New Mercedes E-Class review: The most high-tech Mercedes EVER!

This is the all-new Mercedes E-Class!
Mat’s flown over to Vienna to take a closer look at Mercedes’s BMW 5 Series competitor, and he’s about to find out just how much the E-Class has evolved over the previous generation.
Starting with the design, it’s fair to say it looks pretty similar to the previous edition. Starting around the back, it looks pretty smart with a chrome strip running along the whole of the car, along with a pair of smart-looking three-pointed star lights. So it looks pretty good, although it’s let down by some incredibly fake-looking exhausts! Along the side, the new E-Class is available with alloys that range from 17 to 21 inches, and it has some sleek pop-out door handles. Head round to the front and the E-Class comes with an all-new grille, however, the overall design is still pretty similar to the last gen.
Step inside and the changes are much more noticeable, starting with the huge super screen that stretches across the entire dash! It comes with three screens, with digital dials for the driver, a bespoke screen for the passenger, and a central infotainment screen. You can download third-party apps such as TikTok and Zoom, while the driver’s display comes with all-new 3D effects! You’ll find high-quality materials throughout the majority of the cabin, although there are a few cheaper bits of plastic to be found. The seats are also pretty comfortable, and there's loads of headroom and space for passengers in the back.
There are several engines to choose from. The entry-level is the E200, which is available as either petrol or diesel and comes with a 2-litre turbo engine that delivers around 200hp. There’s also an E450 that’s equipped with a 3-litre straight-six turbo that can put down 380hp. Then there are a couple of plug-in hybrids available, with the range-topper being the E400e which comes with a 2-litre turbocharged engine coupled with an electric motor that can put down 380hp. All cars come equipped with a 9-speed automatic gearbox, and the plug-in hybrids come with a 20kWh battery which is good for a range of up to 70 miles.
Mercedes hasn’t confirmed the price yet, but you can expect it to start from around £50,000. But will it be worth it? You’ll need to stick with Mat and see for yourself!

To get the door handles out you have to touch them in the middle, not on the side. The side is just for closing. And regarding the sunroof: The push button is just for the small opening. To get it fully open you have to slide it via touch.

[@arminfischer5777]

If you don't know how the handles work it can be frustrating. But it's actually quite easy if you know how. When you approach the car, the handles pop out but the car is still locked to prevent others from opening. When you put your hand behind the handle (same as normal handles) the car unlocks (takes a second) and then you can pull. If you pull directly while it's opening it won't work. Also the small rectangle on the outside is for locking and not locking / opening. If you want the handle to pop out you have to swipe with your hands over them or double tap without touching the rectangle (as it will always try to close it, same as other keyless systems with normal handles)

I love plug in hybrids!!! Wish they could trickle down to budget cars!!

[@sparko58]

As soon as I saw these door handles I knew what the issues would be. That’s a straight up deal breaker for me, making the simplest thing difficult.

[@hemi-pwer2639]

They are not that difficult to open I feel the complaint is over exaggerated. I work on these cars and those handles don't act up that often unless you fumble the handle open and close multiple times to play with it

[@TheIceMurder2]

He just doesn't know how to open it.

[@kidodakid8861]

He over exaggerated. There are multiple cars with that Same door handle

[@Mr11ESSE111]

There will be lot of problems for owners with this door handles especially at winter times, Tesla already have lot of problems in more cold areas and Mercedes could be much worse in that and as we see they already have now at this video and its not winter freeze time

8:02 I love how the whole panel moves when you use the buttons. Quality car

[@simonde8091]

The whole panel literally is the button. It is only one and the selection is over capacitive differentiation.

At least it doesn't show finger prints too badly.... 😮

My next car in about 2-3 years. I just got the new C class since I had to make room for a 3month old and love it but would like more room and the higher tier sound system.

[@ChrisGBusby]

@@bwdrives considering the number of anti fingerprint coatings around on phones and tablets, it's a major quality fail.

[@SDav21]

Mat, the sunroof part was a fail on your part. Maybe heat exhaustion? Because you know you have to slide it back to make it slide open. It does slide open. On another note, annoyed at some of the lack of quality like the stalk plastics, door handle plastics and the finishing in the boot/trunk

[@user-jf8gd3lv7q]

No, he's just too fu...ing dumb to operating it properly!

[@jarkkohaimakainen2378]

Sliding your finger in a touch screen isn't nearly as functional/practical a method (of opening a sunroof) than "physical buttons" can offer.

@@jarkkohaimakainen2378 not in the touch screen. But on that slider he was pressing.

Love your reviews !! But is there some wrong withe the sound /mic ? You sound different😮

[@tiunchi]

Can someone purchase this exact model or we can only purchase the models available with the dealers? If we configure this exact model in their website, it says there are no matching inventory available, instead it shows the models available with the dealers. Then how can someone purchase this exact model?

[@karamjeetsinghswaich]

What a beauty ❤️❤️

This looks more like a S class than a E class

Or S Class more than even C.

[@softroseforyou7457]

Love the new E class and looking forward to seeing the 2024 Mercedes Benz E53 AMG Sedan.

[@barrybennett1292]

I have an E55 AMG and at first I thought the door locking had an issue too. But, it depends on your settings and how you lock it. Especially if you hit the remote lock twice to make sure it locked. It will not open after doing that unless you unlock it with your remote, etc. first. Not sure what the reason is, but it is consistent once you know what's making it happen.

[@SpritSlash]

This color is absolutely gorgeous.
