Mercedes C 300 e PHEV Team Test | Fifth Gear 

This reminds me of old top gear where the producer give Jeremy and the gang tasks to complete..

I also think those 4 miles do not reflect anywhere near a real world drive.

That test was about as far away from real world driving as is possible to get, pretty stupid.

@@kristoffer3000 tbh I think they're doing their best already (to promote the car?) Because that thing there is seriously obsolete and overpriced

Doing a real world just involves you driving the car in your daily routine without any fancy acellaration and crazy breaking. Driving four miles to come up with a number is like asking to an election poll on country with 60 million population and going to a small town and asking 20 people for their vote. Not credible at all but entertaining.

Came to say this

What's annoying is, the C300d AMG Line Premium Plus comes with the nicer 19" wheels, but the more expensive C300e AMG Line Premium Plus comes with those really unappealing 18s. I spoke to MB about it and they said that it was to get the emissions down although I don't buy that. The same car specced in Germany has those 19s and I'd you run a CLA250e AMG Line Premium Plus, you get the 19" wheels. Bizarre!

Hex is awesome, can't wait for pulsechain and Pulsex

has been reaccomodated. Flat space compared to its predecessor.

A little more initial impact with a hybrid versus a conventional ICE, but the ~5-6x efficiency of the electric side of the powertrain earns that back for anyone who drives their car any reasonable amount of miles.

It would, but shortly it comes cleaner than just a petrol car. It takes 100kg CO2 to produce every 1 kWh of battery. You do the math ;)

choose. is it a rare or a popular SUV?

@@SteliosE92 the diesel plug-in hybrid are only manufactured by Mercedes’s currently so it’s rare

@@ts6070 so its not popular? it can be one of two things. not both

Hybrid without a plug is a missed opportunity to be more eco-friendly. It deprives you from the opportunity to charge the battery from e.g. your solar panels. How on earth can your ice do that in a less polluting way? It can *not*. Self charging is using petrol, it does not come for free. If however you do not want to use the plug to charge, the Mercedes (and lots of other plug-in hybrids) will offer you the option of self-charging also. So what's the point of a hybrid without plug-in?

@@jaaput because electricity is too expensive

@@jaaput are you from India?

@@jaaput money. It's a money world. And time is money. Instead of charging every night with a plug-in (otherwise it uses more fuel more emission to propel the extra weight for the PHEV system pointless imo), just get any full EV and done with tailpipe emission, care less for ever increasing fuel prices, no more oil change (again time is money less pollution as well dealing with used engine oil), no more timing belt replacement whatsoever (long term ownership), less wear on brake pads and rotors (since mostly regen brake, again save time save money from replacing the pads & rotors), and not to mention instant torque instant acceleration from the get go.

Oh sorry guys I mean EV is the best solution. Tight on budget, get the cheapest hybrid on market and save up for an EV Any EV is still better (efficient & practical, your running cost) than any cash grab plug-in they are way overcharge taking advantage of people's new tech new change phobia

And the new C63 is a load of crap now as well

I thought it was just me

I'm actually with Jimmy. He's alright to me.

@@farishanafiah8461 unlucky

No replacement for Tiff.

He comes across as a bit artificial

@@mykehyslop198 He’s the legend. His paring with Jason is just unbeatable. Not forgetting Jonny Smith & Tom Ford.

What do you mean😂. They gave plenty of info

@@Adamlllllllllllljjjljljjjjj positives …… it was entertaining

What was sensational about it?

@@procatprocat9647 Vicky's outfit? 😅😅 That's the best I can say about this episode.. well beside she's one of the best as usual 👍👍😊

@@philipc239 so you're a pervert. Congratulations on your admission of guilt.

That'll be enough for a lot of people's commute to work

It can get almost everyone to work and back. Not many people need the range of a tesla, and on the rare long trip the ice is available. Hopefully you understand now 🤣

Well unless your journey exceeds that you never have to put fuel in just charge it at home. It's not rocket science

@@Birmingham_racing Leedstown certainly isn't confused by rocket science. He's confused by tying his shoelaces, his TV remote, remembering to breathe..... 🤣

Because 70% of journeys are less that 30 miles you kretin

So shoddy build quality, shockingly poor interior materials and fit, as well as average handling on a reasonably demanding road are not to be taken in to account also!?🤔 Tesla model 3 or Y are " One trick ponies" at best... Outside of there straight line performance, a hybrid or ice car for the present at least, are as economical to run... Plus the exorbitant pricing for the Models 3 and Y. For them to be a viable alternative to ice or hybrids, Tesla need to reduce the 3 or Y by at least £15k per version... Any vehicle which is only on a par with a 30 yr old Renault 5 for interior quality, has no right to be priced at BMW 340i/440i, Audi S4, AMG C43 levels... Period

@@MrLg55555 you mean Tesla the safest car on the road. That is my priority 2nd the company doing the most to help solve climate change. cars that get better over time with over the air software updates, hold there value the best, less maintenance, more reliable. Can do car to house connection to power your home in a blackout and will soon be able to selfdrive safer than a human can. Proven by statistics. Possible robot taxis turning your car into an asset with FSD. Drive you to work then drive itself home so you can car share with your wife eliminating the need for a second car And so much more you don't any idea. For the rest of your argument this has all been debunked in recent years and prices are coming down fast. The facts you would recommend a less safe car to anyone you are literally indirectly killing people by swaying there minds to an alternative to a tesla

@@oumuamua1963, when I have a smidgen more time on my hands, I will reply to your points raised and lay to waste yor point re Tesla pricing.
