in my opinion w213 it's more beautiful, I'm a fan of analog watches and when it comes to combi w213 it's more beautiful than s214

Mr. Benz! You killed it with this video, wonderful, perfect! Here in Brazil we have a 2017 W213 E250 and all we needed was a comparison video like this to decide on a future exchange for a W214. We love the W213 as a family car, we already had a 2014 W212 E250 facelift and we still keep a 2003 W211 E500 as an “asset”, for occasional use. I have driven the entire evolutionary sequence of the E Class since the W210 and I can say there are losses, and gains, of course. My personal opinion as a lover of Mercedes Benz cars and not Mercedes Benz technologies (Gadgets), we lose with each generation, with more speed from the W212 onwards. They give the feeling of being "less automobiles" and more equipment, machines for simple use such as TVs, computers and dishwashers. Sad.

w213 is the last good looking merc

I love the two of them But they should stop fitting the fake exhaust pipes

Old 100%! So much more beautiful

Finally, TikTok in a luxury car. Just what was needed. A real drivers car. 😂 the old one, please!

The 213 is is by far the best.

The wheelbase of w213 is 2939mm, not 2760mm. The newer model is about 2-3cm longer, not 20cm. The difference in wheelbase is also about 2cm.

We're comparing a post-pandemic recession car with a pre pandemic car. Overall, 213>214 simply because it may stand the test of time. The 213 can be a million kilometer car whereas the 214 most likely won't because of too much technology which means too many things that can go wrong.

The old one looks classy, elegant and serious. The new one looks younger, not too classy. However, it looks sportier. Not a big fan of E class but if I had to choose, I’d pick the old one.

I believe that the W212- faclift is the last really good looking E-class. The W213- facelift have better taillights than the pre- facelift, much the same as the 214. The W214 is not anything like as good as the older models.

This is why its good to try get a spec'ed one to last you thru the years... The new one look fabulous, but the W213 still holds its own very well in 2024.

214 looks like a Gaming Setup. I prefer the 213.

My favorite E Class is W123 , W124 pre facelift ,W212 facelift and the new W214 ❤

W212 facelift was the last good looking E class

W213 E class facelift was the best looking. Although the more I look at the new one, the more I’m starting to like it.

The backside of w213 is prob the best ever, also with the s CLASS from THAT generation

New interior love it. I have old w213 e300 2017. Love my current car, but I will get the new w214. Thanks very much, Cevin 🙏🏾

Indeed a futuristic interior & Infortainment thats why MERCEDES Always the KING of automobile Globally🤞🤞👏👏👏👏👏😃😃😃

I dont know what these two other comments are talking about but theres so much more cheap plastic in the 214 than the 213. Ive owned the 213 and now currently have the new e400e w214. Those two probably only watched vids about them and havent actually touched them irl. Because the 214 looks awewome but theres much much more cheap light plastic inside. My 213 was much less creeky and everything (touchscreen or ESPECIALLY the seat adjustments) felt much sturdier. Both were amg lines with full leather options.

The cheap plastic around the window switches is gone (the new 5- series has even more of that than the old 5 OR the W213 lol).

@@alexwithanx what the hell are you talking about? The w213 was not solidly buildt at all around the door and the centre consolle, even the dashboard creaked. There is genuinely 0 cheap plastic in the w214. You'll only find it in the lower side of the door, the back of the seats or the centre of the wheel and it's a very soft, smooth plastic, it's not a cheap material at all.

I like the older model much better especially the interior.

the w213 looks so much better in any other color, you should have compared them both in the same color

The thing I miss most on the new model are the physical (individual) buttons.

2016 looks much better in my opinion and deffinetly has better build quality in the interior! So in my opinion the newer model isnt just highly overprized, its also a big downgrade to the older one.

the back side of the W214 ist SO GOOD. it reminds me slightly off the first cls.

The w214 with the wood option instead of the super screen is the best interior mercedes has made in years

Great video. Overall W213 is an awesome package. In many ways, an old one is still better than the new E. 2 front LED stripes are the most elegant light signature in automobilism until now. Currently I drive E-class 2019

I have two C class; one 2018 C180 (W205) and a brand new 2024 C200 (W206); just like in the E class, while the newer ones look truly modern, the exterior lines of the older ones look classier, more elegant but the interior of both C and E class is better in the newer ones tough.

I own a W213 E300. It is one of the best cars I have ever owned. I also like the W214. I would like to drive the W214 to compare handling and comfort. I do however, prefer the W213 front grill and tail lights to the W214.

w213 1000%

Old E-Class interior with new E-Class exterior 👌

The new E class looks good from the front but not the tail lights. The benz emblem in tail lights looks terrible. The interior of new E class is clean and not cluttered like the classic E class. The tail light of old E class is good. The interior of old E class is also good with physical buttons and a centre clock and big touch screen.

Excellent! Just got my 2018 w213 e400 and I'm so pleased! I saw the w214 in London and it looks better than the w213 facelift - but not as good, in my eyes as the pre-facelift w213 that you have here The New w214 looks more substantial though. More planted.

does it come with a amg 43 package

The new E-Class is a lesson that more isn't always better. There are some nice extra touches on the newer model, but the overall exterior design of the prior generation just looks much more expensive and elegant. The new model is still very nice looking, but the odd black plastic grill frame is cheap looking, as is the way the flat appearance of the "3D" grill. I would love a mixture of these two models.

Defenitly the old tail lights’ design is far better.

Love the look of that super screen but, the touch screen will look dirty from touching. I personally prefer the control knob. Both are beautiful. I own w222 S560.

Super screen seems cool, but in reality a third of it is just dead screen which is kind of a bad design choice. They should of just embedded each individual screen in to the dash surrounded by leather

this new generation of Mercedes is going to go down as one of the down years in its history. they absolutely ruined every class with gimmicks and tabletmobile interiors.

I agree with your point about he seats. The seats in the w213 are definitely nicer. Thicker & more expensive feeling

I like old key more on w213

Hate the new large screen dashboard. Itactually cist much less, because it's just one LED touch screen whuch is cheap today, everything is software, whereas the old one requires specifically made hardware pieces for the gauge, switches, buttons etc..

I have the 2021. Bought my lease out. I can’t get into the new one. Besides, the leasing numbers are out of this world.

Get the New GLS 450 d

finde die rücklichter der vorgänger version besser sonst der neue besser

I have a 2019 E300 with the luxury package. I like the elegance of the hood star and the burled walnut interior. I like the fact that my car really resembles the S class. I, like others feel like the interior looks like a video game. We don’t get the luxury package in the USA and being an old man I don’t really like the sport version.

New Mercs look like every other chinese startup ev company nowadays. Just ipads everywhere. But hey, it has Tiktok lol I miss the metal butons, switches and real wood these cars used to have, they where all "old money" like, now these cars are so souless, they are designed for the Coachella Instagram generation ugh

New one is beautiful

The 213 facelift was phenomenal. What are you talking about?

The new E class interior looks much better without the superscreen look it up! I don’t like all this shiny black plastic and the interior ambient lighting is just too tacky. Exterior is really cool in the new one.

The wagon version looks almost exactly the same though.

old e-class is better

They both deprecate really fast.

I dont like the stars in the lights and grill in de w214.

I like the new E Class more. The old one was ok, but the new one is Instagram-video quality. Alienware LED inspired. The interior is really nice despite being a little gawdy. The downside is the weak engines and high price. $80,000 for a 4 cylinder with superscreen? $90,000 for a 6 cylinder? That's nuts.

I personally think Mercedes Benz best years were between 2004 & 2020 … build quality & wow factor. Now ofcourse they’re still good but these newer Mercedes seem fruity to me to be honest.

Not sure about the W214 grill it's giving me Eqs vibes

Beside all new generation benefits the price is not justified in my opinion. The quality sucks in the new w214…

The biggest issue with the design of E class, is that it doesn’t have shoulders above the rear tires.

The AMG grille on the new model is very ugly. Overally, the older model is better looking by far on the exterior. I also think the wheels on the new one are needlessly too large. That also doesn’t help the ride.

Isn't there another E-Class between these two? Came out in like 2021 no?

The old model for sure, Mercedes used to have class. Presence.. now it is just another wannabe electric sedan :/

W214 with the exclusive line is possibly the best new model for Mercedes.

The streamline design of the 213 is one of the biggest reasons i chose to buy that car, i went for the all terrain version which for me is the best car ever made, the interupted line is more of audi design language when they departed from the streamline clean design and f-it up, idk the 213 is still better they went too far with the new design, they could have just mde it better incrementally

It shows car manufacturers increase price of petrol and diesel models to subsidise loss making electric models

Mercedes-Benz is messing up on these new E class. I ordered a new one fully loaded in the US and it does not come with that sport flat bottom steering wheel they shorted us a bunch of features that’s still being advertised. I don’t get it. I’m getting ready to bring back this E class and cancel the deal. It is not what I thought or what is being seen in your videos or any videos we are not getting these models in the US.

The W213 was inaugurated as a 2017 model, at least here in North America. The 2016 is the previous-gen W212. If I am right, please correct this video.

The 2016 model was Perfection. Timeless Elegance. Upright stately front grille with the perfect design. They've ruined it with the new one, it looks so forced and fake like an E class and EQS were forced together and had a baby.
