2024 W214 Mercedes-Benz E-Class review in Malaysia - E200 vs E350e PHEV

[@mdjqs]

Looks so much better than the 5ver. I cant comprehend with the 5 series design.

[@TanLiQinAlan]

Honest review! Many pros and cons being mentioned not like other reviewers just talking about 0-100, cornering, little bit of ride quality

[@romyo33333]

You are amazing bro, i saw every review for this car but u have more info and focus on something I wonder to ask Continue bro

[@dsigner]

newer merc going downhill for quality and reliability. now bmw better than merc

[@qazdrivingexperience1205]

Because BMW adapts to a more basic conventional approach in their latest fleet of vehicles, not much complex high-tech gizmos like Mercedes-Benz & Audi , Just like a Toyota . Suitable for the working class, Hence why boosting sales rapidly.

[@mercboy111]

This is the reason why merc sales are tanking. Gone are the days of robust build quality and incredible ICE 6’s and 8’s.

[@watataenjoyer]

Same as bmw banyak masuk workshop

[@dannyfoo3404]

Will wait for a used one. This depreciates like a dog on heat. Great car but no resale value. Will buy at 70% off later. Great safe car on highway… nothing beats a Mercedes..

[@boy638]

EV prices are making these ICE premium sedan prices look ridiculous.

[@amirnazhan]

Poor Audi. Nobody talks about them anymore.

[@AHZS147]

Since they aren't aggressive enough in the marketing world

[@fuangboonyong9885]

Because CBU tax

[@Rndmaniacs]

They don't want to compromise on quality and prefer to CBU (MB and BMW will launch CBU and then CKD), unfortunately for them they are not Lexus so they not going to sell like Toyotas 😅

[@Rndmaniacs]

It's sad that they don't have the exclusive line, which is more heritage.

[@cheekhoonong8376]

Audi are used to be CKD but due to poor demand and problematic to maintain the local franchises closed down and now there is a new dealership but mainly on CBU units because there is not enough volume for CKD program. Being CBU is very expensive which does not give value for money. Therefore Audi is pretty much out of the local market scene.

I am driving the 2017 BMW 5 series currently. I am so so disappointed by the look of the new 5 series but I know some people love the look of it. Paul, you certainly did a great job introducing the two variants of the new E class. Unlike you, I love the look of the back lights compared to the front. I fell in love with the new Mercedes E class because I love the 3 pointed stars tail lights. It looks really cool and elegant to me. I might go for the new E class next year instead of upgrading to the latest BMW 5.

[@I_Am_Talos]

RIP Mercedes hood ornament 😢

[@petemorbius3936]

good Hafiz!!

[@muhamadrosly4058]

Oh dear.... still not comfort same like my W213... looks like need to take G60. High expectations for this w214. So hafriz... this w214 ride and comfort still more or less like W213.. ?

[@hafrizshah4937]

It's far better than the W213, actually, especially the W214 E350e. It's now better at both low and high speeds.

[@johnsonsuachunsern9017]

Hafriz, is headroom okay in the new E Class?

[@stonker77]

Nice review. Do one for the new GLC Coupe.

[@yuenkerlow3283]

Does one not have to worry about the drop in fuel octane that's in the fuel tank when u don't use the petrol engine for months?

[@hafrizshah4937]

The drop would likely be small enough to not matter, but it's still best to use say, RON97 is you are indeed planning to run it exclusively on battery for such a long period. The more significant issue is with engine lubricant degrading, which is why such PHEVs use a specific grade of oil.

[@Musicalchannel024]

Bro can you do zeekr x dept

[@arifazri9913]

Tengok sahaja mampu, beli memang tidak lah. Kereta makin mahal. Gaji sama tak berubah

[@presidentsickboyakajeremyg7070]

LEPASTU BUANG FEATURE PULAK HAIZZ BAIK BELI RECON JE

[@hseochin]

To me basic point # 1 : MUST have upright standing star, otherwise no meaning if a bonneted Mercedes-Benz without standing star ridiculous because upright star IS the Mercedes-Benz tradition which has no business to be removed ?! That's also why good to note they (finally) put back the upright star in the later edition EQS or even V-Class ! These E350e is it using 6-cylinder engine ? If only 4-cylinder then the refinement 'standard' tends to be inferior levels..won't tend to be too basically different from even the base model E200 ?!

[@WanNoorazliMaulaWanSuleiman]

The e class buyers in Malaysia has no taste. They buy because of the 3 pointed star. This is why they prefer the big star at the front. It really looks like the lorry balak from the 80s. But OKB and New Money millionaires tahu apa kan?

[@cheekhoonong8376]

What is so great about the 3 pointed star? That is the old Chinaman thinking when those days majority of Merc buyers are contractors with their popular 240D. Merc hardly care about their customers' preference. They design their cars with the same old design maybe a little bit changes here and there. Now the blue and white roundel is more prestigious.

[@velanrama]

Lorry balak Mercedes 😂😂😂😂😂

[@yslee1401]

Benz in Australia are labelled as endless money pits as they depreciate like crazy due to the poor mechanical reliability, electrical gremlins & both poor material quality in the interior + exterior

[@AllAutoMuseum]

they're labelled as money pits everywhere

[@presidentsickboyakajeremyg7070]

THIS IS WHY RATHER BUY LUXURY CARS RECON BECAUSE MALAYSIA ALWAYS LOSES SPEC BUT WITH HIGH PRICE

[@trustgtr33]

these cars today does not justify the prices, quality and reliabilty is poor due to low grade components..even the chinese ev's are better built with much better specifications..hence the huge drops is sales of these German brands globally...they are running out of status concious brand snobs to sell to..lol

[@cheekhoonong8376]

Merc hardly changed their design not as innovative and bold like BMW. Merc more for old man's car. The worse is they never bothered about the complaint of them using fake exhaust design which gave such a cheap visual. Merc is losing out to BMW in terms of sales

[@jereignjayavenhenryjohn6802]

Say that again 2:08

[@Ayamkenabannedtwice]

Still using reflector lights in 2024

[@zxlrxsyxd]

2:50 ur so wrong hafriz 😂 bmw’s strategy for EVs have proven to be way more successful than merc’s, just look at the EQ line at merc, what a sales flop. interior quality is trash. meanwhile bmw incorporating both EV & ICE powertrain in a combined flexible platform (i4, i5, iX1 iX2 etc) have proven to be much more of a success than merc. their EV sales worldwide (and even locally in malaysia) have trounced both mercedes & audi EVs. and as for your statement where you claimed “bmw thinks the whole world is ready for EV …” bmw’s CEO is one of the leading voices in calling out the EU sales ban on combustion engines in 2035 and bmw as a brand as a whole have reinstated multiple times that they will keep both the inline-6 & V8 alive for as long as they can well into the 2030s. even the next gen M3 will still hv a conventional mild hybrid inline-6 engine variant alongside the fully electric M3.

[@hafrizshah4937]

I completely agree, BMW's EV strategy is indeed far more commercially successful compared to Mercedes'. That's not what I meant at all, though. Was just pointing out the starkly different directions between the two, not that one is in any way better than the other.

[@botakzhai]

The best or nothing

[@keratase1880]

nah not as likeable and iconic as the days of daimler chrysler...

[@zxlrxsyxd]

still fake exhaust tips? smh. also the fact that it doesnt even hv 3 zone climate control (let alone 4) is a crime considering its an E class and that rival bmw gives 3 zone climate for the G20 3 series & 4 zone climate for the G60 5 series

[@yasukizzi]

fake exhaust tips are still there? its gona be quarter century adi helo

[@watataenjoyer]

Nobody buys these cars anymore everybody in this segment going for ev's
