see everything comes down to your experience because we have a 2018 Audi q7 and a 2018 Mercedes S-Class and only the Mercedes has given us troubles. But they are both great cars though.
Great comparison. I like the looks of this Audi. Those wheels look good but I shudder to think of the ride and how many wheels and tires you have to replace when you put it in a pothole.
I’m choosing E class. Audi looks boring and Undistinctive on the road. Audi’s interior is all hard touch. I hate touchscreens on cars because it’s distracting so e class wins and it’s beautiful
@@SM-1010 wow factor, no. Everyone knows what a Mercedes is. Flashy, gody and typical. But more features and stuff definitely. You can get a Mercedes with bulletproof glass and champagne glasses. But the driver virtual cockpit thing was first on an audi. Pretty cool. I'd still take an audi. Nobody wants something that everyone has
Bullshit about the audi transmission, there is a huge lag in response. Even every journalists have raised this issue and I am living with. It just does not want to kick down, when it does its like hitting a brick wall oppose to a smooth progression like the BMW/Mercedes. Also the hybrid systems only helps support the start/stop system and allow engine cut off at higher speed for coasting....... it does not provide any drive.
I can’t believe you ended the video like that, that doesn’t look good for a channel like auto guide. However still love you guys. Didn’t offend me or anything just thinking of your business model
90% of the comments cant even afford any of those car. And stop being such a professional and know so much. You all only read from other magazines or reviews. LOL
I like the E Class as a classic luxury sedan. The dash design however, will not age well. I see late ‘80’s, early ‘90’s digital dashes. (Think ‘89 Reatta)
Did you just call the interior of the Merc outdated? It's like 2 years old. Sure it doesn't have the tech of the Audi but that's why someone buys a Merc over an Audi. It has a perfectly luxurious interior for the price.
@Martin Evans I agree..... The most important car in the world is now rained by designs that are dumbing down loyal followers' intelligence The current E class is the brightest example
Love these two! Great review as always. Honestly, I think I'd go for the Genesis G80 Sport with the copper accents over these two. I don't want touch controls for my climate system when it's negative 30 degrees in the winter and nothing will respond like in the Audi. Also fingerprints everywhere is dirty. These two are not my favorites of the class. I Also have no idea what 450 stands for in the Mercedes. Originally thought the 4s where the mid AMG tier. Guess not
Lmfaooo you're funny bro. I literally came from the MB dealership and literally seen a guy complain about his g80 genesis and well he traded it in for a E class and well he couldn't stand the g80 lol
Now, when the virtual cockpits are becoming more common, I don't understand why manufacturers are still installing dashboard screens. Maybe now we will return to the low line dashboards pre 2000s. Also, I totally missed the last part with Jodi.
Let me preface this statement by saying I'm an audi owner 2017 s6. The sole reason for selecting audi over mb is simply because I believe audi has the best interior design. I test drove and inspect in every detail possible all E-class models [Only the E-63S was better in terms of power output], but the Audi was so much better in terms of interior design. Subtle, not too flashy but truly modern. The MMI.is perfectly positioned on the dashboard makes it EXTREMELY easy to see the navigation as you drive without getting distracted. This is one of the things I love with the audi--navigation is positioned so that you don't have to look DOWN to see where you are going. I think this is where audi may've..went wrong with this design. Keep the navigation MMI..system where it originally was--it makes the vehicle look much better. This could've been a better review. Great cars, but Quattro rules!😂😂
On paper mercedes wins this game performance wise. But the design of Audi A6 is undoubly better and you feel indeed more modern in it. And since Mercedes is know for it very high comfort standard, it is not suprising that it is more fun driving an Audi than a Mercedes, even tho in term of Acceleration and Racetime the Mercedes is way better. I would take the Audi, even tho i don't like the low Middleconsole and only touchscreen theme. I am very drive oriented and there is no point in driving 250kmh, if it feels slow. For daily driver they are both very good cars. Mercedes has more Horsepower, but has a lower fueltank, so you need to go more often to fuelstation. On the other hand, Mercedes has more safety from the get go. So depending on what people want: Look (Audi), Performance (Mercedes), Value (Horse Power= Mercedes, Upkeep=Audi), Safety (Mercedes), Feeling (Audi), Tech (Audi). It is kinda a close match.
The A6 Looks cheap inside & has a lot of Plastic Parts...The Materials are just crap...Look at These plastic caps on the Bang&olufsen Sound system...anyway the Benz is the Quality Car, while the A6 tries was too hard.
только что отъездил 15 дней на а6 3.0 дизель по Германии, Швейцарии, Италии, Австрии и опять Германии, проехал 3938 км по 9 альпийским перевалам и т д.... более ебанутого агрегата у меня никогда не было))) Она рядом не стоит ни с 5 бмв, ни с ешкой, молчу уже про CLS))
That Audi is soooo nice.. Looks better in and out then the merc. But still, I would have to go with the merc simply because the audi feels like it's trying to hard.
When they're taken care of and maintianed like any machine, they last for many years. Knowing how a car works helps a ton. Parts and materials for fixing MBs is so cheap and easy. It's the inflated premium in labor that costs you tons. Every DIY maintenance or repair literally costs only 5-10% of the dealer. And every Indie Mechanic specializing in them is affordable at only 50% of dealers.
Neither. Isn’t that the old A6? Plus, the interior manages to look both futuristic and cheap at the same time. Lots of screens but also lots of shiny black plastic. My uncle has the E Class. Nice car, but interior quality is shockingly down compared to BMW. Things creak in there. And the plastic bits, while sorta hidden (but not really) are like Toyota Yaris grade plastic. I’m not trying to be facetious when I say that the new K900 has a better interior lol. The alternative? Well, if you must have a German luxury sedan, I think the 5 Series is the best. Otherwise (and hear me out), the new Cadillac CT6 is the way to go. It looks better than all these cars, drives better than all these cars, has ‘super cruise’, and will be dead cheap to maintain since most things can be raided from GM’s bottomless parts bin. It’s kinda like stealth wealth, but not really. Also, is Jodi leaving?
Well technically the stinger gt is like 50,000 dollars sooo not really thousands left. And the regular stinger is only a 4cylinders. These are turbo 6s. And these are real luxury cars. The kia is in the class with a dodge charger. Not real luxury
Specs or not, price less or more, a Kia just doesn't age well. I like every "NEW" shiny model that comes out, but 10 yrs later, I can't think of why I liked it at all. The German 3 can all age well like a good Bourbon or Whiskey. Not for everyone's flavor, but can be respected and appreciated.
Stinger boys need to sit down. That car is so over hyped it's not even funny. The stinger is like 5k cheaper than A6 both fully loaded. Kia gets a win with a 100k warranty(if kia honors anything, lots of clients are having trouble). The AUDI feels so much more refined and powerful than the kia.

Both are exceptional cars, I'd take the A6.
Joe Hammond exceptionally expensive and unreliable..
Exceptional at what? Not working
Blake Swan lol
@@gigi9467 Audi is not as unreliable as it used to be that is just a rediculous stereotype.

One of the smart ones
Wait a second! Isn't that Cliché Corner??
wtf!!! @thestraightpipes lets solve this!!!
Yeah it is. They test in similar locations.
Lol it definitely looks like a cliche corner to film car reviews at
That's what I thought too
A what second?
I would want either car with a tan or saddle color interior. Those black interiors look so boring.
E classe for me
I’d take the Mercedes based on my experienced reliability with the two brands.
Agreed. My mom has a W205 and it's been reliable. Love it
see everything comes down to your experience because we have a 2018 Audi q7 and a 2018 Mercedes S-Class and only the Mercedes has given us troubles. But they are both great cars though.
Peter McDonald Yeah see exactly my experiences could not have been more different. It just comes down to your luck.
can i ask why?
people who buy these new don't give a rats bass about that.
Why the button/knob hatred? Touch screens can be distracting
Personally I have both 2 cars suv and car and I prefer the touch screen
Why was the 5 series left out of this comparison?
Broke down on the way there
@@swanblake oh please that would be the Jaguar XF
both are great cars but the e class in my opinion drives smoother, quicker, and has that amazing most beautiful ambient lighting.
So you get the best version of the A6 but not the E class, makes sense
Same price range
Great comparison. I like the looks of this Audi. Those wheels look good but I shudder to think of the ride and how many wheels and tires you have to replace when you put it in a pothole.
That last comment she made was totally uncalled for and unprofessional.
The worst review ever she has to go.
I could not understand her.
I like the Audi A6
David Wu yes man
I’m choosing E class. Audi looks boring and Undistinctive on the road. Audi’s interior is all hard touch. I hate touchscreens on cars because it’s distracting so e class wins and it’s beautiful
You clearly haven’t been in either vehicle. Audi and hard touch? Lol. They both are perfect but c’mon man, no alternative facts here. Bahaha
If Audi have hard touch ....then Mercedes is all plastic .... :D
Not going to lie those touch screens are not distracting. We got a loaner A6 and they were actually just as easy to use as the buttons in my Q7.
How often do you actually use it? When i drive i never touch or do anything than changing gear or Having my Hands on the steering wheel. lol
The e class is gorgeous 🤤🤤😍
I wasn't expecting her to do that at the end.
Is that her signature sign off?
Sorry to see you go Jodi. Your reviews were always great and I really enjoyed the videos you did with Craig Cole. Best wishes in your new job!
Jeff Taylor - nail salon?
I'd take the AUDI. Everyone who has a little extra money drives a Mercedes 🙄 i want people guessing when i pull up. "Wow, what is that" it's my Audi 😎
You get that wow factor in a Mercedes it’s better to
Martin Evans not at all the Mercedes has soo much more to offer in technology especially like the s class way better than the audi a8
@@SM-1010 wow factor, no. Everyone knows what a Mercedes is. Flashy, gody and typical. But more features and stuff definitely. You can get a Mercedes with bulletproof glass and champagne glasses.

Is the girl leaving Autoguide. In reference to what she said in the end?
Who cares.
I hope so
That last part was awkward and cringe worthy
Chai wen Chen - Hope so, she sux.
A6 for my 2 cents!
What was that obscene final sentence about?! How inappropriate.
you guys really bashed on the mercedes. and I dont appreciate that, even as an audi fan.
Jodi I absolutely love your reviews! Are you guys planning to review the 2022 or 2023 Acura MDX anytime soon?

I was cross shopping the two and took the A6. E class was just too bland for my taste, preferred the C class styling more (coming from a C43).
I like the E Class as a classic luxury sedan. The dash design however, will not age well. I see late ‘80’s, early ‘90’s digital dashes. (Think ‘89 Reatta)
Plus Audi more reliable do your research buddy
Brandan honda no you are wrong the Mercedes is more reliable the Audi won’t last 30k miles
Brandan honda Mercedes go well over 100k Ik bc I have one
Leo so my moms Mercedes is at around the same miles and still good
Worst review u just said the Audi is better bc of the dual clutch but never did a real practicality test
Where is the 2020 Corvette Stingray C8!? Why aren't you guys on top of this?
A6
E Class wins. No question. Those r just audi fanboys
Did you just call the interior of the Merc outdated? It's like 2 years old. Sure it doesn't have the tech of the Audi but that's why someone buys a Merc over an Audi. It has a perfectly luxurious interior for the price.
Joel Brennan it getting outdated compare to Newer Audi and BMW
Audis always look the same and Benz designers are on a ruthless mission to water down the once muscular image of the most important car in the world
@Martin Evans
I agree.....
The most important car in the world is now rained by designs that are dumbing down loyal followers' intelligence
The current E class is the brightest example
Love these two! Great review as always. Honestly, I think I'd go for the Genesis G80 Sport with the copper accents over these two.

@@flyclyfire188 well well well
E Class for me. All the time.
Ehhhh leaning towards the 2019 Craig Cole.
It's the mercedes Benz e class for me. I love it.
Isn’t the Audi Hybrid the same as GM had years pass
Now, when the virtual cockpits are becoming more common, I don't understand why manufacturers are still installing dashboard screens. Maybe now we will return to the low line dashboards pre 2000s. Also, I totally missed the last part with Jodi.
A6 all day
No, thanks. E-class for me, please.
Between the two... I'll take the 2020 C8. 😜
Too loud...
Literally & Figuratively... 😒
So Jodi is leaving?
Yeah, that's my question.
i also enjoyed the spray painted on jeans.
Wanna lose all credibility after putting in long hours of hard work into a car review? 9:35 is how you do it
Is this an Audi commercial?😕
Why is Jodi leaving? Didn't know

GHN1013 I am in South Korea.
Audis definitely makes an impressive vehicle but IMO there’s nothing like a Benz. And that Looks like cliche corner to me!
Audi all day!
Nice cars but a bad review
The A6 Looks cheap inside & has a lot of Plastic Parts...The Materials are just crap...Look at These plastic caps on the Bang&olufsen Sound system...anyway the Benz is the Quality Car, while the A6 tries was too hard.
A6 hands down
Ill wait for the E53
I usually can’t bare her videos but I enjoyed this one ☝🏾
Yah Allah
Bye forever? Ya quit!?
Her voice is so annoying. I lowered the volume but it still sounds like she is screaming. They need a better host.
5 series is a real man’s car - have all three in my driveway
Nice green bezel black dial Sub :)
The rear turning signals/lights are so boring. Meh
So both this cars start at 60k? hmmmm..........ill take a c8....lol
That review absolutely loses all credibility for me with how immature the female presenter is at the end, such a shame.
Cringey af
I have a feeling the Mercedes will be better long term. I agree I would also lease the Audi with a saddle color interior.

Frank Lin Different argument entirely.
Stinger boys need to sit down. That car is so over hyped it's not even funny. The stinger is like 5k cheaper than A6 both fully loaded. Kia gets a win with a 100k warranty(if kia honors anything, lots of clients are having trouble). The AUDI feels so much more refined and powerful than the kia.
