2014 Mercedes-Benz E350 vs 2013

[@SEVEN-sg5rb]

2013 looks timeless and classic. Like a presidential car w the ornament vs the 2014 looks more modern but not as classy.

[@zkariashubar]

The front & tail LED lights of 2014 are just amazing .. I love it ...

[@goldierobinson4319]

Nothing beats the lines and curves of the 13

You are right imo

[@MrAndyCPT]

I like the classic look of the 2013 model. Will probably warm up to the newer car over time.

[@ucantrefuse03]

I love the bonnet mounted emblem on the 2013

[@khurramshezad385]

Yo

[@HummerLimoGirl]

Loving the redesign ! Can't wait to get mine in :) the new driving assist package is perfect for the people like me who have a bit of difficulty parking larger cars such as this, even with the cameras in the previous model. Overall I love the new redesign inside and out!

[@shabobyouth1542]

What color witcho sexy ass

[@Martinlavell]

2010 - 2013 are classy with a splash of flash. The 2014 and beyond are all flash like look at me everyone. 2010 - 2013 for the win.

[@JimyOfficial]

Not with those headlights

[@GurpreetHira]

major differences is the engine 10-some13s used a m272 engine while newer ones use m276 engine....reliability wise 272 has been in the market since 2004ish so all the bugs have been fixed but it is a 90 degree engine so its not as balanced as the newer 276s those are 60 degree engines but carbon build up will be an issue with the 276s because of the injection older 272s used mixed injection. if you start experiencing rough idle at start up and normal idle on a 276 get it carbon cleaned before you start getting misfires and cel. 272 has its issues as well pre 2010 the balancer isssue but has been fixed on 10-13 models so you dont have to worry and the intake flaps do degrade and there is an updated metal version you can buy. so you decide loll almost 10 years improved engine 272 or a new barely tested 3 years engine 276.

[@AkakiPeikrishvili]

@@jobybobby That's the new 3.0 turbo I believe. Good engine too.😊

[@japanjack62]

2010-13 has the pontoon (sp) styling on the rear fenders.. beautiful..

[@TheRedRaider806]

The old one has more or a classy presidential look. The new one looks more sporty. I like both but I prefer the older model.

[@sbl0323]

It comes in a "sport" trim, which is the one in the video. The classic trim looks like the 2013 model in the video.

[@chazmuska]

I like the 2013, last year of the classic hood emblems!

The 2013 was going for that classy maybach style while 2014 and up is going more on the sporty side such as a newer model BMW 5 series

[@TheAAP2011]

[@matty_o]

Ok I don’t mind joining the 2013 bandwagon. Looks great including the wheels

[@Syncopic1235]

The older one is more classy more elegant, while the new one is sportier. Shifting stick and gauges are better in the 2013 as well, all in all, I'll take the 2013!

[@Lonely_Benzer]

Definitely the 2013 series. It has way more sovereignty ! Hate the new MB Design. If I buy a Mercedes-Benz for around 60k EUR I don't want an enlarged C-Class

[@jayaseto]

@Lonely Benzer me too

[@bobedaone]

I prefer the 2013 by a wide margin. Not that it really matters, since I can afford neither. The '13 is elegant, and the '14 looks like a tuner car. I think M-B should consider offering the sport suspension/AMG wheels/sport steering wheel separately from the sport styling package. At least lose the atrocious sport grille with giant star.

[@Jesse22H]

That new bumper is very very sleek, I DO like it. I also like how they took out the "oldman's" grill on the sedan and replaced it with the grill from the coupe with the large MB logo in the center. As an owner of a 2013 E550 coupe, I have to say I like the older one more.

[@crimple7]

I'm puzzled! The websites are showing two versions of the sports-grille. Although both have an enlarged emblem removed from the hood and placed in the centre of the grille; one has much larger air intakes than the other. Are there two sports versions? PS I'm not talking about the AMG version.

[@Sberg94]

the rear looks better than the new one. But the front part is better looking on the 2013

[@jamviator]

From the front the old car looks more classy and the new car looks more sporty

[@detonator2112]

This was more like a "transition model" to the new one than just a regular facelift. The difference is so dramatic, especially from the front. I can't tell the new one and the 2014-2016 models apart from the front.

[@JDIESeLMUSIC]

Still love the look of the 2013. No idea why they got rid of it. The front end is so aggressive.

[@Kooper48]

I like the 2014 one, it looks more sporty

[@anosikeonyeneke9309]

I agree

[@MultiSavetheplanet1]

i need help deciding which car is better, mercedes e class or bmw 5 or audi a7 ?....which one would be the better value as far as reliability,comfort,wind noise....overall pick...

[@zkariashubar]

I like the aggressive sporty look of 2014 model ... even the interior is gorgeous ...

[@KuyaArbee]

the 2014 is GORGEOUS!!!!! I love that front end! those front openings and lip is gorgeous!

[@megatripanakias2]

Great one.. But i believe that the e-class w211 facelift(2007-2008) still the most beatiful of the series

[@egwuogusmarth.c4949]

In my opinion 2013 body shape is far better, looks nicer, more classic, balanced and better shaped , but 2014 will be more tech improved, but i will always go for 2013 any time any day

[@omg101man]

I love how it just gets so quiet when the camera goes inside. Thats some good sound deadening right there Mercedes.

[@rexjonhdeer8180]

Isn't it possible to do a front end swap from the 2014 onto the 2013 model? I read that everything matches up and all you need is the hood, fenders, front bumper and lights. Is that true?

[@1820AL]

I totally agree with you! Also, I hate when he says the "old E-Class" and the "outgoing model". Its not an outgoing model, its just a mid-model face lift!

[@nordmann6110]

In Europe you can order the -14 with the classic grill with the hood ornament, it is called "Elegance", the racy sportsedan grille available in the US is called "Avantgarde" in Europe. I think the -14 singel headlights instead of four on the -13, make the -14 front look narrower, the -13 is more elegant and typical Mercedes, the racy Avantgarde grille is for attracting younger buyers I think.

[@m4rs12]

well not just the grille, the side body also looks more sporty/racy

[@MarkFullam1]

I agree with everything you have said above, however, you can still get the three pointed star on the bonnet on the Elegance/luxury models, its only the Avantgarde/sporty models that have this grill set up. I do agree with what you say though, the older model is much maturer.

[@jarejeremap]

Both nice, 2013 more classic mb designed

[@sampsalol]

I think the older model looks more dignified but then again what the hell do I know.

[@cetindurdubas9178]

I've got the same E class fromm 2014 with the AMG package..very beautiful and aggressiv Sedan with 620nm and 252hp

[@spencejr007js]

Looking at both 2013 and 2014, I prefer the 2013. The front end on the 2014 look awkward in comparison, and my 2004 looks more appealing to me than the 2014. I guess this is something that will grown on me as time goes on, but my preference will be the out going model, maybe in a few years they will clean up the design of the 2014 a bit, we shall see if it will look a little less awkward then.

[@JoeG93]

I like the 2013 model a lot better. I like the emblem sticking up off my the hood. Not like the big ass emblem on the grill of the newer models.

[@forcedhaircut]

JG’s E90 on the luxury lines there is no emblem on the grille

[@Djordjeblrs]

Can you make video comparison (like this one) with luxury model (Elegance) instead od this sport (Avantgarde) model?

[@edge160]

2014 has a better looking rear end, while 2013 has a better front end!

[@Rondo2ooo]

I am surprised how many people think that the Mercedes star is not on the hood anymore. This applies only for the Avantgarde line, not the basic or Elegance.

[@Teezy561]

Ngl I prefer the front of the 2013 model. 2014 too aggressive and sporty, resembling C-class. I used to adore the Mercedes Benz emblem sticking out of the bonnet

[@noahh914]

EL OH EL Then you can choose the 'Elegance' 2014 model. Looks much better and more elegant than both cars shown in the video.

[@alana1717]

I bought the E350 a day before the 2014 came out, but I still love the 2013 much better

[@shabobyouth1542]

Whats wrong witcho pussy

[@hipposnakeyo]

The old one has a much more classic front IMO, imagine a car chasing movie done with this, so mean!

[@MercedesFans.de1]

we got the 2013 model as an estate. it's our company car, and i've to say, that we're deeply contented.

[@GlobeTrot707]

Cal, in eco mode the E350 does NOT use the 1st gear. Perhaps what you're noticing as strange behavior is the fact that the car is starting off in 2nd gear. try the SPORT mode to get normal shift characteristics in the transmission.

[@bmwmsport11]

is there an AMG sport package or is it only a "sport" package? i prefer how AMG designs their wheels and bumpers. IMO the 2014 looks more like a C-class than the E. BUT finally all of MB cars share the basic design language. the S and C calss have one piece headlights while the E always had the HB and LB in seperate housings.

[@aneebaba06]

I should admit, I wish they had the 3 point star in the grill in the previous one..and I guess the front air intakes are nice on the new one too...but my mom's has the round lights below, so I like that vs the straight-line lamps the most recent 2013's had, if that makes sense lol

[@RossEnzo]

Had our 2014 for 5 and a half years now. Love it, still don't want to "upgrade" to the W213.

[@entrepreneur_journey7]

Is there a 2014 traditional grill (I just love it)

[@soccerkiller100]

2013 looks alot more luxurious but the 2014 is the sports model should have also had the luxury one

[@caman5]

I do have to say, though. I prefer the thinner side/door profile on the 2013 model.

[@alangt306]

I agree with all of you :) However, the 2014 offers the traditional grill & head ornament for those that love it and I do but the new sport front is spot on attractive for that blend of luxury and sport that I am looking for.

[@TestDrive098]

The new 350's sound like 4 cylinders in these 2014's. We had an '08 E350 and everything was super smooth. The transmission in our 2014 E350 seems super clunky, It revs super high in first followed a rough shift into second, in eco mode at least. haven't used sport yet.

[@leroyferguson2649]

I like the Eclass 13 body type, my next car. The 14 model of course has all the bells and whistles. I'm good with both, but like the look of the 13.

[@5ond]

What do you mean when you say 14 - W214 ?

[@Arsenal5881]

Prefer the rear of the 2013 model but the front of the 2014 looks beastly

[@UltimateCydiaSource]

When I saw the new one in person it really changed my mind. It looks really good to me, but it doesn't seem to fit the E Class name right. Like it seems like a awesome style for another mercedes but not for the E class. Personally I love the styling of the 2013 since thats what my parents both own.

[@Stere0guy]

I prefer the front of the 2013. Looks more mature and understated. The 2014 front looks juvenile. I prefer the hood ornament. Other than the front I prefer the rear and interior of the 2014.

[@LorenzoMoore1000]

They both looks nice. I do believe that is hiway 29 in the background?

[@OmerTheGreatOne]

i like the 2013 so much more the 2014 which looks older already. i like the front grille on the new one everything else is better on 2013. older car looks sportier, agile.

[@shabobyouth1542]

Why cause your asian

[@Trades46]

Front end of 2013 is better, but I'd think they should keep the traditional 'luxury' grille on the standard cars and the 'sport' grille on the E63 AMG (or by option). However, the side profile of the 2014 feels cleaner than the 2013 (the flared rear arch on 2013 makes it look fatter than it really is). Rear looks roughly the same. I like the 'ring' like LED designs on 2014 though.

[@maluboy23]

(Currently drive a honda accord EX-L)..I was also looking into buying this car, but i noticed the leg space in the back and front isn't a lot.. that is a biggie for me. Guess I gotta keep this as a 2nd option for now.. btw, i love the 2013 look.. more luxury look to it. even the E350 doesn't come close to the 2013 model.

[@jesussons5639]

[@maluboy23]

Yea.. cuz that's what a troll sounds like

[@DIYDanCars]

Man I miss the days of the W124's. Those were the days when Mercedes built some high quality cars. Even comparing the interiors from that era to now, there really is no comparison. Don't get me wrong the E350 is a nice car.

[@TheRoopDhillon]

I like the new lips and bumpers, otherwise I like the old one. So putting those chrome lips on the old one would be perfect in my opinion.

[@donatomorgese9538]

It is amazing. I had to get past the changes, but this car is great. I think people are just resistant to budge on change. I was feeling the same. I thought, how could they get rid of the double headlamps??? lol

[@smoshfan47]

I prefer the older one (2010-2013), It looked a lot more elegant.

[@FriendsPride]

2013 for sure looks more elegant!

[@nuvamusic]

I like the 3 point star on the grill, and also the chrome treatments, so my vote goes to the 2014 version.

[@ybaja]

I like 2014 model, much better rear door and quarter panel lines, front end is more liquid, and the lights are just great!

[@antdean1906]

The good news - Great looking car. The bad news - Makes the 2013 look instantly antiquated.

i like everything in the 2014 EXCEPT for the WHOLE FRONT END. The front end of the previous model was much more elegant looking and not so cheezy.

[@methunshow]

Me too! I think my 2008 has a better roomier stand and nicely boxy, definitely more distinguishing than these models. The rounder look looks so common to other.

[@once2008]

[@OhMyGodWhatsThis]

Thats what I thought of the older model of the mercedes e class (Only the rear reminded me of the honda accord) but the new 2014 mercedes doesn't really look like a honda accord anymore since the LED lightings.

[@IKhanNot]

You're better off with the older model. There have been big problems reported by owners with excess carbon build up on the intake valves of the new V6 DI motors. Not to mention the DI motor clatters quite a bit due to noisy injectors and longevity is unknown. The M272 motor is far more proven and reliable even though it might be a bit more thirsty.

[@JoshuaAkomen]

Does this mean the 2013 is better?

[@DanieruShidebuteru]

Frankly, I would rather have MB keeping the old tail light arrangement of having the reverse light in the middle, surrounded by the red taillight. I like the new design, just not the new arrangement. It makes them look like the XV40 Toyota Camrys with the Asian-spec tailights (and a plethora of other Japanese cars). It makes them undistinguished, sadly. Apart from that, it's a great-looking car! MB's new design language has grown up a bit and taken a more organic shape now, very nice.

[@TheDanishFire]

Why did they come up with this wierd look, its not a real E Class at all from the outside. The logo on the bonnet and the classic grill frame is classic. They removed half the classic out of a car intended for a very conservative business market. Me included as a W212 owner. At least the inside is still ok. Hope its possible to get the Avantgarde delivered with a normal classic grill and bonnet star. Did the get Chris Bangle onboard after BMW fired him? What is going on at Mercedes Benz?

[@shhmule]

If I got a luxury E-Class, I'd need a stalk emblem star. However, the in-grille one suits sport models. I hate driving my Merc when the star got broken, it's good to have it back.

[@jwrc9999]

This side by side comparison is a prime reason why I will never buy a benz again, buy one and 6 months later its dated due to their constant dramatic changes in design... I prefer the 2013, but then again I preferred the previous design to that but I find it so damn old looking and tired now.
