All-New Mercedes-Benz E-Class review // Traditional with a twist

This is a Motormouth couple car review of the all-new 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class, a traditional luxury mid-size sedan.
The Mercedes E-Class has been around for more than 75 years and Mercedes-Benz has released an all new model for 2024. The E 350 and the E 450 will arrive at the beginning of next year.
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz E 350 has a 2L turbocharged 4-cylinder with a 48-volt mild hybrid system, it gets a combined 255 horsepower and 295 lb-ft of torque.
The 2023 Mercedes-Benz E 450, a 3L turbocharged inline-six with the same mild hybrid system, a combined 375 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque. Both have a 9-speed automatic transmission and standard AWD.
In comparison to the previous model, the Mercedes-Benz E 350 has the same horsepower but now gets an extra 22 lb-ft of torque. The Mercedes-BenzE 450 on the other hand has the same torque, but an 13 extra horsepower.
The new 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class sedan is a little bit longer and wider than the outgoing model and the wheelbase is almost an inch longer. It has a little more headroom and rear seat knee room has increased by just under half an inch and legroom by over half an inch. The trunk space has not changed, the E-Class sedan still offers 19 cubic feet of space, same as the outgoing model.
The interior of the 2023 Mercedes-Benz E-Class is very modern and full of new technology. It looks similar to the new Hyperscreen we see in S-Class models, but it is slightly different and unique in its own way. It’s called the MBUX Superscreen and the centre console screen looks like it’s floating on the dash.
You’ll notice the digital driver display is detached and the passenger screen is an optional feature. If you don’t get the passenger screen, a large trim element extends to the centre. The tech is impressive, and you can even choose between sporty and a classic style on the screen. A new compatibility layer allows you to install third party apps and there’s a selfie camera.

Andrea, you make the car look like it’s worth millions!

[@LifelongMusicJunkie]

I have a 2014 E250 Bluetec Diesel with 105K on it and the car is still so smooth and works wonderfully! I have toyed with getting a Tesla or another electric car, but the E-Class is hard to give up. Great video as always folks!

[@Jorge_Magallon]

Great review as always. I’m sure they have always been great, but the “drive-bys” where so beautifully shot. Really great camera work in general.

Great video as always. The way companies like Mercedes Benz give you guys early access to such vehicles says a lot about how big you guys have gotten in such a short time. Keep up the amazing work!

Thanks for the review. I have a 2014 E250 (their 4 cylinder diesel) and have been loving it for over 9 years with no issues at all. It’s been rock solid. Love to see the new one, just wish we could get another diesel in Canada!

[@andreaspencer9813]

They are putting out some great vehicles. While I don't love the look of the new EQ line, these gas models we recently drove are very good. Mercedes-Benz is definitely focusing on refinement, a quiet cabin and a smooth ride which I feel will appeal to many.

[@michaelsylvester7272]

[@kellingtonlink956]

Perfectly balanced styling, and a perfect size. I’d take an E-Class over an A6 or the 5-Series any day. Especially as an estate car. But I still agree about those flush door handles… Why did we need these (potentially problematic handles) when current and/or past door handles actually work and look great? Thanks for the video.

[@yellowhammer3]

Problematic door handles equals $$$ for the service department 😅

[@kellingtonlink956]

Exactly. $$$… Great way of explaining the problem.

[@FirstLast-et3sw]

Flush handles is cheap way to gain added MPGs. Problem is they’re horrendous from a practical standpoint

I’ve always liked the CLS over current e-class but wow this looks great! Love the tail lights and modern interior. A similarly updated GLE would be even better.

[@JayeBass]

too bad they're killing the cls. Im sure it will make its return sometime around or after the 6 comes back from bmw.

[@adesojiadeyeye423]

I love the CLS!!!

[@Bestfriend-650]

As an owner of both GLE suv and E Class Sedan, I always prefer driving the sedan.

[@HoangLe-nw4xg]

[@harleyquebecenrevue3580]

Let’s talk about those door handles. I have an S500 MY 2023. Try sliding you hand on the handle after your car has driven in Toronto with all the salt and winter dirt. Sitting in the car looking for facial tissues to clean your hands. And no, they don’t always pop out when you want them to. BTW, that 6 cylinder is a marvel of technology. The pull of a V8 and economy of 8L / 100km in an S-class. Will never go back to a V8. Yes, I drive a sedan, owned one GLC, went back to a sedan. I am just not a truck driver. About those headlight, it’s amazing how it actually cuts out around the car in front of you. Your high beams are on but the car in front of you does not get blinded, the high beams actually light up around the car in front of you. Instantly tracks around curves, hills flat terrain as well, you have to see it to believe it. Also applies to oncoming traffic. No one ever flashes their lights at you.

[@really9025]

Looks like a nice car but I wonder whether sedans are nearing the end as crossovers seem to be much more practical.

[@chrishernandez2017]

Zach, saw you fueling your Porsche at Chevron in Blaine! Probably heading out for Jays game huh! Or a Swiftie! Next time refuel at exit 260, best price in town! I work in Bellingham but live in South Surrey so it’s a daily commute with my GLA45 AMG!Great review as always. Always looking for your reviews!

[@andreaspencer9813]

Yes Zack and our son Jack went to see the Jay's play. 👌

[@Motormouth...]

Yes, that was us. We tried filling up at that location on the way back but too long a line, I won't line up to save a few bucks, already cheaper than Canada!

[@chrishernandez2017]

You guys are the best! Been watching Zach for 20 years now 😂 I’m always looking forward to both of you and Andrea’s car reviews!

[@MegaAbelt]

Nice. Which Color was the testet e Class ? And what size of Rims ?

[@michaeljordan6008]

It’s really MB’s entry level car. No traditional, long time MB buyer takes the C Class seriously.

[@reganjames3520]

So…..the C63 shouldn’t be taken seriously …..? As a long time Benzophile… you are speaking silly talk.

[@kingakim11]

If so I think that changes with the new C class, it has real road presence.

[@rexvaughn986]

Great Review. How do you like this compared to the 2024 BMW 5 Series?

[@Armen567]

That IS a pretty impressive 0-60, considering the heat and multiple runs.

[@softroseforyou7457]

The car looks great and the technology is great. Can't wait to see it in person and test drive it. Macchiato Beige interior looks amazing. That is the color I would get for the interior. Would probably get white or black for the exterior. Also I am interested in the AMG 53 sedan. Would like to know the horsepower and torque of that car.

[@serkanister3620]

Andrea you shining as usual, kudos to Zach who stole your heart. Love you both

[@shitsugane]

💯 They're great together.

[@supertrooper4353]

Mercedes Benz cleaned up really nicely with the look of this new E-class. Exterior and interior both look upper class, like its bigger brother the S-class, and a peppy, exciting combustion engine even in the present world of EVs! I hope this car stays around for a while and can add this to my garage at some point in the future :)

[@waleedkhan7623]

This car is inside out new !!!

[@bosse1998]

Do you happen to know which market/s will get the Elegance version?

[@tool8337]

As a current E400 coupe driver (28yo) & tech enthusiast, I still prefer the w213 generation. The screens are just a gimmick that don't add real value over the previous gen. Though, I am very relieved to hear that MB used soft-touch unlike in their other recent cars (C and EQ).

[@raould2590]

One of my favourites! This still retains its classical elegance while looking modern! Glad that Mercedes hasnt gone the BMW way and messed up the looks just to "appear modern"!

I would love an EV version of this vehicle. Can’t say I like the EQE so much.

[@coolaa7]

Will the E-Class, 2 door coupe be updated as well?

[@Motormouth...]

Yes, it is now called the CLE, replacing the C and E class coupe. Look on-line

[@JacobMoy-ij5om]

Does this vehicle have massaging seats ? If not is that a option?

[@ak4939]

As an owner of the 2022 E450 All-Terrain (wagon) with the same mild-hybrid and the Inline-6, this model is certainly a bit of an improvement over the 2021-2023 versions. Looks-wise, I like the new version a lot more. However, if they had come out with the “L” (long wheelbase) version of the E-class that they sell in some markets like China and India etc., it would have been a lot more attractive to me. As it stands, it does not go far enough, from a ground-up re-design perspective. Not really a bad thing, but this is more of the same.

[@Motormouth...]

keep the wagon, that will be collectable...

Thanks for this video excellent as always. Indeed, a beautiful car , MB made a better job with E Class than with the new GLC nicely presented recently by you. Austria ? Hope you had a great time there.....not only snitzel and Tafelspitz . Clearly austrian roads are not relevant for the behaviour of the car on Canadian streets with potholes. .

Beautiful car but without buttons - they will be without my order.

[@jjakkad]

Mercedes should change the exhaust tips and make it look like the mercedes logo in tail lights

[@brynleytalbot778]

Only one gripe, I’d like to see the return of matte black window and memory seat switch gear. The ugly command wheel and touch bulge has gone, replaced by a neat flat trackpad. And the exterior has improved, though I’d like to see the sharp crease lines of the old model reappear, because that precision shows quality workmanship, not simple metal pressing. Oh, a final gripe, make a grey headliner an option on AMG models. That dark interior puts me off all AMG variants. But overall Mercedes are back on form, design wise, leading the pack.

[@H2SO4H20]

Perhaps more E-class would be sold in North America if it was as nice as those sold in China. The wheelbase of the 2024 E-Class "L" sold in China will be 143 mm (5.6 inches) longer than that of the standard E-class with all the additional length devoted to rear seat leg room. The Chinese market E-Class also gets some rear seat amenities from the S-Class. Canada gets full functionality of the E-Class matrix headlights with beam shaping but the U.S. market E-Class matrix headlights will continue to operate as traditional high and low beams. It's the same situation for the new HD-Matrix Design LED Headlights on the 2024 Porsche Cayenne - still only traditional high and low beams for the U.S. but full functionality for Canada.

The problem with reviews like these is that the reviewers are incentivized to gloss over the negatives. Otherwise the manufacturers will not invite them to these events again.

Actually manufacturers prefer us to be honest and are just fine with criticism.

[@tywanjames4427]

​@@jeree477Bullsh-t. They can get feedback from actual car buyers.

[@Eli-kq7qt]

​@tywanjames4427 unfortunately your wrong. While every car reviewer has their biases, it has nothing to do with trying to please the manufacturer. In the first place people like Zac and Andrea only get invited to events like these because the manufacturers respect their opinion. Why does the manufacturer respect their opinion you ask??? For one thing they've been in this business for awhile. Secondly manufacturers know that when people want to know about their products these days, the main place they head to is "KZbin Automotive Reviewsers" like Zac & Andrea. No, I don't know them personally. But it's just down right distasteful to accuse people that you don't know of being liars. Because thats basically what you did. Yes! The manufacturers definitely try to show all these KZbin reviewers a good time. That's par for the course. But no reviewer worth their salt is going to jeopardize their channel or their reputation especially for manufacturers who only listen to them bc of their viewership...before you speak listen and know a little something about what your talking about. And yes I do have background in cars and dealerships for your info.
