Flushed door handles - looks nice, totally unnecessary. Aero gain is minimal, could go wrong. And will, eventually. Electro powered vents - although looks over-engineered, it actually make sense. They can auto adjust for optimal airflow, and you can still adjust them manually if you want to. Best of both worlds. Dash camera - probably good as a security feature when the car is locked/breached. Otherwise just a gimmick and a spy tool for the paranoid. :) As always, great review Thomas and Autogefühl!

You can skip songs from the steering wheel so long as the central display is showing the Audio screen. The buttons will control whatever you choose to display there.

@SDav21 you're right, but that's way too much faff. You have to leave the sat nav or whichever screen, navigate to the audio, highlight the next and click on it. All this with the capacitive little button. And then navigate back all the way to your sat nav, losing it while trying to skip a song. Even trickier to go back into it if using Android Auto/Car Play. The only good way to skip songs is using the middle touch pad next to the seat. Every other manufacturer have dedicated buttons on the wheels..

@SDav21 ah I see, thought you meant having the audio in central display, my bad. I rarely use the audio in driver display tbh as I prefer having other information. But you're right that you can have the audio and skip from there simply going up or down on the wheel. My pet peeve with that is you need to display and control an audio screen somewhere and can't directly control the audio skip (imagine you had to open the audio just to change volume). For example, if you could have the volume scroll wheel (ignoring they're going with capacitive buttons going forward..) click left and right, just like how a computer mouse wheel sometimes can. Or, if you could change some the the button for others, eg the answer/hang up calls to be skip songs instead. Going one step forward, have the icons on the wheel be small displays, and they can change depending on how you customise your settings, which are saved on your profile in the car. I never use the voice control or favourite buttons for example, would be nice to have something I actually use.

6:55 - the sunroof controls are a perfect example of something that didn't need to be capacitive and should have remained a physical toggle.

Nice job! Beautiful car

These new Mercedes are nice, but I’ll be keeping my 2017 CLS 550 as my daily driver. One of the best big body styles ever from Benz.. along with the S coupe and GT 4 door.

Yes, S-Class seems all about being driven now, that's the main upgrade over the E. I do like the 10º rear steering, but shorter cars need that less, or less of it. I guess the Estate doesn't get it because wagon shoppers like myself just want to bit big stuff in the back. I personally care more about space between the wheel cases than total volume. Oddly, Renault Talisman seems widest in the back.

Another great video! How is the Superscreen in bright sunlight? It seems like it could be blinding.

@autogefuehl Great review, great car. Digital air vents are great for driver profiles, and maybe there are (or will be) optimized presets for internal airflow in the car depending on the amount of passengers, where they sit and so on.

I think this car have too many gimmicks, which frustasted me a little bit. Companies are making basic functions become more difficult.

A Lexus ES or a Toyota Camry is smaller than the new E class, but sitting in the back seat is much more comfortable. Legroom, knee room, headroom, like you're in an S class. It is unfortunate that the Germans stubbornly, as if by agreement, make the back row unsuitable for the owner, this also applies to the BMW 5 and the Audi A6.
