The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E 450 4Matic is a Perfected Modern Luxury Sedan

Thanks to Keeps for sponsoring this video! Click here to get 50% off your first order: keeps.com/redline Crazy to think how the current E-Class has been on the market for nearly 5 years but we feel that Mercedes has done a fantastic job at keeping it fresh. We should be getting our hands on the Wagon, E53, and E63 models later this year, but until then, we find the E 450 model to be the sweet spot in the lineup! The powertrain is better than the new 3.5T in the 2021 Genesis G80, but for an additional $15,000, it better be.

I do like it this way as it will be shiny all the time without the actual exhaust contaminating the chrome surface. I am driving a Lexus GS 350 and the exhaust blackened the chrome surface, there is no way I can bring back the shine. I have tried many types of cleaner but the black fumes seemed baked into the metal frame. Nobody really cares if the exhaust gas really is coming out thru the chrome plating, is there?

I think that the Genesis G80 3.3T Prestige package with AWD could give this a run for its money since that maxes out in the low $70k range. It has more exterior presence & the interior is equally as beautiful with the ambient lighting & seat pattern designs, the doors, everything. It has that wow factor just like this E-class.

Have 2019 E class with identical wood trim, metal controls, and soft touch plastic combination. Problem is that these hard materials tend to create some rattle issues in the door.

Also what’s up with Apple CarPlay not being widescreen, like in every other modern car?

Hard plastic at the bottom on the door is totally okay most driver won't ever touch it and will probably just put a water bottle down there.
