No ventilated seats in a hot country like India and in a car that is over 80 lakhs is purely a shame. Moving the AC vents electronically is so unnecessary!!! Clearly Mercedes India hasn't understood the game. I mean even a Hyundai creta and Skoda slavia costing 20 lakhs has ventilated seats.

[@purvik1535]

For E450 no air suspension,no seat ventilation,no massage function while all of these is available in outer market.

[@chadultrapromax1735]

Imagine paying around 1Cr for this garbage lol

[@vishavsra1116]

​@@chadultrapromax1735 u dont need to worry either way u cant afford it😂

[@kr63]

I’m kinda glad it doesn’t have air suspension. It’s not really reliable on our roads and is insanely expensive to fix.

[@visheshgoel6671]

Once you get used to air suspension you will never go back to steel springs

[@filmyhari9373]

@@chadultrapromax1735 After discounts most probably it will be under 1 Cr, maybe you can order those seats from the company

[@sameet8787]

0-100 taking 8+ secs is so slow for a car of such stature! And no ventilated seats! That’s a shame!! 😣

[@akj2387]

Says the owner of a Maruti 800😂 No one crap talking this car in the comments section can afford it.

[@prabhasreddy3682]

If you can afford it, you won’t be complaining about such minor issues. Once you own a Benz or BMW, you won’t drive anything else and you won’t complain about minor issues like this

[@AbhimanDwivedi-y4z]

In e450 0 to 100 is 4.4sec okkk And there is heated seat with ventilated also okkk

[@SanskarMatere]

Really ​@@AbhimanDwivedi-y4z

[@prayasdash]

This is the base E class with 204 HP and RWD. And if u can afford that, u can definitely afford the AMG line which has everything

[@sagarn007]

Why are reviewers being too nice and don't go hard on missing so many basic features thats costs 1cr and cheap looking capacitive controls.. and silly selfie camera.. ask tough questions for car thats costs so much and dont butter your review..

[@parth2220]

Why they removed the tablet from the arm rest.😢😢😢

[@vikram5491]

Nobody used it, and it was very slow and glitchy after just 2 months.

[@parth2220]

@@noobmasterin69 Adoring something you like doesn't always mean you can afford it too, I like the E class, I adore the sophistication and prestige attached to it, not today but may be in future with god's grace I would be able to buy it, but that doesn't mean I can't talk about the car till I buy it.

[@gameontonite]

Everything is fine until you start sweating. I drive this car for 3-4 hours daily and seats make me sweat through my shirt even with innerwear. I don’t have this issue with my other vehicle. The leather isn't suitable for humid weather. For a car worth 1 crore, proper ventilation is essential.

[@capricornus993]

If you believe Mercs are using genuine leather for their lower models, you’re in for a shocker bud.

[@Tricot124]

Is e class a “lower model”?

[@capricornus993]

@@Tricot124 it’s a premium cab in Europe and Middle East. That should tell you how high or low it’s in the Merc lineup. Atleast Im hoping your brain has that much capacity.

[@Virat18Goat]

Now a days Indian market is chunk. Everybody treat us third. Cutting options in facelift is strange

[@S434-d7y]

This isn't a facelift. Its the all new E-Class

[@Batfleck3830]

When you guys are going to review the e450 4matic?

[@autocarindia1]

As we get it for a test! Stay tuned :-)

[@shresthabiradar2024]

Ground clearance?

[@akksakku5733]

I like the new steering wheel. My W206 C-Class steering looks outdated already!

[@ShellCC]

I'm so disappointed with the E Class in India. They offered just 3 variants and not even the plug in hybrid. Plus the rims looks soo bad... I wish they offered the same rims from Europe. Plus performance wise, the 0-100 is exactly like the 2023 1.5 Turbo Verna. 🤦‍♂I hope Mercedes launches more variants and better rims/quality for India. Other than the Mighty S Class, all other Mercedes cars are just a joke when it comes to features and quality. Rather buy a cheaper car which offers features like ventilation, massage, air suspension etc...

[@edisonpavunny8950]

Is the classic grill ( s class) available with the E 200

[@RaviKSingh]

Great video. The car itself can use some more features, though. If not E200, E450 should have had air suspension, HUD, rear screen, seat ventilation, seat massage, full ADAS suite including Adaptive Cruise Control. Right now that 15L extra is just for engine and digital lights (& bad alloys). I'll switch to 450 is it just had air suspension, seat ventilation and HUD added to it. Sadly, not to be. To manage cost, that selfie camera can be ditched, soft close is pointless (we all gonna be slamming doors anyway), pop out door handles is worth skipping, exciters in the seat are not usable, thigh support extender too was not worth. I'll not even harp of the fact that most of these features are there in 20L car., but not in 95L car. Adding features is need of the hour, but Merc (& BMW) believes in replacing features.

[@edisonpavunny8950]

Can we opt for 19 inch wheels on E 200...

[@masoodkhan618]

Why do your camera men keep the camera angle so low to ground? Why can’t they record at eye level so we know who it looks in normal. For cinematic views it fine not for every single shot u need to keep the camera on the road n record

[@VarunAgarwalphotographer]

[@sameerwakadkar437]

BMW 5 series has more comfort in rear than E class. 3 people can sit comfortably than 2 in E class. By around 6 lakh rs less than E class , 5 series gets 1. Matrix Led High Beam 2. Illuminated Kidney grill 3. More Engine power and torque 4. More ADAS features 5. Front Ventilation seats 6. Rear Tablet points 7. Better Interior quality I think 5 series as a whole package has more value for money than E class.

[@Farzeen-wz8fw]

Better to go with the new 5 series . E class lacks many features and costs more

[@AJ56]

With the E53 being discontinued and being replaced by the E450 LWB, the only way to get a standard wheelbase E is now the full blown E63 🙈

[@vineetg84]

@Autocar India How does this new suspension in the E class built specifically for Indian road conditions compare to the previous air matic suspension in terms of comfort and noise

[@prasunrana761]

What about the ground clearance for this particular variant…?

[@shivakumarbharadwaj8600]

Everything you people explains is ok, now a days everyone is planning to buy SUV's, because especially for its ground clearance, may be this is third time i am requesting you people to mention ground clearance of every car, but still nobody is interested in that, very sad to subscribed your channel......

[@abhishekmadhosh1879]

So the Alloys jst never changed from 2015

[@ravisr3401]

E class (Bare Bones Edition), now also lacks power and is a 4 cylinder turbo petrol I bet they'll charge close to a 1 crore for this...

[@SlappyJeffYT]

Very avg. Interior...dashboard is nothing but screens....last gen interior was better from design perspective

[@ajinkya.r.w1106]

Benz is too eager to tell people that it's a Mercedes Benz with their logo literally everywhere who does it in the taillights lol

[@kukaki5845]

90 lac and no features. No screen no massage no tablet no features..Car looks also sad. Something wrong with the stance.

[@AbhimanDwivedi-y4z]

It is starting from 88 lacs and it has a 40.9 inch screen ok and it has adas level 4 which is not available in rolls Royce And there is heated seated with ventilated and massage seat also okkkkkk

[@prayasdash]

This is the base E class, the E200, spend 10 lakh more and get the AMG line, it gets everything, power of 381 HP which can do 0-100 in under 4.5 seconds, AWD and everything. Mercedes is a brand, not a mass market car.

[@kukaki5845]

@@prayasdash at 90lacs it cant be a mass market car even if it tried especially considering it has pretty much Zero features. No Rear controls even analog ones..when this car is suppose to be passenger oriented. One shouldn’t have to spend a crore to get this or other basic features like ventilated seats rear entertainment massage functions air suspension soft close etc.

Expecting air suspension at least

[@KARAMSINGH-ld9xq]

The recent Benz's have lost their signature Merc appeal and design language...alas! If you remove the three point sign from the front grill and the rear it could easily be mistaken for any lux car from the hyundai/ Kia stable..😂..while the Beemers have still maintained their signature look over the decades and one can spot a Beemer from a mile...I have a 6 series GT and it still seems like a better buy than the E...especially in it's driving dynamics, air suspension, rear entertainment package, boot space etc

[@aachalsaji4290]

Make it a long wheelbase but give tech all at the front 🫡. Third screen is the most useless modern tech invention in cars! At least this gen LWB E class looks better proportioned, pride is better too! Kit is ok not mind blowing. But yes mercedes has a winner!

[@vikram5491]

After the blunder that is the BMW 5 series, merc just sealed their victory in this segment with the E.

[@mohitgupta6357]

204 bhp ...in this car 😅.....my audi a4 half the price has 204 bhp and is faster too ....

[@amandeep1006]

Look same as old one , nothing new mechanically and also on comfort side and price is almost 10-12 lac up from the current model.

[@raghavnijhawan-lj8zn]

Now all the ones using public transport will start the usual whining ( the older ones , this , that ) 🤦🏻‍♂️ It’s exceptionally better than the older one & even the S ( which is an elongated copy paste C to the T ) 💯 S Class is now the stepson ( It’s been reduced on purpose from a flagship to a cheaper / can’t afford- Maybach ( which gets all the goodies , bells 🔔 & whistles the whole thing ) 🤷🏻‍♂️

190 hp and closer to an s class

[@TheAutoEnthusiast91]

8.5 secs 0 to 100, Lol

[@shreyas5311]

The Ac control seems to be distracting,stupid and time consuming An talking about the screen Mercedes screen quality is the cheapest i guess The alloys are the same as old No ventilated seats If the car is ment more for back seat comfort there is practically nothing there no entertainment at all Boot seems to be small Spare wheel is a cut size Mild hybrid so battery will cost soon
