Much better than the latest cars from BMW. And it's me - BMW fan says that

[@natusMCMII]

Agreed, idk what's up with BMW in the last few years, their design department went crazy on 95% of the BMW catalogue...in a negative way...

[@CapitanHarlockisback]

The center of the steering wheel comes in cheap plastic, incredible.

[@Anti-FreedomD.P.R.ofSouthKorea]

It's also used in the newest aston martin models, they replaced their hand stitched steering wheels for the new mercedes plastic ones lol

[@ValentinMorio]

The funny part is, it does not even come with a leather finish on the EQS. Just the S-Class and all the Maybach models get it wrapped in leather... Cost saving at this pricepoint - insane.

[@martinsvensson6884]

They feel so f-ing cheap compared to the old MB:s. I dont see how it needs to be expensive even... What material was the old steering wheels in a facelifted w123 for example? It wasnt leather... Still it felt substantial. Very not toy like. Padded vinyl?

[@_Atomic_impact]

BMW as Well. Maybe there is a requirement behind it

Still better than the new G60😭😭

[@davidfujkk8018]

Best hybrid system ever developed by mercedes benz and amg,they got rid of that heavy rear mounted electric drive unit with that unnecessary 2 speed heavy gear box,this new hybrid system uses yasa uk based company that owned by mercedes,yasa developss super light weight electric axial flux motors that sits between the engine and gearbox just like mercedes mild hybrid systems and it doesnt weigh more either,they also got battery pack with double energy density,all of that means 2025 e53 hybrid electric system weighs less than 150 kg which half of what we can find in c63 se and gt63 s e and 200 kg lighter than what amg uses in 2023 s63 s e performance,they have done an amazing job,this is what amg and it's hybrids should be engineered,only car enthusiasts know whats going on with 2025 e53 hybrid,i hope they will use this new electric platform in their entire hybrid line up especially amgs

[@martinsvensson6884]

No it doesnt. It looks like an arcade game. Very distracting. An ergonomic catastrophy. Looks like a 12-year old boy designed it. And how does it feel when you touch things? Plasticy as usual?

[@Masterguy635]

Its leagues better than the new 5 series. But i think if they painted the portion around the grille in body color it would look much better.

[@shamanprime]

Definitely go with the mat interior. Car manufacturers pretend to ignore that glossy surfaces are a scratch magnet.

[@AlexandruWesternSpirit]

The standard trim with matte wood looks a lot better! Wow

[@yanis_s500]

I am proud to be an owner of Mercedes, because these new cars are so beautiful & agressive! Really love these new models, look absoutely incredible!

[@bluegrassbabe1]

I love the dash when its wood and not all screens.

[@anilmirap]

The color, rims and chorme accents on exterior, the seats, color and wood design in interior and every other single option is best of the best for the estate version! But Thomas’s review is the best thing in this video.

To be honest That wooden Interior without that unnecessary screen makes it the most compelling interior of the trinity at present!

No, you’re not the only one, Thomas. I hate the hyper screen. It’s such an unnecessary gimmick.

[@peglor]

I had to rewind to check again when he said 460 liters for the boot space on the estate. How is it so small on a car that's so big? The Superb and Passat boots are are 200 liters, or over 40% bigger. It definitely hasn't been used for rear passenger leg room either, so I suspect the hybrid battery is using up all the space - and any possibility of having a spare tyre. I'm also curious what the weight distribution and handling are like if the battery is behind the back axle. A bunch of the VAG group hybrids were found to spin out of control on 'elk test' type maneuvers due to the weight of the battery in the back, while the non hybrid versions were fine, and the laws of physics don't change just because there's a different badge on the front.

Well first of all VAG cheats a bit with the boot sapce. It's measured from the bottom till the cover. So what they do, is they measure with the false floor removed. Our Golf variant has like 600l of space. But with the false floor in so you have it level with the sill, you loose like 100l space. Now as the E class has a large floor are for the boot, the height decrese hurts it a lot. Also it's a premium car with a longitudinal engine, which takes up more length than a transverse engine in a Passat/Superb. Then you add in the premium gap, and a big one as it's an E class not a C class. Finally there's packaging. MB didn't really update their platform for better battery placement, so they put in the rear, in a flat rectangle under the trunk, above the rear suspension. Then they put the charging stuff under it, where the under floor storage would be. They could probably package the battery better if they changed the platform a bit, or went for a split pack, but they don't do that unfortunately. At least they can do pretty great recupariation.

[@peglor]

@ Most VAG cars don't ship with the raised boot floor option, so I don't think it's misleading to include that with the volume measurement, especially since the raised boot floor can be removed if required. The E Class used to have a bigger boot than a Superb a few model iterations ago (While still running a longitudinal and probably bigger engine than now). In that time the Superb has moved a little more upmarket and is still getting roomier, MB remains at the same position in the market but is losing practicality with each iteration.

[@Leo_Vasileio]

I don't understand the gotee around the grill

[@charleshodgson3669]

I just wish you could turn the center screen completely off at night instead of it leaving the little bit at the bottom on permanently.

[@YurijVolkov]

[@martintokinaga5261]

The EV trend really kick the innovation on ICE hybrid cars. 600HP. really great improvement from the previous E53. I hope it is reliable.

[@saytamaner]

I definitely agree that smaller central infotainment screen, no screen on passenger side and base seats are much much better. Also steering wheel with suede and carbon fiber is overkill. Classic leather with perforated sides looks much more classy in my opinion. Nice review, thank you Thomas 🙏

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks 🙏

Why can't we have this engine in the C63? Anything but that soulless four banger.

Good question. Would have made the c63 actually sell

Jumped straight to engine info. Thank God it’s not a four banger. If it’s electric or 4 cylinder I usually skip those reviews as they’re not interesting to me. That said this was a great review Thomas! Thanks

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks m8!

[@ResizeFilms]

Amazing machine, great job Mercedes!

That estate looks really nice. I too prefer the matte wood without the passenger screen. I think this is a better sporty hybrid than the C class AMG. Though I would've loved to see they use the 4 cylinder engine, but with more electric power.

They're absolutely gorgeous. Not crazy about it being a plug in hybrid, but they're gorgeous inside and out. There is really no need for an E63 if it's going to be a 4-cylinder.

[@AOTanoos22]

I was extremely excited that Mercedes came to their senses and finally used a beefed up inline 6 cylinder, just to find out it is a plug-in hybrid and weighs like a house...better than a 4 cylinder but not the best solution imo. Should have given us a much lighter non hybrid inline 6 cylinder and tuned it a little to reach ~512 hp so it is on the same level as BMW.

Hello, Thomas and why did I like the Mercedes AMG E53 turbo version? i liked the interior and it's very stylish And i like the dual display and the back is very nice and maybe one day you can make a clip about the Mercedes AMG E53 turbo version in a cool racetrack!

[@Ramest1]

How heavy is it??? Under 2 tonnes??

[@stefanmolnar7950]

I mean nice one Thomas thank you, but Merc has no logical decsions, why has the new CLE 53 amg not the same power output like this, if thats basicly this car coupe variant or i know mid platform ( c and e coupe together ), it doesnt make sense.

[@MaticTheProto]

Probably couldnt fit the battery

[@krane15]

No mention of the giant Mercedes logo on the front grill. At leads it has a sun roof that opens. @14:03 I hate sports seats. They don't belong in sedans or any car that isn't a two seat sports car. Anyway, the passenger screen looks pretty dim. I suppose that part of the safety feature to keep it blacked out from the driver. BTW, too dark. I couldn't see into the trunk. Also, always point the camera down into the storage bins so we can see the bottom and if there are any USB ports inside.

[@ovisatma]

Hey Thomas, there is a viral short on YT, where someone pushes against these new Merc interior parts and they creak. Can you also test this for us to see if this creaking is nonsense ?

Thomas, I’m a great believer in the work that the fake exhaust police carry out, I still can’t believe that you can pay that much for any car and not have a proper tail exit exhaust! I prefer the chrome, but I love estates so I may be somewhat biased 😬

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

A great preview which does the detail you can at rest. I am with Leah (spelling?) in going for the sedan with the sinister bits. Mercedes get so much of this right and I imagine the engineering is superb. What I do not like and have written repeatedly is the teenage spaceship UI/UX without real buttons. So of the two here the less premium interior with the simpler UI/UX and the comfortable seats is clearly better. What interests me is what Mercedes have done with the two Smart Brabus choices. They are pretty much as quick as these two AMGs, maybe quicker. I like and can live with their UI/UX and do not need the much more complicated suspension setup here. Completely forgetting money, I would just rather be in a Smart Brabus either #1 or #3.

[@autogefuehl]

Thanks m8! Its Lea 😉

[@MaticTheProto]

To be fair the smart brabus cars are very well priced and full evs, meaning they can accelerate faster than comparable ice cars

[@PaulMeier-cu3ds]

​@@MaticTheProto Thank you. I think you have just made my point. For a lot less money a Smart Brabus is at least as quick, a full EV, more or less a Mercedes, and has a UI/UX I can live with. What is not to like?

[@SDav21]

I feel if the exhaust comes out of the holes there it shouldn't be fake exhaust police. That's at least reasonable versus not having anything come out there. Glad they've done a 6 cylinder. Hopefully the 63 is still a V8 then. I just don't like how the brake lights show when braking and the reverse light that's part of the indicator light. They should've used a better solution for this.

[@fartamplifer]

It's getting harder and harder to distinguish between "true" AMG model and "AMG-lite" models. It's not just Mercedes doing this, BMW and Audi are doing the same thing with their cars too by giving "regular" models traits and design cues from M and RS cars respectively. It's unfortunate as it makes the high end performance cars less unique but I understand why they're doing it. People want AMG, M, and RS cars but can't afford them so the manufactures give them cars that look like them without the performance.

[@senate2674]

This definitely is not amg lite, if you live and europe and remove the sound limiter it sounds pretty wild

[@fartamplifer]

@@senate2674 I'm sure it's a very powerful and capable car. However, it doesn't have a handbuilt engine so it's not a true AMG and is an AMG-lite.

[@senate2674]

@@fartampliferi dont think it up to us to decide what a true amg is. Dont get me wrong mercedes has had a lot of mishaps these last years, c63, ugly electrics etc. but this i think is a win since the e53 has always had a 6 cylinder so people cant complain, its overall an update from every e53 ever released. I’d take this over any older amg models like e63 and all cause it has many capabilities, if you want to do some kms without burning fuel you can, which is a big deal, if you want to floor it, you can too.

[@fartamplifer]

@@senate2674 Sure it is, we're the people buying these cars. That's why Mercedes is doubling down on this marketing exercise and creating less of a difference between the AMG and AMG-lite cars. BMW and Audi are doing the same thing. They're still impressive vehicles, but they're making their true performance vehicles less special in the hopes of selling more mainstream cars for a high price by sticking AMG and M badges on them.

[@senate2674]
