Everybody whining about the styling. It looks like an AMG. The interior is where it shines. No E Class has ever looked better. I'd get this just because of the interior.
Toyota4Life Maybe on the outside but damn sure not on the inside. Maybe you should "slow down" and read a little because that's exactly what I said, smfh...
A Omar It seems every time something new comes out people bitch about it and think everything before it was better. This seems to be the trend. Then when the next car comes all of a sudden it's the holy grail along with everything the came before it. I'm sorry but you guys are stupid. Really stupid. That's all I'm going to say. lol!
The interior is nice, but the exterior is plagued by the same erratic, grotesque styling that ruins all new Mercs. That alone is a reason not to get one, at least for me. Besides the price, of course.
UzzyFuzzyy thats what i heard initially until i kept hearing rumours to the contrary on instagram, so i asked someone very high up at AMG is it defo happening and he said "oh yes!"
there you go. somebody had to tell to this idiot who made the clip. journalism at it's best....and complaining about it being to complicated only shows how he should review pots and pans instead of such complicated affairs.
AMG is the only company that can make better exhaust sounds with a turbocharged engine. Try explaining that to the engineers M division. But I like the Electronic 4wd system, 4matic. It's pretty good idea and I got that on my GL550. Complicated to understand for some, but amazing feature rather than an AWD that can add weight to the vehicle. RWD at full throttle, AWD at moments where there is less traction.
I actually like this car a lot. Living in the Midwest it would be the perfect daily driver. Good looking inside and out, luxurious, and fast as hell. One of the best Mercedes of late.
Toyota4Life "aggressive doesn't mean pretty" which is why I said it looks nice in addition to looking aggressive.... It is pretty ....looks are subjective and a lot of people like it.... Including me.
For me the perfect e63 would be the 4wd system and interior from this one, the looks of the old prefacelift one with the prefacelift 6.2 and the facelift tailights
It's not a pretty car, it's blunt and huge. The older models looked better and were more graceful with hits of aggression. e55 amg w211 was the last good looking E Class.
youngprankster94 audi is a piece of shut in the german world been doing thr same shit for decades havent changed shit even bmw is ahead of them there quattro barely works properly and guarantee thiss will smoke the rs6 and 7 without trying...lemme know when those shitty audis will ever make a rwd car piece of shit taxis
Mcgyver don't Save a hoe the RCF looks better to me. The RCF is mean looking and pretty. This thing doesn't look either one. As I said before the older model looks better. I do agree the interior is the best thing about the new E AMG and also its performance
Only proper petrol heads will admire this car :) To everyone else ,it just looks like another cool E-Class . It will get looks but nobody is gonna be standing next to it for more Instagram likes.
About time AWD became the norm for cars in this league - with the clever option to select 'RWD drift' mode for fun, of course. That's waaay too much power to deliver only to the rear wheels. Thing is, will Mercedes retrofit the S63 sedan/coupe with this technology? Very annoying that I can get an S63 coupe with magic body control but no AWD, or AWD but no magic body control. And no AWD option for right-hand drive either. Right now, why spend more money on the S Class when the E Class is not only better but cheaper too!
+Brad Fuller Exactly, they need to standardise all this for all countries. Us RHD countries get left behind every time. I have a 2016 CLS 63S, and it really needs AWD at this time of year. Put your foot down from a standing start, and the back is all over the road......... Hopefully all new AMGs will have AWD and magic body control AND the option to turn AWD off.
The wind noise and all that, isn't wheels or arches, it's the poor built quality that owners are reporting. Great design, apparently good materials, but everything starts to go bad after a bit. just a quick search on mbworld on the c63 section and you will see all types of noises and fails, from random safety features, turning off, to massive amounts of rattles because the car slept out of the garage for a couple of weeks, to random rattles from new, to rattles appearing now, in winter. There is every type of defect reported, related to the interior. Taxi drivers aren't happy too from what I have been hearing, reporting the rattles, parts falling off, some engine failings, but this is more hearsay.
+Cut de Pie Fails Got a new CLS 63S this year, and it's been a nightmare. Boot not opening, making strange noises when it does, rattling, buzzing in front doors when playing music, paint blemishes, dodgy wipers, strange noises underneath. Lots of vibrating and rattling in cabin since weather has got colder. Not good.
Had one......worst Benz Ive ever owned.Had no issues with it but for the price I was expecting much more refinement.Why put such a nice sound system in a car that your never going to appreciate at road speed as there is so much cabin noise. Mine was 2018,& not even a touch screen!! Unnecessary gimmicky screen controls duplicated about four times.......Why? suspension so damn harsh that rattles were happening in the doors.I only covered 8K and got sick of it. Back to a much better built older model.
I hear rumors lately, about new cars, german cars were included too, (unfortunately) that they are not reliable, not like the old ones and the engines are falling apart after about 100k kilometers. If it so, shame on you. If it's not true, we hope, then, congratulation with a job well done
As far as looks this new E63 and outgoing M5 always bored me especially compared to the M3/M6 or the C63/S63. Matter a fact I don't even like the new C63 neither. They just can't seem to get design right. Loved the RS6 and the V10 M5 though.
Namsu Geb the irony of that comment is obviously lost on you. What a total moron. I'm not a merc fanboy I'm a car fan. A car that can do what this one can with an engine like that = I'm a fan. Obviously you are a 14 year old without a driving license so not even sure why I'm bothering to reply!!
awesome car and awesome specs but it looks like sth is missing and that's to me is a low wing spoiler. it would make the car look aggressive and match with its power.
4:20 there's two little track pads (like the one on your phone) to the left and right of the steering wheel. The one on the left controls the left screen, and the one on the right controls the right screen. They are both touch sensitive and clickable (again, just like the one on your phone). That ease of use alone and the beautiful screens themselves are why i want this car over the M5 or RS7. I'm sure you're not spreading misinformation on purpose and i'm sure you didn't have long with the car. Mistakes are made but they should always be corrected. Feel like not enough journalists care to do so.
AMG is fucking brilliant!!! They give AWD to you for when you want/need it. THEN, they allow you to go full RWD for that pure sports car feel too. THIS IS THE MOST BADASS SEDAN EVER MADE!!! God I need one, like now please.
anybody noticed the loud road noise in the interior? A lot of auto reviewers have mentioned this generation e class has a lot of tyre noise. Seems to me that mercedes tried to save a few $ and cut out on the sound deadening
Rodney Jones I'm guessing the lowest figure is at the wheels on a hot day, at altitude, while the highest figure is at the crank at optimal conditions.
Can you pleeeeeeeeease start quoting torque in newton metres? Every time you say "pound foot" (especially minus the words "of torque") it really gets my goat.
Samie Sahim - I'm in the UK. Nm is fast becoming the standard here. Manufacturers websites quote Nm (even ford.co.uk - an American manufacturer). This makes it tougher to compare like for like when some people use lb-ft.
I agree that it'd be easier, but if we were to adopt Nm for torque we would have to start measuring power in kW as it wouldn't make sense to measure torque in a metric system but carry on using an imperial measurement for power, since in this country (and in the US for that matter) the imperial system is what we use for everything (I mean we even measure road speed in miles per hour) I believe Ford advertise torque figs in Nm either as a generalisation for their euro-spec cars or they could just be trying to show off a larger number for marketing (last one is highly unlikely, but hey, businesses are tricky to read haha)
Samie Sahim - Nah, we've got the metric horsepower (otherwise known as PS). Not 100% sure who uses kWh but I think Australia & South Africa do. No European countries do... they've all adopted PS which is almost identical to the imperial horse power. We just need to stop being awkward in the UK :p
As an AMG fan, overall I’m disappointed especially if one is considering parting with over $280K Australian dollars. There is increased cabin noise which has resulted from poor insulation as a trade-off to reduce fuel consumption. Similar complaint to the new C 63 S AMG, with increased noise coming from the wheels.The two 12.3’’ display screens side by side may look amazing, but you may need to attend a 7 day training course just to be able to use everything. The re-design of the seats looks ugly with the black material running through the sides & back rests. The front star grill & lower front bumper bar could have been designed better; the use of black plastic in the grill area for air flow makes the whole appearance look ugly & cheap. The 4-matic still needs some refining compared to the current 991.2 911 Turbo all wheel drive. Also, in comfort mode, the car does not absorb bumps in the road surface very well, making it a much firmer ride.If you’re thinking of buying one & absolutely abusing the f... out of it & trading it in after a few years, then go for it. If you’re looking at keeping the car for the next 10 years, the $280K Australian dollars with all the above mentioned is a big compensation to make.
you are wrong about the competition not being as powerful as the E63s. At least from Audi. The RS7/RS6 performance has 605 hp although the Merc has an advantage in the torque department :)
James R. Astor from Austria Only in LHD. So not in the UK. I have a 2016 CLS 63S,and it is rear wheel drive. In the US it is 4matic only. In the Uk 4 magic has not been available, or in any RHD country.
Almost all of the AMG cars have had 4matic. S class, GLC, GLE, GLS, CLS, E, G, and CLA. In most countries, the only ones that weren't 4matic were the GTS and the C class
James R. Astor from Austria actually only European models of the E63 amg had 4matic but not overseas models but i might be wrong, and this thing is... literally mercs motto "The Best or Nothing"
2:32 That feature is on my A6 -16 as well, it uses the regenerating discs when coasting. Though what I don't understand is why it declutches it and makes the engine idle, it'll just burn fuel when you can make the wheels run the engine thus no fuel burning what so ever. Sure, at very high speeds the speed will make up the distance for the amount of fuel burned, but is it otherwise? Okey if the engine disconnected the time belt that's connected to the battery and only let the regenerating discs power the battery at that very moment but Audi doesn't do that, BMW do though. Anyone has an explanation to that?
For MB fans this a is a no brainer, looks great, lots of power and extraordinary cabin luxury - Take it form BMW fan. I don´t fancy Mercedes and its not because of their cars, but because what lies behind the Brand statement. In any case the latest generation of Sport models by MB are great looking - all their Concept efforts has paid off very well indeed. This new power train +4 Matic must give AUDI and BMW a few things to think about for next generations.
What is the point of an 150K € car or maybe more if the fuel consumption is something that manufacturers have to deal with and costumers to be concerned about ???
I was watching not paying too much attention and thought this was the C Class AMG until almost the end of the video. Like how fucking lazy is Mercedes with their design?
***** Then Audi will copy that and plaster it all over their range. I seriously have trouble telling audis and mercedes cars apart. Ok the SUVs from BMW as well, but not their sedans or coupes.
Downsizing ahoy. I guess the 4.0L V8 AMG that debuted in the AMG GT will be replacing all the 5.5L V8's in other models. Few more horses at the cost of some torque (E63S model from 900 to 850 NM).
Kaisuke971 it's also 3.4 to 60, but AMG as well as Porsche and Audi, are known for underestimating their 0-60 times. An SLS, a standard one and not a black series, was tested at 3.2/3.3. This thing could be a 3.0/3.1. It's quick, but it doesn't have the highest top speed, as it is a family saloon after all
These are expensive playthings. What would real world long-distance drivers buy from Mercedes? The AWD helps deal with some types of hazardous road conditions. It is interesting to see our host demonstrate his exceptional driving skills and coordination...but that's not me.
The front in particular looks hideous, it looks slow and tired with thoose lights especially compsring to the old gen, they went from a good and agressive looking car to a dull and conservative design, maybe they are trying to steal the "old" buyers from mercedes.
people said these mercedes sound good they do but heard a couple in real life and boy was i upset it was so low i could barely hear it. dissapointing, turbos ruined v8s not performance wise but its character they are not loud at all
This thing is always on the top 3 of my wish list. I fear after working hard and getting one, I'd spend more on the repairs :( Why are cars like this so PITA to maintain...
Alot of road and wind noise? that's total bs and completely out of it for someone like me. Have never been so crazed about excessive power and speed so this is clearly not for me even if I had so much money to throw away.
