NEW vs. OLD Mercedes E-Class! So Much CHANGED! W214 W213 Interior Exterior Comparison Walkaround 4k
I AM BACK with the all-new 2024 Mercedes Benz E-Class and the W213 E-Class on our KZhead Channel! 😍
In this video, we will be having a first walkaround showing you the Interior and Exterior Features of the all-new 2024 Mercedes Benz E-Class in comparison with the old W214 E-Class.
The new E-Class: A Bridge between Tradition and Digitalisation
Stuttgart. For over 75 years, the E-Class has set the standard for mid-range luxury saloons. In 2023, Mercedes-Benz will open a new chapter for the business saloon: the new E-Class points the way in the transition from the combustion engine to the electric drive. At the same time, its new electronics architecture allows a comprehensive digital user experience. The first saloon models of the 214 series will arrive at the
European sales partners in autumn 2023.
The new E-Class (length/width/height: 4949/1880/1468 millimetres) has the proportions of a classic three-box saloon: the short front overhang and long bonnet are followed by a greenhouse which is set well back. The passenger area is generously dimensioned, partly owing to the two-centimetre longer wheelbase (2961 millimetres) compared to the preceding series. The luggage capacity is up to 540 litres.

Old is Gold
the new E interior is like you're driving a PS5
😂😂
The old interior is much classier and it actually aged well
It’s crazy how well the w213 interior holds up, truly timeless.
Totally agree! The designers did an amazing job, aging like fine wine 👌🏼
Cause it's very much look like the golden era of mercedes aka w211
I like the old one better😂 looks more classy somehow
I would take the old in a heart beat. Way ahead of it’s time
W212 facelift always look the best! Timeless design!
Very true
Old one for me ❤
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
w211 will be the best for ever
I think it‘s ugly. Matter of taste

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.
Old 100%! So much more beautiful
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.
My favorite E Class is W123 , W124 pre facelift ,W212 facelift and the new W214 ❤
I love the two of them But they should stop fitting the fake exhaust pipes
w213 is the last good looking merc
214 looks like a Gaming Setup. I prefer the 213.
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.
Finally, TikTok in a luxury car. Just what was needed. A real drivers car. 😂 the old one, please!
Old one looks classy like a E class should New one looks like An Audi A6
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.
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 🙏🏾
the w213 looks so much better in any other color, you should have compared them both in the same color
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 213 CAN be a million kilometer car, but it isn't in the same breath. VERY FEW broke a million mark. And the same will be with 214. They didn't even aim to create 1mio km car.
@@_My.Name.Is.What_ agreed. Gone are those days where you get milestone badges hooked to the grille.
Они оба шикарны. Свое время 213 был любимцем многих и до сих он актуалень. Именно старый а не рестайл. Но и новый тоже шикарен. Спасибо большое за обзор
The backside of w213 is prob the best ever, also with the s CLASS from THAT generation
Old E-Class interior with new E-Class exterior 👌
the 213 came to the market in 2016, not 2014, the thumbnail is wrong🤦🏻♂️
Absolutely.
Hence he was saying 8 years older instead of 10
Yes, 👏
Sorry just fixed it, was a typo as I mentioned 2016 in the video as well 🫱🏻🫲🏼
@@mr.benzNope it came out in 2016 as a 2017 model. Go look at all the W212 models the last model was 2016, not 2015.
I love the 213 model. 🚓🚕🚖🚘
The w214 with the wood option instead of the super screen is the best interior mercedes has made in years
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.
W213 still the best look by far.
Indeed a futuristic interior & Infortainment thats why MERCEDES Always the KING of automobile Globally🤞🤞👏👏👏👏👏😃😃😃
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.
Exactly ...a 20cm difference would look HUGE
I owned the old Mercedes and loved it. I just purchased the new 2024 E450 it is fabulous the inside cabin materials are flawless, the ride is superb, the sound system is great. I am very pleased. I also have the super screen. The infotainment system is great. The touchscreen also works flawlessly. I don’t care about the exhaust tips the car is absolutely beautiful.
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.
W212 facelift was the last good looking E class
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.
Defenitly the old tail lights’ design is far better.
The exterior design of the 2016 is much better than that of the new Toyota-like one. The interior of the new one is much modern but less luxurious.
It’s way more luxurious. Better materials and build quality. Some people are just salty about touch screens and less buttons.
The quality is vastly higher on the new model. Sturdier and there's barely any plastics, and even where you find it it's a high quality one.
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.
@@alexwithanx You don’t have a W214.🤣 You claimed static seat controls creak. You don’t even know that they don’t move in the W214. Every single person who’s sat in one says the creaks are gone and the build is solid. 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). The door card is all leather/artico, metal and carpet- no hard plastic like BMW and Audi. Troll reply fail.
@@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.
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.
the back side of the W214 ist SO GOOD. it reminds me slightly off the first cls.
Wow finally someone that see that to😃
i really like the mercedes e class from 2014 to 2024
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.
w213 1000%
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
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.
I agree with your point about he seats. The seats in the w213 are definitely nicer. Thicker & more expensive feeling
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
W213 on top 🔝
finde die rücklichter der vorgänger version besser sonst der neue besser
does it come with a amg 43 package
Love the headlights of the new W214, with the lower two curved lighting elements continuing the "two light" signature of the E-Class
Way better than the straight-line no emotions Headlight from the FL 213
Looks like the lights are melting. Reminds me of the BMW 7 (E65) series from 2003
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.
What about space on back seats 213vs214?
make a video about w212 , i really like that model
If u just woke up, we're in 2024 and there is a million videos of w212 😒
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.
@@alexoblashkiThe build quality is better than the previous version you seem very misinformed.
@@alexoblashkibro is just rambling on😂 screens instead of trim= cost saving. Yea sure, the hyperscreen costs less than some molded plastic and wood right?
@@alexoblashkiyour point is even less valid as they had to develop the cockpit for the standard screen, including trims, simultaneously.
@@alexoblashki cheers mate, people normally don‘t admit being wrong on the internet🤝🏼
New one is beautiful
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.
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
i will take new E Class than EQS both have same interior but E Class is more good looking
I like old key more on w213
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.
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..
The 213 facelift was phenomenal. What are you talking about?
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.
W211 for me the last real e class
W214 with the exclusive line is possibly the best new model for Mercedes.
Not sure about the W214 grill it's giving me Eqs vibes
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.
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 biggest issue with the design of E class, is that it doesn’t have shoulders above the rear tires.
Get the New GLS 450 d
20 centimeters longer car? That's not right. Look at your dimension chart, the difference is 2 centimeters
Beside all new generation benefits the price is not justified in my opinion. The quality sucks in the new w214…
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
Старый красивее !
Man hört schon heftig das Englisch mit dem deutschen akzent raus 🤣
They both deprecate really fast.
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?
that would be the W213 FL i think..
Solingen!
👍
W213 was not 4.7 m long,it was already 4.9, W205 was 4.7m long but that is C Class… and same for wheelbase,I think you were saying both dimensions for C class…
I dont like the stars in the lights and grill in de w214.
Great one thx, but why no Sound Comparison?
смысл?
I didn’t want to compare the driving or sound of 2 different models. 450 6 cyl. vs. 350 4 cylinder makes no sense 👀
the old one is so much better...the back of the new one looks like a hyundai/kia...sad
11:33 but in reality it was far from the best. The perceived quality was far from being a BMW, Audi or Lexus, it was just more showy than those mentioned.
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.
old e-class is better
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.
w213 best
The old model for sure, Mercedes used to have class. Presence.. now it is just another wannabe electric sedan :/
15:22 Ich kann dir nur zustimmen, wunderschönes Auto. Kritik gibt es ja leider immer, und solche gefälschten/unnötigen Interieur-Qualitätstests.
Love the W213 but the new is one better than S-Class 😊
Definitely I agree, w223 is the ugliest S class ever designed
For me old
Didn’t like the 213 at all in terms of looks. The 212 tho I really loved. Still think it’s the best looking e class
Not so bad inside having in mind that Merc is lost in design for years...
now compare to w124
Never like any mercedes E class exterior and interior design starting from 1996 till 2024. Is there anymore current mercedes designers like that of Bruno Sacco conceptual left in Mercedes?
yep...you know it when you see it....the old one is better.
Why have an intro.. straight jump to action
