The problem is that Mercedes forgot its heritage of over-engineering, premium materials and reliability but not its prices...

[@NATE.M]

Accountants build the cars nowadays, not engineers.

[@v12-s65]

I sat in it. Was very decent

[@MrOriol24]

It's all since the late 90s, when shareholders had less power (and decisionmaking) within the brand, focusing less and less over the years (until nowadays), until we reached a point where you see a 75k car that is just not worth it. Quality control use to be the pinnacle of automotive industry in the 90s, and sadly those days are gone, changing interior high quality noble materials (wood and aluminium in physical buttons to just name a couple) for plastic and tablet shaped screens, and fake exhausts. Same goes once you get under the car, older mercedes used to be overengineered and built to last. And is not only Mercedes. BMW and Audi are doing the exact same thing, also overusing the horrible piano black (aka cheap plastic) in their interiors as well.

[@PEACEOUTXX1]

Yea it's embarassing what AMG is now. Every DECENT car they have is easily over 200k+ and needs a hybrid system to help the engije .. other then that they are all slow and poorly engineered.

[@AI-qd4vb]

Used car prices are not indicative of the value of the car, lol. What kind of nonsensical statement is that? Modern cars are incredibly advanced pieces of machinery which degrade with use. Of course theyll cost less when used. They have lost potential use time. And depreciation is the dumbest argument. Cars depreciate because theres little demand on the used market, not because the cars are bad or not worth their original price. The used car market is several orders of magnitude smaller and less valuable. People who buy used are rarely willing or able to pay up the costs of new cars. What some broke bum is willing to pay for a Merc is not the value of that car.

[@fuzzynutter8344]

The CLE is a modern interpretation of the con that was the CLK and C207 E-Class coupe, which means Mercedes can charge more for what it actually is. The CLE is priced as an E-Class coupe, but it’s based on the C-Class’ version of the MRA2 platform, not the E-Class’. Which is why space is tight for what is being marketed as an exec coupe, why it has the same interior as the C Class and why the interior quality is shocking for an exec (well, shocking for a C Class too). The CLK and C207 E-Class were the same, exec priced and marketed coupes based on the smaller C-Class.

Cars are way overpriced, its like they want us to PCP everything or huge deposits but id rather have that huge deposit accessible rather than invested into a depreciating asset.

this car reminds me of a daily mail reader - "anything looks nice and shiny but the bits are cheap", they "cant hear the outside world much" and they "always interrupt"

[@jamesp3022]

It's built to a budget for the lease market, it's not meant to be a forever car, simply because out of warranty you couldn't justify the out of warranty repairs bills and the depreciation

[@jbllc6873]

Aren’t these reviews kinda pointless if you “shortlist” 99.9% of them?

[@NATE.M]

Does the fact that he shortlists them take away from the information shared during the review?

[@richardlabeja]

The best cars in their class he says "go ahead and BUY it".

[@PEACEOUTXX1]

That's what should happen. Each car category has a best car and only that car should get the buy it label

[@davidjunior7466]

mat couldn't say "it's better than a BMW" clearly 😂😂😂😂

[@wgm247]

Silly price. Should be £25,495 with 7 year warranty and 0% APR.

[@barrydraper]

Great review! But as far as the CLE goes, I'm just not a fan...

[@d6k.]

ill take a m5 cs over that

[@emilian2031]

L

[@worldinwords8179]

This car is not the m5 Cs competition bro

[@jaysosaaa7975]

M5 looks ugly as shit

[@Matthew7Smith]

These bmw fan boys are the new supra kids

X7m , cheers

Wifes loves hers, traded her 18 C43 AMG for one. Not my choice but she finds it more refined, comfortable, better fuel economy over her old twin turbo. Better technology , a bit larger inside, more compliant ride. She agrees some of the interior plastic is not as nice as previous but she loves it none the less. Its styling is nice and the ride is really nice. However I am a battery car guy so to me its archaic still

[@Some0ne001]

Very unfortunate there’s no v8, I’d actually be interested if there was one in it. Most new Mercedes I just am not interested in at all.

[@su-57_]

The 63 is supposed to have a V8

[@NATE.M]

The reality is most buyers nowadays don't care about the engine if its not a performance car.

[@PEACEOUTXX1]

AMGs are just slow unless ur pay over 200k+ for some BS hybrid system .. none of their engines are powerful without electric assist

[@andrecardoso6941]

the question is, who is even interested in the new Mercedes cars? People are only buying them cause of the badge nothing else.

[@SylviaNzube]

@@PEACEOUTXX1 you're lying lol

[@NGUxHD]

Currently on my second merc and I can’t see myself ever changing brand unless other brands start adopting the same type of gear change lever next to the steering wheel

[@PeterSothern]

£75 grand? You can buy 3 houses in Hull for that

[@suhailsweidi8169]

The car is at best an upgraded C-Class. The E Class Coupe is by far the greatest car Mercedes has made in the last 15 years. The dimensions were perfect, the details were excellent, the car felt like a boat yet drove elegantly. I will take the £75K and buy 4 different colors of the E Class Coupe. Such a huge shame they discontinued it.

[@alanwayte432]

Price is ok in 2024, but The scratchy plastics are incredibly cheap at £50k

[@victormugabo1938]

@carwow so the car you are driving actually has MBUX Assistant in it. So what that does is it picks up what you are saying when you talk to the car. You don’t need to say „hey Mercedes“ and it will try to recognize and fulfill your needs. That’s why when you talked about the visibility it talked about the weather. It will not intervene once it recognizes that there are other passengers in the car or when you are on the phone.

[@JMdeleonfamily]

What about the new EV Range Test of a Kia EV9, Tesla Model S Plaid, Opel/Vauxhall Grandland, BMW XM, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and the Ford Mustang Mach E GT, I hope they can get a longer range of the EV cars.

[@Rajonas007]

Mercedes Benz needs a reality check! No sane person should pay that much money for it

[@Kwippy]

The seat belt presenter thing looks fragile but the ones in my 20 years old CLK work as well today as when I bought the car.

[@DMW2000]

When i see cars like this join the market and at that price, I look at my 2013 b8.5 rs5 and feel like I'm never changing cars.

[@scott3795]

At first I was considering swapping out my FL C238 E coupe for the CLE, however I’m now pretty certain I’d rather stick with my E coupe Great review as always though 👍🏻

[@arunaudi9768]

“Or am I gonna put the boot into it” Car: “ I beat you to it” 💀

[@hassanlahlou7805]

If the CLE was replacing only the C-class coupe then yes, but again the price ! As a E-class coupe replacement, no no sorry mate. The E-class coupe previous gen is way more classier and sexy overall

[@Speed-birds]

There is a difference between Android and Apple users. I haven't quite figured it out. I have always been an Apple and recently was forced to use an Android device. Horrid device. I don't understand the concept. You're going to help me figure it out. This is a real nice car. I have not been interested in Mercedes Benz vehicles since late 300E, W bodies and an S class here and there. It's just premium. The Mercedes info device voice is gold standard. The pronunciations are outstanding. The snoz on this vehicle is fantastic. Aggressive and forward. The German word for yield on the Autobahn. A proper German designed this car. Cheap plastic bits. Snarly engine. Love the over engineering.

[@haveagoodtime8189]

"How much horsepower does the Mercedes CLE have?" -"This much horsepower."

[@kurbulajzna]

@18:27 That is, if I'm not mistaken, Slade - Marry Xmas

[@CyclingGeo]

Considering last year’s CLEs are still going for 70-100 thousand in Finland, this will seemingly cost two million. Car prices are insane nowadays.

[@kissgergo5202]

13:35 *meow* "sorry, that didn't work" 😂

[@0000kris0000]

That traffic light camera is the future! It drives me round the bend when you pull up to a junction that has loads of traffic lights, but non of them are where you can actually see them at the stop line 😡😡😡😡

[@shubhangkarbongale9289]

Matt your watch is an absolute belter...🎉

[@bonniedrasco8166]

I find the best way to accommodate this problem is to wait 15 + years and try and find a low mileage, clean, unmodified, full service history example for what is literally pennies on the original list price
