I'm a mechanical engineering student, currently doing an internship working with electric vehicles, what a lot of people don't think about with electric vehicles is that they could be far more efficient as far as aerodynamics if we're willing to give up that traditional look and shape that we've come to expect. From an engineering standpoint, I think that the shape is pretty good, but from a business and consumer standpoint, it's off putting an ugly. Would you take a vehicle that is willing to give you 450 mi of range but it looks ugly, or would you be willing to take a vehicle that gives you 300 and 20 mi of range, but it looks really nice? That's the question that we need to answer in this field, and where those two viewpoints intersect is where we tend to build cars. Mercedes, you failed on this one
120k is absolute insanity for a car that looks this bland…
Wow. For the first time in a loooong time I disagree with you. It's absolutely beautiful car. Color's also awesome. Tho, the SUPER ULTRA SCREEN THING is absolutely terrible.
I think infotainment systems STILL aren’t taken as seriously as they should by the manufacturer. I’m sure they put a lot of energy into them, bur I think there are limits and old school mentalities where old heads who run things say it’s good enough, when it hasn’t been properly tested the same way software is tested before becoming a release candidate or general release.
The exterior is not exciting, but there's nothing ugly about this car. Unlike recent BMWs and the Cybertuck that are actually hideous
yes car is ugly
I am German and German Car manufacturers just suck in doing software, it's pitiful how bad it is.
The shift paddles make perfect sense: when you shift a ICE vehicle down, engine breaking will kick in, slowing the car down. This is what you get with regen as well…
When the review of the iX??
Click open buttons are not convenient and are more of a clunky
Not sure why you’re praising the interior. It does not look awesome to me.
Comfortable seats and tactile vents are not a great selling feature. Every SUV has them.
I think it’s a stretch to say there’s any extra room???
My Ford edge titanium beats this out
Way too small to be called an SUV
Ugly yet comfortable is how my ex described me.
I still think this looks much better than some other competitors. Model Y looks like a giant blob. Mach E looks just plain bad. At least this has some character and colour palettes. The blacked wheels look nice. The side profile is also good. The colour could be better but that is easy to get.
"Ugly but comfortable" is coincidentally what I call every Mercedes ever produced
2x Model 3 Performance for 1x EQE….as a german I cant see any reason to buy a german.
This car would absolutely freeze up and lock you out here in montana in the winter these push out door handles are the dumbest things ever my buddy has a tesla he can't drive here in the winter because he literally can't get into it lol
My god these things are ugly AF. Wonder who is willing to pay this kind of money for such an ugly thing with such poor range.
Aw man that is really ugly
Windows 95. That's rough, but accurate.
Worst EV ever. 100k for sub 220miles on average? Christ.
That’ll age like any desktop windows or Apple pc and dull gray doesn’t help. It’ll $100,000 now, but next year it’ll be $45,000 or $24,000.
Mercedes prime demographic age group is 50+. Makes sense the infotainment center is balls ugly and stupid simple.
I’m blown away why reviewers never comment on just how behind all of Teslas’ competitors are in technology and charging network.
The review primary mentions that the graphics on the screens are ugly, not the exterior styling itself, which I have to agree. All of Mercedes infotainment screens on all models do look dated and gaudy, and the font type used looks generic and cheap, not befitting of their upscale brand. It should look cleaner, more modern and less colourful and busy. I love the clean modern look of the graphics on my Polestar which that brand really values modern Scandinavian design. The exterior styling of this and the EQS is very handsome and inoffensive, but lacks the presence and upscale look. It looks very plain and doesn’t stand out from the tons of SUVs out there, but will definitely age well and have longevity. It’s not polarizing like their EV sedan counterparts which looks too sleek and egg-like.
at least its not Tesl X ugly…and it has buttons to operate the car, not just an ipad
"It is not that much better" … but so it is better!
After watching the video I see that you referred to the GUI when you said ugly. That is totally subjective, I think the graphics actually look much better than the pruned down minimalistic GUIs which are now the trend.
Ugly AMG, well that is a surprise

Ugly? It looks amazing! Very biased by your tesla cars.
YO! When is THE Silverado video?
Not that bad looking though
Ok .. test the electric G Class please
The Infotainment is like brand new and brother is wishing for a revamped design.
This interface is absolutely hideous
Its way prettier than your tesla
I like that car for sure.. Id hate you to rate my girlfriend
Bruh, the development of putting ugly-ass screens on the entire dashboard in these new cars is not what I would want tbh. I don't wanna fumble on a touchscreen while driving to change the AC unit settings. Also asking the car to open the glove box for it to not understand you every time is just bad, lol.
why exactly should i listen to a car review of a guy thats normaly only makes reviews about tech? cars now are tech just like a mac or a mobile phone? this guy has no clue about cars at all and all of a sudden we should listen to what he has to say? its more like he wants to get audience from car people but me my friend just watched this and we are car people. total bullshit. this car is not even to compare with anything of tesla. do not listen to people that have no clue about cars. mkbh is NOT a car guy. just because cars not got electric and has software etc. doesnt mean that tech people have all the clues about cars now. watch other reviews and you will see how good this car is. MBHD dont you ever dare to compare a tesla with a mercedez ever again,
This is a cash grab from Mercedes-Benz.
It's not ugly. It looks fine to me.
I like the whole design language except the rear look. Interior is nice but need screen in the back and more range.
I love the look of the software.. every piece of data you need to see is right there.. yeah, the background is not good, but this is nice, functional software! Its a rare sight in this day and age.
Its pronounced (Am-geek-es-ooov)
Man… i can't twist my mind around how this UI got through hundreds of instances and everyone thought it was okay.
All their electric cars are very pricey.And ugly Nice vehicle but the design department needs to be updated And yes, design matters.That's the only way that some people buy things
