this e class is nice. saw it on the road yesterday. white, 20 inch multi spoke wheels, amg package, night package, panoramic roof. it was sleek and elegant.
Great tech, I like it, especially the one that helps people in medical distress. But most of this tech dumbs people. For example the blind spot, since its invention now most people do not look before changing lanes. According to DOT & National Highway, since blind spot monitoring came out, lane changing accidents have increased 88%. People still need to know these driving skills, a car should not do that for us. I am for the tech that helps unconscious people and the likes. Not the ones for lazy people or for the ones that do not want to learn how to drive properly. I mean parking itself, jeez, how lazy and inexperience can one be. If someone needs help parking, they should not be driving. This type of tech will cause traffic jams and slowdowns in highways. Accidents will increase. Mark my words.
Many of the autonomous features may seem like lazy features when they're actually necessary steps on the road to full autonomous driving in the future. Eg. I wouldn't use the auto parking feature as is but will definetly use it when I can pull up to the front entrance at Costco, get out and let the car find its own parking space and then pick me up when I call it.
Man you are too pessimistic. I have this car and I rarely use the parking features. This is only in situations where it would be easy if its automatised than you controlling it. The drive pilot and the lane assist is so awesome that you can simply drive like a passenger and the car takes you all the way to wherever you like to go. Its the best I have ever driven.
Crazy that Toyota is making the accident avoidance system standard on the new Corolla while in the E Class it will be an option that costs a few grand. Still a beautiful car. Mercedes design is best in the industry, in my opinion.
Mercedes are beautifully made cars,but very average in the design department.Why don't they headhunt the head of the design studio of Jaguar, then they would not only be well made but also good to look at.
I guess mercedes have a lot of constraints while designing that people at jaguar might not have an idea about, for example aerodynamics which is class leading until bmw comes with 5 series, rear space which ian callum damn cares about, moreover marketing some people just dont want a fancy looking car yes such people do exist, since e class is a global model so it need a lot more consideration with a lot of compromises on aesthetics but in my opinion the way Gordon Wagner has handled mercedes design is remarkable and all mercedes models under his direction, which doesnt include pre facelift sl and slk and gl and ml, except suv coupes have been competitive in their classes.
Hey I though the car plays pink noise not white noise to prevent ear drum damage during a crash your review was so good can’t wait to get mine when the price drops of course
Everyday Reviews Honestly paying $60k for car seems to be a norm these days, don't know how people can rationalize that!! Unless you really love the car.
Kind of is in a sense with Honda does with its Honda Sensing system. Obviously it isn't as advanced as the system in the Mercedes however it still is pretty amazing.
I went from a BMW 3 series to a 2017 E300. The 3 series drove and handled better. My E300 was peppered with problems. Had to bring it in the shop over 25 times in the first few months. Ridiculous! I bought a car do drive, not to bring it into the shop twice a week for several months! They put me in another E300 (this time a package with heads up display and massaging seats, etc.). First few months, in the shop over 6 times, and Mercedes initially refused to fix the creaking in my door when it went over bumpy roads because they could not duplicate it! Then they were able to duplicate it but wouldn't fix it because it wasn't "continuous" enough! Screw Mercedes! What a POS product they produce! I took a huge loss on the trade in for a BMW. It's night and day! The BMW drives and handles great and has no rattles. It nearly glides everywhere I go. But I paid the price to experience how bad Mercedes is! I will NEVER buy a Mercedes again!
Like I said though, most of the features you can turn off. The extreme ones you can't but they are only activated under the most extreme circumstances which I'm sure you'll want.
Don’t buy one, I did and hate it. MB have spent millions on giving you useless ambient lighting to make the car look like a cheap circus tent, millions to give you 5 different ways to change the channel on the media, but didn’t manage to get the steering wheel in front of the driver, placed the door mirrors so high they impede your vision and fitted the most uncomfortable seats I have ever experienced, designed obviously for very short people with bad posture. The panoramic sunroof is a nightmare which serves no purpose other than to suck heat into the vehicle even when closed ......yes the car looks OK and has lots of safety toys, but they’re probably needed to cover the driver being distracted by all the discomfort.......buy something Japanese, yes it will be boring but you won’t dread driving it
I am getting my E-350 next week. 😎💪
My hard work is getting paid finally😅
Well done!
Everyday Reviews
Tnx and also for sharing!
Great review
It is the most beautiful car I've ever seen
I WANT ONE!!!
Thanks for the great review of a beautiful car.
I just wonder how many of these hi-tech features will still be working in 20 years?
Even if they did they would be dangerously outdated. Its like wanting your laptop to work for 20 years, which it can do but would you want it to?
very plush car.

In love with the new E Class.
When is it you guys will start driving diesel cars, instead of those octane polluting pieces of shit?
excellent video. really liked it

Very true most cars come with lots of safety features but Mercedes charging lots of money for them
the only car you can legally have a blood alcohol level of greater than .08 in
awesome car...the best

It's also extremely annoying
Next week i go pick my e 200 d 2017 mercedes, can't wait to get it 🤩
I’m thinking just how great this getting for people with handicap or disabilities. And for the people who really didn’t think/know they had one.
everything reviews reviews cars lol lmao
Hey I though the car plays pink noise not white noise to prevent ear drum damage during a crash your review was so good can’t wait to get mine when the price drops of course
Ear protection really!? paying for something you don't even know is there.
Yes its very beautiful
Wish it came with a I6 :/
I think it does on the E350
Very nice car, because the steeringwheel Looks very cheap
I want one!!!... again.
Just wait for it to come to honda/toyota in a few years standard so us Point A-Point B people can utilize it.
+PapayaMan That's exactly what I mean. Just like when Mercedes came out with ABS decades ago and before we knew it, everyone had abs.
Everyday Reviews Honestly paying $60k for car seems to be a norm these days, don't know how people can rationalize that!! Unless you really love the car.
By then luxury cars would be on another level.
chancy319 Yep that's how tech works bud
Kind of is in a sense with Honda does with its Honda Sensing system. Obviously it isn't as advanced as the system in the Mercedes however it still is pretty amazing.
Were you driving through Merrickville ON?
Will there still be the e63?
+Lexus Cohen Yes there will be.
What about a coupe?
Lexus Cohen ya the c63 will come to .
Sadly at the moment no Coupe 63. :( Market not big enough or something.
Wade Higgins yap amg 63 with 585 hp and amg s 63 with 612 hp
the best or nothing

thank you lacey butt rat for correcting me
Great review thanks! Curious, what other engine choices will be available for NA besides the 4cyl?
+jpmackin There will be a 329 hp turbo V6 on the E 400 and a 396 hp V6 on the AMG E43
BMW is better
I wouldn't really say that, they're both great brands with multiple offerings!
That red is disgusting on mercedes, mercedes shudnt be red it shid be black white or silver straight up.
all these automatic stuff is taking away the joy of driving. it's gonna have the same effect as the calculator did to our brain!

I am a long-term car users- if I had to spend that much money on a car, I would go for reliable lexus!
peasant
Rick lol
The model S is much more intelligent than this car. It's not even a comparison.
