Really not a fan of the dashboard and the raked rear screen. Why do that on an estate when it's all about the load space? Not everything needs to look like a coupé.
The shape isn't actually that much different at all from the current W213 wagon. Well... why change the working shape. Again, looks better and more balanced than the sedan. It was the case with the W213 as well, imho.
Nice review. Hate the changes! I have a W213 and love it. So what have they changed? Outside styling is on a similar look in keeping with the whole range. It just looks a bit more blingy and cheap. I really do not want mercedes shaped lights and the pop out door handles will just be annoying. Good luck when you have ice on the car! Inside the seats and trim look much like the old model I have cream leather and it is much the same. Satnavs need to be shielded from the sun, surely you will get reflection on that angled centre screen. As for no buttons, how ridiculous to have to find the heater screen and find the demist button when you are driving along! Same with all the functions on a touch screen. Just awful. Old e class has air suspension on the wagon (in the UK) as standard. You buy these for the space, there was loads of rear legroom in the old model. I cannot see one change for the better on it. My wife will be very pleased as I will hang on to my current car (for as long as they sell diesel).
Same here bro. I'm just currently wondering what will be the replacement to our current model ... As for "I cannot see one change for the better on it", it's difficult to find something better than the w213 for how much it's the perfect one for me ...
You must be American , Americans have this stupid craze with SUV's which I can't understand . This ain't no 80's National Lampoon's , Vacation Chevy Chase station wagon , it's a modern spacious luxurious estate. We call them estates in the rest of the world not station wagons !
Leica Camera offers a near manual camera. Wouldn’t it be great if car makers would offer high quality machines focused on a great drive, simple operation and beautiful design. The technology is getting boring to me.
Hi Auto😂 Would you believe short hours before your vid uploaded, I searched this very model E class and found a video also in Vienna? So must have a showcase there. Am bound to see it on Trinidad 🇹🇹 roads soon😅 I call cars like these Apple cars - for the massive touchscreens.
@martinmcdonald .. +1 .. Agree. .. Our new '23 S213 E-450 All-Terrain interior / dashboard is well laid out with physical controls for the HVAC... However, the new '24 S214 wagon's gimmicky door handles, the electric HVAC vent control, and the total screen touch control for everything aren't attributes. .. The lengthened wheelbase contributes to greater rear-seat legroom; I'm all for it !!
Thanks for the preview! minus: gimmicky and useless flush door handles minus: no temp control buttons (might be deal breaker) minus: unnecessary huge screen that will be dust and fingerprint magnet minus: fake exhaust tips minus: larger wheel base yet less cargo space with rear seats up minus: only all terrain in the US plus: TikTok, angry bird app, and selfie camera () plus: increased rear seats space conclusion: take care of my current E wagon to stretch its life as long as I can
Great review, great looking car from the outside, the seats look fantastic. Still , I cannot get over how ugly the screen looks. I hate touch screens and want my buttons and knobs back....
@@narc1408 actually that's all Mercedes is doing these days. Cutting costs. You can see it in every car they make. The new C Class uses so much cheap hard plastics on the lower half of the doors and dash whereas previous versions were soft touch. The new A Class is another good example where they've removed the touch pad. That was purely cost cutting. Also, a Dacia actually has better build quality than the new A Class. So.......
I’m on holiday and driving this new hybrid model (Sixt rental). Impressed with its ride quality and quiet interior. Quite surprised that it barely fit luggage for two. Third person had to share the rear seat with his luggage. No room for a fourth person. 😢
Mercedes and BMW are so lost when it comes to interior design, using generic and hard to use screens. BMW is in an even worse situation because of the exterior design, they get uglier and uglier each refresh and new generation. Mercedes at least still looks pretty nice from the outside. All in all Audi is just the sweet spot nowadays, looks good in and outside, great usability with none of the unnecessary fuzz
Fully agree with you. I even think that new approach Mazda has taken with the CX-90 is better than MB and BMW - physical buttons and scrolling wheel, inline-6 engines, sober design.
+1 .. AJ nice initial review! ... The rear seat legroom increase is a welcome improvement over our own '23 S213 E450 All Terrain (USA) version. . Its 3.0l inline turbo six-cylinder with the 9sp gearbox is nicely refined. . The 4Matic rear axle bias isn't bad either ... The new S214 E-450 All-Terrain for the USA I'm told will be available in the late 2nd quarter of 2024. .. Thank you again ... M/S
The exterior design is okay and outshines all EQ models by far. What does not work at all are the cheap-looking and lousy-to-use sliders and touch-only elements. I expect such cheap solutions from French cars in the 30k class, but at a price of 100k I expect perfect ergonomics, comfort and safety. This model is an absolute downgrade in these 3 segments. Will not buy it. I am irritated and currently have no good plan with what I will replace my current T model with. Certainly not with this.
In the good ol' days you bought a german car because of the feel of quality and craftmanship. You feelt it in every tiny detail, the sound of the doors cloosing, the feel of buttons and controls when you for example changed the temperature, the fit of the bodywork. Everything rock solid. When you bought a product labeled "Made in Germany" you had to pay a little more but it was worth it. But now?! I'm sorry to say, but it seems to me that the german car builders have completely lost their roots. Porsche 911 still got it but other than that, thank you but no.
User interface design is heavily reminiscent of early 2000s Windows Media Player with its central button layout and blue color scheme. Once you see it, you can't unsee it and it just looks dated. On top of that, it takes less effort to open Angry Birds than to perform an operation in the AC pop-up menu. If this was posted on April 1st, I'd honestly think it was a joke. Imagine paying full price for this garbage.
This has far from the biggest boot in an E class estate contrary to what you said. It is smaller than the lsst 3 generations by a considerable amount. My E55 S211 has a 690L / 1975 L boot which is far bigger than this.
The dashboard is a joke... you are buying an ipad with a car built around it. Selfie camera... please. Fake exhausts on a 100k car? Better to remove them alltogether. Same with that battery step in the trunk... same design mistake since the first c-class plugin years and years ago. So all in for bling-bling, very little mechanics.
Those trunk protection bars... really bad choice in my opinion, one with chrome, one with plastic... the solution from the BMW 530e Touring looks to me more elegant, just one with chrome and at an angle.
How can you do a review of an estate and not give the boot size for the hybrid and fossil with the seats up and the hybrid with the seats down. You only gave the fossil with the seats down.
What a downgrade from the previous model. The previous gen of the E53 wagon is my fav car of all time. This new one is simply worst in every aspect. Worst front end Less trunk space with rear seats up The screens are just a joke. The previous gen had the perfect balance of physical buttons and great tech. This piece of junk is only trying to please the Chinese buyers who only want big screens and dumb gimmicks in their cars. The camera for the selfies just confirms it! Hope the amg model does a more aggressive front end but even with that the interior is a deal breaker. I even prefer now the bmw m3 touring, even though its a smaller car. The Audi rs6 or any version of their wagons is better than this joke. I knew this was coming when that horrible EQA came out. I knew Mercedes would try to adapt their new design language in their electric cars to the combustion models. Deep inside I was hoping that they wouldn’t but this car just confirmed my fears.
Tail lights are too gimicky, black surround night package looks cheap, black grille surround looks like they forgot to paint that piece...Digital vent control??????How lazy does MBZ think their customers are?
We stopped watching as soon as we saw the silly door handles. We sold our Tesla S because of this exact sort of thing, and of course, because we now hate battery cars. We purchased an M5 and love love love it. But avoid those type of door handles that need battery to open and freeze shut in winter. Normal handles are what you want.
Very nice car but like most Mercedes these days packed with unnecessary screens and stupid automated functions. Soon an artificial intelligence will be needed to most men to lift up their planes 😂
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. 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. 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 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.

Those screen dashboards are the dumbest thing.
Why?
Opinion alert 😂
Very nice review AJ. Glad to see you back with us.
Thanks my friend!
Yeah, good presenter 😄

i just fast-forward to the interior part, check if the buttons/dials are back, if not, i close the video and move on.
Nice to see you again after a long time
thanks my friend!
AJ! Welcome back😊
🙏🙏
It’s growing on me.
Beautiful outside, hideous inside. I’ll wait for the next A6
I love this car but would not keep that 3rd screen
The shape isn't actually that much different at all from the current W213 wagon. Well... why change the working shape. Again, looks better and more balanced than the sedan. It was the case with the W213 as well, imho.
Nice review. Hate the changes!

The Mercedes E Class Estate is the classiest car ever made. I love this car.
yeah but w210 270cdi, not this one
One of the better designs MBZ has produced in a long time. Not a fan of wagons, but I'd drive this one.

Is it just me or does this body look to be the exact same as the W213? Weird.

Hi, nice to meet you, but where's my handsome Thomas?

I don't know why MB would have rear air suspension only as standard. The smooth ride that is characteristic of an air suspension is lost.
Would have liked a start-up

like your accent❤
Cheers! 😎
I don't know. Maybe it's just me, but the hyperscreen is absolutely terrible. I'd option the normal infotainment. Well if I could afford it. 😂
👌👌👌
about time we got a new Ford Taurus wagon
Is it rare or rear?
both is possible to say
I wonder if that fly on the dashboard was a BMW spy...
So this is still 150L smaller inside than my S212, and the plugin hybrid is smaller by nearly 300L than mine :) ... crap!
Not liking that awfull hump in the back with the phev. It's a shame they couldn't hide this in an estate.
Where is Thomas 😢

i dont want camera in my car.. then i cant have sex
who da hell is this? where is the tall german guy?

That interior makes me cry, no class, no elegance.

Hmmm not sure if its a mismatch of litre measuring, mercedes says that the overall volume is so far unmatched; i ll try to clearify
I still hate this new interior, so many screens and led lights. All new Mercedes look so cheap.
Bad placement of the microphone. Please put it centrally on your t-shirt next time.
The dashboard is a joke... you are buying an ipad with a car built around it. Selfie camera... please. Fake exhausts on a 100k car? Better to remove them alltogether. Same with that battery step in the trunk... same design mistake since the first c-class plugin years and years ago.

Surly there is a better design option than fake exhaust tips! It's pathetic 😂
and that on a car that costs 100k EUR...
Too many screens and unnecessary features, only to increase weight and to be "more eco" 🤣🤦🏻♂️
It gives me Peugeot 508 estate vibes from the rear
Nah, you graduated in Ohio
@@johannkruschwitz3959 Okay Johan Auschwitz
As a french seeing peugeot car everywhere and everyday its true 😂
It looks like Kia / Hyndai
Old tech. EVs are the future.
What a downgrade from the previous model.
The previous gen of the E53 wagon is my fav car of all time. This new one is simply worst in every aspect.
Worst front end
Less trunk space with rear seats up
The screens are just a joke. The previous gen had the perfect balance of physical buttons and great tech. This piece of junk is only trying to please the Chinese buyers who only want big screens and dumb gimmicks in their cars. The camera for the selfies just confirms it!
Hope the amg model does a more aggressive front end but even with that the interior is a deal breaker. I even prefer now the bmw m3 touring, even though its a smaller car. The Audi rs6 or any version of their wagons is better than this joke.
I knew this was coming when that horrible EQA came out. I knew Mercedes would try to adapt their new design language in their electric cars to the combustion models. Deep inside I was hoping that they wouldn’t but this car just confirmed my fears.
Tail lights are too gimicky, black surround night package looks cheap, black grille surround looks like they forgot to paint that piece...Digital vent control??????How lazy does MBZ think their customers are?
it doesn't even drive?
Static presentation is always first - we ll do a follow up with driving
All these auto plants try to be Steve Jobs?!
Yes
We stopped watching as soon as we saw the silly door handles. We sold our Tesla S because of this exact sort of thing, and of course, because we now hate battery cars. We purchased an M5 and love love love it. But avoid those type of door handles that need battery to open and freeze shut in winter. Normal handles are what you want.
The interior is absolutely dreadful. I like my screens. But this is too much.
Stopped immediately after the fake exhaust. Absolutely a no go. Shame…
Woohoo. Indian guy!
Very nice car but like most Mercedes these days packed with unnecessary screens and stupid automated functions. Soon an artificial intelligence will be needed to most men to lift up their planes 😂
@4:45 Hello friend 🪰
Oh the design! This car makes the new 5 series looks so ugly haha
Where is Klaus the tall guy that hates animal skins... he is my favorite.
What's wrong with animal skins?
Producing the S63 for you 😎
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
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.
Looks disgusting to me…..
Only interested in the All-terrain version .
R U kidding?! All-terrain D-Class-es the Estate...Fugly & should be optional, if at all.
