**IMPORTANT INFO**
The usable power of the PHEV in this car isn’t short as stated in the video, the brochure updated to state the USEABLE power is 218bhp and not simple the 2 power outputs combined. (262) - Auta a dopravní prostředky
Great review of the 250e, both this and the A-Class. Very informative. Keep up the great work!
Thank you for watching Colley and the nice feedback :)
Get Real 2021 Not Achievable !
Great real life review 👏🏼
Thank you number 1 fan
Great video G !! Chuckravatti

The best review I've ever seen 👍
Thank you!
Thanks for this. I’m picking up my 250e in 2 weeks 🙌🏼
Congrats!
@@GoksCarLounge It was thanks to your vid 👍🏻
Oh stop it haha
How do you compare monthly Car costs VS fuel savings 🤔
@@niceboy60 Was that for me? I get mine on 23rd, this Wednesday. But for me personally, I work from home and do 8 miles a week taking my daughter to nursery and back. So I could probably go a couple of months without putting petrol in it and only having to charge it once or twice (I’m hoping!!)
Great job 👍🏽
Thank you :)
Hi thank you for the nice review, I have two questions.
Do you thinking of trying to fastcharge(DC) this car / Mercedes in the future? To see how it works (24kw).
Question 2: is it possible to start the climate control (timer) without a pluged in car to a socket.
Hi Jonas! Thank you!
Fast charge isn’t possible on these cars, whether they will be available in the future we will have to wait and see.
Yes it is possible to pre-heat with it being connected :)
Thank you for the answers ,have just ordered one with DC Charger this week, possible in Sweden.
And the preheat cooling thing , I just wonder if that funktion works if you are not pluged in , do you know?
@@Brainar ah maybe we will have in the future for the UK then. Yes it’s possible for pre heating WITHOUT being plugged in.
@@Brainar I have the car now (in Sweden). I love it!, you can start the preheat via Mercedes me app when the battery has enough charge. It does not need to be plugged in.
@@AAlan111 Still waiting delivery, may this year, order it in Nov 2020.
Will test the preheat next autumn.
Looking forward for the first plug in hybrid for me😃
Great review!
I have a couple of questions
Do you think it had more than 200 in comfort mode because it was using both the battery and engine? Seems strange that it’d go over 160.
Which car did u think operated with the phew engine better, gla or a class?
Which car were u more comfortable in, gla or a class?
Is there a noticeable difference in weight of car between the gla and a class phev?
Thank you 😊
Hey, yes it’s more than likely the battery gave it a little boost! The A and the GLA I felt performed exactly the same, in terms of PHEV driving but the A Class is more fun and I think looks better. The GLA is more practical and is a smidge more comfortable because of its size and driving position :) and no for everyday driving for everyday drivers the weight isn’t noticeable. Hope that’s helped!
@@GoksCarLounge Sorry to but into this conversation, but was it hard to find a suitable seating position in the a-class? For an inexperienced/ new driver which car do you think would be more suitable?
A Class along with other cars in that class... like Golf or A3 are I think ideal for new drivers :)
@@GoksCarLounge That’s very helpful! I test drove the a200 but decided to go hybrid in the end so just wanted as much info as possible on the phev driving experience ☺️ thank you sounds like I made the right decision changing😆
@@user-nf5kn8sh3t I’ve driven the a class, it’s a comfortable drive ☺️
Are they available in atlanta GA? What's the price?
So the plug-in hybrid model comes with 4matic system as standard ?
No... you can have a GLA in 4matic in Diesel and AMGs, Not hybrid.
Just came across your video im interested in a plug in hybrid . I currently drive the toyota yaris hybrid but find I can only do 24mph in ev mode then the petrol engine kicks in . I m lead to believe the mercedes will do up to 80 mph in ev only mode . My commute is only 25 miles a day so want to run on ev only at a higher speed .
Great review. But have to stop because of the awful backgrond music.
Sorry! Bad move! Deffo won’t be doing it again!
With my a250e, can I just drive in petrol? If so what option is it!?
Yes it’s BL (Battery Level) it’ll still use it for lift off and very low speeds but it’s designed to preserve the “battery level” ready for when you do want to use it. :)
You star, thank you. Do you think you’ll do another a250e video, see if charging is better 🤭🤭🤭
Probably not but maybe CLA250e :) to complete the holy trinity of the “e” range
@@GoksCarLounge I’ll be waiting.
3:25 *Gave this option a ✘ tick + £6k option in the UK with Renault/mercedes 1322cc Petrol Engine) and instead went for the B200 [W247] CDi AMG Bluetec version ARGH DREADED DIESEL you might say but emissions (Co2 essential to Human life very low indeed at 109g/km- 85+ MPG UK) with all the kit {Premium +} except Sunroof which only used on very rare occasions. Full 10" Screens/Traffic Light Assist and Augmented Reality Sat Nav - Amazing ! **4:30** Tried mine in "Sport Mode" and spinning tyres up to 50 MPH and wear very noticeable on fronts - suggest swap at 5k Miles if drive like a nutter - PS HATE the Lane Assist which need to turn off before starting any journey where might exceed 37mph - The GLA250 Emissions are calculated on an algorithm that you only drive 25 Miles on Battery so are totally false*
Note after 2 attempts comment "failed to post/ censored" Free Speech -crap- Rubbish. This is where we are today in 2021- There are ways around this {if I tell you will have to Kill} but what a World we are in today !
👏🏼
the technical info states that the combined HP is 218
I am driving exactly 50 km just to go to my work, I mean in total I drive 100 km a day... I was considering buying one of these, but the only thing is that without regeneration of energy is kind of ridiculous in my opinion for a car like this, also doing the calculations IDK if worth the money, run on diesel I will get something like 50 bucks more monthly and paying less to lease another car not hybrid for example, it's kind of a false economy, I really need to think better.
I'm driving around 25km to work so perfect for me. Above that it's not worth considering
Has anyone told you you look like Gonzalo Higuaín (the Argentinian footballer)?
Haha no... but I see what you mean.
Sounds a very noisy car in the cabin. All road noise?
Mostly yea. No louder or quieter than your average hatchback
No regeneration? Disappointing. I believe the X1 25e has regen and its bigger and cheaper and no Renault engines....Great video though!
Thanks Steve. :) The 1.3 petrol aren’t Renault. It’s all Mercedes now. But I see you point, regeneration starts from the C class family upward 👍🏼
@@GoksCarLounge cheers for the reply, clearly I'm slightly misinformed re: Renault! 😁
Not completely... the A180d once upon a time did
I thought all hybrids were self charging???
@@Ryan-hj8pi I thought that too
6:35 *In Fact it's an Option whilst the German's Strategic withdrawal and re engineer Full ground up **-Panzers-** EV's capable of 300 miles+ on Batteries alone will **-annihilate-** the UK Motor Industry with the EQS **-75mm-** Range of Über 5 hundert.*
How did I Paste this Comment in 2021 ?
The total combined horsepower is 215bhp not what you have stated, I suggest you download the brochure from the Mercedes website and then maybe correct your misinformation.
If you look at the screen recording of my dash (bottom right) it says 42. If you watched the whole video I say the brochure says 37. The brochure says 218 actually not 215. I went by the fact that the battery has 102 and the engine 160. Which would total 262bhp. It’s not misinformation.
I thought the engine had 116, giving a total of 216...Mercedes brochure figures.@@GoksCarLounge
Sorry, that should be 218 total...
I went by the total output of both 160 + 102 = 262bhp, but it turns out it’s 218 which is the total amount that you can actually use..
On phev vehicles the total combined power is never the horsepower of both engines added...
There should be a Rule no Car which costs more than £40,000 , should be labelled ,cheap to run 🤔😡
.
The monthly payment for this car if you intend to Buy it , it's around ,.1,100 pounds a month using 0% RPR interest rate
.
How is this cheap to run 🤔🤦
It's not that expensive to do 30 miles in a Ice car , that's around 3 pounds in Diesel 🤔🤦
I think your facts a slightly inaccurate. These don’t cost over £40k.
£1100 a month is base on how many months? 24 month or 60?
If a £100k car cost you 50p to run = cheap. Whole point of saying “to run” is the running cost. Not cost of the car.
@@GoksCarLounge This car costs around 39,200 pounds all you need is a colour option 🤔
.
I m familiar with the Term cheap to run means running costs only
Although for (me )it does not make sense to pay around £ 1100 and then claim you are Saving £60 In Fuel 🤦
And saving £10 a month on road Tax 🤔🤷
.
I ve calculated in 36 months
I get what you’re saying. It’s a false economy. But this is the future... also it’s a review on the running costs :)
