I swear Joe, you really are the best. If it's garbage, you say it's garbage. If it's great, you say it's great. How you don't have a hundred million subscribers is beyond me. A true artist is not recognized in their own lifetime. Love the "real reviews". Keep'em coming!
It drives like a dream and is very smooth. Torque and transmission (gearing) are more important than just HP. It is also efficient. By comparison, I test drove a competitor- it was a 5.6 liter, V8 cylinder with ~400 HP. The GLE is .10th of a second quicker 0-60. That other vehicle also gets 13 MPG in the city. GLE all the way.
Joe your the hardest working reviewer on CZcams! Pumping out the reviews and maintaining the high quality! You don't sugar coat anything. Just the facts !
North of $60,000 for an SUV with a 4 cylinder engine (Turbo or not who cares) and fake exhaust is a bit insane. It's a nice car, they drive nice and it's stylish. We drove one yesterday but couldn't make a deal so we will head back to Lexus. One thing about Mercedes, their service is awful. Their sales people are crooks in suits.
Adam Weaver Mercedes isn’t what it used to be. The brand has been largely commodified with their bloated product line. I have much more respect for brands like Honda and Volvo that don’t saturate the market with a million different models.
I’m thinking of getting this car once my E Class lease is up. However it blows my mind how this car added up to $70k and it’s a 4 cylinder. If I’m paying $70k I would definitely be getting the 6 cylinder (GLE450).
@@Dana_inc The GLE350starts at $57,000 Base and the GLE450 starts at $62,000. My 2021 GLE350 with the options I selected was $65,000 and my Wife's 2020 GLE450 with her options was $77,000.
A question: Does every car have to get “longer and wider” to get better? Isn’t that what the next model up in a car line gives you? Can’t it just get lighter and quieter and safer and more drivable and more efficient? The clogged freeways here in southern cal are filled with longer and wider, and even as they make the freeways wider, it just takes longer to get anywhere. I think maybe smaller and narrower might be the way to go?
Another great review! I love the tech and design in MB cars, but come on guys, for this kind of money get rid of that black plastic in the grill and the fake exhaust tips.
This is probably a very underrated channel. Your reviews are great. Keep up the good work man ! Any chances of seeing a Ford Everest/Endeavor on the channel ?
This design language is terrific bu the tech inside especially with the voice activated virtual response and the lcd board across the dash is going to be astronomical when warranty is over could you imagine what the cost will be in 6 years as a used vehicle thats the problem that we are all going to suffer in the future i think the engineers need to slow it down a bit in my oponion
I was actually going for the ML350, but realized it been discontinued or something, so I been reading review on the GLE350 and your video is awesome! Hopefully I make will make up my mind before the fourth of July and makes it my own independence day gift to myself
Tom Sawyer they just renamed the ML to GLE. I have the 2013 ML350 Diesel. Differences in styling is subtle but the engine difference is huge. 455 ft lbs of torque and I get 30 mpg on the highway.
Must say not having buttons to drop seats at the hatch is incredible at this price point. Even your cheapo korean SSUV's have this. Probably not enough to be a showstopper in itself but gives me ALLOT of pause as to what other engineering misgivings are present throughout the rest of this vehicle. Why would anybody buy this? At this price, one can by a loaded BMW X5 M with the 350 HP inline six that has legendary reliability and performance. It will destroy this thing. Saw a video of a X5 going 170 mph in Germany. A freaking SUV.
I showed my dad one of these at a dealership and he loved if... but the fact that the one i showed him was 60k wasnt for him... but it was a nice car..
Raiti's Rides and I really appreciate you making the video😁 Just keep pumping them out and I'll be sure to keep watching! Btw, I just saw in another one of your vids that you were a teacher?! That puts you up a whole other level in my book... respect!
@2:00 The black plastic "that does not do anything" is like that for aerodynamics to reduce drag.... If you said I don't know why they made it like this, I would respect.
Will using the touchscreen while driving make you an distracted driver. So I think it's best to use the touchpad while driving. Then use the touchscreen while parked. Just safety precautions.
Nice review . Really nice vehicle it looks bigger inside than I thought still not sure if compact suv is what I want I like the gas 450 ..love driver assistance and technology and safety will be test driving Mercedes . Thanks for the review
Nicer styling than the BMW X5 but the handling and feel is a bit numb on the GLE and it's not necessarily more comfortable or quiet. The X5 seems to have that magical balance between comfort and sportiness. Even better would be an similarly equipped Porsche Cayenne V6.
Try it... if no one told you, you probably wouldn't know it was a 4 cylinder. In Europe, there were S Classes with less powerful engines. Besides, that's why Mercedes makes the 350,450, 580, and 63 along with diesel power trains in other markets... there's something for everybody.
It has plenty of power for a 4 cylinder when you put it in S or S plus. This model the GLE350 is more about getting good gas milege but it still has good pick up. Test drive it and you will see.
its a nice SUV but its very pricey here in Singapore the authorized dealer has the GLE400 and it cost $349,888 and the price to performance gets smack in the face by the Jaguar F pace 3.0 V6 Supercharged R-Sport which is around 312 grand. I wonder if anyone will be interested in the F Pace? I saw it in a parking lot and it was stunning in the Velocity Blue
Stupid question maybe, but what happens if you break the screen or the electric dies (let’s be real...electric issues happens with Mercedes) and your screen doesn’t work? Do you just play the guessing game with how fast you are going and everything else until you can get someone to replace or fix your screen/electrical? I guess it’s not that different from when one of our old cars had the gas gauge break and we had to guess when the fuel was about to be gone, but still. The technology seems amazing, but I would be so anxious of driving and having that whole computer screen just blacking out on me.
With the AMG LINE w/NIGHT PACKAGE, the exterior looks elegant! This model you reviewed does not have the option. And btw, I am disappointed(like you) that there was no control in the trunk for the seats to go down. The CHEAPER GLC model HAS those controls! It just doesn’t make sense.
Safety features like BSI (Blind Spot Indicator) are standard. You do not have have to get all the options. Get the base model without the massive sunroof.
But only 255 hp/270 torque for that price?! Even honda pilot has 280 hp/260 torque these days... why would they put 4 cylinder in a premium luxury midsize SUV that weighs 5000lbs?
In the us - definitely GLE compared to X5, the GLE just looks better, plus the Range Rover sport is much more priced than those - if you want a Land Rover - go for the velar
A loaded BMW X3 with discounts gets close to this level of build for a hell of allot less money. You buy this and you lose 20K driving off the lot. Mercede's does not discount like BMW does. That's why I went with the newly designed X3 xDrive and its a great SSUV.
@@iquattro1167 Yes but go to one of the larger Penske dealerships. They are a huge volume dealership. The one I used was North Scottsdale BMW in AZ. I live in New Mexico and didn't like my local dealer for many reasons. But when I shopped online I found TWO models I was looking for at that dealer. The one I wanted had the mocha leather, luxury package, nav, panoramic roof, xDrive all the safety sensors, 19 inch wheels, Harnon Kardon/sub upgrade, etc.. I think they had over 100 X3's at that time on the lot. And they are very organized and and very aggressive to get you the best price. My local dealer hates penske and even told me so lol. But I got two rebates for financing (put half down), another thousand dollars rebate because I owned a 2012 Sentra (go figure but there was something they actually did to do that), and over 2K dealer discount. It all came to just over 7 grand less. They even had somebody go to my house in New Mexico to do all the signing along with some email signing etc.. Dealer organized NM title and sales tax. All I had to do was hire a transport online to bring vehicle to house. That unfortunately is the cost of not having a penske dealer in town. That was 600 dollars. Everything went smooth as butta. The X3 has been a great SSUV. This latest generation really stepped it up several notches from the old model in 2018. The bi turbo and ZF 8 speed is a beautiful tune. IMO, BMW perfected the SSUV in this model. All the weak points on this benz are non existent in the bimmer. Quality coming out of the plant in South Carolina is impressive. And they are one of the biggest exporters of cars in the United States. Now at the Mercedes dealership the sales person said sorry we don't have much margins to work on and can't really offer any discounts. They quickly pissed me off and I left with them at my heals begging me to stay lol. But they still offered absolutely NOTHING. From what I'm hearing from owners and reviewers the X3 is a smart buy. Its a well engineered SSUV with good reliability. Plus its gets great MPG. I get the advertised MPG. 23 city and 30 HWY. This was well executed by BMW and top of class for a premium SSUV. I've even told owners of the new Accura RDX that they made a HUGE mistake. In base trim the RDX makes sense. But the advanced model (top of line) still fails in build and materials next to my X3. It's not at the same level . Not even remotely so. And fools pay up to 45K for for a loaded RDX. Not saying everyone may get the same killer deal I did but its worth a try. Much rather pay 47K and get the real deal then a Japanese wannabe Premium SSUV. Plus the BMW will get you better performance and much better MPG's then the Accura. BMW really knows how to make high performance boosted motor with good MPG. In fact the Germans in general make really good small boosted motors. The only multi gear transmission I trust in modern cars is from ZF. And the one in the X3 is made in Belgium.
@@RaitisRides Means a lot that you're the one replying to my comment. Thank you. Would the less space in the back seat be an issue? We were also looking at the Audi Q8, I know its more coupey but ooh lord that things look good!
It's a bit annoying that MB and Audi do not incorporate fog lights on the fronts of their SUV's, rather than just blank flat plastic. They should be told that it would only add class to their designs and be more practical for the drivers... After all they charge for their vehicles, adding $100 fog lights won't matter much.. :(
A beautiful car but hardly a difference from my 2013 Mercedes Ml350 blue tech diesel. I love it and right now you can’t get anything else like it in a Mercedes. The engine difference is huge. 455 ft lbs of torque and I get 30 mpg on the highway and 24 around town. The 2020 does not measure up.
The fact that you even mentioned exhaust tip location is a big turnoff. Why not point out the size of the glove box too. How about size of door storage in the back? Buyers of these cars don't give a second glance at where the smoke comes out of a car. Focus on more important options.
My BMW X3 Xdrive bi turbo 2.0 cost 47K. And its loaded. Full leather, HK/sub stereo, full digital dash with all the saftey sensors (blind spot warning etc..) 19 inch wheels, panoramic sunroof, real dual exhaust, ZF 8 speed, full digital dash.. basically like this car. About the same amount of HP torque as well. 47K was still too much but that was with 7K in discounts from oem and dealer. Mercedes does not deal much. This SSUV is not worth the MSRP. Not even remotely so. IMO, if you want a German designed SSUV the X3 is a best for the money. And they are very reliable now. The plant in South Carolina makes over 400K vehicles a year. And its one of the biggest car exporters in the US. That plant makes 1400 vehicles a day. I don't think Mercedes has the economy of scale like BMW does. The SC BMW plant is a huge success story for BMW.
HiPlains1 Midsize vs Small SUV🤨 Ofc yours is cheaper, not to mention the interior in the Benz is leagues ahead. I also think the GLC is better than an X3.
It's more than a little bit of a disappointment that M-B would incorporate the use of so much plastic in both the interior and exterior of the car for the asking price. Also the plastic kinda cheapens the M-B legacy, if you know what I mean.
NOT FAIR !!!! Why didn't you ZONK the rear wiper blades for not being tucked under the rear spoiler. then it would have had several ZONKS. you zonk every other brand that does it

Why do you want this SUV over an E class? The E-class drives better and has the same amount of space.

This 4 cylinder SUV drives better than the last model 6 cylinder. I personally can’t tell the difference. I guess it’s based on how you drive.
It’s a German version of a Jeep Grand Cherokee. We have a 2004 ML 350 and I am checking out the GLE350 4 MATIC as it’s replacement.

It drives well... I’m in love with the new explorer though and I’m getting that this summer
I think you will enjoy it!
The 2020 Ford Explorer WITH options will be around $46,000. Spend a little more and buy the GLE.
I wanted to hear the mpg's with that 4 cylinder. Nice video.
Nice little exhaust burble at 7:38. It has some Harley Davidson DNA in it.
LMAO! I was waiting fo someone to say something about that!
Literally couldn’t hear the exhaust with the engine revving 😂 I had my speakers turned all the way up, and nothing! OMG $70k?!?!
This is not a sports car. You want a nice quiet ride. Not a noisy exhaust when driving.
73k for a turbo 4, nope
You know they offer different engines , right ? But if you are counting the price means you can’t afford it.
Do you think the Acura RDX 2020 is a good luxury small SUV?

My BMW X3 Xdrive bi turbo 2.0 cost 47K. And its loaded. Full leather, HK/sub stereo, full digital dash with all the saftey sensors (blind spot warning etc..) 19 inch wheels, panoramic sunroof, real dual exhaust, ZF 8 speed, full digital dash.. basically like this car. About the same amount of HP torque as well. 47K was still too much but that was with 7K in discounts from oem and dealer. Mercedes does not deal much. This SSUV is not worth the MSRP. Not even remotely so. IMO, if you want a German designed SSUV the X3 is a best for the money. And they are very reliable now. The plant in South Carolina makes over 400K vehicles a year. And its one of the biggest car exporters in the US. That plant makes 1400 vehicles a day. I don't think Mercedes has the economy of scale like BMW does. The SC BMW plant is a huge success story for BMW.
I feel your pain!
Great points!
HiPlains1 I am looking at this or he x3. Are you happy with the 4 cylinder x3? Does it ride well? Thank you
HiPlains1 Midsize vs Small SUV🤨 Ofc yours is cheaper, not to mention the interior in the Benz is leagues ahead. I also think the GLC is better than an X3.
Problem is reliability the 2020 Mercedes GLE 350,has had 10 recalls in 2020 already pretty bad engineering and sad.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective!
On the inside is okay but from the outside maybe not okay. But maybe this car is just for regular person, it blends well with other cars.
Thanks for sharing your input and perspective on this!
Awesome job Joe and Tom!! Great reviews as always!! 💪💪
Thanks Dylan! You are the man!
Hey Mercedes, please find us some protein.
AGREED!
Where’s the GLE AMG 53???
73k for fake exhaust ports ..that is outrageous.
How much money do they save with a fake exhaust on a luxury cars ?😝
It's ridiculous what they are doing!
2 liter engine for an SUV of this size.. big NO
Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this one!
Raiti's Rides I'm surely gonna get 450 as my next one
The material and quality go south, the price goes north. Big NO NO!
I love this SUV 🚙 it has my name on it Mercedes 😊💗💓💞💕💖
Few zonks including the price.
Fake exhaust fake air vent....really
Fabulous!
How many major defects will this one have after the warranty expires?
AGREED!
Where was the cold start?
It was there just so quite
It's more than a little bit of a disappointment that M-B would incorporate the use of so much plastic in both the interior and exterior of the car for the asking price. Also the plastic kinda cheapens the M-B legacy, if you know what I mean.
Thumbs up Raiti
Thanks brother! I have some great Ford stuff coming!
@@RaitisRides right on bro.
4 banger.....forget it.
I feel your pain!
It's alright
AGREED!
A beauty
2 litre -4 cylinder engine in such a heavy SUV is stupid. You can see they had to pad the engine bay on the front to hide all the empty space.
Mercedes took my personal tree 🤣🤣🤣
Looks like a 2012 Chevy Equinox.
That look at 11:40 🤣🤣🤣
2020 GLE 350 or 2020 XT6 ?
I'll go GLE
Proof that Mercedes isn't even close to being perfect.....
NOT FAIR !!!! Why didn't you ZONK the rear wiper blades for not being tucked under the rear spoiler. then it would have had several ZONKS. you zonk every other brand that does it
0 to 60 in 7.1 seconds on a Mercedes? My grandma's car is faster than that! LoL!
This is true! What is she driving? ;-)
I would love to have this because my zodiac sign cancer the water sign it is a Cardinal so will I drive this if am a Cardinal sign?
