Mercedes E-Class saloon in-depth review - Carbuyer

- čas přidán 23. 06. 2024
- The Mercedes E-Class saloon is one of the world’s biggest-selling upmarket saloon cars, completing with the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6. In its latest generation, the E-Class is much like a scaled-down S-Class luxury car, such is the amount of technology and the luxurious feel it offers. Two engines are available - both diesel - and are quiet, powerful and efficient. The E-Class should certainly be on your list if you’re looking for a smart executive saloon car.

love how people say "I'm just under 5ft 11" that would be 5ft 10 then
Or it could be just over 5 foot 10.
Or 5' 10 3/4"
He looks a lot short than Matt......I doubt they're the same height
When adults say "I'm almost 5'10""...so that would be 5'9" then...you're not almost anything if you not growing mate.
+Dr Manhattan 😂 exactly
I really start to enjoy James' reviews
finally... i'm telling this since his first review
He needs some getting used to (his voice does, anyway), but since the 124 Spider review, I quite like his reviews as well.
I like this guy, he isn't shit.
Well done, James. You're definitely getting better. Good review.
Best E-Class ever! Gorgeous
"Many E Classes are used as taxis..." way to devalue a premium model...
its true though. Most E classes are taxi's :P
Much of Europe has them as standard taxis and they're mid-grade Uber cars in London.
As a proud owner of an e350 it speaks to their reliability rather than devalue them
I genuinely thought I was watching a Carwow review when I clicked on the thumbnail.
- Seems like there is no different. :)
Batch is excellent
yp I agree
this is the best review he's ever done
What a nice reviewer
A very easy to relate review, bring it to the floor level of how we see and use cars.
Great review
Nice! great presentation! This new E Class is for me maybe in next three years after all bugs work out!
Excellent review.
The E Class doesn't come with folding seats at all as standard. Please do your research
It does...
+Imran Mohammed it's a £345 option
James Cooling it doesnt
OMG this is used as taxi????in my country this is proper luxury car .
good review
Top review thanks my next taxi will be E class
i really like the tree behind
Why do you always make a fuss about the middle seat in the rear, I always sit there and it's really comfy and nothing wrong with it.
this car is classy and elegant.
The new E-class is supposed to have some of the most advanced Self-Drive outside a Tesla, I'm surprised it wasn't covered in this review, such powerful Diesel options in Europe, nice
Will you review the Ford Escape 2017?
I will buy this car very soon!
Omega Seamaster 300m looks stunning!! ;)
It does look beautiful!
Nah, Omegas are to common, just like Breitling and Rolex.
How come no review ever has shown the exclusive version instead of the avantgarde version?
It's like Mercedes doesn't want customers to know that the traditional Mercedes grille exists in the lineup.
What gives?
same
Thanks. In Denmark we get different versions. It makes sense now.
When is the Mercedes CLA facelift getting reviewed??
Now the C, E and S class all look the same. :(
which is amazing
It's not
apart from the ridiculous sports grille which they can at least save for the AMG cars
Wait for the all new CLS that is to come, it will be a killer in looks and tech like the S Coupe
+Daniel Maia I think if it does look like the s class coupe , I think people will like it.
it's just that the sports grille dosent look right on the normal cars it goes with the AMG cars because they're sporty and covered with AMG badges and look sporty
Same sausage, different length design. C E S all look identical!
I think the only difference besides the length of the car is the LED design
is it awd or fwd
I still like the w124 more lol
but one problem with that car, it isn't a car at all, it's more like a tank :D
Same
Good old W124s and W140s, BMW E30s and E36s.
Of course by the time you have paid out extra for a spare wheel, tyre, jack and wheel brace, which of course needs to go in the boot, how many ltrs of boot space do you now have?
Holy shit. They use the E class as a taxi. In my country, it's like a medium luxury car, which costs around $120k after tax
E class is also used as taxi in my country, and they cost $200k brand new..
+DeAd where the fuck do u live?!
Singapore. check out the car prices here.. its ridiculous
+DeAd indeed! Everything is expensive in this shithole
where the hell do you live? in my country everyone drives mercedes, bmw, audi, porsche pretty much
Since when was 53mpg in a full 5 seat, 2 tonne, 140mph, automatic saloon only "OK"???
That to me is incredible - a 1975 MB 200 manual would only average 22mpg & top out at 100mph, with a tailwind.
Liked the review, but lol. Brought to you from the glamourous surrounds of an industrial estate near the exotic climes of Wolverhampton....
Will you review one of the new Fiats??? Tipo saloon/hatchback/estate or the new 124 spider?
We'll review the Tipo and 124 Spider over the coming months. Watch this space!
Thank you for your answer. Can t wait i really like Both cars and you and your channel too. ;)
+Learning Worm (Idcheck) he moved to carwow
I really liked the previous split headlight design. It was kind of like the trademark of the E-Class, plus the taillights that goes into the trunk lid.
I want That Car .
I would too if they put the proper Mercedes grill on not this exclusive sports grille
+harry andrews it will be made, just can't seem to find it on the MB website. There was an 'elegance' model on the world premiere of this. It's looks much better with the traditional grille.
People who say "Oh, it's just like the c-class and the s-class", sound like this to me: "I've never sat inside any of these cars" If they'd have, they wouldn't say that
Ive sat in an e220d amg and its no where near the c but its like mini s class
My favourite is mcdys Eclas1
carbuyer and car wow are different..?
(-_\) you don't say
lol
I don't mind the C class, it's styling seems to fit it ok, as that style language is used on the larger Merc's it's seems less comfortable on the eye so to speak, the new E class and the S class seem awkward looking but the inside of those two aren't too bad. That said the only Merc sedan I'd be interested in is the C class.
you won't find a very new e class as a taxi outside Germany. Germany only cause they get subsidised.... obviously. outside that e class is generally used as an executive or chauffeured car (usually within 3 years of age). virgin airlines uses it for their premier class shuttle. really great car and more premium than others in the class in terms of fittings, trim and finish.
Finally! I don't have to complain about lesser equipment coming to India
Unusual yeah?
Well! We've got lwb baby
If you're going to be doing the driving yourself who needs an S-Class? Sure the S-Class is far superior in the back but does that matter if you're the one in the driver's seat? Then again if you're an enthusiast the Jags are probably a better bet. Anyone agree? However, I can't get over those air-con vents that fire ice-cold air at your finger tips in the Jags...And the Merc's cockpit is hard to ignore. Boy, that must be one supreme place to do your commuting.
They changed the rear view mirror
E classes have always rode beautifully on their standard suspension set ups, whereas BMW make you pay extra these days for adaptive drive. I currently drive the F10 5 Series on standard SE suspension (couldn't find a car with adaptive drive) and the motorway ride is beyond fidgety and unsettled. The wife's Q3 in S Line Plus spec rides far better!
Matt from Car Wow said the adaptive dampers on the Current 5 series makes the ride as good or better than the E Class ! So it is criminal to make that optional ! Most people won't even know about that when they buy.... or else everybody would get them !
diesel? in Malaysia, most of e class use petrol
It looks very similar to the old E Class.
Do a review of the new Volvo V90 and S90
We'll have reviews of them both in the coming months...watch this space!
Volvos are ugly and disgusting no
+Alberto 9324 The new V90 and s90 are really good looking cars big step up from volvo of old.
interceptor1986
the name volvo makes them ugly no matter what, only volvo i want is the noble m600 cause of the volvo v8
good, now, mercedes like to make every car looks alike . e->c->s-> cls->cla gla-a
Mercedes claims it will do 74.2 mpg and emit 112 grams per kilometer if C02!
nice car, but not for bad roads..
The fact its used as a taxi just proves it is the best passenger car out there.
“An assist to put the brake on when it senses someone is going to crash into the back of you”
Hmm 🤔
I like this car how it looks more like the s class than the c class
That's bad though for the people buying a Sclass, Mercedes should never have done that as the Sclass cost more then double so now the can't justify the price my friends dad ordered one and he said it has keyless entry upgraded sound system as standard etc and it costs half the price the Sclass doesn't even have keyless entry or 4 zone climate control even a A6 has that. The BMW 7 series comes with a lot more standard equipment and the key is so cool and that's standard you would have to spen around £10,000 on options for the Sclass to get what the e class has or the 7 series. The Sclass feels amazing but there isn't many cool features we drove a standard one which would be what we would get with no options a s350d AMG line and it all the cool features are options
+Chatta290 but it's better for new Mercedes buyers. you can get a car that looks just like the flagship model and costs a whole lot less.
+Shivjeet Parthasarathy I actually agree w/ u
+Shivjeet Parthasarathy and I wouldn't be surprised if they put the same grille on the s class
Shivjeet Parthasarathy yes but they already sell lots of e class vehicles and they mostly end up being taxis the only three s class beeches i have seen are new ones used as taxis but they need to make the class better as right now the s class has no advantage over the double price
They never spare the underground customer group and legal customers.
The world villains rule.
James where is your red pants
"put on the brakes if it senses someone is going to crash into you from behind"? ... Think I would rather step on the accelerator if that is going to happen :)
what happens if u are sat in traffic?, the prpose of this technology is to stop u rearending someone when u get rearended.
Yea, I get that. It's probably a good feature as we don't always keep our foot on the brake while idling in a queue or whatnot. I just find it a bit funny that the car is supposed to decide that it is not going to leap forward instead.. What if there are no cars in front?
this is also true but, i think u are verging on the edge of full automation, which is why goverments are so hesident to allow it, for example a child runs out in totbhe road does the automated car swerve to avid the child but kill u by crashing or not swerve and instead kill the child.
exactly, that was kind of my point as well. In the near future our cars might need to make such decitions for us.. At least if we only have some cars that are fully automated. I think we can go fully automatic the time when every car is "connected" via. some kind of network to each other.
Butcheren0 i agree it would be easy to remove all car on car crashes but what happens if a kid runs in to the road will the car decide to kill u or the kid thats what i want to know.
Solar resolve assumption apart drum broken stone painter willing strength part.
If I ever met this guy id give him my spare rope
How very disgustingly sick of you - absolutely vile
It's supposed to get 70 mpg and we got 50 but that's alright. No. That's not. That's false advertising
like every single car on the road bellend
It's rated at 72 mpg under ideal conditions at 100/110 km/hr. He said that they averaged 53 mpg in real world MIXED driving. No you probably will not average 72 in the real world, but the numbers are there for comparison. In my experience with rentals, Mercedes outfitted with autos always achieve stellar fuel economy, usually better than the VW Golf's I have had, mind you that is at high speed on the autobahn.
I would prefer estate
Hang on, is there no petrol option?
Nowadays no one wants a petrol car, if you do you might as well just buy a sports car. Lol
There will probably be an AMG in due course. If you want a more humble petrol option, I suggest you move to the continent.
nazhif1 the E43 4matic is petrol
If you use it as a taxi, what it most likely will in Europe
Poor quality audio system. That is if you can call it an audio system!
mistake at te beggining... " smaller C class or larger S class "
Pianoblack center console. :-( Dust magnet.
Mercedes becoming Audi. Where all models look the same and the only difference is the size and some minor details. He you wanna spend 120k on the S class? Lol noob, it looks the same even as the 30k C class. I remember the older E class with double round beams and it was stunning and unique, even the the model after that made the double round beams more like diamond shaped looked good. After it just became a generic looking car.
What is the issue with having a familiar family face? The W140 S Class, W124 E Class and W202 C Class all looked near identical especially from the front. All they are doing now is going back to what they used to do. Why does it matter if it looks the same? I buy a car for myself not for others to look at. If one drives an S Class you are driving the best luxury sedan around if one drives a C Class you are driving one of the best compact executive saloons around. The C Class is still for a different buyer than the S Class. The S Class has more space and rear seats can recline etc etc. So I don't care that they look similar because they still look good and I couldn't care less whether people think the E Class is a C Class or whatever. I buy the car for myself not for other people. Most car people WILL be able to tell the difference and most people who are not in to cars wouldn't care anyway because I know people who don't even know what certain cars are even if they all look entirely different because they're just not into cars.
why like an audi, bmw cars also look the same
Difference is that the Mercedes looks good, among the best in every class compared to Audi that only put out bad looking cars lol, Q7 looks bad.
all that money and you don't even get front fog lamps? smh
No spare wheel
Rear light clusters are too small for such a large car. They look wrongly proportioned
Why is there always water on the cars in the UK car reviews?- a concerned Californian
This is just a stab in the dark...but maybe because it rains?
ha ha!!!
those screens are nice, but I prefer analog clusters

he seems a bit light on his feet. Where is Matt?
Another German car company copying other car makers. This looks somewhat similar to an Infiniti and Hyundai.
Sorry but mercs are still just so old fashioned and always look so yesterday.
Dull looking car .
Can someone tell me what happened to Matt , this guys very.😴boring
rram761
Matt went to Carwow to swap with the new people on carbuyer
Great car I'm sure but boring as...
I actually don't like this
ugly car
Don't care what anyone says. it's a boring looking car.
