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.

I really think they nailed the futuristic design, personally it´s not for my taste, but I can totally understand the reason why it exists and I hope it is succesful.

The piano black on the front grill will get so much stone chips

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!

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.

He did before with Mercedes (and other brands) engineers in the car while driving. This is why he is my favorite reviewer despite his admiration for Tesla which I don't share.

I actually laughed out loud at "screen fights"

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.

I love the lines! I would like to receive further information on this model EQE for the US, thanks

I think the non-hyperscreen interior of the eqe/eqs looks really good. Integrates the dual "ipad" look better than the new s or c class, in my opinion

Thomas once again, the most honest reviewer in the business ! You are right, MB design is less appealing than it could be for Westerns. My issue is with bloated doors and the weird location of the door handles. MB's decision on the front engine bay is also not my favorite. The interior material finish looks great, I agree that the conventional screen is much better.

I think it looks great! Reminds me of those drones from that ‘Oblivion’ movie 😎🤙🏽

Would have like more physical buttons. Frameless windows/doors will cause some issues with snow and ice, maybe there's some heating elements along the window frame?

That's the non-AMG line in the rear background. Loved seeing that and actually think I like the regular car the best, especially in the rear. AMG wheels with the unpainted non-black circular outline is not as good looking as an all black wheel, IMHO. Frunk space? Would love to see one without the hyperscreen. Seems a bit overpowering to me. Great again, Thomas. Need a purse for that HUGE key, lol. Thank you.

Looking forward to C-Class version (with estate??). I like it, _so_ over the SUV look.

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.

Yes! Yes! Didn’t want to have to wait longer to afford (wisely) the EQS at 100K+. Now, the EQE could very well be in my 2022 future, replacing my ‘17 E class.

It's so close to the EQS on the exterior and interior I can barely tell the difference. I don't like the compromised rear headroom. Otherwise, if you like the EQS, then this is very similar.

Love this

Very nice car hopefully they will develop a more powerful version and I go for it

I like the design.

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.

Do we know anything about an estate/wagon version? The trunk here is really tiny.

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.

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 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.

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.

Is there going to be an estate version? I can’t wait for some decent electric estate cars like the VW Space Vizzion or an E Class.

They told you the huge single capacitative button is for “design and functionality”, and you believe them? Come on, we all know it’s for one purpose only: cost cutting. Next time please ask them specifically and see if they admit it.

Yeah and when they break you will need to replace everything at high cost. Ofcourse many consumers own a merc for a 3 year lease period and then get a new one. But even so you want the feel of quality not this flimsy crap.

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 :)

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.

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.

Soon more to the AMG version on our channel!

I felt that this should have had a full length LED headlight since all EQ models do.

Can't wait for Mercedes UwU to be released

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.

When I saw EQS the first time I didn´t believe it was a Mercedes. It´s so ugly. Ans the EQE is following its steps, it´s just a big bigger so I don´t like either.

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

Personally not a fan of the Honda Civic style front and the profile doesn’t work for me. But I’m happy that Mercedes is introducing more EV’s

I don't like the baloon design neither on mercedes nor audi although audi's looks way better. BMW seems to go better for now, cant wait to see the future (i7, new 7 series). Good job Thomas as always 👏.

Mercedes sacrifices design for efficiency/range

Why did they drop the hatchback opening? It's on the EQS, which will be used less as a practical family vehicle than the EQE.. Also, what about the 'all black' front for the 'electric' version? Why not have a bar/line over the surface like on upcoming SUV versions?

Well you can feel the seat move when you touch the capacitive buttons. What's the problem. The design is beautiful. Funny enough Audi was the company to introduce the rounded design with the first new A6.
