I have owned 2 W213 E-Class’s an E220d and the E400d and they are amazing cars, best car I have every owned and never has any issues. I had a w205 c class before and that spent most the time in the workshop.
In Australia this was the first model where the normal E-Class wagon was no longer offered. We did get the 220d All Terrain model, and then a batch of E400d All Terrains that were ordered by the Victorian Police but dropped in favour of a 5 series because of something to do with fitting an auxillary battery. Recently some E400, E43, and E53 wagons have appeared imported from Japan. I kind of want them all, other than the 220d.
My MB dealer in the UK recently quoted £550 to replace the LED bulbs in the rear door handles, this being the result of labour to remove and refit the door cards to get access. Other than that, the main reliability issue over the 70,000 miles covered since I bought the car as a factory order in November 2016 have been failure of the wiring / connectors to the position sensing potentiometers on the accelarator pedal, which caused some alarming uncontrolled accelerations of the vehicle several times until the problem was eventually resolved after multiple visits to different dealers, and failure of the air suspension pump and one of the suspoension sensors. The most annoying problem is rattling of the metal buttons on the position controls for the electric seats, and vibration from some parts of the dashboard which comes and goes. These annoying noises are more obvious that they might otherwise be owing to the extremely low noise level inside the car, this being in part to my having chosen the SE spec with 18" wheels rather than larger ones, these having the further advantage that all four are the same size and can be rotated to even out tyre wear as was usually done years ago. No issues with the engine or drive train, my car has an annual service as per MB requirements at intervals of about 9.000 miles. This is a November 2016 E350d.
Hi, yes real world usually differs from officially tested fuel economy, especially if it was done on the older NEDC cycle, but I create all the guides with the official fuel economy to keep it fair 👍
The E400d has a design fault where the plastic turbo vacuum line runs too close to the DPF and melts. Mercedes factory fix only developed in October 2024
First UPGRADE quality of video, 720p in 2024 is nightmare. Second, use "RUclips Parts" to divide your video in parts instead of one long video, so we don't know which part is where in video,
A currently have a w212 facelift E class coupe that's now hard to get in ( we are 75 years old) I am currently thinking of a electric SUV however the E class is close to my heart and may win😊
Two days driving per charge on an E-Class with that mileage. If getting in and out and electric are key though, I’ve got guides on the Jag I-Pace and BMW i3. The Mercedes EQ range is also good, but value for money a nice hybrid W213 might be best for head and heart 👍
Thats correct! Professional taxi-drivers earn their living with their car, so they do not buy and drive shitty cars. Ever seen a BMW-cab? No? Exactly....

cry about it mate
I’m waiting for the AMG models now
Noted, and glad you enjoyed this one enough to want more 👍
what? there has been AMG models since 2017? or did you mean reviews?
A currently have a w212 facelift E class coupe that's now hard to get in ( we are 75 years old) I am currently thinking of a electric SUV however the E class is close to my heart and may win😊
If it helps, I’ve driven several of the E-Class hybrids and they were good on electric power for local driving 👍
@@themilesdriven most of my mileage consists of less than 15 miles per day ( golf club and back home ) so almost all my mileage will be electric

How reliable are the “63s” variants of this model?
What are the things to note?
Thanks 🙏🏽 again
they shouldnt have changed that coupe's unique headlights
How many E62 wagons were build and shipped to USA in 2021?
The only association I have with W213 is a taxi car
Yeah there sure are a lot of them in Europe 👍
