luverly...bit worried at 1:30 when Ryan jumps into the back of the car and it lurches back and forth like the park brake is off....does the same when he jumps out at about 1:39....

[@jaxxbrat2634]

My Benz ML does the same thing

[@patdonnellan1024]

[@ArcAngelofAir]

[@YuriLM]

[@radokenen9048]

[@patdonnellan1024]

[@Sp3ll633]

X5 Hybrid and MErcedes GLC Hybrid, Price diffrence is over 20.000 euros, Why is that so???

[@threesidedtriangle1798]

I'm pretty sure the X5 competes with the GLE, not the GLC. The GLC is more comparable to the X3.

[@RoadRallyLife]

I owned this car for a year, it didn't do many things well - it was a terribly underpowered hybrid, and a mediocre BMW at best. The only car I've ever owned that left me stranded. The new X5 hybrid seems to hit the mark though.

[@horiachifor6726]

Hello! I am looking into buying a used one. Could you please tell me if it had many technical issues? Has it been in the service a lot? Thank you!

[@lowerlevel2398]

Wouldn't the office have to be within ten miles in order to drive home EV?

[@jaxxbrat2634]

20 mile range is kinda useless to me

[@drewyager4020]

[@infidel900rr]

terrible, not one acceleration test, no behind the wheel feel of power and braking, WTF did you review?

[@hollowedricecakes3085]

I'm late to this comment, and while you aren't entirely wrong he definitely gave a great overview of the cars features and design.
