2020 Mercedes E350 In Depth Look & Review

[@maddcrz]

I love that you’re a Mercedes enthusiast!!!!

[@airya_r5252]

I just got a 2011 e350 yesterday and im in love with it but my goal is build enough to buy a new version one day.

[@johnfairbairn_1111]

I have the 2014. It’s a gorgeous car Ray!

[@jacquelineblunt5338]

I’m gearing, more towards the 2020 E450 class for my wife. But I absolutely liked your excellent review. I first purchased an E class for my wife back in 1990. It’s overdue for a luxury ride like the E450.

[@ianmollyandre]

Upon reading your comments, I hope you did purchase the 2020 E450 for your wife. Just to let you know, last month i purchased a 2019 E450 with 48,000kms in grey. It is such a magnificent car to drive,I live in Sydney, Australia.

[@luvtotrade2009]

currently have a Lexus LS350 and have always loved beemers but recently I've been falling in love with the Mercedes E series

[@JamesSalvatore]

They are all good options

[@williebender1895]

The E class is so nice I just don’t think the S class is worth the money anymore

[@JamesSalvatore]

Honestly you have a point there just best value is the E class especially if you get the E 450 and spec it with a designio interior you get nappa leather and diamond quilted stitching everywhere for way less👌🏻

[@williebender1895]

James Salvatore yes I agree when I bought my E class it was next to the S class but loaded very similar. The 50-60k ain’t worth the 6-7 inches of room in the back and I was still able to chauffeur in it.

[@williebender1895]

Great review by the way very informative I pray the channel grow to where you want it

[@JamesSalvatore]

I agree its really only if you want the bigger car you get the S class

[@JamesSalvatore]

Thank you I appreciate that, and with people like you supporting the channel I'm sure it will👌🏻

[@LBSNor1234]

Great review and great channel!

[@JamesSalvatore]

Thank you I appreciate that with all the time.e that goes into this I try my best for you guys

[@emedel5772]

A great review. I freakin love my E 350. It's definitely worth every penny. I'm still discovering new things about it too. My one and really petty complaint are that driving in South Texas, my 350 came with seat warmers instead of seat coolers. Seat coolers for year-round South Texas scorching heat would have been soooooooo much more practical.

[@Omar-of4ys]

Hi, I’m looking to buy one very soon, how is the driving experience of the 2020 E350?!

[@jagerardi]

@@Omar-of4ys Just got mine yesterday. Previous car was a 2010 Jaguar XF Premium, and this is about the same as that car in terms of luxury and feel, but doesn't have the power (That was 385HP/380lbs-feet of torque.) It is does feel incredibly solid and responsive. Entry is a little tight because it doesn't have a really big door, but I set up Seat Memory 3 to move everything back. Only drawback is that - in typical German technological engineering, it seems like the controls are kind of overly complicated. If mine has a touchscreen, I can't find it; after 2 hours of looking, I can't get Apple Car Play to work, and I still haven't found out how to save a radio station to a memory slot. But I found the same issues with a BMW, and not quite so much with Audi. (To me, Audi have become boring, mundane cars, save the R8.) Early verdict? I'm happy to have gotten it. If Jaguar hadn't emasculated their engines and made their cars rather pokey (best engine in the XF is now a V6 Turbo 340HP- 40 less than my 14 year old V8) I would have gotten another XF, but this one is pretty damn good. ..Joe

[@dirkmaerten9203]

Since 1 month I own a Mercedes E350. But mine does 313 hp instead of 255 you told. A magnificent car.

Nice congratulations on getting the car👌🏻

What year is your E350 unless it is tuned the 2014-2016 E350 4matic makes 302HP the E400 makes 329 Hp the 2020 E350 is just a rebadged E300 it makes 255hp same engine found in the C300

I recently leased the 2019 E300...how is the 2020 E350 different? The body and the interior pretty much seems the same, but are there any upgrades from the 2019 to the 2020 E-Class model?

[@JamesSalvatore]

There really isn't significant changes to the 2020 model they didn't even add the new MBUX infotainment system. They primarily just rebranded the E Class lineup with the introduction of the E 53 AMG, the previous E300 is now the E350 the previous E400 is now the E450 the E 43 AMG is now the E53 AMG. So just rebranding and options packaging differences you didn't miss out on anything significant👌🏻

[@karenhughley1257]

@@JamesSalvatore My lease will be up in December 2021, do you think the E-Class body will change by then?

[@JamesSalvatore]

Probably either a facelift or complete redesign. There was a complete redesign in 2017 so it's halfway through the typical 6 year body style life cycle

[@raghavendrats8204]

Hii James, I am from India and first of all you have done a very good job. Thank you for the nice vedio and a very neat presentation. I loved it. It's a very good car. And I am looking for diesel version of the same E350 since yet to Launch.

[@JamesSalvatore]

Thank you a lot of time goes into putting these videos together so I'm glad to hear it's making a difference, and it's cool that I'm even reaching different countries👌🏻

[@JamesSalvatore]

Good luck with finding a diesel one I'm sure they will come out in your country soon

[@jafloresl]

Hey James, nice video, it seems you really know what you are talking about. One request, can you make a video comparing the 2020 E350 model with the 2017 E300? You can save some $25,000 dollars if you can get a low mileage car (like less than 20k miles). I do not see a lot of differences but would like to know your opinion. Thanks.

[@JamesSalvatore]

Thank you I appreciate that! I'll see what I can do to get my hands on one but at first glance having driven a 2017 version not much has changed the 2017 is a great value to buy right now. With the introduction of the E 53 AMG Mercedes changed the naming it's basically the same. 2017 E 300 has the same motor as the new 350 and the E400 of 2017 that had the v6 is now the E 450, and the 2017 e43 is now the 53 I feel like they just changed their branding strategy to help differentiate models better.

[@JamesSalvatore]

If you can find a 300 off a lease I recommend you get one it's a great car and it won't feel outdated in years to come as long as you find one with the dual 12.3 inch screens and make sure that it has apple carplay this way your infotainment system is always updating.

[@jafloresl]

@@JamesSalvatore Actually I just got a 2017 E300 with only 13,400 miles, I think it was a very good purchase (saved like 25k dollars compared with a new model). It has the premium package, AMG sport style, parking assistance, and a lot of things, one thing it does not have is the front camera and the dual 12.3 display, but I can live with that :). It has the Android and Apple play and it works great.

[@JamesSalvatore]

That's an awesome deal congratulations on the new car, with only 13k miles it's practically new enjoy it👌🏻

[@kareeminyourdream]

I don't get why they didn't include the MBUX system in this. All other 2020 Mercs have it

I’m waiting for all the Mercedes vehicles to follow the “shark front” design language

[@JamesSalvatore]

It's definitely my favorite brand I love where they are going with the design language👌🏻

[@Michael.Chapman]

@@JamesSalvatore I can forgive the catfish/ shark nose-what I CANNOT accept is a 2021 E63 AMG being in reality fitted with a puny hybrid 4 cylinder motor. I much prefer truth in advertising--that is an ‘E63' should have a massive V8 and an ‘E350’ needs its purring, sophisticated, under-stressed, high-power/ litre V6. Both these iconic models are now dead and will be produced with highly-stressed, blown 4-cylinder ‘power’ plants… very sad to witness such a turn of events when fuel cost is the very least of expenses in owning a MB and those mighty engines ARE the stuff of legends...

[@thenobelswipegoatnobleswip771]

The 14 and 20 look the same outside u think 2021 going to be a big change

[@JamesSalvatore]

I think 2022 otherwise there would have been an announcement for the new style

[@Zanzibar2Far]

I thought the E350 was a 3 litre V6 twin turbo diesel, that's what ours is, here in the UK?

[@JamesSalvatore]

Maybe for the European market, here it isn't they change things for the North American market

[@Michael.Chapman]

In truth the E350 model debuted around February 2005 as an update to the W211 E320. The W211 E350 came with a superb, naturally aspirated, all aluminium, quad cam, V6 3.5L petrol engine-designated the M272. It is under stressed and powerful, producing just on 270 BHP at 6000 rpm and 350 Nm between 2600 and 5000 rpm. The E350d's motor is a turbo-diesel, with which you’re likely more familiar than I. Not sure but it may have debuted in the W212 chassis?

[@TheWasteAccount]

so the new C class, the new A class and the new GLE/GLS class has the new interior design and the new infotainment system, but not the E class ? How come? the E class is more expensive than both A and C

[@JamesSalvatore]

I'm not quite sure I think it's because they redesigned the E class for 2017 right before those cars came out so the E is due for a facelift for 2021

[@TheWasteAccount]

James Salvatore youre right.. so it would be better to buy a used 2017 e350 for 30k less probably. No outstanding change anyways

[@mrdrooboiii8116]

led JEEEMM ha 2017 ? Try 2018 e350 low mileage . For 23,000 no lie here in California. Cheap interior cars

[@Mr.Preston3991]

I had a 2004 lincoln ls with 280 horse power. I think a car of that size needs at least 300 hp. Especially today.

[@JamesSalvatore]

Yeah I agree they make a more powerful version however I think they make a 4 cylinder version for people that just don't care

[@likeasambud9817]

4 cylandwr E class? Excuse me? LMAO wtf

[@JamesSalvatore]

Yeah idk why they did that but they did

[@JoeKolinger]

I’ve had it a month now. The 4 cylinder is definitely adequate. I was pleasantly surprised. I like fast acceleration. This is my second e class. You can only go so fast on public roads. I was getting on the freeway yesterday. I hit 75 by the time I merged with traffic ... that was going 70. And I was not pushing it. I find it enjoyably quick. I’m really surprised it only has 4 cylinders. Salesman advised me to save my money and forego the bigger engine. No regrets.

[@likeasambud9817]

Joe Kolinger fair enough. Saving money while still getting all the luxury is a smart choice.

[@Rezvan7171]

Beautiful design but the back lights kiddie😀

[@JamesSalvatore]

Yeah I agree they could have done a bit more there

[@LBSNor1234]

Listen to the thing idle. Sounds like a diesel. I know that’s what a 4 cylinder sounds likes but for the money they want I need a real engine.

[@JamesSalvatore]

I agreed the next car I get I will be getting a 43 or a 63

[@LBSNor1234]

I just had one for two days as a loaner and I really wanted to like it but I didn’t. Why do you think Mercedes changed the name from an E300 to an E350? They figure a bunch of people will think this thing is a six cylinder like the old ones.

[@JamesSalvatore]

I think that's exactly why they did it

[@JamesSalvatore]

Honestly if I were to buy an e class it would have to have the v6 however for someone who is just looking for a luxury experience the 4 is ok

[@JamesSalvatore]

That was one of my first class videos I've learned a lot since

[@Michael.Chapman]

As a Mercedes-Benz enthusiast of over 25 years standing I WANT MY E350 to have a lovely, way under-stressed, highest-tech, real V6 motor producing just under 300BHP. I DON’T EVER want to find an overstressed and hyper-strained garden variety FOUR-CYLINDER with force fed ram induction via whatever method under my bonnet. This is anathema to true fans of the marque! It is also misleading, deceptive marketing to call the car reviewed an E350. The terminology of ‘E350’ is understood by us enthusiasts (who helped MB become what it is today!) as being an E-Class with a 3.5L V6… this new false labelling move is appalling. The reviewed vehicle is in reality a poor 4-cylinder E200 that’s being forced to output far more power than is reasonable for its longevity. The customer can worry about longevity ramifications and expensive repairs down the track…by that time MB has reaped the dubious rewards of what ‘great’ fuel economy the little engine can manage… As a long-term Benz owner I know from experience that fuel cost is the LEAST expensive aspect of owning a MB. Long live the real, old-school E350, E500, E55 & E63 AMG :-)

[@Glitch.-_-.]

Bro the cops

[@philreynolds6018]

It should be called an e200 with 4 cylinder underpowered mouse engine running on premium fuel , have to pay extra for leather faced seats , suspension could be better over bumps , if you want a 6 cylinder you pay alot more and you have to get the less than reliable 4 matic As unreliable as BMW's are I would rather get a 5 series
