The old v6 Om642 is more reliable than BMW B57, which is also important. I own w213 e350d with v6 and it's quiet as hell. Even with 200km/h you can't hear the engine. Smooth and quiet engine it is.
Great Review! I've watched this review more than a hundred times and now after your 2022 C300 review I had to come back to this. I replaced my 20" AMG wheels with 18" stock and non run flats on this pre-facelift W213 to get the comfortable ride Mercedes built their reputation on. Mercedes is regressing otherwise as seen in the new C Class - weird styling, impractical wheel offerings, removal of Air Body Control, more driver distracting capacitive touch screens and surfaces instead of tactile touch brushed aluminium surfaces. They are making the cars gimmicky, badly configured and high effort. In comparison, this E Class is a keeper!
The colour does indeed look awesome with those AMG line wheels. I would do the same but on a E250d coupé. I would love to see a review on any of the E class coupé models.
Very very very nice indeed sir. I would enjoy having one of them E350D right their. Mercedes Benz, the first car ever made, and to this day, still the best quality and longevity. Thanks for sharing
SDav21 the bmw wasn't even i sport mode have you owned any modern bmw and seen how much sport mode means in their cars it just transforms the car completely.
Soulx CrusherX The Merc wasn't in sport mode either so what's your point? The Merc is still faster. And in the new video he has with the E estate versus 5 touring versus Volvo the Merc wins again because it is more comfortable AND has better handling. He also said the Mercs new 2 litre diesel is better than BMWs.
It's not that the Mercedes cars are ugly but the unified theme they're trying for on the rear makes each that bit less special. From a bit of a distance behind a C/E/S class it's quite difficult to tell them apart.
It’s going to be interesting to see if/when they put the new OM656 from the facelifted S Class into this E class. I think the problem was that, when the W213 was released in mid 2016, the OM656 wasn’t ready, so they decided to carry over the OM642 from the W212. If the OM656 does come to the e class, they probably won’t do that until the mid life facelift which presumably will be next year. I think it would be a great engine for the E class, but the sad thing is that most customers will still opt for the E220d. Actually, come to think of it, I’ve never seen a W213 E350d on the road yet!
There is nothing wrong with the "old" v6 engine. It's smooth, it's quiet, it's powerful and has lots of torque. It's economical too. It's been refined over the years and quite reliable, compared to other 3.0l engines nowadays.
+Henk Kroonenburg the E400 will have the OM 656 and competes with the 540d. So if you look at power and price, this actually does compete with the 530d.
AutoTopNL de 400d is nog niet beschikbaar of configureerbaar en is inderdaad een goede concurrent voor de 540d maar ik weet niet als Mercedes de 400d levert met 4matic de 540d is helaas standaard met xDrive.
What u talking about. Maybe gearbox is better in BMW but u can’t beat Mercedes 3.0 diesel. Look how many problems Bmw got with their 3.0 litre diesel agr valves oil coleers etc And for me is very loud. Merc is much quieter . You talking bullish my friend. Do the research first and then talk.
maybe i will get many hate but....i dont like this e class at all. its like they tried to upgrade the c-class, but it looks more boring. and it also looks like a s-class without the good features.

waiting for the new inline 6 diesel
Very very very nice indeed sir. I would enjoy having one of them E350D right their. Mercedes Benz, the first car ever made, and to this day, still the best quality and longevity. Thanks for sharing
when I turn 70 years, I will switch from the 5 series to the e Class :D
savage xD
Ooh, I did that when I was 17!
Mistayoyo and you would maybe realize you waited to long.
Too late
haha you are too funny. you should become a comedian.
I love the w213 e class, but I wish in some way they remedied the 3 dial design of the older cars.
The E220d has a far better engine than the 520d though. The 520d is noisy and slow.
SDav21 520d has a new engine which is much better than the old one. And BMW has a better gearbox.
Brandon H It does not. Mat tested it on Carwow and the E220d was also faster than the 520d.
Yea in comfort mode. Lets see what happens when you put it Sport Mode.

Could you please make a similar review on the 530d M Sport. Thanks!
+papoopa5800 we did one on the 540i and 530d already :) check the playlist 'POV Reviews'!

jeebus2121 those who care will be able to tell the difference , for others , it's just a nice merc
IKR

спасибо! очень классное видео!
Nice C-Class exterior with S-Class interior. Very unique Mercedes. haha.
Very informative video - Thankyou...
Looking forward to watch comparison test with MW...
My favorite car i want in the future!!
Why not ferrari?
This is not a competitor for the G30 530d because the BMW has the new B57 diesel engine and in the E class the OM 656 isn't available.
+Henk Kroonenburg the E400 will have the OM 656 and competes with the 540d. So if you look at power and price, this actually does compete with the 530d.

From a cow shed into a palace? Your 70-year-old heart can't take that kind of excitement.
Fuel consumption please ?
You forgot to give it a DougScore. Again.
Bmw key is a bullshit, this is a lovely and elegant key

Hello jaj
maybe i will get many hate but....i dont like this e class at all. its like they tried to upgrade the c-class, but it looks more boring. and it also looks like a s-class without the good features.
GaNgStAlBeRt lol it has every s clas feature
Same
That's why the E-Class is between the C and S-Class and also has the medium price tag. A S-Class cost up to more than 3 times of a C-Class .
My opinion is that this is the best looking Mercedes! Looking forward to buying it next year
If you want sporty car...
You don't get a diesel car...
I'm pretty sure it is a I6 not a V6
Consumption
Audi is best😊😊
G30 M550d please...
i would like to see the G31 M550D
My god, this guy sounds awful
it feels like Trump is talking
Hayet Whatever HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAH
your video is poor picture quality.
