When I bought my Mercedes 2 years ago, I binge watched your CLA videos Nick, they really helped me out. I love Mercedes as a brand, and now work in a Merc Dealership. Every single employee knows about you, and I've lost count of the number of times I've recommended your channel to customers. This is the only Mercedes Benz channel I and many others watch, your knowledge is outstanding😃
Another cracking video. Thanks Nick. I have a 2022 e300e plug in hybrid, that has so many extras that satisfy me. (Until today). It even has a light on a flexible metal stick that the passenger can use to read at night. I’ve never seen that on any other car, but what you have just reviewed, wow. A tech. freak like myself would be in heaven. Fantastic video again Nick. Mercedes should give you a S Class for your own personal use, because of all of the cracking videos you make for them.
A couple of years ago on a trip in France, I met a German motorcyclist who was one of the lead engineer’s responsible for programming the E Class aircon system. He was a really interesting guy, and explained how complex the entire system was to create, programme and actually make work! Great review, found your channel by accident and have since subscribed!
Nice review! I have the 2023 "All Terrain" version (we can't get the "normal" wagon here in the States, just the AT or the AMG). I'm disappointed in the climate controls - still all physical switches in the '23. And we still have the rear-facing folding seats, which are great for belting in the dogs! It's also good for hiding the dog hair, as most of it is hidden when you close back up the seats. I do like some of the upgrades to the tech, and the vents being still manual is a huge plus - motorized-only vents just seem pretty silly to me, and also dangerous while driving. Since these do both that's fine - no need to fuss with menus or worry about the motors dying later on.
Thank you! Yeah there’s certainly a load of tech! I’m not sure there are many models out there now that have rear facing seats across all manufacturers (here in the UK anyway)
@@npoleary Thanks Nick, best wishes and good luck with the event. ✌️🫶 can send you the selfie we took this afternoon. Enjoy the rest of the event! 🚗🚕🚙🏎️🛻🚘⭐️💫
Weeks back I asked you about the GLB…comparing it to my W207’s power…I decided to trade up to the E200 exclusive (mini S class)! I can’t wait! Great review！
Dimensions - great videos Nick but when you share dimensions it would be helpful to compare to the previous model so we know how it compares in relative terms. So is it longer, taller, wider etc.
Thanks for the feedback! Always looking to make the videos better! 🙏🙏 I’ll work on something like that for the future, although the next few videos at least have already been filmed so bear with me 🤗
Nice to see a more integrated screen in that car. Thanks for the update. You seem enthusiastic about it. The problem with touch-screen buttons is that it's not hard at all to swipe one unintentionally while driving. I get that Mercedes expects some degree of precision from drivers, to match their precision engineering, but I'd prefer the slightly-clumsy-accommodating positive response push buttons.
I’m all for tech in a car! 🤓 I have a similar steering wheel in my own car and it depends where your hands are placed. But personally I would prefer physical buttons overall. But I love the design 👌🏼
Thanks for a great review as always Nick. Lovely car and I must be getting old, but I like the interior colour. Also a massive positive is the ash ( admittedly plastic ) trim rather than the shiny plastic used in far too many MBs. A couple of things I’m not a fan of are the vents being controlled via the screen. Seems to answer a problem we didn’t have? I’m not getting the MB star attempt on the back lights. Seems a bit of a clumsy effort for me, to shoe horn in a potentially clever idea. All in all a much more aesthetically pleasing car than an EQE and I want that super screen ….. providing it’s not too reflective 😂.
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it! I think the vents just gives people a choice, the trend out there is going for a more minimalistic approach but this way it offers the best of both worlds 🤓
I love my new E300e estate - the tech takes a bit longer to adjust to than my previous E220d but once you master it it’s just there as you want/ need. The driving assist package is brilliant - almost hands free but really keeps you safe and relaxed. It’s comfortable, quiet, efficient (I’ve covered 500miles almost all electric and not used a ¼ tank!) and fun! I use the built in dash cam with memory stick - very clear images. P.S. I don’t work for Mercedes!
Yes the driving assistance features on Mercedes latest vehicles are brilliant, perfect for those long drives! I’d love to try out some more plug-in hybrids, some of their new ones have very good range!
The E is a great car of course. I'm yet to come to terms with the black plastic grille surround. When i first saw it in the showrooms i thought the grille looked awful. It's a 'me' problem & I'm sure I'll get used to it the more i see on the road 🤷🏼♀️
I took delivery of an E300e - the PHEV version. The length of the estate boot is no different to the non PHEV - just a bit less depth but good for golf and sailing stuff! However no underneath hidden space for the cables and First Aid/ tyre kit! 😲
Yeah I’ve heard it’s flat for the new plug-in hybrids. Awesome! Sadly hybrids are always like that as that’s where the battery goes usually in the boot so no underfloor storage. I get it though, a place for the cable would be good 👍🏼
Lovely review, thanks and just subscribed. Be great if you could get hold of the E450d for a test. Not seen that done anywhere yet, but it could be the perfect E class. A smooth V6, all that torque and 40+ mpg. Hybrids are fine, in fact I have a 2018 E350E and I've done 80k happy miles in it, but it's heavy and I can feel that weight in every corner and the air suspension is compromised because of that.
Ah brilliant thank you! 🙏 Yes I’m sure that engine is beautiful! I’ve driven ones similar before and they are so quiet but boy do they have power when you need it! Oh wow that’s cool, love a plug-in hybrid, they do add a bit of weight yes. Hopefully newer ones are a little lighter!
Another cracking review Nick! Looking at the new E-Class Estate side view - Is it my imagination or have M-B slightly borrowed the more "swoopy" rear window profile from their beautiful (but now discontinued) CLS Shooting Brake?
Yeah possibly! 🤓 shame the CLS Shooting Brake stopped, I liked that one. It was more like a “stylish” estate for people who don’t like the boxy look. Glad you enjoyed the video! 😎
All this tec. Looks brilliant and great novelty value BUT, once you have made the driver settings you might hardly touch most of it, AND all the tec is so dangerous to use whilst driving, taking your eyes off the road. I am about to swap my CLA for an Audi A3 with much more physical button for things like heating controls. I am convinced these will end up being laws on what controls make you take your eyes off the road, very much like mobile phone use. Very good review Nick, but over complex tec for me
Very true, same for my A-Class. I very rarely change settings (apart from ambient lighting, I always swap between blue and blue and red 😂 I can never make my mind up) Touchscreen tech does just needs to used sensibly, I completely get that and always with full attention on the road. Glad you enjoyed it!
They’ve removed that on the new one now, it used to have that. However the new one allows you to change the pattern but sadly no Union Jack this time round: czcams.com/video/YLlh_MBBOSQ/video.htmlsi=S86I_tID4L6XeYzw
As long as you have Augmented Reality then you’ll be able to toggle that on in settings on the navigation menu. Augmented reality is the one where it shows a live camera feed when navigating around.
Just googled it but couldn’t find anything. They look like normal vents 😅 I must have been searching for the wrong thing, my knowledge on Lexus’s is very minimal 😂
Fair enough, I hadn’t heard of that one but I know that engines do vary round the world. I think I drove something similar on a GLE or GLS once in the states when I was on holiday 🤓
Thanks for showing the passenger media menu looks like you might be able to access Bluetooth content list. I hope we get the All Terrain version again at some point. The rear seats in the previous one were really poor no room and you couldn’t get your feet under front seats without driver being on the roof. Is this one noticeably bigger in the back?
That’s alright! Ah that would be good! 😊 I think so, there’s plenty of leg room although it does depend how low the driver’s seat is though so might be worth a test 👍🏼 I had it not completely down low just a little bit raised
head rest looks ugly and cheap. The screen only design means the bezels around the screens are full of piano black, which is uncomfortable when the sun hits. Other than that, it's very difficult to fault the design of this car, both exterior and interior. Very nice review!
Not covered the Volvo Estates yet but I would like to! 🙏 Also this is a brand new model? It’s only just started to appear in their showrooms…have you already been in one?
Great review as always. There's much to like about this car, and good to see that the basics are little different to my S212. However, I do have an issue with tech for tech's sake - for example, why would you need a reminder to open the boot if you need to open the boot?! And (imo) those rear lights are a bit tacky - more Chevrolet-esque than Mercedes.
Thank you! 🙏 Those recommendations or suggestions can be toggled off via a quick screen change (there’s a different layout). I think it’s more for quick access stuff rather than reminders though.
Yeah sure! On certain specifications, you can have an air freshener / diffuser built into the system. Vials are replaced in the glovebox. There is also an ionisation button to purify the air into the cabin.
Hey Nick, sorry quick one but not about this video. Last month I updated MBUX 2.4 the latest version on my W206 C220d here in Spain. Since I’ve been getting blank screens and things not working like parking sensors and cameras, re boot needed twice now. Have you heard anything about this issue? Thanx Lee
Hey Lee, no sadly I've not experienced anything like that on my own car, and although I try to reply to everyone on my channel, I certainly haven't read any comments indicating the same thing. Might be worth reaching out to a dealer if you've got some issues or something. You could try a multimedia system reset which may help clear whatever the issue is though, just bear in mind you'll need to re-pair your phone and add any sat nav destinations / settings back in again. To reset, it's HOME, SETTINGS, SYSTEM & RESET. Then Yes & Yes. One thing to note, this does not affect your Mercedes me account from what I've seen
you don’t really need so many screns lnthe car because you better use anything apart from heating system and the Soundsystem legroom on the back is rubbish. Volvo V 90 has back seats.
@npoleary I didn't know it had it until it went wrong. It was an E250 AMG premium plus estate. I only sold it in June. I miss it, and it's size.113000 miles with full MB history. I have a 2023 CLA 220d shooting brake. 70 to the gallon is amazing.
Hi Nick I have a 2021 E class with the twin AMG spoke steering wheel like your car . There is two ways of checking the oil level. First way shows you low middle high but the other way through the service settings will show you very accurately but I can only find a video on the previous steering wheel how to do this . Can you advise maybe a video on this for helpfulness in your tips and tricks thinking 🤔. ? Any help would be much appreciated..
Ah very nice! 👌🏼 Funnily enough I’m at the British Motor Show this weekend helping my local dealer out with manning a stand and chatting with everyone (back to videos on CZcams though on Monday 😂) I asked them that here and they sadly wouldn’t tell me. It’s only for technicians and Mercedes staff. I’m sure someone will figure it out though somewhen and make a video. I think the reason is because you can actually mark that the car has been serviced which is irreversible. In the wrong hands it can mess it up!
@@npoleary Hi Nick thank you for replying I really appreciate it 👍 When I get my car serviced at the main dealership they keep under filling the oil . I have asked why is it not at the max level ? . They said they like to under fill them as if they go slightly over it a pain to drain them down. So this is why I am asking why can’t they go into the service settings and check the oil level and get it correct. So I was hoping to find out how to check it on the twin spoke steering wheel and next time as I am not happy with them leaving the oil half way minimum and Maximum. . And be able to check it myself next time before I leave, if they are under filling every car this can not be good and second how much oil are they saving over the year. Other customers may not notice this but I do . Love the videos keep the great content coming 👍
Ah thank you! Oil is a bit different to fuel though. Best place for oil is anywhere in between min and max. That’s what is aimed for. It doesn’t need to be near max. www.motoringassist.com/news/why-max-is-not-always-right
The boot space in my W213 is now taken up by a spare wheel as i can't wait three hours for the RAC. And it won't fit under the floor anymore. And the engine has had to be repaired because of a known common fault because of poor design.... My W212 however is still going strong with 400k on it and very few engine issues.
When the previous E-Class came out years ago, there was no mention of the All-Terrain. But it came out shortly after. So the same “could” happen again, we’ll have to wait and see!
I do love the look of the e class, I am looking at possibly getting the previous model (2020/2021 ish ) e200h, but I'm torn between that & an audi a6 avant s line
Yeah me too! Sadly not covered Audi on my channel yet, maybe in the future but I’ve heard good things. You’ll have to try both and see how you get on 😎
Just gives people a choice 🤓 The only thing with SUV’s is that usually due to their shape, running costs are slightly higher especially if they have 4-wheel drive systems like Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC. It’s not always the case though, but typically because they’re not as aerodynamic you can see a slight increase. But I do appreciate how practical they are!
Love this car, what do you guys think? I'll reply to all of you below! 👊🏼

Hi Nick thank you for replying I really appreciate it 👍
When I get my car serviced at the main dealership they keep under filling the oil . I have asked why is it not at the max level ? . They said they like to under fill them as if they go slightly over it a pain to drain them down. So this is why I am asking why can’t they go into the service settings and check the oil level and get it correct.
So I was hoping to find out how to check it on the twin spoke steering wheel and next time as I am not happy with them leaving the oil half way minimum and Maximum. . And be able to check it myself next time before I leave, if they are under filling every car this can not be good and second how much oil are they saving over the year.
Other customers may not notice this but I do .
Love the videos keep the great content coming 👍
Ah thank you! Oil is a bit different to fuel though. Best place for oil is anywhere in between min and max. That’s what is aimed for. It doesn’t need to be near max.

Glad you love the videos! Working on the next one as we speak! 😎
The boot space in my W213 is now taken up by a spare wheel as i can't wait three hours for the RAC. And it won't fit under the floor anymore. And the engine has had to be repaired because of a known common fault because of poor design.... My W212 however is still going strong with 400k on it and very few engine issues.
Where's the E450 All-Terrain!
When the previous E-Class came out years ago, there was no mention of the All-Terrain. But it came out shortly after. So the same “could” happen again, we’ll have to wait and see!
I do love the look of the e class, I am looking at possibly getting the previous model (2020/2021 ish ) e200h, but I'm torn between that & an audi a6 avant s line
Yeah me too! Sadly not covered Audi on my channel yet, maybe in the future but I’ve heard good things.
You’ll have to try both and see how you get on 😎
@@npoleary theres a video opportunity for you there, a comparison, e class estate vs a6 avant
Absolutely!
Are there voice commands?
Yes absolutely! “Hey Mercedes” and it can do all sorts of things: czcams.com/video/MApm3Nr6qd4/video.html
@@npoleary Makes life so much easier.
Well they can’t really improve much to the car itself so they repackage and add tech.
Well the ride quality is better than before, it’s almost touching S-Class levels now. Not quite, but it’s almost there
Seems unnecessary in a world full of SUV's and crossovers.
Just gives people a choice 🤓
The only thing with SUV’s is that usually due to their shape, running costs are slightly higher especially if they have 4-wheel drive systems like Mercedes-Benz’s 4MATIC.
It’s not always the case though, but typically because they’re not as aerodynamic you can see a slight increase. But I do appreciate how practical they are!
The performance is great but Looks like a undertaker car , bad Mercedes design, sorry
What sort of Estate do you like the look of? 🤓
@@npoleary more of a sporty look
So maybe if this one had an AMG engine and AMG styling or another car brand like Audi or BWM or something? 🚗 💨
