2021 Mercedes-Benz E 350 4MATIC Sedan Gets Freshened Up And Adds Tech 

I really appreciate the hard work you put in to give us quality videos. This is the weekly review I look forward to the most

Can't believe they got rid of the clock.

2019: Who would buy that much TP? 2020: 🙋‍♂️

Not here for this E class sedan. Here for Tom's type of slick reviews. Tom, Keep doing what you do... Appreciate your way of reviews.. Evil Twin's bit, never gets old lol

Tom, the work you put into these reviews is appreciated.

The work you put in is one of the reasons why your the best automotive reviewer on RU-vid. Always look forward to watching your video productions.

I appreciate that you didn't review the absolute fully optioned car, but a car from somewhere around the middle of the line. It helps to give better perspective of the "normal" or average cost and options of a car line. Thank you.

You have the best car review channel on RU-vid.

Best reviews on the net. Thank you, Tom.

Your editing skills are always top-notch and its evidenced by they number of views and subscribers. Thanks for another excellent review.

I love your reviews and appreciate your attention to details. Fun facts and humor are interesting as well. ⭐️

$65k for a middle-ish tier midsize sedan with a turbo 4 cylinder is just crazy money. I can tell I’m not the target audience for this car.

I said this before and I will say it again love your car reviews. I absolutely appreciate your attention to detail in getting things just right. Love your in depth review and your footage is emersive. Awesome job world class!

Keep up the awesome work Tom!

Cool review Tom! Thank you.

Great review as usual. Cool car too!

Best car in its class by a mile. I had a pleasure to test drive one of these vs bunch of its competitors

Yet another great video!! Thank you!!!

Great review on a good car. The little hip-ups are sign the real person is involved and a test of this time. Thank you from Newfoundland Canada.

Consistently the best car reviews on RU-vid. How is it Tom does not have more subscribers is a crime.

admire the hard work and independent thought...keep it up!

Tom, have you thought about reaching out to some other RU-vidrs to do some collaboration? That's often how i find new channels. Your outstanding work really deserves more subscriptions.

Really like your reviews. 👍🏻

I like Tom's car reviews, he has a great style and love the voice.. 😂, also the twin Tom segments, clever and funny, but also I'm loving the quality of video, the 4K experience is like no other, I can also turn the resolution down to as low as 240p,on my 4K Sony Xperia XZ Premium, and it still looks amazingly clear, but I just do that to test my phone and video quality. Another great review.

It's nice that you reviewed the middle of the line trim instead of the fully optioned top of the line trim.

Not interested in the 4. The inline 6 is the one you want. Tom, thank you for commenting about the ski capacity. I usually have to take my ski bag and test fit. The salesperson always enjoys that part 😆

The 2 liter displacement is useful in markets where displacement taxes exist.

great video, love the shots with 2 of you hehe

As a Costco employee, I love your reviews and have been a subscriber for quite some time! Feel free to pop in to Oregon coast warehouse next time you’re in town! Very much enjoy your reviews of course

I cant imagine paying almost 65k for a 4 cylinder

Great Review.

I liked the old DRL design where you could tell which Benz was coming your way based on how many strips there were: C-class (1), E-class (2), S-class (3)

6:10 Mercedes isn't afraid to shade it's owners. 😂😂😂

As always another great video Tom! I never put much stock in Motor Trend’s car of the year picks. They never factor in things like utility and reliability when they choose a winner. I agree with you on your pick, I too like the Porsche Tycan and think that deserves car of the year. Anyway thanks Tom.....and evil twin for another great review!

El Oh El I didn't even notice the toy in the road! Great video, Tom.

2 year-old E class coming off lease are great bargains. Low mileage MB certified ones can be had for around $40k. MB adds 2 years to the remaining 2 years of the original warranty.

love the social distancing from yourself concerning back seat room

Great to see you behind the wheel again, Tom 🙌🏾

I love that this is Seattle, I got mine from MBSeattle, such a great car !

Hi Tom. Yours is the only automotive channel that I am subscribed to right now. Is it possible for you to keep us updated with every important piece in the auto industry (for eg. AMG twins owning the Nurburgring track record, Bugatti Bolide etc). I don't like too many notifications hence I unsubbed other automotive channels. A video every [edit]month to keep us updated ? Please sir, kindly consider. Thank you. P.S.: Do I have to say 'Great review Tom!' everytime ? I know you know it already. Cheers :)

Tom, I didn’t notice any decrease in quality in this review. It was great as always. You should worry a little less about those little things lol 😂

I love this high revving engine

Good car, good review.

Tom, When do you review the wagon?

11:54 That homeowner who opted for the car canopy is absolutely genius and classy.

Great review. I like the wagon more.

Like the inside but outside leaves me a bit cold. Spiraling options list always stopped me from giving them a serious look. I'm leaning towards the decked out G80 myself but would like to see what happens with the ID.4 in the US. I know it's a totally different class of vehicle but if I go EV, that would probably be my pick. Definitely won't be a Tesla as I think they're poorly built and have sorely lacking interiors. It's like buying a taxi! G80 just gives me the right vibe.

I've always appreciated your efforts in your videos, it shows, that's why imma proud sub of this channel 😁. About the car....i find it a bit "rich" paying or asking $60+K for a 4-cylinder i mean if you can afford at this price point why not go for the 6 cylinder but that's just me. 🤷🏻‍♂️

That 3 pointed star usually offers directions to the nearest Mercedes dealer for warranty work. Nice car, but for my hard-earned money, I'd take an equivalent Cadillac. Maybe even the discontinued Lexus GS350 (which would now be a great value). This car is a lease, not a buy. The Caddy or Lexus, would be a buy. Or....would take a hard look at the new Genesis.

Great review as always. However, I hope we’ll get to see you do an upper trim with more options... 401 Ventilated Front Seats and real leather, most notably 😅 rear sunshades too!

Disappointed the car didn't answer 42. 😉 The E-Class used to be a decent value for the money, no more.

Just finished reading the Motor Trend COTY. They said the All Terrain (wagon) is classified as an SUV by M-B. The ground clearance is slightly better than the actual wagon. My guess is the All Terrain will come in the E 450 variant and the actual wagon will ultimately only come in the E 63 AMG version. The new inline 450 engine is sweet, powerful, and quiet. We just bought the 2021 GLE 450 SUV and it is extremely smooth and quiet. It is noticeably more quiet than the 2019 GLS 450 which had the previous incarnation of the V-6 (versus the I-6 now being built). Very noticeably more quiet. Excellent review and THANKS!

Would love for you to test the E53 sedan

The German car makers have all figured out that the most efficient compromise between fuel efficiency and power of a turbocharged combustion engine was to make each cylinder being a little over-square (i.e. stroke slightly shorter than bore) at exactly 500cc each: 4 x 500cc = 2000cc = 2 litres. Hence the ubiquitous 3.0 litre 6s and 4.0 litre V-8s throughout their lineups as well. Cadillac and the high-end Japanese makers followed suite because the marketing folks said to, perhaps.

I thought the video was great Tom...I didn't notice any of the things you mentioned. That said I would not pay $75-$80K for a 4 cylinder luxury sedan. especially when some slightly used AMGs can be had for that price. Keep up the awesome work.

Awesome

A 4-cylinder E-Class is a penalty box. And the 6 gets better mileage?? Ya nah! That grille is too CLA... so, just like the powertrain then. Keep yer pricey vinyl seats, Fritz. Send us some nice wool or velour.

I think they do some of their best design work on the E Class, such an overlooked part of their line up. I prefer USBC ports, easy to get a pack of adapters for USB-A when needed...

Minor correction, Tom. The Genesis G80 (and GV80) base engine is a 2.5L turbo rather than a 2.0L power plant. It's the same optional engine found in the Sonata N-Line, K5 GT, and the KIA Sorento.

And what did Moriko thinks of the car? Since I saw her driving it. Great footage as always!

Thinking eh about that particular model but definitely appreciate the great reviews as always! Funny, I always just assumed your house was stocked full with toilet tissue to last a lifetime, but now I know.

2020 - everyone buying e class 👌🏻 2021 - no one ☝️

Lots of comments about the 4 cylinder, but most (many) cars now have a turbo 4. 0- 60 is not slow or bad. BUT, but for not much more, I’d go for the 3.0 liter.

Glad I’m not in the market for a Mercedes. $64K with vinyl seats and a 4 banger! What caught my eye? The Alaskan camper on the Chevy (with a utility bed under the camper). Classic!

It’s weird. My 2019 E350 has 300HP and 400Nm straight out of factory. Why is it only 255HP in the US? Here this setting is marked E300 only.

Nice review as always, Tom. The E350 doesn’t offer the luxury nor value I expect.

Which is better -- this or the 5 Series??

Taxes in many markets are based on engine displacement (2.0L for 4cyl, 3.0L for 6cyl, 4.0L for 8cyl). There are also legitimate efficiency benefits for engines with 500cc/cylinder. You may remember a few years Sergio Marchionne acknowledged the wasted capital of manufacturers investing hundreds of millions/billions on virtually identical engines.

Can you tell the Mercedes that “my ass is cold?” And will it turn on the heated seats ? My Tesla does this hilarious 😂

Can u review the new 5 series ?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING EVERYONE 🦃😷🤗

Tom, why did you not mention Volvo S90 when listing this Merc's competitors?

It looks like all the other Benz car's shame cause the interior is on point

All your car reviews are excellent, even if the cars aren't. Some "degree of difficulty" points have definitely been earned here for shooting a white version of a ho-hum looking sedan. The styling, in white at least, is as visually dull as the four litters, um, "note". Surprising MB would want you to review this car in this color. Love the review anyway.

German trio: Mercedes, Audi and BMW, but Mercedes is the only one that always works on the sound insulation of the cabin and that is why it is number 1 in my opinion. Yes I drive an Audi, but I have to admit that like BMW they are not able to make a quiet cabin like Mercedes can.

What do you think about Mercedes dropping the luxury trim (star on hood)?

The 2.0T is the new V6 - and I agree, I think there is a club that decides this stuff.

Cadillac CT5??

Actually Tom, I thought you made a mistake when calling it E class. It looks small on camera and more like the C

I E-class with a 4 cylinder gas motor? I guess some people are fine with this. Not me, but some. Too bad the diesel model is no longer brought here. I'd consider that engine if given that option.

Leslie Nielsen is alive and making youtube videos!

Aside from inferior how does this differ from a C class?

2.0 liter is related to tax regs

Evil twin is a musician??? You should have told us earlier! We look forward to hearing your twin in one of his gigs! ;-) My next car will probably be a Mercedes. but I would not consider it not being an 8 cylinder (must be my concern for the environment...). AMG most definitely. And... second hand, of course! These car can run well over half a million miles if well maintained, so... No problem. And what a price difference! However, I am very disapointed to see that there are lesser and lesser REAL opening sun roofs these days. How come? The pandemia should remind car makers of the greatness of this feature which means only one word to me: Freedom! (whithoug the hassle of a true convertible!). I noticed your "vive la différence". As a true Frenchman, let's put it this way: it di not sound quite like it, but you're on the right track, Tomy. Carry on! I was thumb's up number 80 on this video! Looking forward to your next video and thanks for giving us more hindsight about your Costco metric (the best one was about one of the co-founders who said you could go ahead with your funny gimmick: who wouldn't like this funny story!).

Costco tp test hahahaha

Vinyl seats Similar to a 1970 Buick Skylark

@02:28, the four cylinder ALWAYS sounds like a 4 cylinder, let's not get it twisted. This means as you'd expect, ZERO character. Only 4 cyl on the market with character is the Subaru lump.

I can’t bring myself to own a Merc. I’ve had a Beemer and a Lexus. I’m older now but Merc’s seem like they my parent’s idea of luxury.

This car's styling is...well...

I wish Mercedes would come out with an E580 with the 496 horsepower V8. I think that would compete more directly with the BMW M550I. The E53 doesn't compete directly with the M550.

I just realized those twins buy ALOT of toilet paper. He claims he returns it, not believing it, much wiping.

I hate when they take away trunk space for hybrid cars. Figure out a way to put it somewhere else. It’s just lazy to throw the battery in the trunk

Losing a drag race to a Honda Accord after paying $65 grand will hurt a lot.

I like this car but the headlights make this car look weird like some cute car I’d prefer angry headlights

I definitely think the Italians and Japanese are better at vehicle exterior design.

18 inches wheel. common Mercedes an Accord has a stock 19 inches

2 liter turbos have to do with emissions and government regulations, especially for regions where you have to pay more for larger displacements (china is the big one there)

4 banger E class? No thank you.

Mercedes was foolish to send a refrigerator white (or black) press car. Impossible to photograph in a flattering way.

A loaded kia cadenza is roomier, has a better performing and sounding engine (v6) and costs about 20k less than this lightly optioned e class. Used to be if you wanted performance, safety and tech, you had to pay more. With mercedes and BMW selling what appears to be Buicks, I don't see the appeal of their sedans. The mb 4 cylinders sound like a diesel engine. Why?
