Production of Mercedes-Benz in China - Build W212 E-Class
Damn, I had a post all typed why, for a reason didn t seem to get anyone else having this problem posted.
Regarding the construction uality 213 for the EU market is being built on the same lines and in the same plants as the 212, 211 and 210 before before knowledge MB of retention, it is built with a very high proportion of the workforce that built 210 too Thus, the build quality is almost as close to being a control sample that you can hope to get in Industrie- same plant line , Workforce.
The only things that have changed in the intervening years are the styling design which parts look like, the underlying technology that the parts are made of how they're made or engineering standards haven of peace t work standards and environmental MB have changed significantly in the last decade, they embellished their electrical architecture and introduces a little more CPUs in the car, but other than that the test standards for literally everything about the car is the same as that in 2000 A D.
Thus, the build quality of the quality of the assembly process is as near as dammit the same in all E-klasse almost as long they have been called as the quality of engineering design are the same standards engineering reinforced that leaves only the style and technology such as electronic lighting adoption versus filament or discharge; plastic boot lid or in the rear floor pan, as opposed to steel; using thinner metal parts with metal mass dampening of the body instead of thicker gauge not German practice, just an example, one can argue the quality of different technologies, but one thing to inside everything is vrai-, it moves only forward vs. Plastic lens glass headlights for example; the completion of the current style with the glass would be quite prohibitive for purposes of cost only, despite the technical problems regarding the making stable structure.
Manufacturers must make a profit and that impacts on what they do.
History shows that the class E of Mercedes W123 to W211 is past production on engineering cars available to a few, for cars that are not as good and available to all.
The W210 has not been an improvement on the W124 W123 in terms of build quality and reliability I know there will be owners argue that their cars have caused the problem The W210 is a car that has become accessible at all and it came at a cost Mercedes reputation as she suffered from rust, poor electrical and material quality.
The W211 is a step forward in making Mercedes back to the quality of the car was solid construction and materials are better, but it still suffers from electrical problems Other gremlins.
The W212 Mercedes seems to have returned to the roots and really moved forward the W211 interms of quality and reliability of the car seems proof constructed.
The W213 is a game changer as it seems to be today's reference for adjusting the inner quality and finish Regarding time will tell but Mercedes reliability have returned to their roots, which learned of all class S filtered on the beach.
I remember my 190E interms of quality, fit, finish and feel like it was cut from the solid rock was not different from the way my dad felt S300.

My point is, manufacturers simply abandon their test criteria and design standards, because we have to make cheaper cars, simply doesn t happen the contrary, they look at how the car is set and that the market will bear at different levels.
Manufacturers do not say, we need to make a profit, design a car that can do it; they look at what's around, what the competition is and come up with a car that can achieve market share, and from that time how they can design advantage in this reverse They do not because " they have a set of very Regulation proscription what the car is legally and also make test criteria internal design standards proscription that all must be followed for the company to release the production of this design plants.
Example C-segment is divided into standard and Premim A good example of each is the Golf at the Standard, and A3 as premium When the current A class was launched, it has become an A3 competitor but not for the Golf Intended to another the market sector.
When Mo had their market share in the 70's and until mid-late 80's there was really nothing to touch What happened was, the markets took people began waiting in their cars more, So for less money MB began to take planning decisions and layout based on it - they contest their share of the market in certain segments of class E, executive family car D-segment top line or they give up they chose to challenge.
Around this time, some technologies have started to become available in a way that undermines the traditional techniques So instead of materials of hard plastic dashboard grained, soft feeling is high flame or molded 2K has a different opinion on finishing adjustment inside the car, radically different in cost of parts quality factory are not different because they are all tested to the same standards and must attain a certain minimum score to compete in order to be something that is allowed-policed by the different quality customer-facing teams.
So perhaps the question concerns PQ Perceived Quality rather than build quality If yes, then it is a very subjective thing and dependent strongly the year of accumulation; take the dashboard by way of example, the comparison of an array of wooden board on a metal injection molded hard to touch one, an injection molded soft touch with a skin smooth leatherette, a hard plastic PQ will always be the worst possible, but could very well have the highest build quality.

W212 vs W213 Mercedes-Benz build quality Owners Forums, W212, W213, build.
