This car is just amazing, trust me, it is even more amazing in person and catches everyone’s eye. Drives fantastic and has the amazing combination of agressive sportiness while simultaneously being extremely luxurious and refined.
I can’t wait for mine im so excited to take mine to La and Vegas one day and do some photo shoots and paddle shifters 😍 and the seats comfortable for my back lol
Fun Fact: If you see a solid front badge like that, then the car is equipped with the auto pilot features. They hide some of the required sensors behind/inside that emblem. If you look close you can see defrost lines to keep snow from building up on it. If you see a normal 3D plastic badge or the one that illuminates then the vehicle is not equipped with the auto pilot package.
This car is a beast and the best part is you can get this monster for around $80-$85K if you limit some of the over the top options. Great review as always Joe
I got mine brand new for 86 grand with the autopilot option as well as most of the standard options like a sunroof and heated and cooled seats with only about 60 miles on it. I’ve had it for a month and I love it! Not a coupe but the color is blue
Wow how can you get it so cheap? I paid $108 for my 2022 and it didn’t have this exhaust but still sounded nice and paying $128 for my 2023 I have ordered. But if I can get it for less money elsewhere please let me know!
Any Mercedes with an AMG badge is incredible just like the GLE 53. Who wouldn't want one of these bad boys? I'm sure it's a blast ripping around through the snow with the killer sound system on maximum volume! Great review and awesome cam work by Lori!!
I am glad that Mercedes gives you roof rails as standard on all trims of the GLE. Porsche literally makes you pay a bunch for roof rails on all trim levels of the Cayenne. Even when the starting price of some Cayennes are like over $100,000!!
Great review. I'm gonna zonk a couple of your one-liners though. Waiting for delivery of this vehicle in canvasite Blue in late March. Can't wait. You are right about the confidence behind the drive in the 53. I test drove the 350, 450, and the 53. I felt like I had been driving the 53 my whole life with just the one test drive. Instantly sold my wife and I.
That one intersection proclaimed that, 'Joe was here'. AMG is always fun, though I prefer the interior colours of that Avalon more, which is weird. Thanks for the awesome video, Lori! Subject matter is worth it.
I think that you should wait for like a 3 days or 4 before posting another video. You cant get high views number when you add 3 videos a day. Thats just my opinion. Keep the good work and keep us entertained. You are the best
Love the quality of the AMG interiors. That screen must be the width of 2 Jersey Mike’s subs. Much better than the older style. dual screens. Joe you can easily crush your peanut m&ms getting into that 3rd row! Hopefully there is room for a jar of jelly and you’re good to go. Great video as usual.!
Man oh man oooooooooh maaaaaaaan!!! This Merc is something else bruh!!! I love it!!! Performance, hauling capability, technology out the wazoo and that sinister look and sound has me sold!!! #RaitisRides #OnThrottle #ToTheDoorPanel #TwinkiesForDays #OnThrottleAgain #LoriGotAngles #CameraQueen #Zonkmeister #CrownVic #OnThrottleAllDay #IfYoureReadyImReady #Mercedes_AMG #GLE_53
The 3rd row is a spur-of-the moment option in case you have extra kids. Also Mercedes pays homage to their older vehicles with little easter eggs. The first gen ML had third row seats. The true 7 seater would go to the GL/GLS
I think my dad will love this car. I'll suggest this one for him since he really interested in GLE's. I have a great feeling that my dad will love the black on this one
This engine right here is the best thing MB is making IMO, like smart people they just took their already good 2.0T and put 2 more cylinders on it. The 3.0 V6 is the 4.0 V8 with 2 less cylinders. Just curious which engine they decide to keep and move forward with, hopefully the I6 for its smoothness. Also currently the I6 is E class exclusive, whether we are talking about the sedan, coupe, convertible or crossover (GLE). I personally would go for the non AMG version simply because I'm more of a grand touring driver but none the less, still a powerhouse and still probably the smoothest torque delivery in their whole lineup
I’ve had really nice cars over many years but none as good as my 2021 Emerald Green AMG GLE 53 which I’ve had for 8 months now. I usually change my cars every 4 years or so but my AMG GLE has everything I could ask for and so this could well be the first time I’ve stayed with the same vehicle for more than 4 years. I get a buzz every time I get behind the wheel, regardless of what mood I’m in. BTW he made no mention of the “Hey Mercedes” MBUX system 🤷🏼♂️ Check it out, you’ll be glad you did 🥰 Vancouver,BC Canada
Congrats Martin! Love ur choice of the emerald green, just ordered mine in that color last month, may I ask if u paid msrp or more, over a yr ago? Currently in my area dealerships r asking 15 k or over msrp on 53’s what options u have and love and what options u didn’t think was necessary on urs? Greatly appreciate any input from a current owner of this 53 amg beauty,,I’m waiting for mine, around another 5 months for arrival..
@@RaitisRides the majority of New cars that don't include fog lights usually have three "whys": 1. price; usually apllies to cheaper cars 2. Cooling; the car uses the space for performance upgrades 3. LEDs; led light goes through fog very easily cause it's more focused and brighter, making fog lights extras, only usefull on very heavy fog. Hope I helped!
1 more thing. Here's a merch idea for sweatshirts and hoodies. Have em say "Boy Oh Boy!" w/ your awesome logo! Love your channel and your deserve the best my dude!
Wait... you breezed over this in .4 seconds. I’m paying $105k+ with upgrades for a 429hp performance vehicle... that’s seriously limited to 112mph? What the hell was Mercedes thinking?! I’m literally looking to buy at this moment and that speed makes this a complete non-starter. Leave it to the German manufacturers to tell you what you want as a customer.
Lots of stuff for lots of money. The third row would stay down if it were mine, but I’d need to win the lottery first. Thanks for sharing it Joe. Well done! 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸
fyi... 0-60 is not 4.7 its 5.3 and my dealer spoke to MB headquarters and said that the C&D article is wrong! the Car is not governed 112 mph it's governed to 155 mph (in the united states) and that's officially from Mercedes Benz...
Another great video. Interior is amazing. Joe don’t put the car direct sunlight cuz you can’t see the ambient lights in this car which really makes you feel like you in Vegas in this car 😜
Hello there, I am italian (from Torino). We ordered one a couple of months ago with delivery expected for next April/May. The Mercedes seller told us there may be delays due to the Covid. I would like to know if you have any information on the production of the Mercedes factory in Tuscaloosa: are they producing? Will the factory be closed again? Thanks!
I used to enjoy your videos when you were first starting out, you sounded honest and unbiased. Now your videos are just advertisements / sales pitches.
Wait hold on you have ventilated cup holders and no ventilated seats. Maybe i missed it , I know this car about $96,000 at that price point you should have everything it should parallel park itself too. Wonder if it has remote control start.
Umm 112 mph governor? Just knowing that. At least you get the Amg steering wheel that’s new on Amgs that don’t start with a 6. Still not sold . Unless the engine is signed something is always missing and the amg is just a package.
You couldn’t truly stress these engines, unless you use them on track day EVERY weekend.....where can take this to the redline beyond gear 3 consistently? You’d be doing close to 85-90mph at that point

Hey Adam! That is a great piece of info.
Distronic is the term that you are looking for
Thank you! I couldn’t figure out why my front badge didn’t light up!
theres no autopilot on mercedes
It may just be this car. My 2021 e 53 has a solid black badge and no auto pilot

Joe Raiti and the whole team really workin' hard giving us great content every time. Appreciate it man! Keep it up!
Thanks Ryan for taking the time to say that! I really appreciate your support!
love this channel .. presenting a professional that stands out from the rest..
Love the wide body and stance. MB is killing it on the design and of course with the seamless I6 mild hybrid powertrains. Thanks Joe.
I am so glad that you like this one.
This guy is an incredible salesman, cheers to you sir
He looks very honest and fun to be around. Love his reviews, he makes it very pleasant.

I totally agree with you!
One of my pet peeves about my 3-row SUVs is the cramped third row. I'd rather just have it as two rows and have extra cargo space.
Joe you always do great reviews and make me laugh at the same time. Love the Suv with great looks and power.
Thank you so much for saying that! I am soglad that I can share the laughs and the cars with you!

For a $100k, the top speed restriction is a disappointment...simply NOT cool... nice video JOE
I feel your pain Michel! Thanks for the compliment.
"It's all about the pineapples" lol! Thanks for the zing and zany humor you add to your reviews.

It's hilarious that this vehicle has a 3rd row, even by looking the size of the back of the vehicle like a Rav4 or CRV.
So tight the 3rd row
its optional luckily
I think they have the 3rd row optional so that they don't lose the sale to a bigger or cheaper, 7/8 seater SUV from the competition.
The 3rd row is a spur-of-the moment option in case you have extra kids. Also Mercedes pays homage to their older vehicles with little easter eggs. The first gen ML had third row seats. The true 7 seater would go to the GL/GLS
My uncle has this car
Its largggeee
I think my dad will love this car. I'll suggest this one for him since he really interested in GLE's. I have a great feeling that my dad will love the black on this one
Yea you shall definitely get one I think he will really like it I saw it 2 weeks ago in real life 👍
I love the color of this SUV! Great job Joe.
The BEST or nothing 💪🇩🇪
Very good review 😀
I'm a BMW X5 Fan Boy to the max! But the exterior of this Monster is crazy mad Hot! Straight up! I just may test drive one....
Lmao at the tire marks at 19:36 from your previous smoke em if you got em burn outs! Keep marking your territory man!
Good eyes!
I love the CLS 53 and 63 AMGs never looked at the SUVs but this looks awesome!
I am so glad that I could share this one with you!
I was actually debating between the GLE and the GLE Coupe. I'd love to see a 2021 AMG GLE Coupe review. I didn't know the GLE had a third row option.
You got it Xavier! I will get that together for you.
@@RaitisRides that's great i appreciate that. Gotta know if I can fit more twinkies in the coupe

I appreciate you taking the time to say that Michael!

@@RaitisRides She’s better than Big Guns and Victor so they better watch out or maybe they should watch and learn😇😇😇
You forgot to show the 2nd row power seats the controls are on the door
Thanks for that info.
No ventilated seats at this price point?
Trust me I feel your pain!
the GLE doesn't have ventilated rear seats. It's a bummer. It's on the GLS though
I think it’s an option
it comes with certain seat options. even the 150k+ mercedes lose the ventilated option if you chose the sports seats option
I have ventilated seats on my 35K Mazda CX-5. Luxury is in the eye of the beholder 😂

Yes it does.
Question. I’m looking at this and an Audi. Performance wise is this better than a Q8 but not quite as good as a SQ8?
I am a MB guy. But it’s MBUX is not user friendly at all. Tried IDrive, much easier to use
I totally agree with you
any chance go reviewing a GLE580? trying to decide between GLE580 & GLE53 AMG... great video by the way!
Umm 112 mph governor? Just knowing that. At least you get the Amg steering wheel that’s new on Amgs that don’t start with a 6.
Still not sold . Unless the engine is signed something is always missing and the amg is just a package.
lots of dealers mark up this car. Almost cost the same as a X5M.... its a great car if its not marked up like crazy
I've been waiting for this one... but I think the coupe version looks better in the 53/63s

Apparently many ppl just lease these cars because after 5 years they begin to break down or have problems.
This is very true!
Turbo charged: increased stress on said engine.
This is true.
You couldn’t truly stress these engines, unless you use them on track day EVERY weekend.....where can take this to the redline beyond gear 3 consistently? You’d be doing close to 85-90mph at that point
@@Dia_FW, I've witnessed many vehicles consistently exceeding 85 mph on the highways, LOL. Wouldn't trust those turbo engines regarding longevity, though.
