  • Hey bo seveni! Please note, it's R1 964 600 for this car. My apologies, I'm a little fuzzy brained lately. Secondly, this car is stunning and all, yet the pricing is a little alarming for me, considering what you can get for the money.
    Do let me know what you think of this review and what you are keen to see next.

    The GLE to go for is the 450d .... I can only imagine how much that is 😢😢😢😢 This one deserves a 3/10 because of that engine .

    But my preference is still Cayenne

  • @thembibaardman538
    @thembibaardman538 Před 2 měsíci +7

    Benz lost the plot when they discontinued the ML for this. The ML was so much more classier, sexier than the replacement GLE. The biggest difference in the two can be seen in the AMG variants of both. Anyway about this, it is over priced. X5 3.0d for me all day long. Thanx for your vids, en your singing has improved by 3.74% from last vid. LOL.

    Mercedes has become too plasticky for my liking as of late. The quality has been declining in their recent models compared to their competitors and predecessors. What annoys me for the most part is that they think all of the fancy technology can make up for it, but it just does not, especially when considering the price you pay for them.

  • @raphaeltladi243

    A V-class is no different, an expensive people mover with a 2.0L diesel, V220d, 250 and 300d all use the same engine. Rather get an X5 for similar price with a 3.0L 6 cylinder diesel, or Discovery, RR Sport. At that price it must be a 6 cylinder for me.

    Absolutely agree with you. How does Mercedes justify that 2M price tag? Also it might not be a good idea to purchase this one considering how quickly it depreciates in value. I'm also disappointed with the power plant they decided to go with. They could have have atleast mated it with a 3L v6. I mean... the car is big!

  • @mf_dlomo
    @mf_dlomo Před měsícem

    What Mercedes is banking on here is that in this section of the market, the people buying the vehicles know what they want and are brand loyal. In that, if they are going for the GLE, this is not their first Mercedes and they have most likely owned another one down the product lineup and are now brand loyal and moving up the brand as their pockets grow. Additionally, this side of the market is not one for the price-conscious, and most people making purchases already know what they want and are not willing to compromise. Yes, we can make arguments, about the X5, Cayenne, and XC90 being cheaper and giving you more, but ultimately, if I want a Mercedes SUV and I have the money, I'm not going to compromise, because I've worked too hard to not get what I want - that is the customers logic

A 2million rand Mercedes truck and it’s a mid-spec in the manufactures range (e-class). Mind you electric cars are coming so why would you spend that much when the EQ ntoni ntoni will cost another arm & leg. Haiska ‼️
