Hi Nick have watched most of your videos I am a first time Merc owner I bought amg45s new having had it a year what a great car it replaced my 911 drives and handles as well if not better I am know in my seventies and still enjoy cars thanks for all the information you pass on I know you would like 45s it’s worth the money regards Toj

Some cars [possibly early MB hybrids] had a specific battery regeneration mode. Instead of holding the battery level at the current level it would use only the motor to actively top it up so you could achieve a full charge given sufficient mileage. Useful if your electric range was depleted when you set off. Can this car not achieve this?

It’s been a year and there is no way for me to customize my dashboard on Volvo. I’m pissed

I have a CLA 250e , super car pity the battery autonomy only gives me 50 km , should be at least 100 , although I have read the new ones have a 120 km autonomy

Great video again , thx 👍👍🙋‍♂️

I will never goto electric

This is insane, i was just thinking about this yesterday what the diffrent modes were for. I did test it yesterday aswell but i couldnt find out exectly what they did so big thanks to this video Nick. One thing i was abit confused about is that u cant have a mode thats only use petrol and no electric at all, then u need to use the battery hold mode, right? I really do love ur channel, ive been subbed for like 6 months now just before i bought my new AMG 250 E and u have helped me with alot of tips and trix. So please keep on doing these kind of videos cus ill enjoy them every single time u post new ones. Travel safe bud 😁🥰

It’s a shame it always starts on electric, it would be great to be able to customise my own car without having to press a button every time

I love those videos even tho i don’t own a Mercedes

my 2021 A250e used to combine engine and electric however it saw fit during trips that where longer than what the battery could reach. This was great because it really optimized the usage of the two. But for some reason now after 3 years of owning this car, it has stopped doing that and is going electric until it just runs out. after which it goes to combustion engine. I cant find any reason why it would do this :S

On the Hybrid mode, it automatically switches between electric and gas automatically by analysing the route you put on navigation aiming to minimize the consumption and improve efficiency. It does not work on Google Maps etc though, it only works with Mercedes's own navigation system. So the Hybrid mode has nothing with acceleration etc, it's for efficency but it is tied only to Mercedes Navigation unfortunately (probably because Mercedes does not want their system talk with 3rd parties and share details of the car).

Hi nick, have you heard of many issues with the regenerative breaking on the eq models or eqc in particular? Mine will cut out over a bump and the abs kicks in. Also recently hit a bump and went straight into coast mode. Just wondered if you or anyone else knows the issue as it’s hard to replicate when taken into the dealership to diagnose the fault. Thank you

scara a furat-o de la Aro!

My Question is, How easy is access to the actual batteries - car main battery & electric motor’s battery? That’s in case they need replacement of course.

I like the vidio❤

The electric motor is in the (fantastic) 9G-Tronic gearbox : it is referred to as a 'Starter'. It makes 125HP and can drive the car only in electric but also add power to the Combustion engine (the 1994cc diesel engine OM654M in my particular case). On the 20.000 km I did with my GLC 300de I drove 13.000km on electric only. The 125HP are sufficient most of the time for city driving but sometimes prove to be insufficient. Being in the gearbox, the electric motor can drive the wheels and recharge the battery with the front or rear wheels (but mostly on front wheels because it is a front wheel car after all). The 300hp of my GLC are only possible in 'SPORT' mode under heavy acceleration. At his moment ONLY the 4-matic engage... It is the sad part of the system : not having the permanent 4-matic with a distribution rear 55% - front 45% like the previous models. The 13,5KWh battery can give you up to 48km range in summer with a super efficient and slow drive but most of the time you'll get 35-40 km of range. After 3 years, my battery has degraded a little, but not so much. I charge at 100% every day, one or twice a day at 5,5KWh. With the combustion engine, I drive either in CONFORT or ECO mode that I prefer because it charges better the battery. One downside of the Hybrid is the small petrol tank (50l) instead of the 66l of a normal ICE vehicle. Overall I love it very much !

I wish there were a couple of other 'gesture shapes' to give us a few more favourites. 1st world problems eh!

What about Waze? Shows speed traps

I have a CLA shooting brake and drive most of the time electric. Just one thing that is very annoying is the car needs to be off to open the charge port. When I park I just stop and open the door. The car goes to park automatically and if I lock the doors it will shut off. But if I want to open the charge port I need to remember to shut the car off before getting out or I need to press the lock key of the remote. Mercedes could just turn off the car if the charge port gets open...

Hi, I've got a 2023 C300e, great car, does everything I hoped. I have a couple of comments though. In electric if you boot it, i.e. puch the accelerator pedal quickly down the engine will come on without depressing the "panic" button. Secondly I wish someone could get the message through to Mercedes that the charging modes are a bit the wrong way round. We all know that a battery shouoldn't be consistantly charged to 100% and indeed it says that in the manual but the default mode is Standard and the default charge is 100%, yes you can change this to lower levels but next time you come to use it it will be 100% again. Home however can be set to a lower level and saved at that level which is what I do and as a compromise on range and battery life I charge to 90%, topping up before leaving if I need max range. I pointed this out at the recent recall and they proudly told me they'd sorted it, obviously they don't know the system because it smply reverted to 100% again. Sorry for the ramble. Great videos by the way, very clear and informative.

Me too tired of hey Mercedes it needs lot of money for conn6

Is this available on the EQE? I can’t find it

I can’t imagine how complicated must be for people who write with is right hand, to handle a British car. 🙂‍↔️ with a left hand.

No disrespect, but that's why I don't like watching ladies doing car reviews as they're generally shorter and can't really reflect on the size of the vehicles. Thanks for mentioning your height.

Thanks for the video

I’ve just bought a used Mercedes but I’m struggling to add my vehicle to the app

Hi Nick… Great video with helpful tips. Learned a lot of useful tips on my Mercedes watching the channel

Looks like a box of steel with weals, I am glad not to be sold in the UK

Watch the review of the Mercedes GLE featured in this video here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKSui4Cahs53g5I

Still leaning . . .

Fascinating but as ugly as the CoOp live building.

PASS we want our 60k back! insurance cost 240 per month, can't reach Tesla by phone, not easy to get repaired ! they don't care about the end users, wheels are bad design they get road rash, just look at every car you see that's a Tesla look at the wheels ! can't open the door at times!!!! PASS the prices are all over the place so our value drops! all top executives need to be canned!!! no stock options too! PASS FIT AND FINISH IS POOR -

The exterior looks are actually pretty neat. But what's with the huge bulky head lights and tail lights? Their shapes are not distinct either. Extremely generic looking, not something I'd want to see on my $50K+ vehicle.

Video is 2 years old and still providing value to Benz user. Thank you for all you do Nick!

hi nick. u have just cost me over £17000 on an a class based on ur vids!!!. nice cars. mines not got carplay. is there any other way to get it instead of 299 from me app?. thanks

Space Karen's Sillytruck.

Good evening Nick, I am the owner of the vehicle Mercedes W177 2019 model I tried to connect it as in the video you show but I couldn't do it because it doesn't show me on the screen the connection of the mobile to the mbux Any suggestions?????

Helpful ..how.do you delete profiles?

I’m stuck with the e450 coupe. The cle looks gorgeous from the exterior BUT i cannot approve of that c coupe interior. I also cannot approve of the b pillar. Not at these prices. Only thing im missing out on at this point is the massage seats. I’ll wait until Mercedes gets their head back on their shoulders and drop the b pillar, switch to e class interior, and v8 engine in their coupes again.

@npoleary Hi Nick, excellent vid as always. We just picked up a 69 plate C Class for the missus. It has smartphone integration code 15u but appears to be missing android/apple maps options ( codes 16u & 17u from some googling). After a back and forth with merc me and the local dealer im stuck with three conflicting answers. A) it has the smartphone integration so i can pay mercedes to unlock this ability remotely, b) it has smartphone integration but stull requires some hardware to enable and will be slightly more costly and c) its not available on thid car. The fact ive been given 3 different answers is worrying and im just looking for an actual answer and dont mind a bit of cost. Still annoyed that a car of this spec doesnt have as standard. Cheers in advance

Thanks Nick, going to try them next time!

Worst aspect I find, you have to pay £299 for Apple car play on a £65k car when my wife’s T-Cross has it as standard, not good.😌

How do you find the indicators quickly if the steering wheel isn't horizontal?

With Downpipe or no?

Hi Nick, i got a 2016 E200. Just want to know how to put on "hold" feature without turning on the start/stop system? Thanks! Will

Can I just say ? I wouldn’t recommend putting your home address into the satnav ,as if ,your car was stolen ,the thief would know where you live ! I have the address of the local police in mine !

"CD's have become a thing of the past" - not for me they haven't!

Does A class sport executive has wireless charging?
