2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 4Matic Coupe First Test: Ooooh, Look at That!

Did you look at the taillights? No, really, how closely did you check out the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe’s lit up taillights? The superficially satisfying taillight design is said to have a crystal look, which is fitting from the same automaker that brought us the S-Class coupe’s Swarovski-crystal-filled headlights. When it comes to details that make coupe buyers feel special, the 2018 E-Class coupe knocks it out of the park with a B-pillarless smash. ‪Probably not a good idea to want a car for its crystal-look taillights, but check out how this @mbusa E400 coupe design detail sparkles!‬ #mercedesbenz #mercedeseclass #eclass #coupe #lights #crystal #details A post shared by Zach Gale (@zachgale) on Jul 26, 2017 at 7:00am PDT Of course, our 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 4Matic coupe tester wasn’t perfect, but over the course of track testing as well as driving in traffic, on empty highways, and through winding canyon roads, the car mostly presented itself well. Because luxury coupes carry a “pretty” premium over similar sedans and are made to be seen, we’ll start with design. As with the S-Class coupe, the E-Class coupe continues a Mercedes tradition that’s been around for decades: a B-pillarless design on two-doors. The design detail actually improves visibility, but it is mostly cool because no one else in this price class does it. If the C-Class coupe’s exterior styling is “bar-of-soap boring,” as we called it during 2017 Car of the Year testing, the E-Class coupe is one attractive, half-melted bar of soap. Decide for yourself what you think of the exterior (and Mercedes’ diamond-block grille) by opening this review’s extensive gallery of photos. The only pimple on the 2018 E400 coupe’s design—one shared with the last-generation model—is that the rear side windows aren’t a one-piece unit such as those of the S-Class coupe, so a sliver of the rear side glass stays in place even when you lower all the windows. Compared to the last-generation model, the 2018 Mercedes-Benz E-Class coupe’s wheelbase has been stretched by 4.4 inches. The new two-door is longer (4.8 inches), wider (2.9 inches), and slightly taller (1.5 inches).Step inside, and you’re greeted by air vents inspired by turbine blades. It’s a rich touch for an interior that lives up to our tester’s $86,685 as-tested MSRP. Before you start adding options, know that for now, every E-Class coupe is powered by a 3.0-liter twin-turbo V-6 producing 329 hp and 354 lb-ft of torque. That engine is mated to a responsive nine-speed automatic that behaves well except in the car’s sport mode, where its very aggressive tuning can cause the car to lunge forward a little more than you’d like. Our car was equipped with a $1,900 air suspension that provided a smooth, if a little floaty, ride in comfort mode, but that changes drastically if you switch the car all the way to Sport+. When you’re in a sporty mood, I’d maybe stick with Sport because the suspension doesn’t feel as rough. No matter the driving mode, the 329-hp engine is well matched to a car such as the E-Class coupe, and for the 2018 model year, it is now available on the sedan, too. On the track, the all-wheel-drive 2018 E400 coupe accelerated from 0 to 60 mph in 5.2 seconds (Mercedes expects rear-drive variants to be 0.3 second slower). Road test editor Chris Walton remarked on the car’s “surprisingly linear, nonturbo power delivery,” and said that in hard acceleration, the nine-speed auto turned in smooth and quick shifts. We’ve tested an all-wheel-drive E400 wagon reaching 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, and an all-wheel-drive E300 sedan (with a 241-hp turbo-four) hit 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. Driven quickly around a street corner or on winding roads, the E400 4Matic coupe’s steering is surprisingly reactive, and the car exhibits little body roll. Braking from 60 to 0 mph takes a respectable 112 feet, and the coupe completed our figure-eight course in 25.7 seconds at 0.72 average g. Our tester had AMG Line visual upgrades that don’t translate to better at-the-limit performance. Testing director Kim Reynolds commented on the car’s “slow response to throttle” and said it was “hard to control the understeer.” This is the type of behavior you’ll find close to the car’s limits, and if you’re really seeking out the limits of your luxury coupe, smaller and sportier entries including the Mercedes-AMG C43 and Audi S5 might be more your style. As we noted in our 2018 E-Class Coupe First Drive review, this Mercedes shines as a boulevard cruiser. If you take some friends out to dinner, they’ll access the back seat by pulling a lever on the edge of the front seat that folds the backrest forward, at which point the seat automatically powers forward and up a little bit. In the rear seat, there’s actually a decent amount of legroom, plus some extra space for feet under the front seats. Those rear bucket seats are comfortable enough, though there’s no central armrest, and rear headroom is limited by the way the roof slopes downward toward the car’s rear. What might really keep the rear seat from being used for more than 30 minutes at a time—especially for passengers who get claustrophobic—is the small size of those rear-side windows. You wouldn’t sacrifice the coupe’s styling for a practical concern like that, though, right? If you really want a two-door, four-seat Mercedes without that issue, wait for the E-Class Cabriolet to roll into your local dealership. Both two-door E-Class models are pricier than the sedan, and our E400 coupe was loaded down with more than $25,000 of luxurious options. All-wheel drive is a $2,500 option that doesn’t actually come at the cost of lower fuel economy; the E400 4Matic coupe has the same 20/26 mpg city/highway rating as the rear-drive E400 coupe (in Real MPG testing, the car was good for 18.8/29.7 mpg). Standard equipment includes multimode drive settings that can adjust throttle sensitivity, the transmission, and the weight of the steering. A collision braking mitigation system, LED headlights and taillights, and the large 12.3-inch infotainment display with navigation as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are also included. An awesome ambient lighting system is wonderfully integrated into the car’s interior and offers five intensity levels and 64 colors. The all-wheel-drive E400 throws in a feature called Magic Vision Control that might be worth getting on the rear-drive model (for $350) just for its eye-roll-worthy name alone. The E400 coupe’s slim windshield wiper blades have laser-cut holes out of which the washer fluid is released, reducing the chance that fluid will spray over the windshield entirely or run off toward the A-pillars. Other features on our $86,685 E400 4Matic coupe included a $2,500 AMG styling package that adds sportier design accents on the outside, different 18-inch wheels (19s are available), a black headliner, and a flat-bottom steering wheel that feels great. The adaptive air suspension is $1,900, and although the system can appreciably change the car’s dynamic performance from one mode to another, we’ve not yet driven a nonair-suspension E-Class coupe. Inflating our car’s as-tested price was a $5,400, 1,450-watt Burmester 3-D sound system with 23 speakers (including ceiling-mounted speakers) and a few listening modes. The system sounds great and those ceiling speakers even get some ambient lighting, but we’re guessing most will be satisfied with the available 590-watt Burmester option that has 13 speakers and attractive aluminum speaker grilles. Mercedes’ multi-camera parking aid is a well-executed version of the tech offered by many automakers, but that feature and a head-up display are bundled in the car’s most expensive package. If you actually have a limited budget, consider stopping at the second of three “Premium” packages. You’ll miss out on Mercedes-Benz’s most advanced active safety tech—though I found the adaptive cruise control left too much following distance on its closest setting—but you’ll still get the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, headlights that help you see around corners, and a few other features. If repair costs on some of the E400 coupe’s cool options don’t scare you, there is another feature I hope a future E-Class coupe will offer—a power-door closer. Just like most luxury coupes, the E400’s doors are long, heavy, and require an awkward reach to close if you get inside and realize you forgot to hold onto the inside of the door to close it as you sit down. So you can either remember to close the door as you get inside or, perhaps on a next-gen E-Class coupe, have the car do it for you. The E-Class coupe’s extensive options list, interior color combinations, and wood trim choices might be overwhelming to some buyers, but they’re a part of the car’s appeal. As with similar BMWs, most E-Class coupe customers will probably pick a car that most closely matches the options they want from dealer stock, but knowing you have so many ways of customizing your car is a luxury in itself. The E400 4Matic coupe doesn’t have any direct competitors of a similar size now that the BMW 6 Series is offered in convertible and four-door forms but not as a coupe. That leaves consumers interested in an E-Class coupe to also consider the smaller Audi S5, Lexus RC 350, BMW 440i, Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400, or Cadillac ATS 3.6 coupe. The more expensive E-Class is not really designed to compete against them, but in a segment as ME-oriented as luxury coupes, start your search with designs that speak to you (and view them in person, if possible). The E400 coupe is a solid entry with few competitors, and especially if you’ve got many thousands of dollars to spend on extra-cost colors and interior options, it could be just the car for when the larger S-Class coupe is too ostentatious. 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 4Matic Coupe BASE PRICE $62,395 PRICE AS TESTED $86,685 VEHICLE LAYOUT Front-engine, AWD, 4-pass, 2-door coupe ENGINE 3.0L/329-hp/354-lb-ft twin-turbo DOHC 24-valve V-6 TRANSMISSION 9-speed automatic CURB WEIGHT (F/R DIST) 4,305 lb (55/45%) WHEELBASE 113.1 in LENGTH x WIDTH x HEIGHT 190.0 x 73.2 x 56.3 in 0-60 MPH 5.2 sec QUARTER MILE 13.7 sec @ 102.2 mph BRAKING, 60-0 MPH 112 ft LATERAL ACCELERATION 0.90 g (avg) MT FIGURE EIGHT 25.7 sec @ 0.72 g (avg) REAL MPG, CITY/HWY/COMB 18.8/29.7/22.6 mpg EPA CITY/HWY/COMB FUEL ECON 20/26/22 mpg ENERGY CONS, CITY/HWY 169/130 kW-hrs/100 miles CO2 EMISSIONS, COMB 0.87 lb/mile The post 2018 Mercedes-Benz E400 4Matic Coupe First Test: Ooooh, Look at That! appeared first on Motor Trend.

We’ve tested an all-wheel-drive E400 wagon reaching 60 mph in 5.1 seconds, and an all-wheel-drive E300 sedan (with a 241-hp turbo-four) hit 60 mph in 6.5 seconds. Driven quickly around a street corner or on winding roads, the E400 4Matic coupe’s steering is surprisingly reactive, and the car exhibits little body roll. Braking from 60 to 0 mph takes a respectable 112 feet, and the coupe completed our figure-eight course in 25.7 seconds at 0.72 average g.

Our tester had AMG Line visual upgrades that don’t translate to better at-the-limit performance. Testing director Kim Reynolds commented on the car’s “slow response to throttle” and said it was “hard to control the understeer.” This is the type of behavior you’ll find close to the car’s limits, and if you’re really seeking out the limits of your luxury coupe, smaller and sportier entries including the Mercedes-AMG C43 and Audi S5 might be more your style.

As we noted in our 2018 E-Class Coupe First Drive review, this Mercedes shines as a boulevard cruiser. If you take some friends out to dinner, they’ll access the back seat by pulling a lever on the edge of the front seat that folds the backrest forward, at which point the seat automatically powers forward and up a little bit. In the rear seat, there’s actually a decent amount of legroom, plus some extra space for feet under the front seats. Those rear bucket seats are comfortable enough, though there’s no central armrest, and rear headroom is limited by the way the roof slopes downward toward the car’s rear. What might really keep the rear seat from being used for more than 30 minutes at a time—especially for passengers who get claustrophobic—is the small size of those rear-side windows. You wouldn’t sacrifice the coupe’s styling for a practical concern like that, though, right? If you really want a two-door, four-seat Mercedes without that issue, wait for the E-Class Cabriolet to roll into your local dealership.

Both two-door E-Class models are pricier than the sedan, and our E400 coupe was loaded down with more than $25,000 of luxurious options. All-wheel drive is a $2,500 option that doesn’t actually come at the cost of lower fuel economy; the E400 4Matic coupe has the same 20/26 mpg city/highway rating as the rear-drive E400 coupe (in Real MPG testing, the car was good for 18.8/29.7 mpg). Standard equipment includes multimode drive settings that can adjust throttle sensitivity, the transmission, and the weight of the steering. A collision braking mitigation system, LED headlights and taillights, and the large 12.3-inch infotainment display with navigation as well as Apple CarPlay and Android Auto compatibility are also included. An awesome ambient lighting system is wonderfully integrated into the car’s interior and offers five intensity levels and 64 colors. The all-wheel-drive E400 throws in a feature called Magic Vision Control that might be worth getting on the rear-drive model (for $350) just for its eye-roll-worthy name alone. The E400 coupe’s slim windshield wiper blades have laser-cut holes out of which the washer fluid is released, reducing the chance that fluid will spray over the windshield entirely or run off toward the A-pillars.

Other features on our $86,685 E400 4Matic coupe included a $2,500 AMG styling package that adds sportier design accents on the outside, different 18-inch wheels (19s are available), a black headliner, and a flat-bottom steering wheel that feels great. The adaptive air suspension is $1,900, and although the system can appreciably change the car’s dynamic performance from one mode to another, we’ve not yet driven a nonair-suspension E-Class coupe. Inflating our car’s as-tested price was a $5,400, 1,450-watt Burmester 3-D sound system with 23 speakers (including ceiling-mounted speakers) and a few listening modes. The system sounds great and those ceiling speakers even get some ambient lighting, but we’re guessing most will be satisfied with the available 590-watt Burmester option that has 13 speakers and attractive aluminum speaker grilles. Mercedes’ multi-camera parking aid is a well-executed version of the tech offered by many automakers, but that feature and a head-up display are bundled in the car’s most expensive package. If you actually have a limited budget, consider stopping at the second of three “Premium” packages. You’ll miss out on Mercedes-Benz’s most advanced active safety tech—though I found the adaptive cruise control left too much following distance on its closest setting—but you’ll still get the 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster, headlights that help you see around corners, and a few other features.

If repair costs on some of the E400 coupe’s cool options don’t scare you, there is another feature I hope a future E-Class coupe will offer—a power-door closer. Just like most luxury coupes, the E400’s doors are long, heavy, and require an awkward reach to close if you get inside and realize you forgot to hold onto the inside of the door to close it as you sit down. So you can either remember to close the door as you get inside or, perhaps on a next-gen E-Class coupe, have the car do it for you.

The E-Class coupe’s extensive options list, interior color combinations, and wood trim choices might be overwhelming to some buyers, but they’re a part of the car’s appeal. As with similar BMWs, most E-Class coupe customers will probably pick a car that most closely matches the options they want from dealer stock, but knowing you have so many ways of customizing your car is a luxury in itself.

The E400 4Matic coupe doesn’t have any direct competitors of a similar size now that the BMW 6 Series is offered in convertible and four-door forms but not as a coupe. That leaves consumers interested in an E-Class coupe to also consider the smaller Audi S5, Lexus RC 350, BMW 440i, Infiniti Q60 Red Sport 400, or Cadillac ATS 3.6 coupe. The more expensive E-Class is not really designed to compete against them, but in a segment as ME-oriented as luxury coupes, start your search with designs that speak to you (and view them in person, if possible). The E400 coupe is a solid entry with few competitors, and especially if you’ve got many thousands of dollars to spend on extra-cost colors and interior options, it could be just the car for when the larger S-Class coupe is too ostentatious.

2017 BMW M3 Sedan & 2018 Audi S5 Coupé, and in-between? via /r/cars

2017 BMW M3 Sedan & 2018 Audi S5 Coupé, and in-between?

Hello /r/cars,

Without getting into too much detail, due to a change in my financial situation I will soon be able to get rid of my Honda Civic and buy a more expensive, fun-to-drive car.

Getting straight to the point: I've been comparing prospective cars up to a price range that I feel comfortable with ($80,000 CAD) and you can see the fruits of my research here: http://ift.tt/2qa7zFj

I've narrowed it down to the 2018 Audi S5 Coupé & 2017 BMW M3 Sedan. The S5 at $61,500 is not only an absolutely gorgeous car (IMO) but it is also the least expensive of the two - and I imagine will be easier to tune (e.g.: a stage 1 ECU tune) but please correct me if I'm wrong.

The M3 is $16,000 more expensive but includes an additional 70 horsepower and 40-ish torque (and I believe the cost of a dual-clutch is $7,000).

My dilemma is: is there a car in-between the S5 and the M3? For example, is there a car that is $8,000 more expensive but perhaps has more power and torque?

(if you're wondering what Price / Average Power is in my image, I just divided the MSRP by (HP + Torque / 2) to get a gauge of the diminishing returns in terms of price over power)

2017 Audi A5 Review

Fantastic and satisfying, the 2017 Audi A5 is accessible as an auto, convertible, and vivacious four-entryway. Quattro all-wheel drive is standard for amazing execution in all conditions. The auto and convertible utilize a 220-hp 2.0-liter four-chamber with a six-speed manual; an eight-speed modified is discretionary. The Sport back sports a 2.0-liter turbo four making 252 torque with a seven-speed twofold handle altered. Those scanning for more muscle should truly consider moving to the consistent S5 or Bahn-eating up RS5.

There remain a couple among us who decay to go to the store wearing activity pants or to eat up out in T-shirts and baseball tops. Individuals who brush their hair before observing the doorbell, notwithstanding when they know it’s basically one more vinyl-siding dealer. For such individuals—call them the nattily dressed—cars, for example, the Audi A5 are made.

Fashioner Walter de ‘Silva, an Italian who is difficult to envision wearing athletic shorts to the workplace, once called the 2017 Audi A5 that appeared in 2008 the most great auto he’d made amidst his residency at Audi. He was not by any extend of the creative ability alone in such path for his own particular work, since he was in this manner lifted to head of diagram for the whole Volkswagen Group.

De ‘Silva surrendered last November (supplanted by past Porsche styling manager Michael Mauer) yet not before he had, in all likelihood, at any rate obviously ensured the system for the all-new A5 wanting 2018. It mirrors a not-settling what-ain’t-broke way to deal with oversee styling, maybe a plenitude of thusly, despite the way that it will ride on another stage and utilize fresher drivetrain equipment.

2017 Audi A5 Inside Design and Special Features

Until the going with A5 fulfills the United States in the chief half of 2017, in any case, merchants still have the essential, de ‘Silva-plot A5. It has experienced a few overhauls and updates (LED lights and such), conveyed a convertible that some find altogether all the all the all the more engaging, and now does not have the primary’s V-6 motor, yet your key A5 auto remains a joy eight years after we at first watched it.

It would seem that those coats that the nattily dressed hang in cedar storage rooms for a critical long time since they’ll never leave outline. Audi needs the new one basically the same—yet solely fitted with trendier lapels and unequivocally pulverized wrinkles to address the test postured by the in like way especially orchestrated BMW 4-game-plan and Mercedes-Benz C-class auto. This A5 still will look mind blowing in your carport after the credit is paid off.

The A5 is the range level release, leaving genuine execution targets to the supercharged V-6–powered S5. (The V-8–powered, track-superb RS5 is away until further notice.) Those who can evade more critical power and are basically examining for a ravishing suit on wheels to obliterate for a night will welcome that the A5 begins at $41,425 and can connect with $50,000 or something to that impact.

Notwithstanding, when Audi discloses to us the last creation keep running of this model is at hazard to “constrained accessibility,” we estimate the base costly autos will be scarcest.

2017 Audi A5 Powertrains and Performance

The Volkswagen Group’s 2.0-liter turbocharged inline-four as utilized as a bit of the A5 has been surveyed at 220 drive since 2014, or nine steeds more than it could gloat in 2010 when it associated as a lower-cost other contrasting option to the underlying 3.2-liter V-6. Straightforwardly the four-chamber is the rule motor in the A5. It mates to either a six-speed manual or an eight-speed tweaked transmission.

We’ve all around revered the manual model, yet for this goodbye street test we had the altered. Make that the “latest” adjusted, since the A5’s past transmission offerings have merged a standard six-speed tweaked (Tiptronic), Audi’s seven-speed twofold handle altered (S tronic), and even the scorned “six-speed” CVT (Multitronic) for a couple of years.

Current turbocharged four-barrels being what they are, this 2.0-liter more than suffices for reliably responsibility and long street trips with a sidekick who likes to get in contact in style. The altered moves as snappy and easily as it does in different Audis, which is to express it’s a grand transmission on the off chance that you should swear off our favored three-pedal setup.

Our tests demonstrate the A5 can get to 60 mph from rest in 6.1 seconds, or 0.1 second snappier than did the 2010 manual release with the in any case, chop down power rating. That time was recorded utilizing the new auto’s composed dispatch control highlight, which is chill on the likelihood that you wind up at a near to drag strip.

Regular drivers are in all likelihood not going to discover much use for it; our 7.5-second “moving begin” 5-to-60-mph time is conclusive of standard driving and is just 0.1 second behind the 241-hp Lexus RC yet trails the BMW 428i xDrive by 1.1 second.

Still, there’s an impressive measure of torque at low rpm, and the short 30-to-50-mph and 50-to-70-mph passing conditions (just a tenth or two behind the BMW’s) mean drivers will feel without question about this force auto’s capacity to proceed onto a quick interstate or shoot around slower activity on the byways.

Brakes tuned for superhighway duty stay one of the credits that pull in individuals to German-check vehicles, and the A5 absolutely passes on wishes, keeping from 70 mph in just 149 feet and showing essentially slight cloud over rehashed utilize. Grippe Pirelli P Zero tires on 19-inch wheels help, as well.

They besides add to the A5’s phenomenal skidpad figure of 0.95 g (the 2010 dealt with a to some degree chop down 0.91 g). This is reflected in this present reality with simple, even fun, trips around cloverleaf interstate slants and on bowed two-way streets.

Both braking and cornering may be by a wide edge better if Audi by some methods happened than understand how to pare a section of the A5’s 3713 pounds of check weight it’s decently the regard one pays for the security of Quattro all-wheel drive, yet the more present BMW is 33 pounds lighter with everything taken into account wheel-drive shape. Audi says it will utilize more aluminum to shave mass for 2017 yet, as in the new A4 (which got lighter), the four-chamber’s motor piece will even now be heavier solid metal.
