  • The 2024 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is best defined by its high-tech features and extensive screen real estate, following the pattern seen with other recent models, such as the EQS we tested. But the extensive reworking of the next-generation E-Class is anything but conventional.

    It’s a fair review. Aside from its shortcomings, MB has done a great job of keeping a lid on pricing for the E350. I have a 2014 and it’s similarly equipped but has a sublime V6 minus the tech and it was new $66k. I bought it a year old for $42k.

      I had the same one .
      But was missing my 2002 E-350 with the rear wheel drive .
      Now I'm having 2014 S-550 . Very happy with it !

    Almost $80k and it comes with a vanilla 255 hp 4 bangers. Eww.

      Doesn’t the 48V hybrid system electric motor add boost to the 255-HP gas engine when you ask for maximum acceleration?

      Agreed, 255 and 4 banger aint nearly enough for an e class at this price.

    • @jaymum23
      @jaymum23 Месяц назад

      That produces more power than the base inline 6 it came with 40 years ago. Back when it cost $100k in today’s dollars.

    Dr. Thomas is an excellent presenter--clear and thorough. Let's see her more often.

    The dust and fingerprints on the screen would drive me insane. Also, the ambient lighting close to the windshield would annoy me as well.

    $80k for a 4 cylinder seems insane. On the other hand, that interior looks really beautiful and well-done. Compared to the 5 series and A6, this probably has the nicest interior.

    I will curious to see the full report for this. I am partial to the i6 because i suspect it will be more reliable, but the rest of the car needs to follow.

    I hope when I am still alive we get past this trend of getting carried away with the screens and other gimmicks. I have been assuming these were things younger drivers wanted so it was encouraging to hear a younger driver like yourself complain about them also. I am in the market and would otherwise consider this car (the 450...no four banger for me) but the excessive doo dads has run me off.

    standard seats are at best very average (rental in Germany), worse than an Outback (own). The dash and how everything comes together, does not make it feel luxury compared to earlier generations of luxury cars; new 5 series are also guilty of it. So much screen looks like a cost cutting exercise; you now struggle to tell the difference between the different models. As you noted the steering wheel controls are an absolute annoyance.

    • @pacmanc8103
      @pacmanc8103 Месяц назад

      To actually attempt a comparison Bette an E-class and an Outback is nonsense. The dash of the E-class exudes class (particularly the non-hyper screen versions), where metal finishes are actually metal, unlike Subaru, where they are coated plastic. Completely different leagues, sorry.

    Nothing luxurious about wiping fingerprints off the touch screen. I could plainly see fingerprints on the screen in this vid.

    I had a 1987 I think, black 560 SEL with sienna brown color interior, reclining back seats with 2 different heating modes! And heated front seats, with a little leg rest on the floor in the back. Won’t even get started on the comfort and reliability. Now I got a 1995 e320 sedan gold with beige interior much simpler , med size and better gas mileage which I actually like even better… Both were reliable like a German tank. But I would never buy Mercedes or any car above 2000 because wiring and electronic issues are constant on every modern car. I like it when my car is mostly made from gears and screws lol, and newer cars look like they’re dead with no soul lol.

    Even without the super screen which is a gimmicky this is the ultimate gadget mobile which is a lease only option for me

    $77K really good price for a fully loaded E but the Engine is so small and gutless even with that small battery. 😢. I’m sure there will be issues after 4 years after the warrantee is up. Just like every German car

    All of these gimmicks and screens are going to be a complete nightmare when it breaks. If I was a Mercedes mechanic I would throw in the towel and retire haha.

    The lighting that syncs with the music is for sex in the back seat, Mom. Just sayin' 🤣🤣
    Great review. I really wish auto companies would get their act together with those touch screens and fancy twist-'n-slide knobs though. It shouldn't take an IQ above room temperature to adjust heating and cooling or set cruise control.

    Expect a million problems when you buy this car. The simpler C class car CR tested gets a reliability score of 19 out of 100, or an F-. Besides electrical problems they have mechanical problems as well. Stay away with a ten foot pole if you know what is good for you!
