what do you think of the seat confort? comparing to your other videos, you failed to mention anything about this subject. it is better or worst than the previous generation? thank you.
Have to say the Base design looks Class apart in that Black and Chrome finish. It makes it look a Step above the rest. The AMG version does not stand out like that. It is stylish in its own way. It is sportier. But E-Class being Sporty hmmmmm.... not a great combination.
Many reviewers are so "honoured" to review new cars from manufacturers they are actually petrified to say anything negative making the review gushy and pathetic. In contrast Thomas, your reviews are fearlessly honest and informative with all pros and cons listed which is the hallmark of an excellent review.
@@JamesSmith-qs4hx As MB chases BMW, they're doing this flat roundel on the hood like BMW, with that gigantic gaudy star in the grille. That's fine, but just don't deny E Class customers the proper upright star on the bonnet - at least as a special order option.
@pacmanc8103 the door panels also didn't have direct light on them. Pause the video at 5:57 and look at the headlight switch area on the dash. Looks like Thomas's cat had a dance party on that section
I love it. My one complaint is the lack of physical controls, especially on the steering wheel. Also, it would be good to customise those a bit, for example, being able to skip songs from steering wheel.
Seems they (car manufacturers) don't care as it makes them earn more. Physical controls cost more, and yet they kept the price btw when switching to a cheaper option. Ha ha, jokes on us.
You can skip songs from the steering wheel so long as the central display is showing the Audio screen. The buttons will control whatever you choose to display there.
@SDav21 you're right, but that's way too much faff. You have to leave the sat nav or whichever screen, navigate to the audio, highlight the next and click on it. All this with the capacitive little button. And then navigate back all the way to your sat nav, losing it while trying to skip a song. Even trickier to go back into it if using Android Auto/Car Play. The only good way to skip songs is using the middle touch pad next to the seat. Every other manufacturer have dedicated buttons on the wheels..
@SDav21 ah I see, thought you meant having the audio in central display, my bad. I rarely use the audio in driver display tbh as I prefer having other information. But you're right that you can have the audio and skip from there simply going up or down on the wheel. My pet peeve with that is you need to display and control an audio screen somewhere and can't directly control the audio skip (imagine you had to open the audio just to change volume). For example, if you could have the volume scroll wheel (ignoring they're going with capacitive buttons going forward..) click left and right, just like how a computer mouse wheel sometimes can. Or, if you could change some the the button for others, eg the answer/hang up calls to be skip songs instead. Going one step forward, have the icons on the wheel be small displays, and they can change depending on how you customise your settings, which are saved on your profile in the car. I never use the voice control or favourite buttons for example, would be nice to have something I actually use.
Agree I hate flush door handles. Not only are they just one more thing to go wrong (and they will at some point) the claimed aerodynamic advantage is minimal and negligible in day to day driving.
Flushed door handles - looks nice, totally unnecessary. Aero gain is minimal, could go wrong. And will, eventually. Electro powered vents - although looks over-engineered, it actually make sense. They can auto adjust for optimal airflow, and you can still adjust them manually if you want to. Best of both worlds. Dash camera - probably good as a security feature when the car is locked/breached. Otherwise just a gimmick and a spy tool for the paranoid. :) As always, great review Thomas and Autogefühl!
Maybe I'm just old and uncool but the pre-facelift W212 in my eyes was the best looking E-Class so far, these new ones look a little over styled and flashy in my opinion. I'm sure this new one is great though, not within my budget until it's a few years old though! Edit - Exclusive line in that dark color looks really good.
The E-Class W212 used to have night vision and rear seat entertainment when it came out. I guess not many customers ordered to have those options so they cut it.

Finally, I was looking forward to a full detail video, great as always Thomas :) it´s a shame they stick to a capacitive buttons on the steering wheel but I can´t wait to test drive it 👌
Thank you for demonstrating the BS slider function for the sunroof. In my almost 35 year old 190E I can find and operate the sunroof button without even looking where it is. Oh, it always works the first time I press it. And thanks for criticising the non haptive feedback of the cheap ass seat adjusting buttons. I hope the responsible Mercedes interior designer is watching this video also. There's a lot to learn for him/her.
It's just another example of where the automotive industry goes. And it's a wrong direction: touchscreens which are dangerous to use when driving, touch buttons dangerous from the same reasons, games onbaord, warning sounds when you exceed speed by 1 km/h. Did you see the way the folded rear seats create the "flat" area with the boot? Horrible finish! :( Why the long press of the button on the steering wheel does not include switching off the lane assistant? Why? Sucha missed opportunity!
Great info! So much detail. I really appreciate this. I heard something about the exhaust pipes being fake for decoration. Wondering where the exhaust is exiting the engine and why bother with false exhaust ports.
These new Mercedes are nice, but I’ll be keeping my 2017 CLS 550 as my daily driver. One of the best big body styles ever from Benz.. along with the S coupe and GT 4 door.
I know Mercedes has to step up with tech but never overdo it,especially with screens and "digital vents"... What a nightmare this car will be to maintain after a few years
People have been making these sort of comments ever since the wheel was invented. It’s not particularly insightful, or original, and we are managing just fine despite these fang-dangle new inventions, like the flint stone and spiky clubs.
Dude, it doesn’t only happen for Mercedes but for every German car brand out there now. If u get a German car and keep calculating about maintenance and resale value, better off for some Asian car brands then :)
I think we’re well beyond expecting any advance in technology to become a major problem just a few years into ownership. That’s not proving to be the case.
@@gcm747I have, a 2016 Mercedes e300, suffered cruise control sensor problem, rear left indicator flashed too fast, and even went into limp mode two years into ownership, if that’s a 2016 model, this model is absolutely going to be horrendous
@@theseb1979 nobody has complaint since the invention of the wheel 😂 hilarious comment. A lot of people embraced new ideas all the way into the 2000's but when more and more screens became the norm people realized that they meant trouble. And they have been right!! All the electric gimmicks from the 2010's cars start to make problems. Just google most common repairs on these cars. You will see what im talking about.
It's because they're laser focused on China, at the expense of UK/USA Exclusive E Class customers. What an ignorant decision. Someone at MB obviously has too much time on their hands.
Yes, S-Class seems all about being driven now, that's the main upgrade over the E. I do like the 10º rear steering, but shorter cars need that less, or less of it. I guess the Estate doesn't get it because wagon shoppers like myself just want to bit big stuff in the back. I personally care more about space between the wheel cases than total volume. Oddly, Renault Talisman seems widest in the back.
A Lexus ES or a Toyota Camry is smaller than the new E class, but sitting in the back seat is much more comfortable. Legroom, knee room, headroom, like you're in an S class. It is unfortunate that the Germans stubbornly, as if by agreement, make the back row unsuitable for the owner, this also applies to the BMW 5 and the Audi A6.
The speed warning shortcut is a perfect feature! I recently drove an EQE SUV and Ioniq6 back to back and in the case of Hyundai, you have to go to some submenu and turn off the traffic sign recognition completely to get rid of annoying warning beeps. Otherwise, the new E looks pretty nice, one of the best-looking regular Mercedes models at the moment. I really did afraid that they will screw that up.
We can't even get that E Class style anymore in the USA. MB doesn't care, they've put all the eggs in China's basket. China is getting it. The USA is only getting the hotrod Sport style.
With the hyper-screen option fitted, from where does the passenger airbag deploy? Does the dashcam app now automatically start recording and does the internal "selfie-camera" have a sentinel mode that keeps recording when the car is parked?
Digital Vents are useful with multiple drivers as the positions will remember Driver 1 or and driver 2 Seat Settings, and vent settings, steering wheel settings Etc.
I feel a classic style exterior and cloth interior with no super screen or black plastic bs would be the preferred option. Mercedes need to speak up Mazda on ergonomics. I feel Mercedes need to back to their roots, great seats, excellent ergonomics and safety and bulletproof reliability and quality.
@autogefuehl Great review, great car. Digital air vents are great for driver profiles, and maybe there are (or will be) optimized presets for internal airflow in the car depending on the amount of passengers, where they sit and so on.
I've had both cream and gray interiors in my MBs. Never had a problem with them looking dirty. If that would happen though after many years then you can just leave the car for an interior recond and everything is back to virtually new again.
As always, great work Thomas. I understand why Mercedes has gone so heavy into tech unfortunately it makes these cars far more disposable. Those screens and the processors that drive them will fail sooner than later as they are exposed to such climate extremes. Do you guys get long termers? I think cars like this would be great for you guys to have for 6 months to a year and you could update us monthly on your findings.
This should not be a problem, they do heat endurance runs (e.g. sunroof is required to work up to 90°C) and test the cars extensively in very hot climates (phoenix, az).
awesome review as usual. cant wait for you to review (driving review i mean) the new BMW 5 series. Hopefully you get to test a combustion version of it. Any ETA on that?
I have this amazing thing that is lots smaller than a phone that I just keep in my pocket or belt. Can then open my car and start it without problem. No need missing with an app or opening my phone or taking it out of my jacket. Maybe Mercedes will use a key fob someday too.
I wonder if they offered a model without the touch screen and used real buttons if it would OUTSELL the one with the glitchy screen and voice commands.
16:26 one time I think I heard they will not launch 6zylinder in Europe. but it seems like they will launch. what is the truth? 6 cylinder e klasse is one of my dream. and I will soon move to germany from south korea so It is so important matters to me.

The question is, if all features are on your phone, what happens if you lost or broke your phone? And with all new technology nd materials will you need a cloth to clean finger prints? Also the light colors for the seats seem to absorb dirt easy, is there any combinations material for the seats? and lastly always introduce the people who assist you. It makes them feel apart of the team. Otherwise great job.
I wonder why they don't have a lock and unlock button on the passenger door handle as well. They've take it away in recent years. The 212 and 213 has it. Now if a passenger sits in the car while waiting for the driver they have to reach all over to the other side to lock all door.

Complain all you want, your opinion does not matter to Merc, these features are to suit the taste of upper middle class Chinese customers.
I just think about all the additional things to fail in the motorized door handles and vents.
6:55 - the sunroof controls are a perfect example of something that didn't need to be capacitive and should have remained a physical toggle.
Why? It works perfectly.
Wish they'd Bring back physical buttons, get rid of piano black and integrate the gadgets.

W211*

The E-class got downgraded every generation since the early 200's, getting lesser and lesser features from the S-class.
The Exclusive line over the AMG.
For the first time in a few models. This e class is clearly a better buy than the 5 series. Or A5.

the bubbly headlights dont convince me... too reminiscing of the EQS... but everything else is nice
How about c class w206
This Engine will available to choice in Europe ?
Digital Vents are useful with multiple drivers as the positions will remember Driver 1 or and driver 2 Seat Settings, and vent settings, steering wheel settings Etc.
Thomas is always so stylish
I think this car have too many gimmicks, which frustasted me a little bit. Companies are making basic functions become more difficult.
Yesssss I’ve been waiting for this brilliant
I feel a classic style exterior and cloth interior with no super screen or black plastic bs would be the preferred option. Mercedes need to speak up Mazda on ergonomics. I feel Mercedes need to back to their roots, great seats, excellent ergonomics and safety and bulletproof reliability and quality.
Drove this car as a loaner when I took my car for service. I was impressed with how solid it was. It looks cheap but it felt far from it.
I can't wait until I get mine!
Thank god i still have my w213 with buttons!
Very nice. What a sin that they're not doing a coupé version 😢
Alpine grey clothes as well
hehe yes
@autogefuehl Great review, great car.
Digital air vents are great for driver profiles, and maybe there are (or will be) optimized presets for internal airflow in the car depending on the amount of passengers, where they sit and so on.
17:09 good to see to have the test drive with the supercar blondie🤣🤣🤣
Traditional one I will prefer
Great review. Does it feel to you to light grey interior would catch dirt easily? I like the grey color and how the steering wheel match it too.
I've had both cream and gray interiors in my MBs. Never had a problem with them looking dirty.
If that would happen though after many years then you can just leave the car for an interior recond and everything is back to virtually new again.
@@martinsvensson6884 thank you very much for your reply. This makes me feel better with this new light grey interior.
A car will increasingly become a laptop on wheels.
Ok boomer
From hero to zero......
The Worst or Nothing.
Long live the W212......
Great Review, but i prefer a car with conventional buttons.
Can you please do a review on the new Aston Martin DB12.🙏🏿
thanks yeah I agree!
i wish there was a 3rd party that would sell wood inlays for the inlay that Mercedes only sells as gloss plastic (door control).
As always, great work Thomas. I understand why Mercedes has gone so heavy into tech unfortunately it makes these cars far more disposable. Those screens and the processors that drive them will fail sooner than later as they are exposed to such climate extremes. Do you guys get long termers? I think cars like this would be great for you guys to have for 6 months to a year and you could update us monthly on your findings.
This should not be a problem, they do heat endurance runs (e.g. sunroof is required to work up to 90°C) and test the cars extensively in very hot climates (phoenix, az).
Looks cheap without the upright star on the bonnet.
Waiting for the E53 amg
Will you review the S63?
Hi, love your channel! is the new E-class as quiet as the S-class at high speeds?
thanks! I would say so
im getting this in a couple when it comes out!
that would be this: th-cam.com/video/8hRbnFaHzDI/w-d-xo.html
awesome review as usual. cant wait for you to review (driving review i mean) the new BMW 5 series. Hopefully you get to test a combustion version of it. Any ETA on that?
of course we will! Will take some more though, no schedule yet. I guess September/October
Thank you for sharing your height. That’s probably one of my main reasons for choosing a cars. If you fit, it is automatically put on the list.
Will it come with a 6 cylinder diesel? Also, are the lower half of the doors soft or hard plastic?
I definitely prefer the Exclusive Line, but sadly it will not be available in North America. Only the AMG line
Did Mercedes really forgot to put paint on top of the primer?
Another great video! How is the Superscreen in bright sunlight? It seems like it could be blinding.
Hi Thomas, I’m waiting for your full review about the Lotus Eletre in 4K, full screen, full length 😊
I have this amazing thing that is lots smaller than a phone that I just keep in my pocket or belt. Can then open my car and start it without problem. No need missing with an app or opening my phone or taking it out of my jacket. Maybe Mercedes will use a key fob someday too.
hahaaaaa good review this type real funny💯
Is the plug in hybrid available in the usa?
What happened with All Terrain E450
Is it replaced with Estate or there will be All Terrain version of it too ???
Can you tell me about the watch that Thomas is currently wearing?
I wonder if they offered a model without the touch screen and used real buttons if it would OUTSELL the one with the glitchy screen and voice commands.
2:53 is hilarious
I need a similar trouser please, what’s the brand?
16:26 one time I think I heard they will not launch 6zylinder in Europe. but it seems like they will launch. what is the truth? 6 cylinder e klasse is one of my dream. and I will soon move to germany from south korea so It is so important matters to me.
All these newly introduced Mercedes I honestly prefer the design of the previous generation. The only really appealing one is the CLE
does the voice controll work without German accent?
No. You have to practice German.

The question is, if all features are on your phone, what happens if you lost or broke your phone? And with all new technology nd materials will you need a cloth to clean finger prints?
Also the light colors for the seats seem to absorb dirt easy, is there any combinations material for the seats? and lastly always introduce the people who assist you. It makes them
feel apart of the team. Otherwise great job.

MB and BMW designers believe that ugly is the new beautiful.
I wonder why they don't have a lock and unlock button on the passenger door handle as well. They've take it away in recent years. The 212 and 213 has it. Now if a passenger sits in the car while waiting for the driver they have to reach all over to the other side to lock all door.
Yep getting mine soon 🎉😂
Exclusive line is the CORRECT E series to own. Star must be present! However, why don't they place it further , I hate to see it on the bonet!
