2017 Mercedes-Benz E-Class - Review and Road Test

[@nasafan2008]

This one is a definite upgrade to the previous ones. This is my 3rd E class. I custom ordered mine so I was able to get exactly what I want and not have to pay for what I don't want. I have the P3 with the dual 12.3 widescreen. The dual screen is a HUGE difference in the interior look of this vehicle. The displays are amazing. If you are able to, without question get it! Overall this car is a nice ride. Interior is well designed and offers plenty of room. The drive is smooth, quiet and handles really well. The dynamic seat feature where the seat fills with air on the opposite side of your turn keeping you in center position is awesome. People knocking the 4-cyl are most likely ones that don't own this vehicle and haven't spent much time with it. Fact is this car moves. This has more power and secondary torque than the previous ones and more than most in its class. The engine might run slightly noisier than others, but not too noticeably. You have to really be looking for it. Where this car can improve is actually on it's technology believe it or not. While marketed as the most technologically advanced vehicle, it simply isn't. The autonomous driving is iffy at best. While on the freeway it will go out of well marked lanes quite often even as it's showing onscreen that it recognizes the lanes. The parking pilot misses available spots quite often rendering this feature not too useful. The remote start is absolutely useless. If you do research you'll see several MB customers are having issue with remote start. Interesting how such a long time high end auto manufacturer can't develop a reliable remote start system/app while pretty much every auto manufacturer out there has one that works near flawlessly. How does this happen? Anyway, just my experience after having this vehicle for a couple months.

[@navenprasad8833]

I have the 17 e300 rwd with 110k miles bought it with 25k miles still going strong. Love my E class.

[@navenprasad8833]

@MercedesEClassLover now at 120k only did spark plugs coolant and transmission flush and 5k miles synthetic oil changes no issues still

[@michelleclark181]

​@@navenprasad8833that's good to know. I'm gonna get me a new car soon. I be looking at Chrysler 300c, Dodge challenger, Camaro 2ss, but this E 300 done caught my attention.

[@michaelking5329]

The E-Class is a great car with so many amenities. I truly love my E300!!!

[@arikbuka1115]

See ur face my servant has better face than you and people like you are having mercedes undeserving bastard

[@93455Driver]

E class, 5 series, ES, CTS, XF, G80 etc., so many choices....think of these as 3 yr old off lease deals, great stuff.

[@TheGardenMG]

I always go with MB CPO, throw in another $2K and you get total of 4 years of factory warranty, great deal.

[@shawnmoore2736]

93455Driver the lexus gs not the es

[@93455Driver]

Good point.

[@BigBoss-ps6vk]

E class interior is the best in class. Would love to pick one up after about 3 yrs

[@yungjr1gh]

@A V how many miles is that and recommended?

[@andreblackaller3560]

A V don’t get the 4matic man

[@MyMegaMango]

André Blackaller why not?

[@andreblackaller3560]

Vladimir Vasquez it’s exponentially more expensive to keep

[@johnniecannon3365]

A V haha me too

[@bennettvu957]

I miss the back lights on the old E-class 😭😭

[@akeemmolina297]

You guys are simply amazing! So professional. I will disagree on the engine noise note. I had this car as a loaner a couple of weeks ago, and although it doesn't behave like a 4 cylinder it does have a pretty cheap sound when you stand next to it. All that aside it is an AMAZING sedan!

[@kelvinowusu974]

😅

[@mkkeable]

I'm a chauffeur and I drive a 2018 Mercedes e 200cdi and spending ton of time driving it I'd say it is wonderful! Only con is that pairing your phone is a bit too complicated. I'm an Audi guy, but I'd rather get this than the new A6.

[@blitzboy227]

Impressive review. I usually only watch Micah's reviews, This guy is getting better and better. :D

[@gilbertmendoza8786]

One of the few times I enjoyed the comedy in a car review video. Well done!

[@TristanDrijver]

What a beauty.

[@py1211]

I cannot agree both the new e or c class are good looking cars, the s class looks gorgeous tough.

[@minecraft9037]

When the e class is better than Lincolns flagship

[@farism5313]

Michael Taffe i think the Continental is a mid size luxury just like the E class

[@Sevan_UP]

Michael Taffe and when Lincolns flagship cost 10-11k less than the e class and has similar features

[@SDav21]

sevan grigoryan It's the quality of the features that makes a difference. A Lincoln may for example have a reverse camera but the quality if the image it displays sucks. It's not always about the amount of features but the quality of them which is why it costs more here.

[@1911beauty]

I could not disagree more!

[@michaelmcmillon5933]

Shiraz A me too I actually did buy one and don’t regret it

[@chrisdblue]

i cant wait for the coupe to come out :O, it will b stunning.

[@dans6162]

4:59, that's a C class.

[@PKMNFan4664]

You sure are right! I didn't even notice because all of the new Mercedes-Benzes look so similar to me.

[@MrBrandonNewell]

I'm not a MB fan at all, but this is a beast!

[@Alex-vy1ll]

The backup camera clip had me in stitches hahaha 6:30

[@pmk4343]

I still prefer the look of the pre facelift w212.

[@HoofHearted2DAY]

You didn't storm off into a random paddock out Woop-Woop at the end like that Kia Optima video 😂 😛 - kidding, your reviews are always a good watch 😁

[@tahj677]

Ford Fusion Sport....LMFAO. That was just great.

[@stevieg3078]

Zero to 60 numbers would be nice. Also mpg numbers on all engines choices.

[@Agent77X]

Love the this non touch screen! Many people just cannot handle something as complicated as a touch screen operation. It took me over 6 months to actually do a "touch" on the screen. Mercedes did a good job of simplifying the operations of the LED screen and eliminating the "touch" in the screen.

[@MrBrown78]

You are amazing at these reviews! I subbed

[@stoi7098]

I'm in the 2004 E-class, love it

[@quinby123]

Saw some familiar streets in Corona del Mar and Newport Coast where these cars are seen daily.

[@designerbumpercovers-luxur7673]

We have made a leather wrap around product that covers all of the rear bumper of E300 and prevents paint scratch and minor dents.

[@krishna4021]

We have a 2020 E350. E350 has more power and torque than E300. I love ❤️ both cars ... very smooth ride

[@Narrowcros]

Dam that interior though makes it worth it

[@Manbeast222]

It sucks that 4Matics of any class are so hard to come by in California. They practically have to order them specifically for you. Looking to get this E300 4Matic, great review!!

[@user-nx1qe3fg2h]

“Don’t you tired of being wrong all the time”? Me - “Yes”.

[@charleserickson7524]

I'm pretty disappointed there is not mention of the Volvo S90 in the list of competitive vehicles. It doesn't carry the same stigma these cars do, is equal in terms of build quality and equipment offerings, has a more intuitive and attractive interior, and last but not least offers a significantly better value for money than all of the competition. Yet it still isn't even an after thought in this video. What am i missing?

[@chrissorreda4982]

Charles Erickson Don't cry bro. Volvo has a long way to go to establish their brand in the luxury market. Don't get me wrong, i love them and am waiting for the next gen V40. But this is only the first time Volvo has properly stepped in the luxury segment. If you wanna argue, go ahead.

[@justrandomthings319]

Because Vovlo is for boring old people.

[@SpaghettiKillah]

I bet you've never set foot on a new S90. Yes on video and on paper it does look like a great car/bargain, but not in real life. So I went to the Volvo dealer and tried a fully speced S90. Sorry but the interior is INFERIOR to the E Class which I drive daily. Not the actual design which is actually very nice, more modern, but the materials used. they feel A LOT MORE flimsy, cheaper, less solid than those on the E Class. Which is why they are now offering a 20% discount on the S90 already !! 5 Series and E Class are just tough tough opponents in the category. The S90 is not selling as well as they expected it. Their SUV and crossovers yes. Don't get me wrong, it is a very nice car, just not for the 60k € price they're asking. 45-48k €...yeah maybe for some.

[@davidrobinson3148]

Rented a fully loaded S90 in LA. Interior and exterior are 10/10, better than every other brand. BUT, the ride quality was extremely spongy and floaty, in a nauseating way. Would not buy the s90 over the e class

[@liberalweirdo7886]

I find the Mercedes interior nicer than Volvo’s. And if we’re going to include Volvo then we need to make mention of the Cadillac CT6

[@akashnijjar89]

There were times when one could tell which mercedes is which , just by looking at it. Now they all look alike.

[@alanexknight9810]

AKASH SINGH The fronts of BMW looks the same too. The back of most Audi's look same too. The body style of lexus looks same too.

[@akashnijjar89]

Alanex Knight True that.

[@chicagospecial6325]

Doesn’t matter you can’t afford it ha

[@gregmach3]

@@alanexknight9810 no Lexus makes their little differences. I can definitely tell an IS, ES, GS, LS..

[@thebengal9699]

So they added that weird purple glass in the windshield that S-Classes and Bentleys have huh? I like it. It screams fancy. Anybody know what that is?

[@edgarruiz8504]

Looks more like a c class than an s class to me.

[@TheLifeOnHigh]

Edgar Ruiz agreed, except the C-class looks better in top trim.

[@pokerNGold]

Old comment but I agree which is why I would opt for the luxury trim of this model. Same with the 2014-2016 E class.

[@BamideleSamuel-u7g]

Wow with doe respect i wish i could have one but military job in my country is not giving me any hope to have one but honestly i wish i could god bless Mercedes for beautiful car wow

[@mikegrant814]

Why is Mercedes making all there cars look like the s class it's getting repetitive 😑

[@JasonTeow]

Michael Grant because it's nice? Duh, why all BMW looks same ok it's front. Same question

[@Vampire_born_in_2006]

bmw front, acura front metal thing, lexus same grill on many new models, etc etc

[@asiankid9900]

Yeah thats why I don't wanna buy a mercedes. There design needs to be different

[@JMNTN]

Michael Grant Mercedes always made very similar looking klasses

[@RazsterTW]

If you look at the Nissan Maxima from the front. All these cars are looking all the same. Also, did you notice the plastic chicken wire grill and fake plastic inlets on the front bumpers. Why do this?

[@Jezzrichjames]

Brilliantly executed video, except for the image of the Mercedes C class instead of the hybrid Mercedes E class.

[@fredcrane8723]

in 2 years it will sell for $25k or less. never ever will I buy a brand new car.

[@dimitarnikolov9182]

Smart

[@ramongonzalez4385]

Dont think so is price high

[@s0y_s0y26]

It’s been 2 years and there selling in the $50k range I might buy one at an amazing deal half the price of msrp

[@jimmyvien3094]

Platinum Gaming you can now easily find one for less than 30k

[@summerbreeze5758]

Only millionaires with disposable income buy brand new. They like to be the first and only owner

[@awkpanda]

Hey ohhh Newport Beach!

[@danngo1675]

It's true that the interior of the E Class tops the interiors of the Jaguar XJ and Lexus LS, but let's not forget, both of them are REALLY OLD. The Jaguar XJ is close to being 9 years old, and the essentially mechanically unchanged since 2006. 10 years!

[@Kevbox2008]

I learned a long time ago, touch screens in cars are unnecessary and sometimes pointless because in order to use it, you have to look at it, which takes your eyes off the road. I don't care for touch screens in cars. #Tesla

[@jaikarchatha1967]

Kevbox2008 Apple car play and Android auto suck without a touch screen

[@goergeibrahim6417]

They can put the car on self drive so you can do on the screen what you want

[@mayurk6287]

Quick question. When will the review for the 2017 Toyota Highlander be released?

[@MaestroWenarto]

I love my 2019 version

[@christopherfreeman3357]

My cousin haves one just like this. She's so lucky.

[@bigden2755]

anxious to see what the coupe looks like ????

[@ShivamSharma-zd8lw]

Viewers, please do not opt for the air suspension, you will spend more time in the shop than on the road if you do

[@MaryStoryTime]

I like your reviews

[@justrandomthings319]

Almost $80k for a four cylinder. C'mon...

[@alexdaley3997]

Actually you're paying for the logo, equipment and wow factor people get when they see you driving down the street.

[@dcharizard91]

Alex Daley Wow factor of...that's a nice C-class...oh wait it's an E300. You paid how much for a turbo-4? This car doesn't have leather? Wow...

[@SDav21]

chancy319 A car's cost isn't just made up of its engine. Why should the engine size determine its price. The cost will include the level of engineering, the quality, the technology and certain things you can't see but will feel when driving it. This makes the E Class a bargain.

[@SDav21]

Alex Daley No. One is also paying for the engineering, quality and other intangible stuff you can't see but will feel when driving it.

[@pete23234]

It has the same amount of torque as the outgoing 3.5L V6 and is lighter and all around i better

[@BrandnBailey]

Do a midsize luxury sedan comparison test!!

[@MrRedhothitsng]

Nice car... but didn't see it a lot in LA... not selling? I think I've only seen it 2 times on the road.

[@scenicroutetravelers3655]

Maybe I'm missing something , but the Lincolns seem just as good or better.

[@mahinahmed2316]

This car is really awesome...bit when you look at the side view of the car., you will notice the bonnet is bit long and that makes it kinda awkward

[@nealcaffrey1506]

anyone knows whats the background music of the video PLZ~~~?

[@ethanvovan]

Can you do more reviews in Newport Beach?

[@TYAC_red]

What is the music underlying the video? From 0:03

[@bl00dra1nn]

it looks like a taxi

[@nicktran7992]

You forgot to mention this vehicle required run flat and it will cost you $1500+ to replaced. I know, I just paid for it at discount tires.

[@ascott2168]

Hmmm, the mid 90s early to mid 2000 E-classes were stylish and unique ! The exterior looks too similar to the C-Class. The interior looks awesome however and more than makes up for the exteriors play dough look !!

[@apple_cider1207]

fuck that. go big, or go home. S Class all the way.

[@ycnexu]

"You are wrong." I liked that.

[@volcom52002]

The only problem is that the E class is just a bigger C class.

what song was playing at the beginning of this video 😬

That back up camera though.

Who would buy a black one with 4 cylinders unless they're taxi drivers?

[@MovieTrailerTeam]

Did you say 7 Passenger Wagon?

[@oririona5462]

The E class is nice 241 hp not bad for a 4 cylinder though and a 2 litre engine

[@chicano323]

Did you not add the comparison picture of Audi & Volvo because Mercedes doesn't beat them? Just curious.

[@popcorn32145]

why do they tilt the steering wheel?

[@kmd1033]

Saw it at the L.A. auto show. The instrument panel looks like crap. It looks like the designers got bored before they finished designing the interior of the car and slapped a couple of ipads in place of the instrument cluster. It's like a digital display on a rolex watch....completely cheapens the look..

[@jordanbibbs]

the new four cylinder is more powerful and responsive not to mention more efficient than the outgoing 6 cylinder. So it was a smart move for mercedes.

[@dcharizard91]

Jordan Bibbs but not as refined or aurally pleasing.

[@alexsystems2001]

I don’t get it, almost $80k, Mercedes couldn’t have made their V6 more powerful, more responsive and more efficient than the old one? No offense I just don’t understand it, if I want a 4, Honda, Hyundai, Kia, Acura, Toyota, Nissan, and Lexus, yes Lexus hybrids and stuff, all have fantastic 4 cylinder engines, even the C-Class and BMW’s have 4’s but I’m looking at a Mercedes here and I’m looking at nearly $80k. The new 4 cyl Honda Accord touring had nice amentities, and has almost identical HP output for a car half the price. Lane keep assist, pre collision, radar cruise control etc etc. I want something to set me apart for the price that’s all.

[@CalebRulez2]

The interior is flawless, but the exterior is now bland. It doesn't really stand out in my eye compared to the last generation E-Class.

[@quanronghu4900]

Hmm ..... Even though it's the best but no touch screen...

[@richyyu]

Nathan Nan touch screen is terrible in a car

[@quanronghu4900]

Well, tell me about it ,how is it terrible? How is better than touch screen where you can just get to where you want to go with a tap with your finger? In a Mercedez, you need to scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll to get to where u wanna go.

[@richyyu]

Nathan Nan You make it sound like leaning your arm forward towards the dashboard while driving and navigating through the screen making sure you actually tap the icons is convenient and safe. When on the other hand, you can have a knob that does all that work for you. Mercedes interface is one of the easiest and fastest to navigate. This is judging from my family's infiniti touch screen and my E-class knob

[@quanronghu4900]

I got medium length arms and my touchscreen isn't far away from me, not everybody needs to lean forward. See, the thing is, you can't just say all the touch screens are bad and slow, a lot of them have better processors than Mercedez's

[@quanronghu4900]

I don't think it's unsafe, I thought using Mazada 3's infotainment system was unsafe, which also has a screen and a knob just like this E class.

[@DutchManticore]

Who cares if its a 4 cylinder. Especially in Europe where fuel is REAALLY expensive this is a massive plus. Its got decent performance, and on the way tot work it sips fuel

[@mohdnoor9974]

Fun review

[@TheAndiBay]

This new generation of E class looks more like a C class than S class

[@fathergangclothing5128]

I must have this E class!

[@jesusa.2927]

Which trim model is this??

[@ViciousVickdunks]

Car is amazing

[@mikepekala5832]

This coming from a 2012 E350 owner optioned with p2, pano, designs color, leather (doesn't come standard), AMG wheels etc: $69,000 I WILL NOT BUY AN E-CLASS with LESS POWER than an Accord v6 sport. My E-Class 3.5 300+ Hp can barely but satisfyingly beat it. That being said the E43 looks like an option, the E63 has $1,000 front brake rotors. $1,000 for each just the part with no labor. So that was never an option.

[@Davoodoox1]

Would buy this used now if it had a V6.

[@jaisango]

If they built a 24 kt gold car with a toilet...microwave yall would complain abt something

[@tarikporic]

There’s always room for improvement
