i'm a little bit color blind and I see things a little bit less green than most people so I thought it was my perception. Nice to know that others didn't notice the colour either
That looks scary. Imagine if you have kids and they put their fingers in the path of the slamming door. *cringes* It actually happened to me when I was little, thank god we didn't have such a posh car as E-Class Coupe.
In my local mercedes dealer they have a pretty similarly specced (amg line but bigger wheels) emerald green 220d coupe, and I can confirm that colour is the one to get, looks petrol blue from one angle and when the sun really hits it, the flake in the colour is magnificent.
Dhruv Mahajan wait what? It's so ugly it's insane lol, it looks so boring and cheap... that huge iPad might be the worst thing of the interior. Can you please explain what you like about the interior
I agree with Feelsqtpman, its far from perfect. Limited front visibility from the pillars. Limited rear visibility. Poor input method for the infotainment. Far too much black, making the car look dark. Of course you could put lighter seats in, and hopefully a lighter roof lining?? From the 360 degree video it looks too dark/black inside, but maybe that is made worse by the camera? .
Mercedes never used real leather. They use their own alternative (I forgot what it's called) but it's meant to look and feel like leather. In my opinion, this alternative is neck to neck with real leather. It's comfortable, feels real, and lasts longer. It's also really easy to clean.
UzzyFuzzyy you can have Comand without the dual screens but still the analog dials look rather odd.. Audi does a better job with their screens / digital cockpits!
A display is cheaper to produce then classic gauges, no mechanical bits and pieces, just a circuit board, and with the right marketing they can sell it more expensive.
Look at the Land Rover screens, in my opinion is the one that better simulates gauges, better than Audi's system. This design approach Mercedes took with the dual screens is, to say the least, dubious.
I really love the way you review cars and to me this is one of the best way to learn about a car if not the best. Details, humor everything is spot on. I have noticed that your driving position is too close to the steering wheel, is this just a preference of yours or is it the right way to drive. I’ve seen others driving that close too so It would be great if you can give us some advise on that matter. Thanks again for the great job.
Biggest problem of this model is not having a V8 option. That's why I'm not sure with what car I could possibly replace my old E550 coupe. It just doesn't have any alternatives yet!
Great review of an absolutely beautiful car! On another note, I really don't get the opinion that seems to be apparent in many car reviews: if a car is not sporty, it's somehow objectively a bad thing! Not everyone wants a "sporty" car, meaning harsh suspension and a lot of road noise..... Some people, like myself appreciate comfortable cars! And I don't give a damn if it is not sporty! Sincerely, a Volvo driver....
Things I didn't notice in this video : 1. The water bottle when you let the door slam (For a second, I genuinely thought the glass shattered) 2. That the car is green (thought it was black until you mentioned it at the end) Do I need glasses?
"These cars are all the same, the Audi looks the best, the Golf is boring and over priced. They all under-steer and don't provide much fun apart from the Cupra which is the best to drive and luckily the cheapest too." You're welcome :)
so if you do a "sexist" comment about women and then do exactly the same with men, it's not sexist any more, and it is even "more inclusive"? wtf is wrong with this world...?
Kristián Kopáčik exactly my thoughts 😂😂🤦🏻♂️ I guess he was meaning that as a hidden (or not so hidden) message. It’s not ok to sexualise women (not even sure how this is technically a sexualising?) but when it comes to men we just glide over, like fuck men, they die young anyway 😂😂😂💩
Very fine car to drive. I've owned an E400 4m Coupé, and with the V6-engine this car is so superior, i love it. Before, i've had a C400 4m Coupé and the difference between the two is enormous !!
Good review..but when it comes to comparison with bmw,you always say it feels more sporty,how many people knows what a sporty drive is and how many people will buy this type of car for sporty drive..when you say it floats a bit around corners,do a match against a similar price bmw and set lap times..would be great to see the difference and by that we'll see the true difference.
I’ve heard that they put their signature on the windshield so that people notice it and se more likely to replace it at a dealer. Dodge does the same thing
Your back seat capacity test should have 2 Adult Rottweilers. Every time I think about a new car, I always wanna go towards coupes, 2 doors, cabriolets but bloody end up with hatchbacks or crossovers. Also, you cannot take 2 Rottweilers with you to a dealer to try out back seats. No one uses backs seats of coupes/cabriolets for human transport! Only for luggage or dogs as most of us do. So, it would be fun and much accurate if you use 2 full size dogs to test utility of all cars, especially coupes/cabriolets. :)
It is great... but the biggest problem (apart of the total similarity in Mercedes line up) is that it is there to show you didn't have enough money to buy the bid daddy S coupe... the other problem is that some people wouldn't recognize it isn't the smaller C coupe...
Because of China..No shit!There is a longer story to it. Same with BMW and Audi. Remember that in China they don't care about, let say if its a more expensive E-class or C-class. As long they look the same, no one gonna tell the difference. Owning a German car in China shows prestige and wealth ...China is the best marked for cars like that...
Lorenzo Trotta and all of them succeed eachother in design and performance in some way.. genuinely the same car really, but the S Class is the daddy so that one does have character
i dont think they are related. i live in a city called Nanjing which has 9 million population. And i rarely see coupes from B.B.A. on the streets. Remember Chinese prefer roominess and fuel economy than appearance and performance. Coupes are least options that Chinese buyers consider.
ts_ exotics It is not a problem , they look awesome , everytime I look at one , I just think about the genius designer that have done that (...and they don't actually look absolutely the same...)
Great review Matt, though there isn't a 3 litre diesel (slight slip!). I have this very car minus the air suspension arriving next week. I agonised over the 3 litre. but I just couldn't stretch to it. I know this 2.0 has it's downsides, but I was pleasantly surprised when I drove it. Will miss the grunt of my 640d Gran Coupe though! Will be my first Merc and I can't wait (mine's Hyacinth red, black/white nappa inside). Such a looker.
And people said that the Laguna Coupe's looks had a hint of Aston Martin to them. And now Aston Martin has a technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG... Spoooooky.
That green colour will make it depreciate like a bomb! I once bought a Green E Class as it was cheap thinking I should be able to use a few month and then sell it get my money back but boy was I wrong even selling it dirt cheap nobody wanted it.
Didn't realize it was green until he mentioned it at the end, and then I began seeing it in all the scenes lol. A bit similar to Doug's latest video about the 997 Porsche 911.
AverageJak yeah, it’s like Mercedes board watches the presentation of a last iPad and thought you know what guys why don’t we jut slap two fucking walls with monitors and be like all cool and shit? Yeah let’s fucking do that! 😂😂😂😂🤡🔫 fucking flows lmao

Can you find and review the E400 and compare it's V6 to this gasoline 4-cyl ?
Does the 2 litr diesel version comes with all wheel drive??
E300
Didn't even realise it was green until you mentioned it at the end 😂
Daniel G your an idiot
M Patel Me too 😂😂
M Patel I just commented this and didnt realise someone else had said it also loooool its so weird to notice it so late
i'm a little bit color blind and I see things a little bit less green than most people so I thought it was my perception. Nice to know that others didn't notice the colour either
I sense dejavu when Mat say it. Is Mat actually de mouro in British accent ?
the interior looks unreal, miles ahead of other luxury brands.
G94 Not really. It's only a gimmick that's designed to attract shallow people. LOL!
that's nice.
UltraSupra you want gimmicks, look no further than BMW.
No, I find the current MB lineup far more gimmicky than Audi's or BMW's.
UltraSupra anyone with money to buy a benz is shallow?
I've never been a fan of Mercedes... Until this car, looks beautiful inside and out.
Luco Zade Mercedes-Benz S65 AMG Coupé??
Aatos Piispala also nice... But looks abit too similar to this one for me... If i has the choice, I'd prefer this one due to the interior
Luco Zade you do know that the S Class came before this, and the interiors are more or less the same, just the S Class is better.
Joe Pinder I did not know that
they all looks the same all the merc products range. if you like this you'll like all of em
1 joke against Men and 1 against Women. We're eaqual.
Equal*
FireAblase Ekual
Ramy 216 STFU
The one against men seems to be "not ok" sooo, not equal ;)
Now that I think about it, the only way we should equal is "eaqual". Thank you!!
Slamming the bottle in the door was worth it alone for a thumbs up! XD
if he properly pushed the middle compartment lid, bottle would have fit in it too, mat was simply lazy
I got in that car just after Mat had been filming, and wasn't sure why I got splashed when I closed the door. It all makes sense now
That looks scary. Imagine if you have kids and they put their fingers in the path of the slamming door. *cringes* It actually happened to me when I was little, thank god we didn't have such a posh car as E-Class Coupe.
For a second I thought the window smashed
omg that wood and air vents are just👌👌👌
Shopalak Petrov so as you DUMBSHIT
@J Blank should buy a bmw then if you're into CaRbOnFiBeR
J Blank noob
So what's the dougscore?
62/100 m8
Maxim Jonson 95/100 dougs
lol
47 quirks out of /100
I think the Dougscore is a bit daft because everyone just watches the quirks anyway haha!
I would buy it just for the interior, looks so good!
In my local mercedes dealer they have a pretty similarly specced (amg line but bigger wheels) emerald green 220d coupe, and I can confirm that colour is the one to get, looks petrol blue from one angle and when the sun really hits it, the flake in the colour is magnificent.
Mercedes, Please, please, please, please make the E63 Coupe - the world needs it!
Which one is this?
Nvm its 300
E 53 for the moment
Seeing as they discontinued the m6, there’s no real direct competitor for an e63 coupe
Cls63
The interior is just so perfect
Dhruv Mahajan wait what? It's so ugly it's insane lol, it looks so boring and cheap... that huge iPad might be the worst thing of the interior. Can you please explain what you like about the interior
Feelsqtpman at least your stupid ass tried
Plastic covered seats are just so perfect
I agree with Feelsqtpman, its far from perfect. Limited front visibility from the pillars. Limited rear visibility. Poor input method for the infotainment. Far too much black, making the car look dark. Of course you could put lighter seats in, and hopefully a lighter roof lining?? From the 360 degree video it looks too dark/black inside, but maybe that is made worse by the camera? .
Feelsqtpman Completely agree👌
You guys should start selling-shirts that say "My car is blummin lovely!". Great review, Great car.
That's the best looking Merc in a long while..... stunning
Brilliant delivery Mat as usual. Comedic, informational and brilliant review as usual.
Matt is informative but fun to watch. Well presented, great video.
One of the joys of living in the UK is luxury cars are so darn affordable. I love it.
Mercedes never used real leather. They use their own alternative (I forgot what it's called) but it's meant to look and feel like leather.
In my opinion, this alternative is neck to neck with real leather. It's comfortable, feels real, and lasts longer. It's also really easy to clean.
That One Guy MBtex!
Real leather is not the best option for a car seat.Over the time the real leather stretches and is sweating you ass in hot summer days.
Faux leather?
Bullshuting
Artico leather instead of mb tex
I've had a test drive of an e class coupe one of the nicest cars I've driven in a while so comfy and a nice place to be
To make sure you won’t die so that you can pay the car!!
7:22 I jumped. Trauma. 😐🤕🙁😕😒
5:50 your door is open 😳 it’s an absolutely gorgeous looking car! I would buy it :)
To be honest, I'm just happy they included a Modest Mouse song at 1:49. You never see them anywhere, but they are a phenomenal band.
Looks stunning! Could be the class leader...
The wood in the interior looks so much better than the piano black effect on other E-classes.
The best Mercedes car ever
The "water bottle crushed by the door" test should be standard in every review!
Really hate the "gauge clauster". They could've made it look less like a screen
UzzyFuzzyy you can have Comand without the dual screens but still the analog dials look rather odd.. Audi does a better job with their screens / digital cockpits!
A display is cheaper to produce then classic gauges, no mechanical bits and pieces, just a circuit board, and with the right marketing they can sell it more expensive.
It IS a screen !! If you have night vision package, dials move out of the way and night vision display occupies the centre of the screen... duh.
Maxim Jonson completely agree, I don't want to pay £40 000 just to have a giant tablet in the middle of the dash
Look at the Land Rover screens, in my opinion is the one that better simulates gauges, better than Audi's system. This design approach Mercedes took with the dual screens is, to say the least, dubious.
i love that lil retro mercedes windshield logo
I really love the way you review cars and to me this is one of the best way to learn about a car if not the best. Details, humor everything is spot on.
I have noticed that your driving position is too close to the steering wheel, is this just a preference of yours or is it the right way to drive. I’ve seen others driving that close too so It would be great if you can give us some advise on that matter.

Sincerely, a Volvo driver....
942mattu I agree, I look for quietness and comfort, sports cars are dreadful to drive on a daily basis
I am getting one of these! I find the drive quite satisfying and I think you are a bit harsh on the ride and engine noise ..............it's lovely!
Only in the UK will you see someone complaining about a car getting "only" 32 MPG 🤦🏼♂️😂
Not sure if Mat's ever done stand up, but he'd be a natural. ty 4 vid.
the best coupe
Things I didn't notice in this video :
1. The water bottle when you let the door slam (For a second, I genuinely thought the glass shattered)
2. That the car is green (thought it was black until you mentioned it at the end)
Do I need glasses?
this e class coupe is really awesome.. cheaper version of s coupe. tq bro.
That dark green is gorgeous.
Gorgeous car and guy...especially from the rear
Best starting to any car review I have seen so far
Please do a comparison video between VAG hot hatches, the Audi S3, GOLF R, CUPRA 300
"These cars are all the same, the Audi looks the best, the Golf is boring and over priced. They all under-steer and don't provide much fun apart from the Cupra which is the best to drive and luckily the cheapest too." You're welcome :)
Drove this yesterday. What a joy to drive
so if you do a "sexist" comment about women and then do exactly the same with men, it's not sexist any more, and it is even "more inclusive"? wtf is wrong with this world...?
Kristián Kopáčik exactly my thoughts 😂😂🤦🏻♂️ I guess he was meaning that as a hidden (or not so hidden) message. It’s not ok to sexualise women (not even sure how this is technically a sexualising?) but when it comes to men we just glide over, like fuck men, they die young anyway 😂😂😂💩
You two snowflakes are what’s wrong with this world. Just watch the video, and if you don’t like it, fuck off.
Hi Mat...I am a big fan of your reviews. Just one suggestion: Can you include a quick review of sun roofs as well as you do it rarely. Thanks
What a gorgeous car, especially from the rear.
Bradley Davis yo, you might want to tone down on that “rear” as you might just activate feminazis 😂😂😂😂😂🤣🔫
Very fine car to drive. I've owned an E400 4m Coupé, and with the V6-engine this car is so superior, i love it. Before, i've had a C400 4m Coupé and the difference between the two is enormous !!
Can you do an e53 review Matt?
Mates got one of these and they are very nice to sit in just so chill
Good review..but when it comes to comparison with bmw,you always say it feels more sporty,how many people knows what a sporty drive is and how many people will buy this type of car for sporty drive..when you say it floats a bit around corners,do a match against a similar price bmw and set lap times..would be great to see the difference and by that we'll see the true difference.
Its a sports coupe so by its very definition it should be sporty to drive and this Merc isn't whereas as Matt pointed out the equivalent BMW is.
Mat, please could you add a section on the car's seats (ie) how they adjust and so on. The most important thing for me is to be able to get comfy!
I didn't even know it was green until you said it I thought it was blue lol
Madern it's a gorgeous colour in the metal 👌
carwow I thought it was black
Finally Matt, it's been a while
looks so similar to the c class coupe
bear grylls actually not, the e class looks way longer and not as wide as the C
Yeah thats still the same look, just different dimensions....
bear grylls Looks more like the S Class Coupe
Interior looks way better doh
bear grylls They look completly different, only the Frontends are a little bit close to each other
I’ve heard that they put their signature on the windshield so that people notice it and se more likely to replace it at a dealer. Dodge does the same thing
Why dose the wood trim look like it came from an IKEA Tv stand ?!?
BMW ///M butt hurt BMW fanboy lol
They all come from IKEA
BMW ///M it looks much better than the 6 series
I wouldn't be bagging other brands' wood trim if I were a BMW fan lmao.
ewt415 mad burn Merc all day long
Amazing reviews as always. I am from India but i have been following your channel for a year now. Have seen all your videos. Keep up the great work.
ok now do the convertible next !
In contrast. I like the acceleration sound so much
32MPG not that great lol. I have the E55 and happy to get more than 14.
Birmingham, represented in North Carolina haha, BOSTIN!
Your back seat capacity test should have 2 Adult Rottweilers.

still waiting on the m6/6 series review
Maurice حب للايجارحب and حب
It is great... but the biggest problem (apart of the total similarity in Mercedes line up) is that it is there to show you didn't have enough money to buy the bid daddy S coupe... the other problem is that some people wouldn't recognize it isn't the smaller C coupe...
Best Car-RUclipsr - very funny beginning. Best Regards from your german fan. 😁👌
why do all the Mercedes coupes look the same
Because of China..No shit!There is a longer story to it. Same with BMW and Audi. Remember that in China they don't care about, let say if its a more expensive E-class or C-class. As long they look the same, no one gonna tell the difference. Owning a German car in China shows prestige and wealth ...China is the best marked for cars like that...
Just like all of their models, C class = smaller E class = smaller S class
Lorenzo Trotta and all of them succeed eachother in design and performance in some way.. genuinely the same car really, but the S Class is the daddy so that one does have character
i dont think they are related. i live in a city called Nanjing which has 9 million population. And i rarely see coupes from B.B.A. on the streets. Remember Chinese prefer roominess and fuel economy than appearance and performance. Coupes are least options that Chinese buyers consider.

I love the green of this car. Nice review. Keep up the good work.
The front end just looks too flat for me, doesn't match the rear end whatsoever. Also these coupes are almost identical.
Great review Matt, though there isn't a 3 litre diesel (slight slip!). I have this very car minus the air suspension arriving next week. I agonised over the 3 litre. but I just couldn't stretch to it. I know this 2.0 has it's downsides, but I was pleasantly surprised when I drove it. Will miss the grunt of my 640d Gran Coupe though! Will be my first Merc and I can't wait (mine's Hyacinth red, black/white nappa inside). Such a looker.
been waiting for this
Does the 2 litr diesel version comes with all wheel drive?
Hey Mat.Love your car reviews with your inniminable humour.Keep it up.
Not feeling that wood veneer colour
K R yeah it doesn't go well with a black interior
very Ikea
would look great with light coloured seats. it doesn't suit the darker seats and dash.
Will look ancient in less than 5 yrs
it's a shame Mercedes doesn't give you more options should you choose to buy one...wait...
OMG.. you have really been working out! your body is banging and your guns are stunning.
Mercedes copying the backend from the Renault Laguna Coupé? 😂
And people said that the Laguna Coupe's looks had a hint of Aston Martin to them. And now Aston Martin has a technical partnership with Mercedes-AMG... Spoooooky.
I agree haha But still a lovely car
And the Laguna coupe has a great looking back end
Christopher O'Grady I agree!
the shifter paddles are there because you dont have the usual stick like in bmws or audis automatics
I hate digital gauges
Bobler I see dead people
Bobler that's an optional extra, the base model has normal dials
It's like a fashion item, stunning in and out and classy
I had no idea this car was green until it was pointed out lol... So obvious now but seriously had no idea!
Idk but i find the last 3 e class coupes are nice looking . The v8 from 2012 sounds amazing
Issue is with electric dials, what's gonna happen in 10-20 years when they malfunction
PasteyWhiteboy they're digital dials, if they malfunction it's either the sensor that's broken or the whole thing won't work
Question is will you be there in 10-20 years
You just connect an external 24inch monitor
If that long. Probably disable the entire vehicle.
In that much time most owners upgrade
Mat has scored an Evisu shirt! Chavtastic, Mat!
I actually don't like the look of the giant ipad sort of thing as a dashboard, seeing the sides makes mne want to rip it out.
Adam Perkins you are probably not old enough to drive saying some shit like this . Go back to fortnite
That green colour will make it depreciate like a bomb! I once bought a Green E Class as it was cheap thinking I should be able to use a few month and then sell it get my money back but boy was I wrong even selling it dirt cheap nobody wanted it.
0:55 When u left just hanging
Didn't realize it was green until he mentioned it at the end, and then I began seeing it in all the scenes lol. A bit similar to Doug's latest video about the 997 Porsche 911.
great vid cow wow
Mthuthu Zulu thank moo very much
carwow Dead hahaha
hahahaha
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Excellent review Mat! Greetings from Madrid
Dude you are so close to the wheel, my grandmother looks cooler driving her 89 golf .. kidding nice review
those crates are really popular in Germany/Austria where supermarkets do not supply plastic bags...
dash just looks like it has two ipads stuck on it.... this is not a good thing
AverageJak yeah, it’s like Mercedes board watches the presentation of a last iPad and thought you know what guys why don’t we jut slap two fucking walls with monitors and be like all cool and shit? Yeah let’s fucking do that! 😂😂😂😂🤡🔫 fucking flows lmao
Finally a beautiful E class!!!
Wait wtf. Who sits that close to the wheel? 4:40
The beginning was funny as hell enjoyed the video 😂
I want to like 100 times.
GOD the spec on the interior is magnificent!
Mercedes have never been youthful
Loving your Mercedes reviews mate keep it up!!
In 5 years those screens are gonna look horribly dated
Bruno Danese you can duck tape your iPad over them and be still the cooolest kid on the block lmao
They already do. It looks as if they stuck two ipads without further refinement onto the dash and called it a day
Agreed. Interior designed for obsolescence
Bruno Danese حبللايجار٣٩
Paused the video at 0:18 and laughed at that Middleton sisters reference for a good minute!!
That wasn't sexist at all haha. God this world is so sensitive!!
Mat doesn't actually seem very PC in these videos, I think they were just poking fun at all the SJW bullshit :P
I have driven a SAAB, but a Mercedes is a Mercedes. I love these old man cars!
Wow!
