I think having a script would improve your delivery of the reviews. I noticed you get stuck with words at times. With so many SA reviewers out there, lightly rehearsing a script would elevate this so much. Otherwise, props.
Kumbi, the Mercedes Benz Interior Dome lights are LED. its just that they are 3800 or 4000 Kelvin colour Temperature, they are designed to mimic sunlight or the color of an incandescent bulb they look yellow like.. you dont get the bright blueish colour like the ones on the rear number plate. on the W205 or W206 dome, footwell and rear map lights, thats how they are designed.
Dope review, mara eish that background where u were parked when reviewing the car🙈 the area where u were driving the car looked nice though for the review
the front looks like a 3series. The headlights especially. Remove the mercedes badge and the only thing left thats benz is the bumper design. It looks good though
Great review. Love that light green colour! Most of them will be in black or grey with black interior. So boring. Black leather really drags the interior down in a car, especially a top end car. You don't want to spend all that money and feel like you're in a taxi!. Plus black leather gets very hot in the sun. I've got a 2018 E class with a similar light coloured leather interior (with dark blue exterior) and I can say that it has withstood 80k miles on the drivers seat with out any discoloration. It just feels so luxurious and top-end. It looks a million dollars but costs the same as the black leather. Yes, you do need to clean the seat base from time to time as clothes like blue jeans do mark it, but it always comes up like new as long as you use leather protector. Go for it, unless you have messy kids of course! Love your style Kumbi!
Merc driver here, the missing spare wheel is disastrous when the 5 has it installed 😢. I would buy this car and yes the two liter would be a bother for me. Just give us 400d. Nice review bro 👊🏾
I have watched your reviews a few times, I appreciate the improvement. Now, the car is amazing. But that passenger screen is screen overload. The capacitative buttons are not working for any manufacturer which is why vw and bmw have gone back to hard buttons. I am a bmw guy but I would take this over the current 5 series.
Some things should be standard by now. It's the best Merc they currently make but the price and cost of optional features that should be standard doesn't make it worth it. It's more than double the price of what my well-equipped 2014 E350 V6 diesel was, and this is just a 220d which isn't even as powerful nor as refined engine wise...
The AI in mercedes is always listening, which makes it intrusive and annoying at times. Plus, it can reply to you even if you are not talking to it. They should just bring back the "hey mercedes " function. The super screen is awesome. 🎉

Thank you for this feedback.
Probably why the voice over boys are winning.
Mercedes are on another level with the E Class interior 👏👏👏👏👏
You are getting better and better bro, not perfect but very good review... Good job
Appreciate the feedback, always learning and trying to improve! 🙌🏾

Appreciate the insight, I'll keep that in mind for future reviews!
Car Price is one of the important details to mention when reviewing a car. Congratulations 🎉
Noted!
Did i miss you mentioning the total price of the car!
Great job Kumbi!!! Congratulations on the award. Thoroughly deserved.
Thanks! Appreciate the support. 🙏🏾
It's a beautiful German executive luxury car no doubt. The extras worth way over R600k is just not worth it 😢
Eish
Stay humble and keep improving. Hoping to see you at 100k subscribers
Thanks for the kind words, let’s get there! 💪🏽

Problem with Merc E class it's expensive than the 5 series

Beautiful Car and great review. ❤
Whats the price of the car
Yeah it looks good but not sure about the back.
Yea metoo
The fake exhaust is the problem
@@siyabongacele8049 I hate how they actively made them a part of the design too,as if they actually serve their purpose
So many things digital, so many can go wrong...One word IMPRACTICAL
My Kumbi-M❤
❤️
2025 mara? Haibo bushiri. Don't touch anything there just come back to 2024
Compared to the new 5 series this new E class looks much more impressive and elegant 👌

What happening with that exhaust
What does it look like without the MBUX hyper screen?
For me it looks tacky. 😢😢

Good review but my 1.2k will go to Bmw.
Me too, price is a bit high. I believe 5 series a nicely priced. The only difference is the passenger screen and the rear cornering wheel.
To each their own! 🙌🏾
Dude, how did you get there before us?
😂😂😂
I was here for the comments
👀
Beautiful car 🫶🏾
Agreed.

You can, but it will be bare.

Appreciate the feedback, I'm always looking for ways to improve!
Am, it is 2024 still my friend, you could not have compared it with all the ars you will still be driving next year. Lazy and sloppy presentation. 😅
Mentioning 2025 instead of 2024 was just an honest mistake. When I was editing, I could’ve cut it out but decided to keep it in got humor.
