I don't mind the plastic door pockets. In my car, that area is always a mess and it's always getting dirt on it from my shoes. Being plastic just makes it easier to clean.
Great teamwork guys. More reviews please! The passenger, despite being under the weather, seems to have paid more attention to the minor but important details during the presentation. I'm grateful for those details. Subscribing.
Given that you two were searching for technology to discuss - you probably should have described the quality of the audio system. I drive a GLC, and the Burmester audio was an important deciding factor for me.
My guess about the hard plastic on the lower parts of the doors...... for family’s using it for outdoor pursuits - horse riding, Motocross, Mountain biking, etc i.e. getting in and out with muddy/dirty footwear.
could you please ask what is the wading depth of the new GLE? The old was rated to 2 ft, a lot less than discovery and range rover sport that can ford a smidge less than 3 ft of water...
Overall a very good looking SUV, at least in this trim. A few concerns, though: the front bumper, the electronic instrument cluster, and a rear bench that seems a bit too low.
I currently own a Benz and have had 5 of them, was excited to drive the gle350. It was the biggest disappointment I’ve ever driven, it struggles to accelerate and struggles to down shift. The engine whines hard when accelerating, sounds like a cheap car struggling. Not sure what Mercedes was thinking but for the first time in years I’ll be skipping the Benz. The GLE450 with adaptive cruise and real leather will cost you over 81k, the price of a Range Rover or Porsche or the bigger GLS450. The tech screen were very nice but the plastics were much cheaper feeling than the old version. Driving the Volvo XC90 after this made the Mercedes seem like a rip off, Volvo has real leather, more autonomous driving features and they are standard not expensive options. Also the Volvo has 60hp more horsepower and was 10k less, I guess my current Benz will be my last. I see why the e300 was a flop in the US, the engine is way underpowered.
There are gorgeous rivals like the audi Q8, the new lincoln aviator or the still great range rover sport with a new in-line 6 cylinder 400hp. I'd skip the new GLE as well as long as I need to replace my audi Q7.
I personally am not a fan of the design. The plastic cladding is horrible, and the fake air vents are obviously. I'm also not a fan of the side view. It just looks oddly proportioned. Mercedes exterior designs are either a hit or miss.
Go for the GLE - if u want a lazy ass drive around town being cushioned and pampered. Be a man and drive the X5, sporty inside and out, also track it :) lol
the rear of the '19 X5 is also oddly proportioned. the rear bumper sticks out in a manner that makes the rear look disproportionate! still an attractive SUV but i wanted to point that out!
Naturally a lease only vehicle. If you purchase this vehicle, you will be committing seppuku in a NY-minute, due to unfixable electrical gremlins, high maintenance costs and very high depreciation rate.
Engineered like no other car in the world. Mercedes Benz, the best or nothing!
This suv 🚙 is absolute stunner!
Luv the look of this suv

Good on Brian for powering through that
Thanks. Yes I was definitely not feeling good those couple of days.
They Should allow you to rename the MB assistant

Burmester is good!

Nah. That's just Mercedes trying to cut costs and corners wherever they can.
Hopefully the production version will have soft touch for the bottom of the door.
It'll be okay
I dunno? We have a 2004 ml350, maybe it’s time to get rid of it and get a gle350?

base suspension, base engine - best configuration

Very nice
Hey Zack, I bet no one under the age of 40 caught your 1970's classic TV show "Emergency" reference at the 09:10 videomark😏😏
I guess a reference to CHiPS would have been lost as well 😊

You guys definitely have a Ponch and Jon vibe together. 7 Mary 3 and 7 Mary 4.
Will the 21 or 22 inch wheels make the road noise worse?
Fabulous!
Mercedes should make a truck version of this, bet they would sell a ton of those if they do in America.
There is a truck version which I saw in South Africa 6 weeks ago, called the X-Class
price difference between 350 and 450 7 passenger?
The healthy guy got the throat infection at the end of filming..lol
It looks good

Here’s the review, more car in this one. 2020 Mercedes-Benz GLE Review - The World's Most Advanced SUV czcams.com/video/9OYMUF7PL1w/video.html
@@EverydayReviews2022 Thanks great review.
The basic looks are horrible but expected for 1 and 2nd year

JTL2017 - that’s why u buy the new 2019 X5 instead

I only lease any luxury vehicles.
@@EverydayReviews2022 So which cars did you guys bit the bullet, and purchased?
that goes for any modern luxury vehicle dude!! they all break and when they do you will break the bank!!
@@denziiey Except Lexus, Genesis or Acura.
@@solid1378 Sure! I can't speak for Genesis and Acura but I'm well aware of Lexus.
Leasing would be the only option, if I had to finance I'd go with a Honda CRV due to reliability.
Acura MDX, or Lexus RX for me. Not a Honda.
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Goofy bastards. Why not wait a day or two to do this non-time sensitive review. Totally unprofessional.
when you look at the front brakes, you don't want to buy this heavy SUV with such a small brake caliber..
poor Mercedes
Honestly, I would pick Toyota Landcruiser over it!
BMW X5 is way more better
