E-Class (W214) [Official] New Mercedes-Benz E-Class (W214)

I far prefer the classic grill. It has some depth to it. The sport grill is too flat.

That can't be a Norwegian parking lot, because where are the BEV chargers? Are they invisible as well?

There are not chargers in all parking lots. But all cars are grey....

I heard that BMW once developed an 1.6 turbo BMW 520i F10 exclusively for the Greek market because engines with displacement above 1929 cm³ are heavily taxed.

That is correct.

Anything registered up to 2010 is taxed based on displacement. Newer cars are taxed based on CO2 emissions. Also, anything up to 10 years old and over 1929 cc of displacement is subject to a luxury tax, which even though I don't remember how much it is, I do remember I was not a fan of paying, when my S60 was newer.

Now, this idiot taxes a car of 1984 cc and another of 2171 cc. It doesn't make sense, unless you are a complete idiot.

Looks wonderful as expected!

I don't know if it was specific to the Greek market, but the 1.6 N20B16 was used in the F25 (second gen) X3 as well as the F10.

Türkiye market

The standard dash without the Superscreen looks so much nicer with that trim on the passenger side. I would get some nice wood, instead of this starburst dash trim.

Grey nappa leather seats also shown.

Comparison with an AMG line, tonka nappa leather and Superscreen

Some expected pricing details:

Starting price probably from approx. 60,000 – 63,000 EUR
Mercedes does not yet provide any information on prices, but it is likely to be significantly more expensive. Currently, even a W206 is more expensive than an E-Class sedan of the W213 generation, depending on the engine.

If you compare the prices of the old GLC SUV (X253), GLC 200 4matic (48.100 EUR) compared to the E 200 (W213) for 51.500 EUR and transfer the Delta based on the new GLC 200 4matic (X254) 59.800 EUR, the new E-Class W214 Sedan with the extended standard equipment and the package logic as the E 200 W214 will cost from around 63.200 EUR. The gap to the EQE 300 with 66,400 euros is then no longer large. If you calculate the delta from the C 200 (W205) to the E 200 (W213), you get a surcharge of 10,000 EUR. Based on the current C 200 W206, you would end up with just over 60,000 EUR.

Due to the economic situation, a starting price of EUR 60,000 is probably more realistic. This would then be around 8,500 EUR above the W213.

No wood on the doors, especially the rear ones make them look so plain and not expensive, especially when comparing to previous generation's door panels which were so beautifully designed.

these are just C-Class doors

 

[MichiB]

Everywhere this unspeakable lighting, instead of beautiful wood. The bling-bling things and the whole multimedia fuss has come to the fore too much. Man, this is still about a car that wants to be DRIVEN!

AGREE !!! But, unfortunately, even 213 has a great steering, a great transmission, great (but fragile) engines, and a great air supension.
The BIG PROBLEM is, not liking to sit and stare on these boring displays and instruments, these cheapish door panels and the lack of nice haptic switches.
Maybe I will hide myself in a cloister for a while, save money, come back and get a cayenne - just because of the interior

It’s an aweful trend. Very few cars have inlays on rear door cards

 

[klier]

The price of electrification.

What is electric on an E200 or E220d?

It's the price of not giving a f#ck anymore. Counts for BMW too. They are done spending billions on weight savings when it is pointless for the BEV gen.....

......but on a more serious note, it's probably what you get when you make an all new car on an old platform. Same will happen with the new 5er.

Yes it is becoming more common nowadays that cars are been launched with basic rear door cards with hardly any trim strips.

The Golf 6 GTI had soft touch materials on the door tops and black trim inlays and looked like a BMW or Audi in the back seat.

The Golf 8 GTI has hard plastic on the door tops and no trim strips and passengers feel they are in the backseat of a Toyota Yaris.

The new W214 looks awesome on the road live

I posted this before, but even the Bentley Flying Spur makes you pay extra if you want trim on the rear doors:

Another video with E CLASS AMG trim on the road, and with glowing grill.

No offense, that's a very confusing taxation system. And apologies for steering off topic, but who's the idiot you're talking about?

I don't think that's the same thing; I believe Bentley chose to offer trim as an optional feature on the rear doors for aesthetic reasons and to allow their customers to personalize their vehicles to an even greater extent, reflecting their commitment to truly bespoke luxury vehicles. Even without trim on the doors, the materials are still top-notch on the Bentley. On the other hand, Mercedes-Benz is clearly cheapening out with excessive plastic and part-sharing.

This is the New 7 no wood either ?


Seems like a new market trend ans remember the 7 is a class above and that inside of the door looks pretty bland.
