The Gle 53 competes with the x5 50i and the sq7 which both have v8. Gle 63s would compete with the x5m and the rsq7. So he’s not wrong at all. Mercedes decided to use a i6 instead of a v8 for this model.
I have S550 which has been great for me for last 12 years and still going strong. I am looking at GLE 53 SUV AMG now... I looked at one at the dealer today and they look great.. Not too big / nor small.
The 53 is a bit faster, with the bmw 40 I doing like 5.3 sec to 60. The 53 is doing 4.7 sec to 60 but they’re very different cars. One tailored to luxury and the other to sport. 53 being more sporty and 40i more luxury
It seems pretty comparable to my Aviator which we just sold in favor of the gle63s which should give us the power/performance that the Lincoln just couldn't provide.
@@dwnshft Ha yep I know it's quite a bit more than the AMG53 until you look at all the items that come standard with the 63s that are options on the 53. I'm sure the 53 is just as luxurious and rock-solid as the 63 so for people who don't need the ridiculous (but entertaining) power the 53 is a great choice..:) We've had our 63 now for almost a month and all I can say is dang, what an awesome vehicle! Like a luxury lounge inside a bank vault strapped to a rocket! Very impressed so far.
Whoever had the idea to make the mercedes e63 amg s 6 cylinders and the c63 amg s 4 cylinders is the BIGGEST idiot EVER. They already lost a lot of customers for those 2 model cars. Very sad and upsetting at the same time.
@@Breadacusyes because he didn’t like the ride, doesn’t matter if he tried it first or not, he said the ride sucked and that’s his opinion. He still would have disliked the ride, regardless if he bought it or not idiot.
Our 2024 Mercedes GLE53 broke down at 3900 miles and will be at the dealership for 1 month+ waiting for parts! I really regret buying it and will never buy a Mercedes again!
GLE 53 is underpowered which unfortunately ruins the entire package given it's LESS comfortable than a GLE 63S since it doesn't have the active air suspension and has the smaller breaks which are not capable of braking this at high speeds in emergency situations.
@@S24Ultra-mt2bg it doesnt make all the difference because youre still gonna feel body roll either way in SUVs. it doesnt make it quicker either, thats just wrong
@@user-um3fx2vk8rNo one is talking about body roll. The 53 rides extremely harsh without the active anti roll bars making it a joke. It's uncomfortable and slow. The 63S is more comfortable and faster and the 580 is even more comfortable than that, smokes the 53, and is 10k less fully optioned. The 53 is a poser car.
Special thanks to our Patreons for their support of the channel! GLE53 or SQ8 or X5 M60i?
I really like the 53 but I also like the m60. I’d go with m60 though but question. Would you take 53 or bmw 40i?
I think it's an unfair comparison because you are comparing a V6 vs V8! The real comparison would be between AMG 63 and the others V8!

Or maybe the GLE580, which has a Twin-Turbo V8, which is a detuned version of the AMG 63S engine.
I just bought one 5 days ago! love it !
Still like it?

How is it now
What is it like in comfort mode? Do you get a nice comfortable ride?
I have a question, isn't the X5 Xdrive 40i compared to this GLE 53 since they both have the in-line 6?

You made the right choice

You’re comparing 53 instead of 63 , and Q8 instead of GLE Coupe

Get the 53 hybrid instead. Looks like a good package.
Nope - Akku is heavy !! Other reaction from the car ! - drove them
I bought one and returned it in two weeks. The ride is BRUTAL. Got a 2024 GLE580
You didn't test drive it first?
@@Aggressive_Splooge No. Owned many GLE450 didn't realize how bad they make the 53.
@@BrianKushner so you bought a sports vehicle without any consideration on how it might drive differently and yet that somehow makes it bad??
@@Breadacus All I said was for me the ride was brutal. No other things were said.

You can get heated and cooled cup holders in the X5
That monster looks coll asaf.❤❤
The mid year refresh was rather disappointing… the next gen should incorporate a lot of the newer tech that’s coming into the new e class etc
I dunno, the manual is 550pages and the tech crammed into these cars is ridiculous....in a good way..:)
LoL might as well get the gle 450 with AMG appearance package.
Go AMG 63 or go bust.
This is a beautiful car!
My guy you left out Porsche ???
Get a 580 for comfort or a 63s or go for a 450 53 makes no sense less comfortable than a 63 and slower than a 580. It's just a bad package
I think you should compare with 63 to be equal
You can get this with a700hp electric 4.0s to 60
Did the tester come with acoustic comfort package?
Our 2024 Mercedes GLE53 broke down at 3900 miles and will be at the dealership for 1 month+ waiting for parts! I really regret buying it and will never buy a Mercedes again!
Why don't you lemon it
definitely unfair comparing v6 to a v8
this car does not compare nor compete with any of the other German v8's.
I miss your British accent.
Mb GLE53

they have the exact same air ride suspension lol the 63 just gets active anti roll bars and engine mounts..
@@user-um3fx2vk8rthe active anti roll bars make all the difference. Without them the 53 drives terribly and already snail slow.
@@S24Ultra-mt2bg it doesnt make all the difference because youre still gonna feel body roll either way in SUVs. it doesnt make it quicker either, thats just wrong
