If you think sedan sales are down, 2-door coupes should be on the endangered species list. Fortunately, Mercedes-Benz has a wide variety of 2-doors for people who want the intimacy of a true coupe (not the 4-door kind). The E 450 has received a significant refresh for 2021 and it’s way beyond some sheet metal tweaks. The standard engine is now a turbocharged inline-6 cylinder with EQ Boost (aka a mild hybrid system). This is the engine the E Class deserves. And the interior is lovely because, well, it’s a Mercedes. Tom Voelk checks out a well-equipped 4MATIC model. A CORRECTION- The base price for a rear drive E 450 Coupe is $66,000 with delivery, not 70K as stated in the video.

I love the E class Mercedes. The C is a bit small, the S is too expensive, the E is just right. This coupé is beautiful. Excellent review Tom.

Hey Tom! I really liked your review. I always loved coupés. To me, they are just so much more elegant and luxurious than sedans - not to mention Station wagons and 4*4s. Hence, after thoughtful consideration I treated myself with an E 450 AMG 4 matic coupé yesterday. Do opt for the panoramic roof, the large displays and the air suspension. Here in Europe we love the AMG line mainly due to the design. They make up the bulk of the sales. Your comments helped me digesting the negative attitude of my female friend ... she just loves SUVs and 4*4s.Keep up the great work! Greetings from Switzerland.

@stephenhendricks103 3 года назад

What a gorgeous automobile! I share a distaste for referring to 4 door vehicles as "coupes." True coupes are the high maintenance girlfriends of the automotive world. So what if they're inconvenient. Their beauty compensates for all the effort required. And the E450 is the supermodel of the genre. Your wife doesn't like the large heavy door of the Mercedes? Obviously, she should never have to open or close her own door. That's your job or that of a valet. As I've noted in other videos I watch this channel in part to see the familiar roads east of Seattle that I miss after moving away. That "Road Closed" sign at the beginning of the video has been in place for years. As I recall the road was initially blocked after one of the "500 year floods" in the area that come along every five years, or so. I wonder if it will ever be reopened. As always, a great review. With a daughter soon to be off to college I won't be visiting my local MB dealer to buy one but the eye candy alone is worth the thumb up. :)

@jamies.9290 3 года назад

The E-class is the best looking of the C/E/S, to my eye, and the coupe version is even better. But I've always had a soft spot for coupes--I've owned a few and my best friend used to own a two-door GTI that I loved. I think that some of coupes' issues are often overstated (although they're obviously off-limits for those moving car seats in and out). For example, I've found the back seats are often better on coupes than the equivalent sedans because they're frequently bucket seats. You lose the middle seat (which is rarely used) and instead get two comfier outboard seats. Similar to Tom's wife though, my wife absolutely hates coupes and how long the doors are. Always has trouble getting them to "notch" into a position to stay open. One more note about this Merc -- I wish it didn't have a power sliding seat to access the back. That thing takes forever. A mechanical action would take one second to slide all the way forward, while these seats take (by the video's count) a staggering TEN seconds to slide fully up. Much like a power liftgate, it's something that's not as convenient in practice as in theory.

@rationallion9438 3 года назад

A coupé is a passenger car with a sloping or truncated rear roofline and two doors and was first applied to horse-drawn carriages for two passengers without rear-facing seats. Coupé is French for "to cut" and thus indicates a car which has been "cut shorter" than standard. The German car makers obviously have a different translation...

The power was totally gone and the salesman couldn't even open the door (red flag; I took it as an omen). Shortly after, we found out from the lot boy that the Panamera (coupe?!) had already been sold anyway. So, long story short, I ended up trading in my 2016 E400 coupe for a 2021 E450 coupe.
