Mercedes-Benz E-Class 2024 W214 - Long Live Diesel! (ENG) - Test Drive and Review

Mercedes-Benz E-Class W214 is - at first glance - very similar to its predecessor E-Class W123. The new 2024 E-Class is only slightly larger, than the model it replaces. However it is also significantly smaller, than the new BMW 5 Series G60. This is parly because the BMW 5 Series has to accommodate three powertrain versions: regular internal combustion engine, a plug-in hybrid and pure electric. Meanwhile the E-Class is just ICE or PHEV. Mercedes decided to design a separate platform for its larger EVs, and the electric E-Class is a separate model called the EQE, and it rides on a dedicated platform.

Very elegant car. Looks much better than the BMW. Great review!

[TheJoStephan]

If you only compare 5-series & E class, the new E class is by far a better looking car. Regardless of target market, but even so, its elegance and beauty as we used to expect from Mercedes. Love the design of this new E !

[Hvitserk]

I think that, objectively assessed, it is a very close call between today's E-class and the 5-series. It's mostly about personal preferences. The BMW is hardly as sport-oriented as previous generations have been and the Mercedes is more driver-oriented than previous generations. Personally, I like the design of the Mercedes and I think that the BMW has some unfortunate angles where it seems a bit bloated. Correspondingly also with the driver's environment and the dashboard. I'm not a big fan of BMW's new stand-alone screen. The way Mercedes has solved this seems more sophisticated in my opinion.

“I don’t want to change this for another press car for a long time” - kinda sums it up! Very nice review. Thanks. G.

Good review. You've confirmed that the Super Screen is a waste of money. Get the natural wood option because it's back light with either the Mercedes logo or AMG logo if you get the AMG. A more elegant solution and saves money.

[takuan]

Good review of a nice car that not many of us regular folks could or would buy. Nice to see nice to forget.

Your reviews are such high quality. Deserves more subs IMO. Keep it up!

[VittorioSergi]

I'm still in that world where if a car ISN?T diesel I won't even look at it, better fuel consumption, better torque and more low down, what's not to like compared to a petrol car?

I have one E220d and comsumption is amazing...today went to the mountains, made about 160 km and average comsuption was 2.9 l/100 km.
Comfortable, silent inside . The touch buttons you get used to it fast

[blackcyborg]

The Diesel Plug-in Hybrid (E300de) is nice in the All Terrain variant.

[jcarlton]

Very well done review Marek! Your reviews are always informative for the livability of a vehicle.

E-class looks better than 5 series, but the touch buttons on the doors and steering wheel are annoying.
Took a C-class for test drive and could not close the door from the inside without messing with the touch buttons on them. Also managed to change the radio channel alot and cluster view while driving.
So I would put my monney on team BMW (actually already did by ordering the X1 30e).

Excelente auto diesel mejor todavía 💪 saludos desde Córdoba Argentina

[fdmc]

All is good but the price 100k??? is unbelievably high for the C segment and 2l diesel. Great video as always!!!

[enricio]

😃. I'll like the over 1000 km range. You made it very clear that you're surprised by it's comfort. This would much appeal to me. 😌👌✨

[ivanmifsud]

Amazing car worthy of the 3 Pointed Star

[Commentator]

Raw edges around the trunk mechanism? Saw the same thing on the 5. Nope, pushed it too far.

[alexanderstefanov]

The silicon valley dashboard is tech overkill and loses the luxury vibe of the previous e class. I'm sure it drives well but I'd buy a Toyota
