When I did saw the EQE the first time I was thinking, thats only a smal Version of the EQS BUT after Watching lot of Videos I like it much more then the EQS. Great Car in all way but to expansive for me😒
to be honest, i saw your video just now and i have to say its very good. Info, Quality, chapters. Well done! And of course what a beautiful car, this is a complete other level then tesla oder others.
Thank you Nikola, I absolutely love the CLA45s, lots more videos on the way. My car is almost a year old! Can’t believe it. Still smile every time I drive it :)
My dad has an EQS. Some may hate how the EQS looks but once you‘ve driven one you are willing to forgive it for the front design Edit: with the door mirrors pointing down a little in reverse it’s really not hard to line it up with parking spaces, plus the reverse cam is amazing
They are getting better but you can't beat a proper combustion engine. After having the EQE for a week the CLA45s felt incredible to drive when we re-united.
I’m thinking about hydro dipping the piano black interior pieces to glossy carbon fibre. I haven’t done this yet because to be honest the piano black has been much better than I expected. It’s not such a large open area like the center console in the c class. Think I’d still love to do it though and it’s all great video content.
With the news that Mercedes is discontinuing the EQE and EQS platform lines; (I’m guessing they’re switching to BMW’s strategy? Where i5 and 5serie are same platform, and i7 and 7serie?) I wonder if it’s safe to buy into an EQE model or if we should wait for the next cycle where there would be that iE or whatever they call it
They are still manufacturing the eqe and eqs on different chassis to the e and a class they are only merging the names. so EQS will be sold as an S class name.
For this reason, I bought mine used (demo car, 30 months 12 000 km 46% discount under the price of a brand new one and a crazy FIVE YEARS warranty on this used car from M-B and ten years warranty for the battery).
@@pacmanc8103 im honest not seeking clout or blind follower. voicing my opinion. I own and grow up with Mercedes cars in the drive-way. my grandfather always had 2 s-class one for work other for Sundays. mom had e-class and dad Gwagon. i optioned a 13 MB c250 w/handling pkg. ipads don't belong in cars. the drama and distraction of screens is not inspiring just cliche and bad for eyes.
@@Sympatiko85 You voiced an opinion for others as well as yourself. I have owned Mercedes vehicles - all sedans (not SUVs)- exclusively since the 1990s, after switching from BMWs. I personally am not a fan of the hyper screen, but are the EQ Mercedes ‘too futuristic for America’? Of course not - no more than mobile phones were too futuristic in 1992.
@@pacmanc8103 I have the hyper screen in my new 2023 AMG EQS and I absolutely love it. Anything less than that now is too minimalist for me. 🙂Granted, I am the kind of guy who prefers more tech, less buttons, etc., which, I know, is not yet a mainstream opinion these days. I do heartily agree with your assertion that the Mercedes EQ line is definitely not too futuristic for the USA, especially in places like CA, NY and where I live in NV. While driving, I am seeing more and more EVs and Mercedes has added the level of comfort and luxury I always said I needed before opting to buy one.
Same, there are FAR too many cars in the Mercedes line up that can be called ugly right now. BMW are suffering from the same affliction but not as acutely. VW group however, some very nice cars there. Don't really care about the range and the toys. Good to drive better to own is what they used to say about Mercedes. Soon that'll be good to drive, bad to look at.
It does take some getting used to. The design is all about aerodynamics. It certainly drew a lot of attention while I had it. I like that the EV’s have more of a unique look to the normal line up but I’m definitely more a fan of the normal look. It will be interesting to see how this design evolves over the next few years.
Ah don’t worry I’m still all about combustion and AMGs! I plan to try and review lots of AMGs but I really wanted to try the new EQs too. I love the tech and it’s really interesting to see where the future holds and thought a lot of people would be interested to hear my thoughts.
No electric car is worth their ridiculous unfair high prices. No there not enough electricity in our USA to power and charge electric cars. California now does not have enough electricity supply charging the many numbers of electric cars and this horrible state now has blackout where they forbid charging. Our world is also running out of materials to make the batteries that is needed so we are now damaging and devastating our earth. When the time comes to sell or trade-in an electric cars the poor owners are going to get a huge surprise for the depreciation of their electric cars because the cost of replacing the batteries is super expensive, about $20,000.00. Electric cars owners are going to get a very huge unpleasant and ugly shock. Be smart and AVOID buying any worthless electric car.
Love my EQE, got it last friday!

It's a great car as far as EV's go but it is very expensive, especially once you start adding all the optional toys.

Thanks!
Thank you so much Kevin :)
This was the most entertaining review ever. Need to watch it again with my wife. 😂
Good job, really good video!! Btw you are the reason I ordered mine cla 45s :)

@@ABAUTOAMG mine just got produced and on the way can’t wait to see/drive it. Your content is really good, keep the good work :)
@@nikolalefterov7472 Ah that’s so exciting to hear, bet you can’t wait! Thank you for the nice comments. I hope you enjoy your car when it arrives! 🎉
What is the range on this car in terms of mph? I apologize if I missed it on the video.

Sounds like he has low test lol
@@lenol0315 a low what?
Loved the part with your wife, watched it my wife here in Norway
Great review.
Thanks Liam 👍
Not a fan of EV but this one looks better than those bug eyed Tesla cars any day of the week.
They are getting better but you can't beat a proper combustion engine. After having the EQE for a week the CLA45s felt incredible to drive when we re-united.
Did you know that if you are near water and have the navigation screen on, the water ripples on the satnav!
Ah! Missed that! Love all the little extra details Mercedes add!
Did you also know that when you use assistance and drive through a tunnel the graphics change to tunnel vision 😮
Why not let the car park itself? Also, you could have used the cameras as well
Do you still plan on adding carbon fiber elements to your CLA45 S? I'm considering doing that to mine but not sure which route to take

Nice but will depreciate quicker than a granny in a care home

the door of EQE and EQS are horrible, is not typical Benz
Great joice to do more Videos with Becky.
Thanks Franky, Need to get her driving an AMG GT :D
More like EQ GLE ！
Lovely car but the first year depreciation is horrendous.
your exhaust is clogged
Huh? It’s an EV :)
great looking car. but the technology is too much. it a car not a van or bus. great but awkward. too futuristic for America.
you don't want to see the hypersceen then...that is an overkill too
Nonsense. Too futuristic for you - don’t speak for others.

So - should we buy the EQE or not?😂
Stay in a place like Texas, buy solar panels and pay no power bills for an electric car, like some wise folks do !
