It's all since the late 90s, when shareholders had less power (and decisionmaking) within the brand, focusing less and less over the years (until nowadays), until we reached a point where you see a 75k car that is just not worth it. Quality control use to be the pinnacle of automotive industry in the 90s, and sadly those days are gone, changing interior high quality noble materials (wood and aluminium in physical buttons to just name a couple) for plastic and tablet shaped screens, and fake exhausts. Same goes once you get under the car, older mercedes used to be overengineered and built to last. And is not only Mercedes. BMW and Audi are doing the exact same thing, also overusing the horrible piano black (aka cheap plastic) in their interiors as well.
Yea it's embarassing what AMG is now. Every DECENT car they have is easily over 200k+ and needs a hybrid system to help the engije .. other then that they are all slow and poorly engineered.
They will put several cars together at once for logistics reasons. He'll review them all in the same day. They don't release the videos on the same day because they want to maximize viewership numbers.
Looool, It's not a CLE, it's the C-class from the inside and outside, for E-Class Prices. Redicoulus that MB can sell this Quality in the interior for this price point.
If I had £75,000 to spend, I’d purchase 150,000 rubber ducks to create an impressive collection and potentially hold the title for the largest rubber duck display in the world.
As is 65k for a Tacoma pick up. As is 50k for a mini Cooper. As is 85k for a Toyota Sequoia. As is 60k for a non M 2 series. As is 101k for a F- 150 Raptor. As is 53k for a Honda Passport. As is 253k for a USED Porsche GT4RS at my local Mercedes dealership.

idk why people just don’t boycott buying or leasing new cars? nobody needs a brand new car. nobody. but the fact people keep getting them, on lease for the most part so they only keep the car 2-4 years, means car makers are taking it as an excuse to put out SHITTY high prices with interior build quality worse than a 90s Nissan. what a fucking joke seriously.
Its not a Mercedes Coupe if it has a B-pillar. End of story. The Cabriolet doesnt have a B-pillar. Why not the Coupe too, to make it a real MB Coupe? I dont get it. Would have given it a real thought as a replacement for my aging C207. But not with the pillar, not for the plastics, not for the touchie touchie everywhere.
@yissibiiyte 234.000 km and counting, 1st hand, facelift model from end of 2011 - not easily going to trade it in for such a crap, at least not as long as it's running with its lovely V6 Diesel engine
@@SylviaNzubeCheck the history of Mercedes coupes of the past decades. It's been the unique selling point of Mercedes Coupes to NOT have a b-pillar. It's still a car. Its still a coupe. But not what Mercedes Coupes used to be - a Coupe WITHOUT a B-pillar. So much more aesthetics, with all windows down (at least for me) the better (and better looking) alternative to a cabriolet.

No CAR I repeat, No CAR is worth its retail, sometimes not even half. You can see that when depreciation hits these like a mountain in the first 2-3 yrs. just my opinion tho
Thats wrong. Cheap cars do what expensive cars do they move you from A to B what's not worth it isn't the car and its the car's luxury components. I can buy a ten dollar bag or one for ten thousand they'll never be anything else but bags.
Every car is so expensive nowadays but ignoring the price, very nice car. Test drove a CLE300h last week, very lovely car, was listed at £53k not quite the the £75k. Would consider once they depreciate a bit more though or through a MB offer!
Cars are way overpriced, its like they want us to PCP everything or huge deposits but id rather have that huge deposit accessible rather than invested into a depreciating asset. MB offer currently is actually pretty good. Tho its crazy you get a lower total cost deal buying a brand new A45s AMG rather than a 6m/1year second hand one.
@@andrecardoso6941 In the sense of every car is over priced/inflated at the moment. I’m not sure what you would pay for it but as I said the one I looked at was £20k cheaper as it was a different engine.
Vanity mirrors with their covers are just right, because the light should be on your face where it actually is, not on the mirror itself! This is a well-thought design.
I think the reason that Mercedes, Audi and other manufacturers have fake exhausts are in case you get rear-ended the exhaust pipe isn't pushed forward towards the engine, damaging it. Would just have to replace the rear bumper instead of a whole mess of things
Matt, where's the M5 G90 review/drag races? Just about every car channel had one for review at launch and now some other big car channel (you know which one) already had it in a drag race.
What about the new EV Range Test of a Kia EV9, Tesla Model S Plaid, Opel/Vauxhall Grandland, BMW XM, Hyundai Ioniq 9, and the Ford Mustang Mach E GT, I hope they can get a longer range of the EV cars.
I rented an E-class for a trip a few years back. And the gear selector on the steering column is the best thing ever. And back then the stalks were soldi and dampened perfectly, as they should considering is something you interact with all the time. I hope they have not massed that up. Big fan of Mercedes otherwise. Especially because they really have the best infotainment in the business in my opinion, even if it looks a bit dated in places UI wise.
I see a lot of ppl complaining about the price tag but it’s happening everywhere….a base 1 series starts from £30k car market just as bad as the house one
They should have kept the b pillar removed like the E and S coupe, especially since neither of those are being made anymore. Nothing will ever beat the look of the S class coupe. I have a 2018 CLS 550 4matic that I will be keeping over any of these new non AMG Mercedes.
The CLE is a modern interpretation of the con that was the CLK and C207 E-Class coupe, which means Mercedes can charge more for what it actually is. The CLE is priced as an E-Class coupe, but it’s based on the C-Class’ version of the MRA2 platform, not the E-Class’. Which is why space is tight for what is being marketed as an exec coupe, why it has the same interior as the C Class and why the interior quality is shocking for an exec (well, shocking for a C Class too). The CLK and C207 E-Class were the same, exec priced and marketed coupes based on the smaller C-Class.
SQ5 Audi 75k with a V6 engine. X5 69k without any optional extras. I will take the Merc thanks. As for Bmer. Too many maniacs round my way drive them so I do not want the stigma of the brand nor the devaluation or unreliability. No thanks.
Even the back seats of the BMW 2 series have climate control buttons and leather arm rests. I honestly think the 2 series is one of the most under rated modern cars
Come on guys. You can do better than this hating Mercedes. I am not impressed so far with the comments. Buy a Bmer or a Porche instead is not good enough! If Someone goes out and buys a Q5 or X5 Suv robo car and gets a some optional extras they will be paying over 70k for a souless piece of crap. On that bascis I will take the Cle.

We all saw that the New M5 is slower than the Mercedes-AMG GT63s E-Performance. If not, go to Throttle House, where they race it against the E63s and Audi RS7 Performance
It's also about 100K more than a new M5. It better be faster. The new M5 beat both the Rs7 performance and the E63s. You know, the cars that it compets with
At those performance numbers I couldn't care less. I'd much rather drive a slower W204 C63 than any of the following C-class AMGs even if they are a lot faster. One is a German muscle car the newer models are glorified disappointments and get worse with every iteration.
@GrandSil90 You BMW M fans said in the past when the GT63s E-Performance arrived, let's wait for the upcoming Hybrid M5, it's will dust this GT63s E-Performance Now the M5 is here, You are complaining that the 63 it 100K more 🤡
This car is so great and popular, that you get 30% off from the list price😂 it‘s bigger and more expensive than the old e-class coupe but is just a c-class inside
The drive select behind the steering wheel is not “easier” than levers down where the drive select is more commonly found. Only thing is does is free up space on the centre console
75k + tax + financing charges + options and your looking at almost 100k! I'd rather have a 228i. You can get a 2015 which are still gorgeous for 20k with low miles.
active safety suite in today's cars is becoming a pain in the butt . . . you longer enjoy driving because the moment you step on to the accelerator the safety suite kicks in & cuts down your acceleration instantly . . . because the ADAS thinks there's an impending crash with the car infront, which is actually at a safe distance of 100 metres or more . . . the tiny sensor fusion based computer chip in your €100,000 BMW M5 cannot interpret the fact that you'll safely drive around the car infront as you accelerate & not drive into the car infront . . .

If the CLE was replacing only the C-class coupe then yes, but again the price ! As a E-class coupe replacement, no no sorry mate. The E-class coupe previous gen is way more classier and sexy overall
At first I was considering swapping out my FL C238 E coupe for the CLE, however I’m now pretty certain I’d rather stick with my E coupe Great review as always though 👍🏻
I will never understand how such expensive cars like these continue to place PIANO BLACK on the interior/centre console, like WHY. the only time they look good is when you buy it and by the time you leave the dealership it's full of fingerprints, dust and scratches 😭
Yeah, I went to go look at this one and the cabriolet version yesterday at my local.... It looks like the c-class coupe/cab, definately not the e-class... I honestly wish Mercedes would get rid of the screens in all their cars, or atleast make it an option to get proper sane analog dials, otherwise everyone I know will have to keep driving their old mercedes's
Mercedes have gone crazy with their prices . I remember the days when the man on the street could afford a new Merc . Now their prices are astonishing . The Chinese are now building better cars and it is just a matter of time ,these will be available in the UK.
Mercedes cars after 2014 have greatly improved materials like the late 1980's/early 1990's. I am disappointed that their designers have elevated sport, firmness and gadgets while diminishing luxury, ride quality and interior spaciousness. For god's sake, the CLA is the world's first four door 2 seater!
Why the constant comments in all the reviews about scratchy surfaces. Surely this fairly irrelevant compared talking about, how noisy the car is at 70 mph on motorway, or how the car performs in the 30 to 50 and 50 to 70 accelerations. These tests are obviously for people who don’t know anything about cars, whereas Harry’s Garage with Harry Metcalfe are for people who understand performance and engineering.
I was expecting the comments to be filled with people saying it looks like a CLA, but nobody has. If you spent 75k on that car, everyone would laugh at you. It's identical to the CLA, shitty cheap plastics and the same engines that have been around for over a decade. No thanks Mercedes. You can get a brand new Audi SQ7 for 75k if you know where to look!
It's a nice car, but considering I got a 16000 miles from new 8 series for 38.5k,I just do not see the value 2nd hand market on it will be good in time
The gear stock on the side, like American cars used to have 40 or 50 years ago, probably still do on some. I don't know I haven't driven an American car in a long time.

AI computation don't understand that humans drive cars to get from point A to point B not to crash into other cars on purpose . . . bcos no matter how advanced the tech world becomes it'll never be as good as human perception . . .
Totally agree with you. Souless cars that have to obsessively nanny you. And charge you extra for their garbage tech.
@@danielshinerock1526your so very right my friend . . . begs you to think unmanned driverless cars are no longer a far fetched future, rather it's already here & now . . . and if that happens, then forget Mustang GT & Ferrari . . .
Matt your watch is an absolute belter...🎉
Mercedes Benz needs a reality check! No sane person should pay that much money for it
If the CLE was replacing only the C-class coupe then yes, but again the price ! As a E-class coupe replacement, no no sorry mate. The E-class coupe previous gen is way more classier and sexy overall
At first I was considering swapping out my FL C238 E coupe for the CLE, however I’m now pretty certain I’d rather stick with my E coupe
Great review as always though 👍🏻
Hey mate please review the newer genesis models ❤
Poor imitation of E-class coupe with fixed B-pillar, capacitive touch buttons and ugly piano black... and all this for 75k. Meeehhhh...
MAT, WHERE's M5 G90 RACES???
if they think they can get away with such interior plastic quality, imagine what material quality is like under the hood, what a shame
2:25 hurt my soul
exhaust?
I will never understand how such expensive cars like these continue to place PIANO BLACK on the interior/centre console, like WHY. the only time they look good is when you buy it and by the time you leave the dealership it's full of fingerprints, dust and scratches 😭
I rather buy a RS3 and S3 and still have money left over to insure them for the price of this car 🤦🏻♂️😂😂
Yeah, I went to go look at this one and the cabriolet version yesterday at my local.... It looks like the c-class coupe/cab, definately not the e-class...
I honestly wish Mercedes would get rid of the screens in all their cars, or atleast make it an option to get proper sane analog dials, otherwise everyone I know will have to keep driving their old mercedes's
Mercedes have gone crazy with their prices . I remember the days when the man on the street could afford a new Merc . Now their prices are astonishing .
The Chinese are now building better cars and it is just a matter of time ,these will be available in the UK.
Mercedes cars after 2014 have greatly improved materials like the late 1980's/early 1990's.
I am disappointed that their designers have elevated sport, firmness and gadgets while diminishing luxury, ride quality and interior spaciousness. For god's sake, the CLA is the world's first four door 2 seater!
Give me a lever to change gears, that's where the indicator stalk goes.
Considered the new CLE53 Henry Hoover but after seeing the reviews by various youtubers no thanks, stick with my 2019 E53 Coupe for a few more years
Why the constant comments in all the reviews about scratchy surfaces. Surely this fairly irrelevant compared talking about, how noisy the car is at 70 mph on motorway, or how the car performs in the 30 to 50 and 50 to 70 accelerations. These tests are obviously for people who don’t know anything about cars, whereas Harry’s Garage with Harry Metcalfe are for people who understand performance and engineering.
They should export a Mexican microbus, those are beasts and have a beautiful sound.
Atleast there’s a V8 coming
Please review the G90 M5
Besides all the flaws this car is beautiful 🤩 at least from outside.
Exactly. Many others would agree but instead criticise the car and say they prefer Bmer and Audi. Porche etc. Who cares.
Nice color 😂 crazy $$$
They dropped the no-B pillar design. What a shame !
Also, no way this straight 6 does only 35mpg. No way.
I was expecting the comments to be filled with people saying it looks like a CLA, but nobody has. If you spent 75k on that car, everyone would laugh at you. It's identical to the CLA, shitty cheap plastics and the same engines that have been around for over a decade. No thanks Mercedes. You can get a brand new Audi SQ7 for 75k if you know where to look!
Your videos are always uplifting and full of joy. Thank you for your warmth and light!☯️🥊🌎

Mercedes is the voice assistant that suddenly wakes up and starts talking as if still in a dream!
75k is what i would expect to pay for the amg version
I think the tech looks really outdated already.... those bezels!
Deine Videos sind immer so tiefgründig und aufrichtig. Danke für deine Kreativität und Aufrichtigkeit!❗️💬🐗
73k €/$/£ is NOT a huge amount of money....😅 for a premium (?) car like this.
Pre owned will go for about 40k after one year smh….. 75 is insane
“Or am I gonna put the boot into it”
Car: “ I beat you to it” 💀
It's a nice car, but considering I got a 16000 miles from new 8 series for 38.5k,I just do not see the value
2nd hand market on it will be good in time
People who thought Audi killed the A5 can rejoice. They will most likely make an A5 Coupe to compete with the CLE and 4 series
The gear stock on the side, like American cars used to have 40 or 50 years ago, probably still do on some. I don't know I haven't driven an American car in a long time.
The only drawback … I wish that we got all window roll down just like old e class …😢
Man Brits get screwed on car prices. This tops out as 75k USD with options in the US (~60k GBP)
