2024 Mercedes E-Class Review: Watch out BMW

The Mercedes-Benz E-Class is arguably the most important model in the German company's line-up. Sitting between the C-Class and flagship S-Class, it is a rival to the BMW 5 Series and Audi A6, and aims to beat both with a combination of luxury and technology.

In this CarGurus UK review, Vicky Parrott tests the plug-in hybrid E300e version of the E-Class, which is available in saloon or estate body styles and has a real-world electric-only range of more than 60 miles (against a claimed range of 72 miles). Could it be the perfect company car?

Remind me looking at your phone whilst driving is illegal yet on this massive screen you have to take your eyes off the road to change the buttons please

2:56 3:52 the way those panels move when you press them screams PREMIUM QUALITY. Give it a couple of months and it will start creaking too, like a typical modern Merc.

Good for Mercedes offering diesel options unlike BMW in the UK with their new 5 series

[shaywhelan]

I've had every generation of E Class in the estate, and a few convertible models. Mercedes started dramatically increasing their prices in recent years and this is out of reach for me now

[JamesSmith-qshx]

It needs the hood ornament to be a proper merc...

[MiniEggs]

I thought the exclusive trim was the top spec with the real leather?

[francisgallozzi]

if it's too complicated for you to change the temperature from the infotainment screen, you can use the voice command

[MiniEggs]

Looking at e class brochure air sus is available as an option and standard on 450d maybe you can try one in exclusive premium plus trim and see how the top of the tree compares

This is the second YouTube reviewer saying the “E class” badge is around since 1993. But I have a 1989 E class with a very clear badge that says 260 E. And before that we had a 240E from 1984. So I don’t understand the YouTubers for their 1993 reference???

[alexanderstefanov]

Those screens are too much, it's lost its luxury ambience, fail for me

[manjitdigital]

Hey Car gurus, Just checked your youtube, really great stuff.
I was wondering are you looking for a short or long form video editor ? Or Whole Youtube management ?

[markwebb]

It would be the Diesel for me. Very apprehensive to touch anything with a battery considering how EV prices are tanking.

[sumon]

w212 is still the most reliable， though not over -engineered. My 2014 facelift version still runs smoothly.❤

[zizou]

Love the car not the price..way too expensive for my liking.

[SDav]

It's a good thing that there's so many far cheaper good cars out there these days because these cars are so expensive that people who could once afford an E can no longer do so. It somehow makes it less interesting than when they used to launch a new version in the past.

[pereldh]

”Screenage”! 😊 Fitting word.
Not a bad looking car, seems Merc are in good form once more

[keelatravis]

I drove a BMW for 9 years. Recently looked at the 5 series and the new E class Merc.. I decided on an Audi A6. 🙈
The designs have me bothered. 😕

[Ava]

What happens to the fossil fuel you are not using if travelling only by electric most of the time. Does it decay or good for several months?

[GaryV-ph]

Does it have rear wheel steering like on the S class

[lungaswazi]

She's so no nonsense. I just love her reviews
