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

[fan_of_642]

In real life the exterior is great, can even live with the black stuff. Absolutely no relation to S and C, so boring times are gone, let's applause !!!
Still very nervous about these f#cking displays and that awful steering wheel.
I will come back for MOPF, so I'll stay patient.

Looks great in real.life pics posted previous page.

The black grill outline is growing on the car..

The W211 was the prettiest E ever and the W124 is the most revered and legendary, IMO.

I think also the smallest cabin space for a modern E (E210 and beyond).

That era of Benz had a tank like thunk of the doors and gave it a feeling of solidness that the new aluminum ones just don’t have. The quality was a bit lacking and they are become a little rusty now but overall a very solid lineup

Looks like this E-class is a winner from a design point of view.

This photo looks ridiculously good.

Love it. That’s what a proper E-Class front-end ought to look like. Star on the hood FTW.

Proportions are spot on.

Imagine if the interior camera could capture people's faces before a crash and livestream it to the Mercedes-Benz website.

there's a chrome strip at the rear

I know there is probably a good reason for it, but this seems like a real shame to me.

Edit : Just realised this is one of the reasons I prefer the classic grille, much better.

Yes, one of the very few dissonants in it's design.

I am so confused. They're the same.

They are. For me it's a dissonant on the exclusive line as well. Because of the dark colour in the picture shown, it isn't as obvious, but on a white exclusive line (star on the bonnet) one can see it more clearly and it just looks bad. Come to think of it, on the W214 the star on the bonnet is placed rather far back towards the windscreen. That's one part of design, that is much better solved with W223/S class. The star stands far in front of you, very close to the upper part of the grille.

A plastic nose cone is usually dictated by pedestrian safety regulation and collision cost-cutting imperatives for the customer (repairs and insurance).

I have never owned a MB, however this E class execution is really nice. It will be interesting to see how it sizes-up against the new 5er, so far it looks to be better resolved.

 

[Jacke]

Love the E-Class,but cant help and think that if you would type in an AI app Mercedes the back of the car would come up

I can't wait for someone to retrofit a V8 into the car! I hope that Mercedes have left a few token mounting points.
