@TurtleSauceGaming 2 года назад

Glad someone agrees. Ford fusion has these and it's tough to hit anything while driving. Part of why I'm against touchscreens for all functions. I should be able to adjust basic functionality (Radio, climate, wipers, and lights) with physical buttons that can be easily felt while driving. ESPECIALLY wipers and lights. Touchscreen is cool, but needs button backups for critical functions, or perhaps a backup switch similar to the ford fusion (4 way pad with button in center and in dash control, maybe for less critical like radio and climate, allowing you to adjust volume and temp without excess buttons feeling cluttered, since the smooth touch screen feel seems to be the design of the day). I will say touch screens are cool initially, but having them everywhere sounds like a curse. For example, typing on a phone sucks compared to a proper keyboard, as you can feel individual buttons and thus I can touch type at 104 wpm, vs maybe 60 with swiping and it's inaccurate predictive text. It works for what it needs, but Senior year of highschool we were given ipads to do assignments on and writing papers that way was pure hell.

@ianpolo5673 2 года назад

Wow! Finally get to see the E-Class category for the EQ Mercedes! Surprised though it is a fastback design, the entire rear hatch doesn't open up like the EQS, that's definitely affects the loading access due to the smaller opening if compare to the entire hatch opening design. Design-wise, front half looks quite identical to the EQS but rear half onwards, the design looks squished, especially the rear quarter glass and the rear overhang. Somehow its front nose looks sharper and more attractive than EQS. It doesn't look as cohesive or as smooth flowing as the EQS overall due to the "squished" rear half design. But anyhow, still a great looking car!

Great video Thomas! And the point at 5:04 is quite correct..I am from India and tbh here VW/skoda isn't as successful as in Europe, so they had this new India 2.0 project where they have launched a compact SUV (under both skoda and VW) and have included some design elements for the 'Indian taste' yet they still have that 'German' minimalistic look to it and I like it that way.

@Ramkumar-cn7cx 2 года назад

@@autogefuehl The point here is Thomas exclusively claiming bragging rights on looks of a nicer automobiles from US and European people and the bland looking ones are for Chinese and Asians which are a bit inferior in its looks. The comment is just completely nonsense and cheap especially from someone like Thomas who doesn't know to find his neutrality. I can understand he is biased on VW and Audi designs and claiming it is designed to suit more to Chinese is really absurd and idiotic. First of all clean looking and the models without too many feature lines like this one came first in Bentleys and Aston Martins. To some extent also the Rolls-Royces. So the more luxurious it claims, the lesser dramatic, seamless and flowing it becomes. I don't know a person like Thomas who has reviewed tons of cars can't understand this basic thing. Okay may be it is because of his racial stereotypical blood that does the talking here. And I hope Thomas reads this and gets a strong message for comments like this regarding looks and taste.

@Ramkumar-cn7cx 2 года назад

@@aidan7936 lol the whole perspective of targeting a country's customer taste is okay but beyond that the looks and how hideous the taste of one whole country is a stereotypical view. Looks and taste are 'geschmacksache' and someone associating it with a whole country is stereotypical. You can argue about Mercedes and it's cars and you can even defend Thomas' view. But being stereotypical on a country's taste is just bad. Having lived in Europe for a decade I can endlessly quote stereotypical views on Europeans and Germans. But Thomas would just be able to shrug on such comments without smiling at them. Because he knows it is wrong and stereotypical and no one likes it. It's the same of Thomas' comments on this regarding taste and preferences.

@Oklm23 2 года назад

@@Ramkumar-cn7cx It’s not stereotypical it’s the truth, Mercedes is targeting the Chinese market with this product and moving away from their traditional design language. They literally just opened a design center in China and you’re gonna tell us this isn’t a design they researched to appeal to Chinese customers? There’s nothing wrong with it or with what Thomas said, he’s only giving his opinion and he knows that’s subjective. But it’s undeniable that Mercedes is targeting the Chinese market with this product.

@Ramkumar-cn7cx 2 года назад

@@Oklm23 no what you are saying is completely different. I didn't mean to object your opinion. It could be suit some markets. But what Thomas meant was completely different if it could be seen with magnifying lens. And it has to be because he is an influencer on RU-vid and he has to hold his neutrality. Being stereotypical on tastes is to be forbidden. You can think about it. I can say Germans or Europeans have zero taste on colors or they like only grey and black or dull uninteresting colors. Then I would see some reactions from Europeans. Of course I would say that's my opinion on Europeans but would that go well with such people ? Question mark. Yes it's wrong calling out people on tastes. What market MB prefers is a different topic. And am not even entering into it. I hope you understand the difference. If not better to refrain from spamming the thread.

@diggleboy 2 года назад

I like the EQS a lot from Mercedes. It looks unlike anything we've seen out there from other manufacturers. Because of the bow shaped roofline, it is design over function for the rear passengers, especially in the EQE. I prefer a ground up EV like the EQS & EQE instead of using a regular ICE platform and converting it for the EV market. It makes the vehicle more efficient and better performing as an EV platform. Fun fact is Mercedes engineers contributed a lot of design input into Tesla's model S sedan and it's cool to see some of it returned back into the EQS and EQE with the annoying electromechanical door handles. Another great review Thomas.

@user-yn5sk5ru5g 2 года назад

The compromises are even worse on Teslas though... At least this has far better quality control and a normal steering wheel.

@unknown1859 2 года назад

The Mercedes Benz in Australia is insanely popular among the Chinese customers. In fact, most of the international students from China drives Mercedes-Benz and absolutely loves the brand.

For half of the price of Mercedes you can get Japanese cars and Korean cars that 10x better and more reliable.

I think the design isn't that much about appeal to the Western markets, but about the ultimate aerodynamics, especially low resistance. The teardrop shape is great for that. (and other manufacturers do this too) To the rear seating postion: I think this is why there's a cutout in the battery on the taycan and the polestar 2. It's a strange feeling in most electric cars.

I would have thought Mercedes' own F700 concept from 2007 could have been carried over nearly wholesale and would have made a very convincing basis for an electric look.

I quite like the styling. The rather short tail looks interesting, and the interior looks very flash, though maybe too flash. Externally it looks more like an older Audi than a Mercedes though.

Think about it...Your 75" TV costs...1500 Euro? MB wants 8500 for 2 small screens...& when watching video of the EQS the map was lagging/juddering during turns...Is this really the best you can do MB? Off cource its progress compared to the Becker navigation system, but honestly? Wasnt there something about beeing best or dont do it?

I don’t think they can even really ship this slow thing now since mid to low end chips are the ones with the biggest shortage. Lol.

Its called innovation. If it was just 2 small screens every car would have iy because its clearly superior in terms of design.

@ChipMIK 2 года назад

@@flexible436 What marketing departement pays you? Do you know anything about electronics or just trying to? BTW almost any car for such screens these days, its just a matter of paying 50 or 300 pr. screen...BTW It was innovative back in 2012 when Tesla put such a screen in a Model S, back when MB was om the Becker units & Minecraft graphics levels.

@flexible436 2 года назад

@@ChipMIK it's not just the screens but also how to incorporate them into the car. It screams luxury and is clearly an improvement on the 'tablet' dashboards you see in every other car. 8 thousand euro's is obviously too much but anything new has its costs for the first buyers.

@ChipMIK 2 года назад

@@flexible436 You mean like model S or many others. Sorry but you talk generic nonsense. Do you really think its hard to make integrate a nav-system & some LED-colorstrips...Truth: Nope...But a lot of you like to get fooled....Just like the specs that is beaten for 1/3 of the price. Adios MB.

@tonyc3995 2 года назад

German design and build quality etc is why the cars are so desirable in the first place. Seems odd to design a car that goes against that, without the MB badge you wouldn't know they built it. Surely more headroom can be designed for rear seat passengers too. Great video as usual Thomas.

@Beatsmith2005 2 года назад

Where is the front passenger airbag... or does it just show a graphic of a soft airbag as you slam your face into the lovely retina display?

@JohnWick-bt8mv 2 года назад

My issue with the design is the front end, there's defo room to improve, look at audis etron gt, porsche taycan and even teslas which are all miles better looking. Though I think overall the exterior design could be improved massively

@idontwantacallsign 2 года назад

Well i don't agree. It's much better looking than the Tesla's, and much more elegant than Audi and Porsche e-cars

Will they make EQC like c class next ? Merc do the best ambient light

@TheLastMoccasin 2 года назад

Awesome video as always!!! Tesla puts the HEPA filter up front too and somehow they still managed to get a Frunk up there. Also, the trunk is super small but I guess those buying this car don't really care about luggage space that much. I am sure they will sell every vehicle they can make. Has Mercedes disclosed how many per year they will make?

@lennyvalentin6485 2 года назад

Hopefully they'll make enough of them so the EU doesn't ding them for exceeding their fleet-wide CO2 emissions allowance... :P So far it doesn't appear that Mercedes has been that successful in the EV space, their first one, which one was that, EQC? I think I've seen ONE of those driving around in my city. Of course, this car is kind of lame, it's not very efficient, and has a very slow charging speed for a premium car. Then again, Merc isn't that popular a brand compared to other German premium brands over here; of the Germans I mostly see Audi and BMWs around town. A few Mercs, a few Porsches, but neither are particularly common. And, nearly all of them gassers, by the way. A couple years ago all the richie richs were buying Tesla Model S left and right, I saw one or two of them parked on every street in the better part of the town, but these days the richies have sold their Teslas and gone back to gassers by and large. I see a few Taycans actually, a few Teslas (no Plaid version spotted yet), not really any E-trons, and only a couple BMW i3s. Those mostly seem to be the wife's car by the way, sadly...

@ziggs123 2 года назад

Probably not that much, since Daimler is burning cash with every EV they produce.

@racekar80 2 года назад

I think the melted soap bar shape for aero is going to be more standardized for EV’s since high speed aero is so important for range. I don’t love it but understand the concept. I much prefer the Audi GT vs the Porsche tycan design, I will give up some range for a stylish car.

@azpace 2 года назад

buttons should be physical for the safety matter. Are they ever testing the user interface? Over 500km range is good tho.

@shakesnbake 2 года назад

I fear that the EQ line is reminding me of the old photocopier shrunken/enlarged joke we used to hear back in the day about Audi's BMW's and Mercs 😂 It looks too similar to the EQS. Need to see them in the flesh but the fastback design doesn't look premium like an A7 or GT63 etc. Would be nice if they made an EQE wagon :)

@Twin.motors 2 года назад

Excellent review Thomas, like every single time. Also I really feel bad for Mercedes, not sure what they're doing with all the terrible design and functionality mistakes.

@HeadPack 2 года назад

Among the German premium brands, Mercedes seems to be the furthest ahead in understanding how that power train should reflect upon the design. This model would however make even more sense as a station wagon. More headroom in the rear, and a more practical boot.

It’s going to take a while for my mind to associate this silhouette with a luxury and not an economy car. It’s simply not sexy in the slightest.

@bulisabahay57 2 года назад

I loved the styling of the concept car and was already reaching for my checkbook. Though it is reminiscent of the original CLS, this iteration badly disappoints. The hyperscreen, however, is a game changer but again, it's a missed opportunity for full across the dash integrated instrumentation which would have been more exciting and useful. Overall it's not enough to switch my choice from the Tesla model S, particularly with the Plaid.
