Seems like tthe leaker posted the leak too late (not exactly complaining, will take what we can get), turns out MB planned to officially release the interior today anyways: https://group-media.mercedes-benz.co...0MDYzMA!!&rs=0

What is the middle thing sticking out on the dash? Is it a clock or something for AMGs? Like the R231 SL?

Nevermind answering my own question, that is a selfie cam LOL....

More. I will keep my "old school Mercedes-Benz" impressions to myself

I was hoping you were joking.

A couple of observations:

Ar least Kim doesn’t look like a blond bimbo!

In the US I wonder what the average age of the typical E class buyer. Here on Long Island it is north of 60 years so I wonder who Mercedes is targeting with this technology. Some of the features unless you are stopped and not driving seem to me at least are so distracting as to be dangerous

I can’t see any of more friends who have an E class playing video games in their next Mercedes’

I admit that elegance to me in a car is fine woodworking flowing lines and warmth: English cars come to mind. This new Mercedes’ design is sleek but I miss the beautiful wood and stitched dashboard and buttons on my E450.

Wonder what the interior will look like without the hyper screen which I assume is an extra cost option

Thanks for posting.

To me this extremely disappointing: On my 2019 E450 I have the full screen digital. The walnut burl wood and the full screen is elegant as a $70,000 plus luxury car should be.

The picture posted with two screens “planted” on the dashboard without any integration you might expect on a sub compact from Kia but is totally out of place on a $70,000 plus Mercedes

TikTok and Zoom apps coming to 2024 E Class. Link

How could anyone consider buying any car including a Mercedes without the Tik Tok app!

Most states have laws against texting and driving. A zoom app while driving is more dangerous!

The first time any of my employees do a zoom meeting while driving will be the last time. 1 million under employed lawyers will be making a fortune suing companies who let employees use zoom while driving. Imho of course!

From the press release: "When the vehicle is stationary, the driver can participate in online video conferences via Webex or Zoom, and take photos and videos."

How is screen glare not a problem? Ugliness aside.

This one looks nasty. The screens look tacked on. Between the Hyper-screen and this one, I would prefer the Hyper-screen, since even though such large screens are not my preference, it looks well integrated.

The good thing about this one is that you get more wood than glass. I don't know about you but I need to have wood in an E-Class.

When was reveal supposed to be again, was it May or June?

Eaton

German media is saying April.

Oh nice so soon, really looking forward to this one, from just the side profile this could be a winner, looks like one of the better MB designs for a long time (imo). From back in the day the uncertainty of even having a W214 to the camo coming off bits by bits the excitement really built for me.

Is Mercedes throwing everything into this E class since it might be the last gas powered E class design by Mercedes.

Doubtful. The EQ series are so ugly and selling poorly that they'll abandon or merge it to normal looking C/E/S class.

W205C43PFL

Possibly but as you know their focus is full electric though, although this is a very important vehicle for Mercedes, they might not throw everything but hopefully most of that everything.

The side profile is very sleek and classy, the interior is inspired by their EQ lineup and even some spy shots showing the front grille is inspired by the EQ lineup.

I mean I get it, they had been so heavily investing resources on the EQ lineup and don't have much allocated for gasoline if any anymore, they have no choice but to utilize some of that design on the W214. Hopefully that doesn't ruin the car but so far just by the side profile, it really is looking good in my opinion.

murman

I hear you on that front. It's enough to put me off ever buying one. It's a shame because the interiors look pretty good, at least to my eyes.

For me personally is that electric vehicles is a deal breaker it is way too cold here and needing to think about how temperatures affect the battery and adjust the plans accordingly is a deal breaker, when there are other things to deal with.
