The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is a brilliant executive saloon. Sharp to look at - yet discreetly styled -- the car offers a high quality interior and impressive handling. An extensive engine range and three trim levels create plenty of choice. Even the cheapest E200 CDI turbodiesel models deliver good performance, while economy throughout the entire range impresses too. It might not drive with the precision of a BMW 5 Series or Jaguar XF, but the E-Class betters both for comfort and safety. The range-topping E500 and E63 AMG models provide impressive performance, with the E63 delivering an incredible 525bhp from its high-revving 6.2-litre V8 engine.

13 years later and it still looks great.
That is the sign of a classical design.
The original 212 will become collectable in the future.
Good to hear. I'm trying to keep my 2012 in 'like new' condition. I get regular offers but they do not understand the condition of my car. It really is close to being new and has been dealer maintained since day one. As Mercedes is taking the subframe into their charge for replacement, the car will really be almost like new.
@@fuffoon It's a lovely car Mark, I have owned a few older E Classes and lust after a 212 which I will get soon. My 1991 Land Cruiser deserves a semi retirement so I have an excuse to posses an E Class again.
Get some wax treatment done every few years and it will last forever.
What is the story about the subframe, is it a recall?
the sound the rear door made when he closed it is why i like this car ..
@Giao Tran THUD!. Love it.
just got a 2013 E250 CDI in 2022 still looks modern and drives like a dream 😁
I wish to buy one
But still can’t afford one
2019:
RUclips: allow me to introduce a 2010 video
Why hello there, pleasure to meet you.
2020.. and still cannot afford it
Hahahaua you are not alone my friend , time will come for us too
I just got one coated me 18k euros 200k km driven
@Dragos Dascal in germany from 9k euros to 30 or 25
@@almighty9662 wow in the US im about to buy a 2011 e350 for 17k with 25k miles (40k km) I gotta check it with a odb scanner tho
same here
E-Class... Best series of cars ever!!!
Yes I regret selling mine and getting a C class which is nice but i miss the E refinements and comfort
The car may appear very expensive but the E class is a very advanced car with many innovations such as the "Attention assist" which was innovated by Mercedes along with PRE - SAFE that uses several sensors and ESP to prepare the car for a possible accident if it senses loss of control, the car then tensions the seatbelts, moves the seats into a more favorable position and closes windows and sunroof to prevent being ejected from the car. I have one and i am very pleased with it,never let me down.
Best sharp MB Eclass ever....i agree with with Matthew it really holds its value
Off centre steering wheel, foot operated parking break...he bangs on about these two things in every bloody merc review
+sabbage100 yeah ive noticed that too
+rscosworthfan me too
I have an e250, haven't noticed any offset in the steering wheel at all
mariconor That's because your blind.
The Truth or not british.
Stop complaining about the positions of the steering and pedals , these cars were originally designed with them on the other side.
Oh man, I loved this iteration of the E Class, loved those double headlights. Hate the most recent version, you can´t tell an S class from an E or C Class...each MB range used to have defining traits which made you identify them inmediately. Now they have gone the cheap slut Audi way, in which every car looks like a scaled version of the flagship car.
This comment didn't age well. Now all mercs look like oversized A class which is sad :/
Watching this in 2021 is gold
I love your reviews better than top gear ..... very informative as well .... keep up the good work mate cheers!
this guy should be on top gear his reviews are great
12 years later he's one of the best on this side of youtube haha
E-class might not have any of the bling-bling lines, but its just so balanced looking car. Time-less design!
Fantastic design, so much better than what they're making now
I really love this car. Absolutely my favourite.
The best Looking E class!
Didn't expect to see mat Watson reviewing cars 13 years ago
2022 and I just brought a 2012 e class
I've driven one of these on a 80mile trip after a 13hour day and to be honest it was difficult to get comfy and you sit quite low to the floor, (that said iam 6foot 4 ), it was a very relaxing cruiser on the motorway, for pottering around town it's a bit of an akward bus.
It's strange there is something about having the Merc emblem always in your line of sight that gives the driver a prestigious feeling. Great car. Note skoda seem to have used the double front lights on the 2018 superb....
I cam imagine that the Mercedes badge thing u mention might be appealing to real people like us. Had a mercedes before, same era as this. It was nice
1st owner 2012 E250CDI wagon. I was told by many how sorry I would be and get killed on repair costs. I am happy to say that they were wrong, the car is very reliable and Mercedes is taking the subfame issue in their charge so I will pay all the litle new pieces to rebuild the entire rear suspension, they provide subframe and lots of labor. Labor is 3/4ths of the cost. It like winning a lottery for me. I'm afraid its going to be my transportation for the next 20 years.
_look, it's the funny carwow guy._
I think a love this channel !
Awesome reviews.
I see that this saloon has a manual gearbox. is it choice or fuel economy that finds the manual in you E class.
Very quiet and powerful car to drive, I have just got one E250 2012 model in Malaysia
The C class is also a very nice car as my dad test drove one. i suggest the 2012 model with the updated interior which looks better than the old one, it includes more chrome trim and the sat nav is fitted into the dash like the E clases. The C class isn't quite as advanced as the E but it does come with PRE - SAFE :)
As standard the avantgarde package comes with xenon or not?
Cant wait to see a review of the new 2013 E-Class. SE Spec is very generous!!!
that the handle is run the center?
por que el manubrio esta corrido del centro?
So which is better, an s320 or the e class... For ultimate comfort.
Which car would be better for Chauffeuring BMW 5 series or Mercedes E- Class???
My employer provided me with two E-class MBs over the years. Each was very pleasant to drive but the service problems made them nightmares for the company. All sorts of things went wrong.
When I had to buy my own car I switched to a Lexus LS and will never return to the German brands. Handling isn't quite as precise, but, in my opinion, in all other respects, it's significantly superior.
This guy should be a car sales man.
is the mercedes service expensive? cause we want to buy a E250... any suggest ?
Also it is for safety many people have flown through the wind shield and have had their body ripped in half. It's not like it moves around when you hit bumps or anything.
Who is watching this in 2021 lol
LOL ITS Mat Watson here from carwow
Matt watson has really come a long way since
depends on the model. If it's built after 2010 they're supposedly not as prone to need repairs because some problems in the design were solved. If you need serious repairs, the parts are more expensive than your average car - if you get any work done at a mercedes partner garage you can also expect up to twice the average cost for work. ;)
Unless you get a car that has serious problems though I'd say it's all still acceptable. The car is very nice and comfortable.
@uptown000 i am not sure maybe im just taking a guess...but i THINK that its like this only on the right hand drive models like the ones u have in UK...ive driven some mercedes here in germany with the left hand drive of course, and the steering position never bothered...well im not sure tho..
Does anyone know what this song is please?
We'll get this next year
Can someone confirm that an remapped E220 is not the same as an E250 ?
Does the E250 has stronger material ? What about the looks ?
I know for example that on a BMW 330 and 325 they use different parts & the body is wider !
325 wider than 320? You sure?
HAHAH this guy is funny i love it xD we share the same humour style. more please! Nice stimulant wakeup in the back seat. yes my 'busy stressful executive life' hahahahah soo true!!! i think i fit the stereotype quite well
How much does it cost in 2018?
Very fair and well done review. Personally I really love the new E Class. I would favour the Mercedes over the outstanding opposition, because it excels at what the E Class has always done best. Superb ride and comfort with understated elegance.
supposedly a BMW has a bit more of a "sport" touch to it than Mercedes E. E class drives very smooth though. Personally I prefer the electronics and interior packages of the Mercedes more, but both are great cars.
Wiggle protects it from breaking in the car wash. It is not a cheap glue on emblem. It holds up for a very long time. If stolen it is several 100 dollars to replace.
i love that the parking brake is on the pedal on the floor. once i let a friend drive my -83 w123 240D and he was like, where do i release the handbrake?? theres no lever! i said pull that knob to your left, and he did that and kept braking, releasing and braking again and again cus he thought its was so unusual. ;)
i never really "clicked with the exterior" of this model of the E-class, i loved the previous model though
Can you do the estate please???
Thanks, Mat.
Why is it...when someone reviews a merc they always say it's handling is not up to bmw sportiness...since when is a bmw the benchmark saloon.
Some people prefer luxury over sportiness...if this is not true,then why are mercs so desired
They are both great cars. Traditionally Mercedes have always had the better ride quality while BMW provides better handling. Even with all the adjustable dampers and sensors, it's very hard to be the best at both
Because their all boy racer beemer fans
yes i need some extacy and some carl cox music, then i love this car ;)
Great review
Omg carwow well I will. Call. You that cause I don't know your name even after watching handreds of our videos.. Damn brother you been doing this for a long time.. I love your reviews unfortunately still can't afford any of the cars your showcase 😂😂.. Maybe soon I will get that E300
I like the Merc's foot handbrake setup
Listen to that symphony at 0:39! Hear that door shut?
why isn't there any 250 models here in Canada??
@miguelitolitolito that shows how good the quality is and how safe it is.. so after all its not that bad
@einbewegung doni holz was talking about the E 500 with AMG package.
Damn 10 seconds in and i just realized that's mat from carwow.
@bratwa what do you mean?
very nice
I also tip my hat to Mercedes. Wonderful cars.
2019 i just got e350 distronic plus and costed me 18k euros 200k km driven
Another level
@BabkenBMW With respect, it depends what you really want . Always a case of personal choice. Of course they are both magnificent cars.
Darnt....they took away my one wiper and went to 2 wipers. No more eccentric sweep!
@bratwa i could understand you if you ment s klass, but you make no sense meaning e klass. an e klass as everyday car is great with manual , and e klass as cruising/spare time using could have automatic.
i have never own a mercedes only volvo but this mercedes looks good
That car is amazing, my father owns 1
In the past the emblem was stolen a lot, they were metal and were pretty expensive to replace. They use plastic instead of metal now.
Why would you use a manual gearbox at this level? It's not like it's the sport AMG version...
I like the humor in your reviews.
Do you guys export to African countries??
I get the impression that he freaking loves this car
I've been thinking about one of these but that offset steering wheel has put me right off
I've never really felt twisted, in my C class, like you've said in your review. I didn't even feel like the steering wheel was offset either, it seemed just perfect for me.
And true the foot operated parking brake takes a while to get used to.. But you appreciate it once you do :) Unless you plan on taking your car for drifting.
5 series is a real man’s car
you can get CLS or any AMG or SL/SLK if you want something exciting...
ما شاء الله ❤️
@bratwa where on earth did i write s-klass?? you even wrote e klass yourself. besides a w108 would be real nice, like a 250S with manual, loads of them..
OMG it's Mat Watson from CARWOW. Never tell me the odds
I'm thinking of getting one
Tanisha Adjo I WOULD HAVE TO SLEEP IN THAT THING???
Any plans for a review of the new version???? cant wait to see one!!!
Does navigation come as standard?
alan chiam Nope.
My family owned five Mercedes, you can wiggle the 3-point star badge all you want.
just so u people know this body style stilll looks better than the 2020 one......put them side by side
i did ....and when that salesman came back with the approval he said ok wich one you want
man it took me 3hrs to decide
it was either a 2019 e class or a 2011 e class.. just like this one!
hands down i chose the 2011
see kids.... its all about the stance!! and the 2011 had a better stance.
not to mention i will never buy anything with air ride again.
Completely agree. Pre facelift w212 is the greatest looking e class ever alongside the w124.
Just got a Mercedes ad on this lollolll
This is the best car ever
@CarSpotsBelgium .....perhaps BMW, Audi, Jaguar, etc...etc....also know what they're doing....
the e class looks even better in real life but i can't say the same for the interior, hopefully the next gen e class will get a much needed upgrade to the interior
I bought the previous model after test driving both, the previous model felt better build and more luxurious than this one.
wtf is up with manual transmission? never seen an e class with manual transmission..!!! :-O
and what do you drive?
Probably depends from brand to brand. I know that for some brands are 80-100$ and that is too much for piece of plastic worth 2-3 $ :)
Hey brother ! Hello from France, you are youg in this vidéo i buy the same car today, & your informations for this car it's nice, 13 year i fallow u,
SOFIANE FROM MARSEILLE 👍
Carwow bien-sûr 😉
Hold its value? I just bought a 2013 E 350 avantgarde for around £6,000 in December 2022. Brilliant car but its lost nearly 90% of its value in just over 9 years.
