The speaker system is the Mercedes-Benz premium audio.
The interior has leather look, is spacious and the back seat offers good legroom.
Not all like the faux leather seating, they could be more supportive and the padding could be softer.
The MBUX system is older, unlike Benz's newest display. It is not a "waterfall" display.
The driver can use touch on the screen, or a touch pad, which rests next to the dial selector.
The steering wheel is not an AMG line steering wheel. The paddle shifters control the Regen braking on this car.
This review notes its good points, the spaciousness, longer range of the batteries, practicality and that some of the materials are quality, compared with other luxury brands. It also notes that those things must be weighed against other similar vehicles such as other models on the market which are around the same price range but which offer substantially more power and additional features. Also the review says it would be welcome to have that model with AMG, because it has a "tough sale" compared with the standard gas models. The model as tested had a sticker price around the $60,000 dollar range.
