2021 Mercedes E450 Coupe Review: Less Doors, More Fun!

- Could the 2021 Mercedes E450 Coupe be more fun with less? When we were informed that we’d get an E Class for our next car to review, we knew it would make a great road trip car. We’ve always known the E Class to be Mercedes’ mid size 4 door sedan so when we see the coupe show up, we questioned where the other 2 doors went.
When you look at the outside, it does appear as if the 4 door E Class simply lost its rear doors. It didn’t make for an awkward design or proportions. The styling is still beautiful and the proportions still look right.
We quickly questioned if the road trip will be comfortable having to put a 5 year old in the back of a coupe. The E Coupe proved us wrong. We found that the best way to put him in was by rolling down the back window and reach in to buckle him in. It turned out to be one of the easiest cars to load him into.
Starting up the 3.0L inline turbocharged 6 cylinder engine, you wouldn’t suspect that there are 362 horsepower and 369 lb-ft of torque available. You’d be more surprised to find out that even though those numbers aren’t that much in today’s standards, they feel as if the numbers are conservative. What gives us that impression is the fact that this has a mild hybrid system. When the turbo is not under boost, the hybrid system kicks in to get things moving and then the turbo takes over. The delivery of the power was extremely smooth and never felt like one system switched on or off.
After putting in over 600 miles in a week, we’ve come to the conclusion that even with less (doors), this car definitely offered more (fun)!

I gave this a like because of how awesome this car is. I own the 2018 version (E400). I have owned it for over 2 years now and I am just as happy as day 1.
Nice! Thanks for watching. What’s your favorite thing about yours?
@@Revmatchmedia it's very well balanced in terms of a combination between classy and sporty. Both visually and in terms of the performance I get depending on the drive mode I am in. Ultimately when I test drove this I literally fell in love with it. It was hard to really describe the feeling it gave me, but it was very different than the sedan version.
@@munton5150 I know exactly what you mean about that "feeling" lol.
I enjoy my E450 (C4) - 2020. Runs like a dream/charm.
18:21 You probably know this by now but you can just turn off the Active Speed Limit Assist. I think it's called Speed Pilot in the menu. Also, you can make the tire pressure a favorite so it comes up easily with the favorites button.
Thanks for watching! I did figure out the speed thing when I got to review the A class lol. I did not know I can program the tire pressure to a favorite. I’ll have to try it on the next Mercedes loaner I get.
The USB-C cable comes with the car if you buy it. This is the case with every new Mercedes-Benz with USB-C. Also, why didn't you just put your phone in the centre console armrest area if it was not fitting in the wireless charging place, especially since you got a long cable? There is a gap between the lids for a cable - front and back. It is not like you are in need of touching your phone while driving, right?
The reason you felt the way you did was because of the 48-Volt electrical system that comes with some of the inline six-cylinders of Mercedes-Benz. You are one of the few people who felt this way. There have been reports of others as well, especially when driving an Audi or Bentley with this system.
Mercedes-Benz have been making a Coupé for their E-Class for decades, so I am not sure why you expected only a Sedan. If I got the message, I would be expecting a Sedan, a Coupé, a Cabriolet, an Estate, or an SUV (GLE). All are categorized as an E-Class. I would at least try to clarify with Mercedes-Benz what I am getting.
About the shifting. I am not sure which SUV you are talking about. Because you have mentioned the GLB by name, then you started saying SUV. So...are you still talking about the GLB, but forgot its name while filming? I was thinking you were talking about the GLE, which would make much more sense to compare to this. Well...anyway. If you are the GLB, know that they don't use the same transmission...nor are they engineered the same. The E-Class is full-on comfort and ease. The GLB as well, but since it is a much lower-priced car, I would not expect the same refinement as an E-Class. Another reason for the smoothness of the E-Class transmission is because of that mild hybrid system that essentially fills the gaps between shifts.
You can open all the windows down automatically. Just press and hold the "Unlock" 🔓 button on the key fob to open them all. This will also open the power sunroof, if you have one. Press and hold the "Lock" 🔐 button to close all the windows. This will also close the power sunroof, if you have one.
Thanks for watching! With it being a press car, the smaller things sometimes don’t make it after multiple loans lol. I didn’t clearly see the gap between the lids and was concerned it would pinch the cable. Either way I’m glad it has one. As far as the cars we get for testing, sometimes we just get what’s available at the time. The suv I was talking about is the GLE AMG that we still need to edit. I did try the key fob unlock button hold but for some reason it didn’t work. I’m glad it has it though because it makes loading the rear seats really fast. Again thanks for watching!
Not less doors, FEWER doors!
bro said my mistake I bought a 6 foot cable for something I knew was only going to be a 6 inch space lmao 😂😂
I hate short cables that don’t let you position your phone because the stiffer connection ends so long cable it was. Plus I wanted to be able to use the cable for other things and not just the Mercedes. Man I miss driving that car lol. Thanks for watching.
@@Revmatchmedia i will buy this car in 2024 or 2025 when it drops down to 40k
I love this car so much. I need it. Silver or grey.
This was definitely one of my favorite Mercedes that I’ve driven. Silver or grey is classic but that red looked really nice. Thanks for watching.
Looking at an E450 and worrying if i would need to upgrade to AMG model to have fun with it! Thanks for the review! saves my wallet haha
Thanks for watching! The E450 had a great balance of power that I don’t think you need AMG. Are you thinking coupe or sedan?
@@Revmatchmedia Definitely the Coupe. Will be supporting passengers sometimes but I am of similar height and found the back to be spacious for the size
@@mas0n25 we were really surprised by the room in the backseats. The back window opening was nice to have as well.
I believe you can hold down the unlock button for 2-3 seconds on your key to have all windows and sunroof open
Why does it seem like the star is crooked
Is Mercedes-Benz making a 2024 E 450 coupe
Mercedes will be releasing it as the CLE Coupe. It looks like it'll be a merge of the C-Coupe and the E-Coupe. It looks really nice and sleek. Here's the link to the site. www.mbusa.com/en/future-vehicles/2024-mercedes-benz-cle-coupe#gallery
Use/connect apple car play with Bluetooth so you don't need the cable.
Why is the Mercedes logo in the front not lined up straight lol
I never noticed it lol. Probably from the car washes these press cars go through lol
why is the Mercedes emblem off kilter and not pointing North but rater at 11:30? lol. Has it been involved in an accident?
Probably just the angle of the camera.
The coupe normally wouldn’t have airscarf. Must be a pre production vehicle? Also why not film the road trip? Sounds like it would have been content.
This one has the airscarf as a $460 option. I did notice the noise from it and didn't really care for it. Definitely save your money there. The road trip was nothing exciting as we just drove up from Austin to Dallas and it was completely dark the whole time with clouds.
Yep, my ‘21 Coupe has airscarf as well, which I initially thought was limited to Cabs, but apparently not!
great car but the stance in the first image is comedy. its like a off roader, wtf !
Oh man I just noticed that! Lol. I think it was the angle lol.
It looks like its tall as hell.....
Do you mean ride height or the roofline?
@@Revmatchmedia The ride height. The previous model seems to sit lower
@@vilenationgaming Probably needed to settle but it wasn't too bad. When you sit in it, it did feel fairly low. Thanks for watching!
This guy is terrible.
Thanks for watching!
