I think the 2020 Mercedes interior was ideal - enough digital screen space to customize your gauges, phone mirror for maps. The steering wheel and center stack still had mostly high quality physical metal switches and buttons.

The newest generation German cars feel like a science experiment that went straight into production, without considering what is safe / usable to the average buyer.

MBZ should be a classic car with a classic interior not some gimmick interior - they lost me

[SamLed]

Beautiful Benz. Bring back buttons please. Maybe it's the audio quality on my phone but why does engine sound like a vacuum cleaner?

[gullible]

Not a giant fan of the front interior but man the exterior is something else. Alpine Gray looks really good too. You can even get a two tone paint job on this, an E-class 😂 amazing.

[zsamps]

I appreciate Benz for not making this new E-Class ugly (cough, BMW and the 5 series, cough). One thing that I think looks weird and cheap in the new model is the hyper screen. It's all chopped up and just doesn't look luxury car worthy to me. I would definitely go for the standard display.

[exiles]

Lovely videos!! Keep up the good work!

Für ihre netten worte, auch dir alles gute und bleib stets gesund.

[kaeden]

It's almost criminal to be this early

[Gazoo]

Hey Chris, can’t say these luxury sedans are for me but great video regardless. Side question, would you say the new Nismo Z suspension is stiffer than the stock gr86? I know the base Z suspension is extremely soft compared to the 86. Thanks

I wish more modern cars would make dashes more integrated like this. The screens are flush with the dash. They dont look like someone just glued an ipad to the dash

[fk_paybackj]

i totally agree with you on this one. wish Mercedes could bring some more physical buttons. the design has always been top notch. thank you for the video sir God richly bless you.

[sillwuka]

i was just watching a video of the new 5 series interior and it's.. shocking. let's see what this is like!

[MountainLife]

Were the E-Class cabins always this small? Reminds me of a cramped airline seat when the person in front of you reclines with the way the dash slopes. Exterior is beautiful

[Ok_Mountain_]

I want a luxury E class with a manual transmission, I’m the odd one out but I think that would be so damn cool

[aTypeRated]

Steering could have be done much better in design terms.

[bassandtrebleclef]

Any idea the cost out of ripping out all of the screens and installing a gauge cluster from a mid 90s E class? Peak screen size was reached in 2021 with the 10 inch screen in the Merc. They had found the best mix of screen real estate and hard buttons for ease of use and lack of distracting nonsense which is now festooned all over this car.

[wahahah]

maybe they adding the passenger screen because of all the evs with screens that you can watch youtube and etc on. And also Audi is adding it in their's too.

[faris]

90k for an E-class? What has this car market come to

[possession]

costs to much for a E-Class but its really nice.

[pouyameykhosh]

The screens and lack of buttons are disappointing and also the illuminated grill is gimmicky. But other than it's a pretty good car.
