Calvin buddy i agree about not being happy that the combustion engine is fading away. ok so electric motors are more powerful but its not all about that, its about the ability to tune them/rebuild them/hear them, those cars have character and soul, could you really imagine modding an electric car? your 1st mod could be...... a loud exhaust.........oh wait no it wont a dump valve............oh wait no it wont an induction kit.........oh wait no it wont a ceramic coated turbo............oh wait no it wont the future looks boring guys so enjoy your rides whilst you can

Calvins hitting 200K by this year 🥶🍬

I had one of these for 2 years, great car. You won't get more than 9 miles on a full charge in the winter, but in the summer I was getting 900+ miles on a full tank of petrol, and easily 45-50mpg on long runs. Only sold it because I had 2 big dogs and needed something bigger. Electrification is the future, accept it, engage in it, and once they're good enough that everyone goes on to them, we can be left to enjoy our C63s, E55s, M5s, etc as toys without any guilt.

Cal you should start a podcast, but with subscribers. some meaningful history would come up. if not still lotz of love you are the realist..... Keep it real. Restecp

I've got a 2016 one of these. They go like stink and they're pretty quiet on the petrol engine even in Sport+. the electric motor is basically used for launching from standing. Plus the PHEV means no road tax. Plus the 200kg battery helps keep the power down.

My car is a GLC350e. Basically the same powerfrain but with a bigger e-motor. 327hp stock but I chipped it to stage 1. It now has 750nm and 400! Hp. Smokes a glc43 off the line

Gotta say, editing was absolutely on point on this video. Keep it up man!

You would’ve got a faster acceleration time had you done your test with 100% fully charged battery

Love the 20-70s ! Done 6.2 In my remapped leon 184tdi (220bhp)

Looks a nice car Calv ideal for a family 👍

This C350e is basically going to be the new generation C63...4 cylinder AMG car to be announced... no more V8

Honestly sounded like u had birds as your engine waiting to fly u away lol tweet tweet lol😜🔥🔥🔥🤩👍✌️

I have a c350e if you charge the battery and us the sport+ it’s pretty lively, the revs drop to zero when the car is driving solely on battery. The gearbox in anything but sport+ is an embarrassment

I have heard that the electric vehicles still uses some diesel when they are being charged. Dont know of its true though.

Made me giggle that you were a bit upset with how good the car drove. Also on a side issue, what's happening with your m3 touring project.

I have been waiting for a review on one of these .

Calv keep up the briliant videos

Another nice hat mate - where did you get it? Great vid - the sign of things to come unfortunately

Please buy a BMW 1M or a 135i coupe would love to see a video on one of these 😍

Why is it called a 350 when it’s a 2 litre petrol engine

the b roll shots are pretty (fire emoji) ngl. also love the #calvspec aspect

I just had the E300 DE as a loan car.. the electric range is shite if you are a petrol head.. but pretty cool gliding around on the electric - stealth mode! The diesel hybrid has plenty of torque and is quite quick for a boat!

The best part of loving cars hooning down a road will be the noise, whether it's a V8, V12, turbo's or a supercharger whine... everything is about the noise it makes. Granted you can not get away from how quick these cars are now getting, but I will have a V8 all day & everyday just for the sound alone.

Test drove the new facelift 545e and it’s actually the perfect hybrid. Comfy, economical, plenty of power + more, can’t feel the extra weight and drives amazing. Would’ve gone for one but couldn’t find a top spec model in stock so went for 530d 🤷🏽‍♂️

Noise is essential calv... Especially AMG noise! 🤣

so weird that I just bought one of these and you made a video the week after, as much as it does lack soul, the way it launches on dry warm day is insane, must be low 5s high fours

14:30 Thank god you beat the KIA 🤣

It's fairly quick for what it is, but I think luxury is more what it's about. It's a rep mobile at the end of the day.

Usual Calvin low fuel light on the dashboards ha ha 😂

5:08 Exactly the same for me mate, I've got the GLA 180 and my wings have more dirt on them then the rest of the car lol.

In the boot is the HV(High Voltage) Battery and the electric motor is sandwiched between the petrol motor and the gearbox. Also the regenerative braking is done through the electric motor itself which is why brake discs and pads last longer and if you only drive round town the brakes look rusty because they aren't getting used at slow speeds/light braking ;)

Apparently the next gen c63 will have the same setup

I’m a petrol head and I’ve just bought a Yaris hybrid 😭 I’m lucky though I have a mk2 escort to burn through some petrol at a alarming rate 😎

The dirt could be due to silicone based tyre shine. Over spray can go onto the wings , which attracts dirt. Go for a tyer shine that doesn't contain silicone.

🇿🇦 #Onit!!! Calvin this is suitable, you are a hybrid of a human lol

i wonder if there's any tuning capability? might make for a proper quick car with a few mods!

Classy not boring.

Funnily enough, I drove a late 2015 e300 bluetec hybrid today, it was surprisingly good although brakes were a bit shit, maybe just new pads needed tho

Where do you store all these cars I wish you would do a car collection video

Cal, My RX8 fun/weekend car gets 8MPG on 99 octane and I'd have it no other way. Yes, admittedly I have an SUV for the school runs and shopping and so on so forth, but God forbid a world where we can't red-line at 9k RPM and face that consequence we already pay through the nose on tax via the petrol station.

Seen your podcast wit James English, up the Spurs firm

Calv Calv calv Calv. Petrol head Gonna be just car head this rate soon.

Don't forget your tripod alv!!!

Nothing like a sales rep car it’s not bland looking I’m thinking you’ve got it confused with a base Focus or Mondeo your sad because we love V8s but that’s still a very pretty car

Heard horror stories about those cars...if you want a reliable hybrid you go Lexus

Bit of a random question, are the catalytic converters on these at risk from thieves like we see with the Prius?

When you're looking through your car list in Gran Turismo 2 and realise your grandad's car has the same shove as a "gentleman's agreement" R34 or any JDM!

Imho the C350e actually has quite a lot of character and especially in Sport+ I wouldn't call it soulless at all. The handling on a back roads is also really good, although the C63s W205 is slightly better in that regard.

Calvin? In a hybrid. Blasphemy!! Loool

I think your are right it is all going that way I'm also a petrol head I think in some way electric cars may push up the price of older sports cars due to all you said about the soulless experience sound feel noise smell. That's my take but let's see. Iv got mine and I'm keeping it 🤫

First! Keep up the great work man

I have a c class 220d . I like it 😲😃

the reason the wing appears more dirty is because the heat of the engine has dried the wing. the door is just as dirty but whilst wet doesnt show as much. Science..

Watch it with the sound down and it's Nacho off of Better Call Saul.

The golf gte is very quick 0 to 62 in roughly 7 sec.

Are the wings plastic? Maybe why they attract more dirt Calv

Do you have to charge the electric motor in order to drive it or can you just drive it with the petrol engine

@CalvinsCarDiary

You can just drive it with the petrol engine.

Hybrids should offer a performance advantage over gas in the form of torque filling. No petrol engine can provide maximum power from idle revs but electricity can. This is more important as modern engines rely on laggy turbo chargers. If power delivery is instant and predictable then worth hybrids are worth considering.
