Checked out the 2024 Mercedes E-Class: Observations as an Audi A4 owner

I am 6ft and seating in the driver seat was good. Coming from an Audi A4, I definitely had more space to play with.

BHPian raviemailid recently shared this with other enthusiasts:

I saw the new E-class at Sundaram Motors in Bangalore yesterday. They have both the models, with and without superscreen for display there. The E200 with superscreen in black color with brown interiors is available for a test drive.

No discount on pricing. Not sure if we can work out anything on a newly launched car. The car looks stunning in black though. This is my preferred colour anyway. I currently drive a black colour Audi A4.

I am 6ft and seating in the driver seat was good. Coming from an Audi A4A4, I definitely had more space to play with. The seat adjustment buttons were funny- you are never too sure if it is pressed or not.

The superscreen is the soul of the front dash (albeit with a lot of reflection). One without superscreen just didn't have the "charm". The other one skips the centre camera as well (for good). As you can see, the screen is a fingerprint magnet. I was also concerned about scratches and marks on such a large screen area. SA didn't know if it is a toughened or scratch-proof glass. Maybe we'll need to add a screen protector like the phones. The 3D maps are absolutely amazing though.

I was told that passenger seat screen will be operation for media consumption while car is running. I am not too sure about this. I'll be TDing this car in a few days - will update on this accordingly.

The rear seat is such an amazing place to be. I doubt there are cars that can complete with E-class rear seat in comfort under 1CR price tag. I found the boot to be a concern though. It felt pretty much the same that I have in A4.
