*CORRECTION: Hey Guys, apologies when talking about the engines, I mentioned V6 on the E53 which is not correct. It is a straight six engine featuring EQ Boost technology that outputs 435hp 💨
Any tips, known issues for checking when buying a used youngtimer E300e from this year and model with around 30k km on it? Or are 'Certified Mercedes' used-cars always a save buy with the 2 year guarantee?
Hey edwin2323, really sorry I’ve not worked on cars in that way so wouldn’t know for anything specific to look for. But if I was shopping for a car, I’d always check the usual things, condition of the interior/ exterior, tyres, brake pads, brake discs, cables for charging the car and of course all the spec and gadgets in a car. Haven’t heard of a 2 years warranty, I could have sworn it was a 1 year warranty as Mercedes dealerships but check with them and they can let you know. The battery I believe has a 6 year warranty which is pretty good. On a test drive, if I was buying one, I’d have it fully charged and drive up to 40mph / 60mph and just test the range of it and see how it performs. But if you’re buying from a Mercedes dealer they’ll be doing a lot of checks anyway but no harm in looking yourself 👍🏼
@@npoleary ive come from a C43, so the only adjustment is to MBUX. I've watched your other videos which have really helped. Purchased from the Southampton dealership, not far from you 😉
First class video once again Nick, though Hey! I don’t know how you resisted a chat with Mercedes! 😂. That is a massive interior. I must remember to enter the Postcode lottery.😂😂🇬🇧🇲🇹
Just thought I'd check this out as I've recently picked up a new C220d and I'm rather annoyed the instrument panel isn't customisable like in my old A Class (8:34), I guessed that the E would be the same as it's a very similar setup whereas the C is similar to the S. Grr, wish I could customise my instrument panel!
Hey Jealy, ah the new multimedia systems have completely different features one of which are the themes of course on the instrument cluster but because of this each dial can’t be configured like in older models
Hey dude, yeah it seems to stupid to me to that they would omit that feature, I use the classic panel and have to stare at an "old fashioned" speedo and rev counter! Would much prefer to be able to customise it... Do you know if they're customisable in the S Class?
No sadly not it’s just a different feature set on this new portrait screen MBUX I think the approach is just pre set themes instead of the previous way
Hey thomaspajor, I would love to however it’s a rare one in the UK. On UK specification it’s only available on GLC 63’s currently. I will cover heads up display in the future but I just waiting to get my hands on a car to do it.
Hey Ken, oh I’d never say they’re a waste of time. Yes you’re right that some people do utilise them for tax purposes but for me, all of my journeys are under 15 miles each day. I could run on electric alone for 90% of the time and then use the engine for longer journeys. I’d love one!
Hi Nick, I didn't expect a reply, but thank you. I've enjoyed all your videos and found them very helpful in my New E400d Estate, which has a proper engine and fuel I know I can use and how far it will go. We will have to differ on PHV's I suspect. I would consider a full electric car, but My New E400d Estate will last me till I push up the daisies. Thanks again and keep up the good work.
Hi. Great video and very informative. Do you know if the 12.3 inch screens have been replaced in the E class to the smaller 10.25 screens? Cheers Steven
Brilliant review, you've fast become the face of mecedes! This thing would haul caravans like they weren't even attached. Just a thought actually with the camping craze at the minute, what would be the most suitable for towing mid size vans but not an suv?
Thanks Kevin! Oh don’t know about that! Haha 😅 Yes you’re absolutely right, camping has definitely gone up in popularity! Honestly probably C-Class or E-Class if you didn’t want to go for an SUV 🤓
Once thats done their will be a few people buying old stock of current face lift C and E Class; would love to see an overview like you’ve done on current C Class estate 👍 Keep up the great work.
VERY informative as ever. Is it better to keep a MB GLE locked or unlocked in home garage : when unlocked front ventilation grille stays opening and closing every 10 mins or so and occasionally headlamp turns spontaneously on. This seems to stop when locked. Is there official advice please?
Hi Alan, I would definitely recommend locked, if you left it unlocked it could leave it vulnerable for theft and it may also use more power from battery when not in use. The vents on the front will open and close automatically when the car’s running to help the engine warm up faster and thus making it more economical.
hi Nick, I’m waiting for a new car exactly like this. please could you check/confirm me the size tires. the rims are standard 18”amg line. Front: 245x45x18 Rear: 275x40x18 Thank you very much in advance
Hi Flavio, really sorry as I don’t want to give you the incorrect information. It’s best to check the actual car as this could possibly vary from country to country and model to model.
For me I’d always stick with black, however it is nice to see some other options from time to time. The lighter colours do require cleaning more often but that’s the same with anything that isn’t black.
@@npoleary Yes Petrol. It's the M256 engine which is the same engine (modified) as in the E53. In the E450 it has 367 HP + 22 HP EQ Boost (it's a mild hybrid). It's available in all body types including the Estate and All Terrain :)
Oh my yes you’re absolutely right! I’m not sure why I said that! I must have had a C 43 in my mind when saying it! 😅 I’ll pin a comment to the top, thank you for letting me know
Hey Bob, Already covered the B-Class 🤓 ruclips.net/video/hM2KoML32ic/видео.html Wasn’t planning on making a specific video on AMG line though as it’s the same same shape but just a little sportier looking 🤓
So for the majority of Mercedes (when I produced this video at my local Mercedes some time ago) most models were wired Apple CarPlay which is why I offered the dongle / adapter. Of course you can connect via Bluetooth and some models offer wireless charging, just depends on the spec of the car.
Thank you for the great video Nick. I wonder do you know when we can expect to see the redesigned (2022) C-class in Mercedes dealerships? I'm comparing that model with the 2019 B Class with the premium plus package. I'm considering whether I should wait to buy a new C-class or buy a B-Class(2019) now..
Aha 😇 New C-Class pricing and spec should be released for the UK later this month. Subject to the worldwide chip / semi conductor shortage, it was scheduled by around September time. So I hope it doesn’t get delayed!
Criminal from Mercedes!!@ This looks exactly the same as the new shape A class from the front, just stretched out! Used to be a massive fan of the E class but Mercedes are copying and pasting their cheapest model design on all their cars these days

Me too! 😅
@@npoleary 👍🙏🏼
Very informative. Thanks, Nick! 👌
Thank you! 🤓
What happens to the power output once the battery is fully depleted?
Guess it wouldn’t be 320hp 🤔
It would be less, it’ll just be similar to what the engine does on it’s own 🤓
Picture quality not good for some reason Nick
Is that the video quality? I know RUclips changed settings recently so you have to opt to see it in 4k now
Just on settings on the bottom 🤓

I want to know how many 2021 E63s wagons were made. I been told that there are or just a few made for the United States. How do I find the numbers?
Hi Steven, oh I wouldn’t know
I’m sure the USA has a website just like the UK. I’ve stumbled across this before: www.howmanyleft.co.uk
Please do a video abort the 2021 GLC head up display when driving….. ?
Hey thomaspajor, I would love to however it’s a rare one in the UK. On UK specification it’s only available on GLC 63’s currently.
I will cover heads up display in the future but I just waiting to get my hands on a car to do it.
this is a computer with steeringwheel and motor? Appmachine more like it. How does this compare to BMW 530e touring?
Hey Midnight Mozes, sadly not checked out the BMW 530e Touring before so not sure!
Hi Nick, I will never have another PHE, Waste of money and time, buit great for TAX. I'm back in an E400d Estate, MAGIC! Thank you

Hey Steven, Thank you!
I believe so yes, E-Class Saloons & Estates have two digital 10.25 screens as standard

No problem 🤓
I would bet your insurance company would not honour a theft or breakin claim if it was unlocked, garage or no garage.

Hey nick
I am interested in the new classe E coupe … could you do review on it please ?
Hey João, I’d love to but sadly haven’t managed to get my hands on one yet.
Added to the list of potential future videos though I get the chance!
@@npoleary no worries … thanks for your response !
What interior couloir would you go for Nick?
For me I’d always stick with black, however it is nice to see some other options from time to time.
The lighter colours do require cleaning more often but that’s the same with anything that isn’t black.
No E450 in the UK?
No, I haven’t heard of that one before on the E-Class Estate. Is that a petrol model?
@@npoleary Yes Petrol. It's the M256 engine which is the same engine (modified) as in the E53. In the E450 it has 367 HP + 22 HP EQ Boost (it's a mild hybrid). It's available in all body types including the Estate and All Terrain :)
Ah! It’s often like that with certain countries having certain engine variants etc
The 53 version is an awesome bit of kit! Have you driven it?
Nick. The 3 litre petrol is a straight 6 not a V6 as you said.
Oh my yes you’re absolutely right! I’m not sure why I said that! I must have had a C 43 in my mind when saying it! 😅
