@Zayd Mohammad Merc is the best in tech, just look at the features. Merc is the best in performance see GT3 and the Nurburgring Lap Times of GTR. But, Merc has suffered a little bit of luxury. Also build quality wise they are still face to face with other brands. There is no better or worse, as each german car manufacturer has some issues with the functionality of certain things. I drive a C 300 (and a Mustang xD) , my dad a 530 d Touring and my Mom a VW Golf 1.4. If you took the build quality of these cars together, it would be perfect, as all cars have different types of problems.
I love W124 so much...I even called the girl I loved “W124”... you did a great job but one thing bothers me and that’s that your design reminds me of Audi
You nailed this one! The current model as you often say looks like "melted cheese" and just sort of smushes altogether. This sharpens and defines the rear end. Well done
W124 is my dream car. Had one for 12 years, 300TDI but the E50/60 is what I'm seeking. Thank you for redesigning my dream car into the new generation. Hands down 🙏🏻🙌🏻😄
That would be nice. Modern hybrid - coupe. Maybe with covered wheels too :) I also think that this would fit to the style of TSM. Maybe redesign of Insight and CR-Z in one?
I like this design, very strong "German" lines unlike the current soft "Korean" curvy look. Anyone who thinks this resembles an E39 does not get what they are talking about.
I have always loved the W212 facelift model - launched in 2013 as a 2014 model - I think that was the last E-Class which was still very distinctly an E-Class. That rear was gorgeous especially the tail lights - I still think that car looks more modern and more beautiful than the current car except for the interior of course. Even the estate version of that car was great! Had all the strong lines @sketchmonkey references.
Tack så sjukt mycket för denna denhär designen asså. Känner exakt likadant. Har inte alls varit ett fan av Mercedes slopade designspråk dem senaste 10 åren och detta är verkligen en ”return to form” om man kan säga så. Det passar verkligen! Sjukt bra jobbat!
I agree with your thoughts on the W124 design - such a handsome saloon. Bruno Sacco was a design genius. I have a 1990 W124 and it’s a fabulous machine.
The rear end redesign looks good. It finally create some unique design, despite slightly looks like audi rear end. I would also love to see the front end redesign.
The line you’re discussing about at 5:35 was meant to fade away before the rear door and that’s how it was in their previous design years (2016-2019). But, again it’s missing line flow as in this design it should connect/continue towards rear light.
Mercedes W124 was looked mafia cars of that time. The design was beast . And I personally liked the boxy design and squared lights. I can’t wait to see this comeback. 👍🏼
I agree, the taillights look like they lifted them off of a second generation Kia Forte. I am disappointed in the direction that Mercedes has taken their designs across the board.
Many people complain about the rear of the 2021 E Class, but they keep forgetting that W110, W111, W112, W113, W100, W108, W114, W115, W116, R/C 107, W123, W126, W201 and R129 also had horizontal rear lights and no one complained. The front is unimpressive, I agree about that.
Love the redesign, it hits the brief to be more “German”...it definitely now has a touch of Audi, BMW and Skoda (I know they’re not German) from different eras - just goes to show how correct this redesign is!
This is giving me VE Commodore vibes I think the benefit of the previous generation of the Mercedes styling was that in a sea of angry cars, Mercedes's looked pretty happy and cheerful.
I agree with you about bringing simple back. SUVs are too curvy and not boxy anymore (probably more for aero) but I feel like the best designs of the 80s and 90s were more squared off.
Another suggestion: Can you do by any chance a series where you design from scratch a car by a particular brand for the next generation. For example the next 5 series or the next C class as if you were employed as their designer.
Those lights are very reminiscent of a BMW E39. Just like a more modern, sportier, aggressive version.
If the trunk opening were to hug them at the top it would be a fine looking e39 revision
With the silver bar across it almost looks similar to a mid 2000 BMW 7 Series
They do remember me of the Citroën ZX as well. Nevertheless: Impressive make-over, I do like it.
I think that too. In the last Minute the desgn changed a bit. But till then, they remembered me very strong to that 5 series BMW.
At least I'm not the only one, who'd thought about the 39 😅
I think it looks more like 90s Audi than a Merc.
I was thinking the same thing😂
Indeed B5 A4 to be precise
Or a 5 series 90s bmw
@@bagos1997 You're spot-on.......the BMW e-39 5-series or some Audi.
@@keloduma my parents have one and i thought the Same ^^ the rear Lights combined with the "Spoiler"
At first it started to look like an old Audi a6 then it started to look like an e39. Love the stronger look.
Absolutely yeah hhhh
Exactly my thoughts
A skoda Octavia too
99 honda accord
yeeessss
Back when "The best or nothing" really meant something
lol still means the same today, just that other car manufacturers come closer

Zayd Mohammad definitely not the best in infotainment
Chto ty deyalesh Audi is best in tech wtf have you seen A8s tech?
Gaara true infotainment is best of only bmw
So you've just made E39?
still an improvement
Or an Audi B5 S4
He basically made the 2014 Mercedes E63 but uglier
The rear looks like a mishmash of 90’s BMW, contemporary Škoda’s and a early2000’s Audi. This is no Mercedes in any way.
He’s a graphic artist not a designer.
Looked like a Skoda for a while
agree with that, skoda/audi around 2010
Just what I was thinking
Still does.
Uh, so close!!! Please modernize the Mercedes W140.
Probably that was not intended but now it is more like E39 AMG instead of E63 :)
It’s cuz the tail light... he should have used the 2018 E Class AMG taillights..
This is exactly what I love about TheSketchMonkey. Brilliant point-and-tell analysis, and then an entertaining redesign.
Challenge: redesign something other than a car to see how it goes.
He did. He redesigned a Yacht!
@@toniweak thanks. I'll look for it.
I love W124 so much...I even called the girl I loved “W124”...
you did a great job but one thing bothers me and that’s that your design reminds me of Audi
Masoud Hosseini yeah like a mid-2000s A6 sedan
I got 5 w124s
I don't want any "coupe like" sedens i want a boxy solid car
i have a 300ce coupe and boxy😁
Boxy is beautiful, please redesign the vw Corrado!
Huge Mercedes-Benz fan here, and let me say, that if they built that car, they couldn’t take my money fast enough! Well done sir, well done!!
You said “Solid” a billion times and that is why the W124 was so amazing, everything made sense. Probably one of my favorite cars of all times.
Goddamn. I think this is my favourite design you've made. We need more 2020 cars like this! Bring back boxiness!
You nailed this one! The current model as you often say looks like "melted cheese" and just sort of smushes altogether. This sharpens and defines the rear end. Well done

Wow ... took my breath away, fantastic redesign, it’s good to see this type of definition again can’t wait for the front end.
Georgeus! And u know of me that i'm not allways in the same mood than ur style. But today u make me want a new retro era in Mercedes. Really good!
It’s always enjoyable to see a master doing his thing. You’re an artist my good man. Legit
Redesigns getting Stronger Day by Day! Loved This!!
Please redesign the rear end of a gen 1 Honda Insight.
That would be nice. Modern hybrid - coupe. Maybe with covered wheels too :) I also think that this would fit to the style of TSM. Maybe redesign of Insight and CR-Z in one?
I like this design, very strong "German" lines unlike the current soft "Korean" curvy look. Anyone who thinks this resembles an E39 does not get what they are talking about.
Tack så mycket för att du görar dessa typer av videor. Jag är 13 och min dröm är att bli bildesigner, och du inspirerar mig ännu mer! Tack❤️
Looks great! And it's probably why I love the rear 3/4 look of the e39 M5 still as it's very similar to this redesign
The new outro music timings with the before and after comparison literally gives me chills.
Also great redesign as always 👍
I have always loved the W212 facelift model - launched in 2013 as a 2014 model - I think that was the last E-Class which was still very distinctly an E-Class.

Super nice! I love W124, and Yours concept brings back this boxy spirit.
As a W124 owner, love to see this!!! More please!
This redesign is amazing!

i like this new series of designing old cars and incorporating them into newer cars
This is definetly one of your best redesigns.
This is spectacular. Looks so much more elegant. This is by far my favourite. Loved it.
So you made a Mercedes look like the Audi A6 C5/4B :D
NEXT: Redesign the face of Scarlett Johansson! :D
Hmmm idk I feel like you missed the mark on this one. It kind of looks like a mix between an old mustang, an old Audi and a skoda
100% agree on you. In your design the tail lights are a bit BMWish but the rear trunk V shape opening brings it back that Mercedes vibe.
The new e63s looks better than all cars in the world
I love how this looks like a variety of old BMW and Audi vehicles haha. The rear end is very reminiscent of the E39, and mid-200 A6 and A8s
So much fun watching Sketch Monkey!
More like Sketch Funky! 😃
You really are an amazing graphic artist👍 it looks so much better than the current c-class.
I agree with your thoughts on the W124 design - such a handsome saloon. Bruno Sacco was a design genius. I have a 1990 W124 and it’s a fabulous machine.
Friend of mine, had a coupe and a sedan, he loved them both so i did. What a beautiful car
What a massive improvement.. great work mate.
Man... This is an unforgettable car I ever owned! If I can find another one in a good shape, I would definitely own it again!
Great representation of the original boxy, solid style!
Love your vids. Keep up the good work. Thanks.
I feel like the Mercedes E-Class peaked with the W212-r facelift 💯 that one had well defined lines 🔥
The w124 and w212 are the best looking E classes to this date
The rear end redesign looks good. It finally create some unique design, despite slightly looks like audi rear end.
I would also love to see the front end redesign.

Those lights have a audi like and a scoda like design
E39 ? )))))
WHEN HE COMPARED TO GRILLS TO SCARLETT JOHANSSON'S FACE AND A GROUPER FISH
One of your best videos.
Mercedes W124 was looked mafia cars of that time. The design was beast . And I personally liked the boxy design and squared lights. I can’t wait to see this comeback. 👍🏼
He never disappoints!
Please please please make a sideview-redo on this car, i whould love to see a modern w124!
you made it so much better.. beautiful job.
1991 Mercedes Benz is one of my favorite old-school Mercedes. Very beautiful.
I'm lovin this look Bembli!! I hope you gotta front view coming, yes? YES??? PLEASE?????
I forget the generations of mercs but, my grandfather has two
EDIT: forgot to point out that its the W124 gen
I agree, the taillights look like they lifted them off of a second generation Kia Forte. I am disappointed in the direction that Mercedes has taken their designs across the board.
I would pay for a car like this! Love your designs!
Many people complain about the rear of the 2021 E Class, but they keep forgetting that W110, W111, W112, W113, W100, W108, W114, W115, W116, R/C 107, W123, W126, W201 and R129 also had horizontal rear lights and no one complained. The front is unimpressive, I agree about that.
I really apreciate your style! Great job!
It'll be nice to see a proper updated version of BMW E39 and keeping the original BMW tradition. Thank you!
I wish Mercedes would hire you 😭😭 the side of your design looks like a 212 without the fender flares and the rear reminds me of the Pontiac G8
It Looks Like a e39 with Skoda Elements.
Love the old mafia style Benz
yeah totally agree, back then, my Macintosh had blue E400's rear end as wallpaper when everyone had Countach/Testarossa
Looks amazing bro!
The W212 E Class looks strong. But the W211 was very flowing in design and still looks gorgeous.
Love the redesign, it hits the brief to be more “German”...it definitely now has a touch of Audi, BMW and Skoda (I know they’re not German) from different eras - just goes to show how correct this redesign is!
Looks more serious now, as in, having a strong presence. Nice.
Thank you sketch monkey you just turn a Mercedes into a "Saudi" AKA Saab/Audi mix 😂 love this channel though 💯✌
It's really old school and that's what I like!!!
Wow you are an amazing graphic artist
considering the ford falcon's not being made any more, can you design a 2020 facelift for the 2016 ford falcon?
Love your work.
Please do the '87 Ford Sierra RS500. Would love to see how you would re-imagine this legendary car.
Maybe it's just me but the redesign reminds me of the some of the later Saab sedans right before they went out of business
This is giving me VE Commodore vibes
I think the benefit of the previous generation of the Mercedes styling was that in a sea of angry cars, Mercedes's looked pretty happy and cheerful.
I was about to say the same looks like a holden commodore
Well, it did improve a lot after the break. I feared it wasn’t going to go well, but you saved it in the end 👍🏻
The W124 embodies the Bauhaus ethos, perfectly.
I agree with you about bringing simple back. SUVs are too curvy and not boxy anymore (probably more for aero) but I feel like the best designs of the 80s and 90s were more squared off.
What do you think of the new seats' broken shoulder line? Would be interesting to see that fixed.
This reminds me to a BMW in a way, but really nice man :)
this looks better than the current Mercedes lineups.
looks soo better! please redesign whole car in upcoming video!
I want to see the front redesign as well. 😁😍✌🔥🔥
Looks 100 times better I was kinda shocked when I first saw the new e class
i would really love to see an audi rs2 redesign
What do you think about the new Toyota Sienna.
Another suggestion: Can you do by any chance a series where you design from scratch a car by a particular brand for the next generation. For example the next 5 series or the next C class as if you were employed as their designer.
Nice! I really like it. Are you going to make the front view?
Nice work, looks really cool
You have very good taste @TheSketchMonkey
The W124...My favorite car 😍
