2016 Mercedes E-Class first drive review

In the form we’ve sampled it, the new E-Class is a deeply impressive piece of machinery, combining comfort, quality, luxury and practicality. However, the cars we tested were rammed full of performance-enhancing optional equipment, so we’re hardly any the wiser about how the car will perform in its standard form. Here’s hoping…

The proportions of this car is just perfection. The style is timeless and its presence is second to none. It whispers class. It needs to seek no attention. It will get it regardless. I will have to wait a few years till I can get one but make no mistake I will get one.

And than they say that Audi and BMW looks all the same.. Its nothing compares to what Mercedes have done now..

Can you please share what kind of Microphone was used in the recorded around the One Minute mark? I'm particularity interested because of the quality kept in the recording despite the high winds.

Why is the new E Class gonna be sold in the UK with the badge in the grille rather than in the bonnet? I prefer it with the badge on the bonnet, that's a proper Mercedes Benz!

No point in buying a s class car anymore, since e class is pretty much identical but 30k cheaper.

Nice review ! Can you help me with the location of the shoot ?

[PirekJakub]

Nice review. And it looks like pretty good damm car :). Anyway I ve noticed one disballance regarding steering wheel switches. They are :( and it looks unballanced on the white steering wheel. Maybe pre-production problem.

[bodrulm]

looks like a c class. you really have to look closely to notice the difference. plus the fact this will make a popular taxi cab...

[MrSpencely]

Looks better with that grill, shame we won't be offered it in the UK.
