm dead
Hahahhaa so true, the steering wheel is ugly..
The entire steering wheel a star! Yes!
W212's facelift was a game changer for Mercedes, that whole generation was so gorgeous looking. Not diggin' this one at all. Waiting for W214. Mercedes, go back to your roots!
Indeed. The steering wheel now looks boring.
Roots? You mean Rost? Thanks no, I prefer 213
@@tajulashikinjumahat2597 Exactly and the touchpad too.
Smart questions Thomas. Job well done!
appreciated !
Wow!! Finally they're not making the larger screens and navigation optional! It's about time! Especially since some electric carmakers have proper screens as standard items. In a premium brand these screens should have never been optional. We've moved into the tech age and tiny silly screens won't do. I hope the next C Class makes a proper screen standard too. You can see the car in the animation at 9:02. I wish it had 2 led strips. 😭
MB should stop making their cars look too similar from one another.
Olders one are gorgeous than 2020
Best design for E-Class are w211 and w212.
This seems like a HUGE downgrade from last years model.... cheap ugly steering wheel, no scroll wheel, no full screen CarPlay, annoying new interior sounds.. no thanks!!
The steering wheel is so underwhelming, especially considering the actual one. I hope the CarPlay issue will be fixed and for the rest, let's see what the future brings :/
Mousepad instead of scroll wheel
Ambient lighting no longer in air vents
New thumb controls on wheel.
That's the new interior 😭
Ambient lighting was never in the air vents in the first place
That was only available in the coupe
@@peterambrose2148 "well akshully"
Not just the worst ever mercedes exterior design I have ever see but also probably one of the worst in car history. It looks like a drunk Chinese farmer created it and sold it to a drunk Russian farmer and Russian farmed tried to re-design in after 5 bottle of Vodka.
Mercedes and their employes get a 50 cm hard wood sticks and beat the hell out that designer who ever designed exterior!
No, I know it was a cover. However, cover definitely reflects how ugly that exterior design is.
How dare you! They spent literally tens of minutes on this refresh!
The new design only suits for cla
The Steering wheel is a no go, like what were they thinking? The centrepiece protrudes like the plastic backcover of a cheap pink hairdryer brought off from Amazon. And, the Sports version has an even ridiculous design.
Also, I agree, who would in their right mind and aristocratic taste replace a brushed satin metal finish with a scratch prone polished plastic influence. Mercedes in their recent endeavour of becoming futuristic are becoming more tasteless insensitive weird of gawkiness. Tell them.
awesome! especially the technical insights from the MB engineer. really looking forward to touch it in Geneva next month.
unfortunately I agree with the other viewers: the new sport steering wheel is hideous, but luckily there is a standard one as alternative.
Any news about potential mild hybrid implementation on diesel engines? maybe 400d (450d)? 220d is too weak and noisy compared to the bigger engines.
Facelift that looks like a completely new model, pretty impressive
Boo. Bring back the traditional Mercedes grill with the upright star on the bonnet.
As i said that is still available. Its a trim line called Exclusive
Hi Thomas, first thanks for another great review. Just one thing; you seem to have sped up a bit. :o)
In any case, I have owned a E 350d for almost three years now with cool specs, here is a sample:
- Callaite Green (elegant color shifts in blue/green depending on the light!)
- designo beige/espresso brown interior with matt brown wood (opted out on the glossy walnut)
- Exchanged the standard grille for the diamond grill
- 20 inch wheels (same as in this video)
- Air suspension
- Keyless Go
- Engine protection plate (great investment)
- Multi LED
- Burmester Surround (not the 3D-version...)
- and more
I'm happy with the facelift, except for the lights, both front and back. In my opinion it looks a little too "babyish" for the E-class. They look a little bit too much A-class sedan. I think they are nice, but E-Class needs more sophistication.
The steering wheel looks sporty and elegant (difficult combo to achieve) and I'm happy to see that the leather is still on the wheel, because it gives great grip. The downside that I see is the move to touch-controls, where MB is not alone. My opinion is that touch screens and touch controls do not belong anywhere near the driving seat! Worst place possible is the steering wheel - how are you supposed to know what you are tocuhing/pressing without looking down? Mechanical controls you can feel and identify while you don't have to draw your attention away from the road.
I am so looking forward to acquiring the E 300 de in the near future, but if I understood the engine talk correctly in the video, there is/will be a hybrid electrical engine also with the 6-cylinder?
Thanks again for being the best car reviewer channel on TH-cam...in full screen and full HD! :o)
Perhaps it just needs to be seen live in complete version. Another thing, though...those 20 inch wheels - not to recommend in Scandinavian countries or other northern countries where spiked winter wheels are used. The roads erode every year, quickly become bad and make poor circumstances for these kind of wheels. On the continent in Europe - no problem, since the roads are very good and always even.
Thanks for the experience!
Shiny black plastic on the steering wheel? Mercedes doing a great job at making the interior look cheaper.
They could have put black metal
Yeah the piano black plastic looks awful especially if it get scratched easily.
when it will be ready for sale in the market?
8:22 it looks clean... UNTIL you touch it. i dont understand why the hell everybody needs to ruin anything with that capacity touch "buttons" or touchscreen nonsense...
it looks worse (that double spoked one is FUGLY as hell), it works worse. current steering wheel with alu buttons is the perfect one, i cant imagine a better steering wheel. this is a HUGE step back, HUGE!
this is some great quality content. I find it really amusing to watch two germans talk in english just for our viewing pleasure! Thank you very much for the video
👌
e class best car in the world
Every E class is dream car...😍 that steering wheel in AMG interior is stunning...Big star is definitely sign of luxury and gives to a car special "schmeckt"! 😍😍😍
It’s an E Class, so a good car. But I’m not sure about the ambient lighting over the screens, and also still no Apple CarPlay in full screen (same issue on the A class). Thanks for the preview
thanks for tuning in !
As an owner of a W212 I put 220,000 miles on I can tell you that at least 90% of the parts that failed started with "204" meaning they are C-Class parts. A trend i dislike is the E-Class is becoming a dumping ground for 204/205 parts that simply don't last. Like the W213 and W212 use the same W204 Blower motor that seems to break like clock work around 175K miles.
They sent him the knockoff instead.
this is the first MB facelift I think is a step back instead of a step forward.
I have a E220d estate 2019, I really am happy with this car, I love the intelligent headlights,I don’t like the look of the lights back and front
I love the steering wheel and interior :) Thanks for the review. Always the most detailed and relaxing reviews on YT.
👌
New interior? 😂
Well Mercedes is a well thought company. They need to get rid of their old interior digital dashboard, buttons and etc..., Verstehen?
@@liqhtx3 well... I don't see how it's any different from an A-class...
Seems the same so far (not that it's a bad thing) other than the steeling wheel. This is a mid-cycle refresh so probably don't expect too much difference.
@@Samosayummyyay Just because the A Class has 2 screens as well doesn't mean it's the same 😘🤡
Am I the only one who thinks car reviews are spending too much time showing the infotainment system? Personally I don't care about computer when it comes to cars
Ah the Circuit Board Edition. Excellent! I buy like that for many looks.
Think I prefer the little thumb pad than that full integration on the steering wheel
Good video! And the interview also . Lots of informations.
It is basically a longer bigger A class sedan! Why they even bother with the camouflage is beyond me. We already seen the A class sedan.
Mercedes knocking out a new car every week as usual then... it certainly seems like it!
Staying ahead of there noisy neighbors!!🌝
This new steering wheel is horrible, looks like a cheap plastic knock-off of a real Benz one.
Mercedes MUST focus on the material quality and ESPECIALLY the BUILD quality. The current desperately needs it. It didn't feel solid and that shiny centre stack piece NEEDS to go ASAP. It cheapens the experienceif it is not in a wood grain or something else other than that glossy black plastic. I see here it is wood and I hope that's standard across the range. The W212 facelift felt more solid inside. Even the door closing sound. I'm glad they've stretched the rear lights again. Makes it look wider like the elegant W212 facelift. I hope it has some form of 2 led strips to distinguish it though. But Mercedes, BUILD and MATERIAL quality please! Focus. It's why after i test drove the W213 I decided to rather stick with my W212. Sad though that there's no more normal V8 model. The inline 6 engines should at least be the base engine.
The new steering wheel looks cheap, the tailights are going to DECREASE it's class and style factor and take it into sad CLA/A-class sedan design territory, BIG/HUGE mistake if you ask me, and to be honest, the Mercedes cars of 2018 look WAY better!! They are the best and will remain so until the company goes full-electric, which will happen in the next 3-5 years, or else they'll be gone and I'll have to explain to my kid why Dad was fan of a car manufacturer that no longer exists...
that's song being played at the beginning is a bmw song
I don't like the modern mercedes...
the outside of this car is BORING and bordering on fugly!! and that steering wheel belongs in a child's pedal car. call me a relic, but just about the only epic cars that Mercedes Benz have produced since 2000 are the GT-S and the SLS. the first C63s were impressive also, but the C and E class have only gotten progressively boring in outside appearance. they will not stand the test of time. the S class roof lines are ridiculously stupid. anyone over 5'10" needs to wear a helmet when climbing into the back seat in order to avoid a concussion. and please stop calling anything a "four door coupe". it's stupid since the actual definition of a coupe is literally a vehicle with two doors. i grew up in a Mercedes Benz family and was riding around in the back seat of the old fintails before i could walk. I'm disappointed in the bland look that most of the Benzes have adopted over the last two decades. and it's still too early to tell, but i wonder what will become of all the tech in these cars in 20, 30, or even 50 years from now. my last Benz was a pristine '89 560SEL which was fully functional and serviceable even 30 years later. i think software issues and incurable obsolescence will send the current models to the scrap heap much sooner. i guess I'll be hanging on to my '99 SL500 for a long time. or at least until another designer like Bruno Sacco joins Mercedes Benz.
Shitty front and rear lights ...... didn't expected MERCEDES to move back rather than moving forward because I loved all their previous models but this one is not worth it ..... I am going to buy the old one 2019 one
I own a C43 AMG. Up until about a year ago, I thought about upgrading to an E class. Not anymore. These cars are dinosaurs. And their other German brethren. Tesla Model 3 Performance will outperform their offerings that are over $20K more expensive, while still having significantly more advanced tech, safety included. And also maintenance costs are practically nonexistent, and there is that minor thing of not having to fuel up every few days. The value proposition for anyone with decent intelligence is just not there when it comes to these Germans. Mercedes better shape up and fast because people in US are ditching their cars and going to Tesla in huge numbers. The same applies to BMW and Audi.
12:02, That lag while scrolling through the map is embarrassing for a Luxury 2020 car
I think Audi is doing better facelifts than Mercedes now...and i think Audis are becoming more and more comfortable
Was there ever mention of an AMG version with a six cylinder? Cause I think it’s stupid the facelift on the C class excludes MBUX. I like what they did with this, but are they gonna give us a E 53 AMG facelift, too?
E-Class is cool. The Problem is just, that E doesn't mean electric. Then it would be a great car...
Can’t wait for the 2021 Coupé. I hope the straight 6 comes to the plug in hybrid model.
Very nice videos, as always! Great! I appreciate this facelift on the E-Class, especially on the new rear light (horizontal lines) and the new steering wheel, that is fantastic! I thing, that is one of the great cars at moment on the market!
Cheers m8
Is the CarPlay wireless yet ? Obviously it is in A6 and 5 series. Lack of full screen is a step backwards. Can you get your feet under the front seat? I couldn’t and I’m only 6ft driver. It needs a cooled seats option. Even Mazda and Skoda have this in their big cars
Gone is the analogue clock in the centre dash and the 2 DRLs for the headlights..looks like Merc stopped following the DRL rule of 1,2 and 3 for the C,E and S class respectively
Herr Thomas is step by step with the MB engineer chief. .. Don't give me that,,, answer the fucking question. ..Must have been a lovely afternoon..
It's really about time the E-class facelift is coming, i hope they are going to improve their use of interior materials, since the current model lacks in terms of quallity feel in some areas, also im not really thrilled by the plastic single surface on the steering wheel, the current silver nobs definitely look more expensive, also at 9:02 did Mercedes just leak the e-class' headlights and front grill ? Edit: the dual screen mbux being standard is perfect, the current e-class was an embarrassment with the analog diales and the tiny screen surrounded by a big plastik plate.
The head and tail lights very koreanish. Have lost their uniqueness. Mercs have always been discerned by their light design. E.g.. New A-Class saloon cannot be identified without the Merc badge.
That steering wheel is an ugly looking thing...the centre is too much of a round blob and looks terrible. Otherwise, the technology is good but the surround cameras are already behind Land Rover which is very surprising...in the demonstration you had a hard job to work out what you were looking at!
Give me a CLA...
Another boring car from an old German manufacturer... totally lost in the world of innovations...
Goodbye Nokia
So funny that a German car made in Germany being presented with first hand review in USA. On a different note, it does not make any sense with auto manufacturing companies to offer a face lift every year. Tomorrow they change the horn.... whoila, we have a new version!!!
Vooden Veneer. I love German accents
I don't understand why car makers need to constantly update their cars when they are still fine. The current e class is still up to date and quite nice. I don't think Mercedes needs another face lift until 2024. Oh and that steering wheel, disgusting.
So predictable. No point in covering it up.
Mercedes's design has always been very good, but I don't think it's what e series should be like. It looks more technological than luxurious. If this design is used in C series and a series, I think it's better
Will they make it easier to disable the ECO system? I heard MB will be putting it next to the start button so you can disable it soon as you start the car. I really HATE ECO! 🤮
His voice is so soothing.
✌️🤗
Wow that is an absolutely horrible looking Mercedes, the lines & fitting of the car panels is atrocious especially the hood/bonnet doesn’t fit properly.
Looks terrible both from outside and the interior, Can’t wrap my head around how people like any of it. The side profile is the only thing that isn’t completely ruined
I hope they don't short change American customers by giving us flashing brake lights for indicators...
These are a truly disappointing changes, the plastic fancy toy steering wheel replaces the best solid metal feel one, wow ☹️ the control wheel for infotaiment is also missing..
i do not like it
