Thanks for the awesome response, glad you all enjoyed this tiny first look! 😃🙏🏼 Two more E unveils later this year, and the full drive eventually too: save final judgement for then.
Knowing that the E is Mercedes's favorite car, the facelift for the E has always been a preview to what the next gen S class would look like. I like this new look for the E but the back lights I'm not a fan of. I personally loved the last models crystal back lights and wished they'd maybe evolve them and stick with those instead.
They changed them because people were saying the pre face lift had a rounded feminine looking back. As soon as they make it aggressive, people complain.
CengizhanMilfhuntürk Its an AMG performance model, why would you have it looking elegant like if it was an sclass. You need the design to be aggressive in order to compete with other companies. I wouldn’t want a fast family sedan to look like a boat but rather something that has a mean presence on the road.
The Quality of Content on this channel is unbelievable. For sure, you could grow quicker by churning videous out but i love the approach of quality over quantity and i watch every video knowing it will be a good one.

Lol open your eyes then. Those headlights are completely different. It's a facelift but looks like a new generation. Other brands can only learn from this.
oh now you like the old design more. alot of people said that the pre facelift e class was more of a c and s class look like but now this is facelifted and you're saying you like the old design better. how ironic!!!!
@@1990Thunderbolt I agree that they looked similar. But that more just elevated the presence of the C and E class, which may cannibalize the S class sales. For Mercedes' sake, I think it helps to have more distinguishment between each model, though. Because a big part of the higher end models is to show off.
Ahmed Gafar yeah probably. It will be more like the GT63S I think. Large air intakes, massive quad rectangle tail pipes with aggressive rear diffuser, probably more muscular lines all round too. It’s going to be amazing 🔥
9:20 I like the previous steering wheel much more! It felt so much more luxorious and well built, with the aluminium and all. This new one feels more cheap, chinese and plastic. It feels like they made a budget cut.
1:40 "This car got a lot of stick for being so similar to the C class and the S class particularly in the rear" Yeah now it looks the same as the A class particularly in every aspect
Wait until the new 63s release; then compare it with yours. 43 and 53 is just a standard version of AMG. Commented from a G63 owner and a E63s owner ( before the G63)
Pre facelift have a potential for another like 5 years to be modern and classy.If you buy new one, be ready for jokes from your neighbors you bought the A-class on steroids. The review was very nice however.
When I change the rims and drive past ur house, you will love it 🙂.....on a serious note thou you right. It doesn't feel like it has its own identity. It's gonna fall in the same trap of mistaken it for another model. Example a class from the rear
As much as I like the panamericana grill I think it looks best on the AMG GT and SUV models. I actually prefer the previous E face lift design better. The light bars in the headlights and taillights are iconic for 1, 2 and 3 lines to show the class. Now it just looks like it has CLA headlights. I think the 2 light bars in the taillights looked great and the C glass had it for a while strangely but now none of their cars have it.
My opinion but after watching every car review channel on UA-cam I think, this is the best one. Needs more subscribers I believe based on the quality here.
I have a 2018 E class. My lease is up at the end of the year... not to thrilled about this. Prefacelift was the most beautiful e class in my opinion. Maybe I’ll get a used one until they fix this mistake.
Long time follower of the channel. The efforts that go into the quality and edits of your reviews are unrivalled, one of the best I’ve seen on YT - I always look forward to your reviews bro. This was another great one, looking forward to the driving one! 👍🏻
Significant change of the headlights also is the reduction of the daytime light strips. It used to be one for C, two for E and three for S. Seems it’s now down to one for E as well.
@@dghost198 He's making reference to 2010 - 2013(w212). That car never was mistaken for any other model. The best bodystyle in my opinion and it was reliable. The 2009(w211) was not a good car.
mercedes are the only car company that can do a facelift and make a car look like a brand new model yet its just a facelift, they are constantly innovating unlike their other german counterparts. good job benz
That W212 facelift 2014-2016 is still the best looking modern E-class. Original W213 wasn't bad, either. It's actually almost impossible for a non-enthusiast to tell W212 facelift and initial W213 apart from the front. Both look great. I don't like this one at all.
the lightning and everything on the stage makes the car super gorgeous. Mercedes and AMG really know what they’re doing. this is not a sarcasm, i literally love the car, especially the rear end, it’s just beautiful. speaking of design, it’s all personal preferences, maybe for some it looks good, and for some it looks bad. Mr. Roken, you nailed the special effect, the smoothness between transition just blowing my mind lol
Looks like an A class, CLS and GT 4-door all in one. I don’t understand why they had to change it, the e class looked perfect before. I pray to god they don’t change the s class, the current gen is easily the best looking imo
E class lost it`s identity. Last one was a bigger c class and this one will be the same after the new c class comes out. Props for review and videos. Love them.
the E63s will be amazing in this new shape, it’ll be one of the last good cars we will see in the E class shape since surely after a while they’ll be downsizing the engine sizes
Lindo Nkwanyana It’s for the new EU laws tho so theres no way around it unless Mercedes can be geniuses like Koenigsegg and get 600hp out of a 2.0 litre 3 cylinder engine which is insane
The rear looks sooo much better. But man that W212 facelift still looks good today. Shows how far ahead Mercedes design always is. People complain now but then 5 years down the line the car still looks like it was just launched.
The Beauty and elegance of the e class Always came from its simplicity, the facelift just doesnt Bring that to the table. Poeple hated the old one, for looking Like an c-class, Well thank you very much, now it Looks Like an a-class Sedan
Looks like a 2016 accord from behind .... myeah I like the pre facelift a lot more it was more unique to the e class and much more agressive they screwed up big time with this one.
The new rear lights makes it look cheap, but the front looks good... it just doesnt give u the feeling of elegance and quality anymore.. This makes it even easier to choose bmw or audi if you want to upgrade
This is where Mercedes stopped innovating when it comes to beauty and shape. The E-class 2021 makes wanna cry. 2020 has seen the best in everything Mercedes.
Theres a car called the CLS. I don't know if MB remembers but its supposed to be the sportier brother of the E. The E is supposed to be an executive sedan. The E is trying too hard to be its older brother. Stay in your own lane little E, we loved you for who you were from the start, dont change on us.
Joshua September it looks like a big ball with the Mercedes logo slapped on in the middle, also from my experience haptic controls on a steering wheel never really work.

Is there E63S, what are the other two E unveils?
Remove Before Race ...looks like the new E-Class has a design flaw. More aggressive front doesn’t mean better looking.
The pre-facelift was just the most agressive elegant and beautiful E-Class
Right
Grill & Head-/Rear Lights are way more aggressive & sporty on this facelift
W212 face lift was the most beautiful thing.
I agree
It certainly was one of the best
But tbh i find the W212 the most aggressive and elegant E class with those angry double headlights
It went from looking too much like a C and S Class, to looking like an A Class
MadXed exactly what I want to say!
@Conor it doesnt look a luxury car at all. Much more a class. They fucked up.
well they adapt the new design language, esp. with the headlights...
Before: Nice mid-sized S-class!
Now: Nice large-sized A-class!
Exactly
"ayyy it looks to much like c and s classes"
Mercedes benz: aight lets make it an A class limousine with an E badge.
Mercedes designers need to all book a work retreat and go trip on all the drugs in Europe, come back and redesign the entire range.

No you need to grow a pair of eyes.
Nah, the cars look more like Teslas then, ergo like trash.

Less elegant but more aggressive.
Less like a c class more like a glc and gle.

It looks more like an elongated A-class, which imo isn't a good thing.
My exact thoughts... too aggressive. What I always liked about E-Classes were the elegant looks.
@@brandonczw this is an amg version that is the point, but the luxury trims will obviously look more elegant.

The pre-facelift w212 is the most amazing modern e class there is.
