I intend to buy the estate version of this car. The first thing Ito do is to take the E400D and 4MATIC badges off making it look like a humble out of fashion E class estate and then enjoy to the fullest what this machine can subtly do for me: Performance, boot space, effortless cruising (1000 miles trip to Cassis in a day with a single stop for fuel and baguettes), MPG ... everything better than any ghastly SUV. By the way I detest BMWs and their drivers. I equally dislike hybrid and electric cars but not the drivers (sorry the vehicle operators).
You're not the only one who things the E400d somehow steps it up compared to the four cylinder diesels. I drove the estate versions and while the E220d feels like a luxury family car the E400d feels like a disguised S-class.
Love the interior of the e class. Yeah I love the smoothness of a 6 cylinder diesel
That's an amazing car I tested. It was on my acquisition list few years back, but ended up with a BMW 530d G31 LCI I sometimes enjoy at top speed in Germany.
simple stage 1 tune - 400bhp and 800nm, and its perfect daily
Would that be a simple remap/chiptuning? And how does the drovetrain hold up with the 400?
@@r.o7897 easily and just a tune
@@r.o7897 ECU remaps are safe for nearly all cars longevity wise, manufacturers always leave a bit out so better models can look better to customers
It's possible ؟
I have it also.
But how much bhp have it stock
top quality video for a top quality car!
Gotta say I like the modern Merc interiors more than the BMWs.
beautiful machine! mini sonder klasse indeed :))
Distronic was available in the E-class since 2003, it is beyond me why they didnt include it.
Yes, the 6 cylinder does have a effortless, laid back feel. The 4 cylinder is eager to drop a gear or two once you apply some throttle, so there is immediate lag, the driver notices a gearshift and on top of it all the 4 cylinder rattle reminds you that its a 220d. None of that in the 6 cylinder, it simply accelerates without any fuss. With that said the 4 cylinders have improved significantly in terms of noise and harshness compared to even the previous gen OM651 units. Good vid, cheers.
Great review. How does it compare to 530d xdrive ( we can't get 540d in uk), does it feel much faster ? Comfort and refinement?
love the channel :)
I had the same feeling when I once drove a 530e versus my BMW 540d. a lot more comfortable and also of high quality, even though it is the same car.
You are a driver bro 💯
I’ve had an e400d since March; upgraded from an e220d. The engine is notably smoother and quieter. Economy is pretty decent getting into the 40s without effort (struggled to get into 50s with the 2.0). It does have a disappointingly inert handling setup although if you run in sport plus it can get a little out of shape if provoked. It is fast in gear but not so much off the line. I do wonder whether they mapped it that was so that it does not outshine things like the E53.
It was a toss up between this and a 330d but on average the merc is quite a lot cheaper. Plus I think the interior of the merc is just a nicer place to be.
I think the issue is with the 400d, spec for spec compared with a 220d, it's quite expensive! I can pick up a used 220d for ~£20k mark as at current prices, but a 400d is a good £5-8k more. It's lovely that engine, but if you've got a budget on the used market it's unlikely you're going to spend the same money as a used Golf to get a better engine.
I am so hurt this isn't sold in the US
💥💥💥💥💥
Thats the one i have the gery same colour absolute beast of a car just got it a few days ago
Added bonus khn has the plate seeing as i am pathan
But mines a 2021 reg with totally different steering wheel buttons
Nice!
Which engine would you say is better- this or BMW 35/40d equivalent?
i’d still say the 40d engine is better but this is very close.
40D is better and more reliable than E400D. But both are the best in competition.
@@ParagonCarsLondoninwhat respect is it better?
E400's are the wolf in sheep's clothing
Will doing the 20 mile motorway run in sports mode not make the MPG less as well I’m sure it was still in sports mode and not comfort or eco?
it was in Eco, the display can just be changed from 3 different designs. You have a sports look (this one), normal and progressive.
@@ParagonCarsLondon ohhh very good thanks for these vids tho they are well good and helpful im going to view a e400d coupe tomorrow only 19 so probably won’t get insured on it but no one needs to know that 🤣🤣🤣🤪not letting the government and rip off insurances ruin my youth
can u test drive 2017 Audi S3 2.0L TFSI Black Edition Quattro Auto when u psot 8 days ago please
if i’ve got time i will. A lot of cars to get through at the moment
@@ParagonCarsLondon ah ok
The real quality starts at the E-class. A simple item such as the gear selector feels machined instead of the extruded nasty plastic item you get on the A - C class.
Not true and never was
@@Scouter98 so the extruded plastic item on the A class is as good as the E class then?
@@stevenbennett3922 Never cared about the a class but the gear shifter and the lever in the later generations is and always has been indistinguishable in the C and E class models
front end needs some aligning bonnet looks a touch toooooo high.
Don’t worry, we’re on it 😎
Y don’t you reset just b4 you go on the motorway not rag it like you do after you reset it
it gives a more realistic figure to what someone actually daily driving it could expect.
How does this not have adaptive cruise control, criminal.
Absolute dealbreaker. Weird it's not standard, and ever stranger someone would spec it without.
6 cylinder diesels are the engines to buy , if only they didn't have DPFs etc... only catalitic converters
Yeah except when you drive behind one and its much more pleasant if they do have emissions control systems working dont you think?
Need to replace mat Watson
bmw's 40d and 30d are way superior to this, the transmission is way better
I dont think so
