+xxthehuskycaboosexx Isn't practicality one of the main reasons one buys an SUV? I mean, take the "Utility" out of "Sports Utility Vehicle" and all you have is "Sports Vehicle"... and there are plenty better sports vehicles on the market than this thing.
I saw this car in white coming in front of me and believe me it looks soooo expensive it really looked so wide and big and it looks much more muscular than the X6
I have seen a white GLE coupe in real Life and I think it is better looking than the X6. The front looks more aggressive and the back is a lot more slim than the X6's back. If I had to choose over those two, I would take the GLE. I can't care less if the X6 is better through the corners because an SUV is just about cruising and having a nice comfortable drive.
Yeah, but I am discussing GLE vs X6 which I think are much closer rivals because they have a similar look. But I understand what you mean, I would have Rager Rover over those two vehicles any day...
+Celina Smith Well, you have to see a car in real life before you decide if you are not to fond of the looks. I was a bit unsure when I saw photos of it, but I like the way it looks since I have seen it in real life.
+Matthew Hall Well..i use them all the time for speed dial on my father's car becouse I am from Romania and the Linguatronic doesn't understand any name in my language
the first suv coupe/convertible crossover was a heuliez intruder in 1996 and it was based on a mercedes g-wagon with a slk hartop retractable roof and a mercedes v6 engine
Not a big fan of the SUV-Coupé look since day 1. Just get a normal GLE or X5. Heck, save some cash and get an estate if the toughest terrain you'll ever encounter on your commute to work is a bunch of speed bumps!
I never liked the look of the original X6. It just didn't look good to me. It was too round, and the headlights made it look to "pretty" and what not. It wasn't very aggressive looking, just very round and bulgy/weird. But when i first saw this thing, i immediately fell in love. It's very sporty, aggressive, and sexy. The looks alone convince you its faster and nicer than the X6 imo.
To be fair matts complaints about ride quality, is partly down to the fact it has an AMG kit which gets harsher springs and dampening and it also has 21 inch wheels, which wouldn't help
Katting the x6 hard but other than that i take it all back, i like this car actually, looks lovely in person, looks bigger too and love the front, looks mean and angry,
This car is very good looking, but i dont understand why didnt mercedes use the interior of the normal e class in it? as far as i know the buttons from 1-9 use to be in the older generation mercedes.
The rear infotainment system seems irrelevant nowadays in my opinion. Coz the kids will be busy with their phones and ipads they won't even care for that expensive screens anymore. So nope for me. Rather have the panoramic instead
You should have links to the two vehicles you mention at the end of the video review. I could not click either one in the video itself, and when I clicked the links in the description they only brought me to your review pages instead of the videos I was expecting to be linked to.
I have one question please answer. I'm trying to record reviews/presentations with my phones camera and I have a lavalier microphone.. But how do you record the audio with the video camera???? What is your mic connected to? How is the audio saved? Is the Filmer holding a transmitter???
Ok everyone says that Mercedes is copying BMW by making the GLE. But remember, Mercedes Benz came up with the idea of making the 4 door coupe when it made the CLS. So technically, BMW copied the idea of the 4 door coupe off Mercedes, but made the X6, which is basically a coupe but just higher.
I am a big Mercedes fan, but I have to say, for this type of car class, I would much rather have the X6. And besides the BMW is also much more good looking than the GLE...pfff BMW started the whole new class with the X6 and I think they still are the best with it. But unfortunately Mercedes need their share of the market as well I guess :p
DANGER- Beware of the software update recall which causes the car to turn off while driving and as Mercedes puts it in there recall notes that if this happens-THE CAR CAN CRASH-and the recall started in July of 2016-and that is exactly what happened to my 2016 GLE450 Coupe on July 14, 2016- the car has 5000 miles and was leased in January of 2016-I had the car towed to the closest dealer for repairs after my wife while entering a parking space at about 3 miles an hour had the car turn off and the car rolled into a post causing $4000 US in damage-the car has been at the dealer for 27 days to date-I assumed Mercedes would handle and pay for all the damages but after waiting a week of no phone calls from either the dealer or the main office in New Jersey I had to start calling and complaining as well as having make a claim with my insurance company to begin repairs-again after weeks of no calls the main office tells me their computer people cannot find an event that caused the car to turn off and they will not be paying for damages-If this same thing had not happened to me while driving I may question my wife and her claim of events but a few weeks prior the car turned off on me while braking at an intersection and luckily there were no cars around me-
Really not keen on the infotainment/sat nav screens just plonked on the dash like Mercedes/BMW/Audi seem to be doing. Just makes it look like an afterthought.
I honestly don't know why people hate this thing. sure it may not be practical, but it sure turns heads.

Jealousy
xxthehuskycaboosexx how is this NOT practical ?
ghh
not only it turns heads but it hardens dicks
My dads just bought one of these and I thought it was ugly at first but it's grown on me and when it's on the road it's a proper beast looks amazing
Dad spent all the money and could not afford punctuation classes for you?
@@impact0rmy oh my the jealousy is absurd! Why so salty brody, did your dad flake on your birth and upbringing?
@@repentfromsinfollowjesus2953😂no wonder someone with such username is unable to draw non-moronic conclusions. Let Zeus have mercy on your poor brain.
@@impact0r lmao
@@impact0rFunny to come out of the mouth of a person with such a horrendous profile picture. Why the unnecessary hate man?
Not a huge car guy these days but this has rekindled the love. Such a beutiful car.
I love this car, i will recommand to go for the amg Sport Package. If you have seen this car in real, you will love it, too.
Wasn't a fan until I sat in the GLE63S yesterday, what a machine
I saw this car in white coming in front of me and believe me it looks soooo expensive it really looked so wide and big and it looks much more muscular than the X6
The other day I saw this car on the road and it was jaw-dropping
At 4:52 he said "you just put the car into comfort mode", but he put it in sport haha

Know what you mean but as Matt says, if comfortable cruising is key, Range Rover do it better than Merc or BMW...
Yeah, but I am discussing GLE vs X6 which I think are much closer rivals because they have a similar look. But I understand what you mean, I would have Rager Rover over those two vehicles any day...
Range Rover * hahaha such a fail
Every single person that's seen this car in real life said its attractive.

0:45 What are thosssseee????
Lol XD
+OFEKDDLOVER Nice casual shoes.
+OFEKDDLOVER
He wears them every episode
What is it with Merc still putting the 1-9 phone buttons on the dash? It looks 15 years out of date.
+Matthew Hall Arent mercs anyway 15 years out of date ?
+Pienimusta No? They are often at the forefront when it comes to new technology, engines etc. The S-Class being a prime example of that.
+Matthew Hall Good for texting while diving! So you dont have to use your phone anymore. Oh wait...
***** Mercedes drivers can afford actual texts tho.

yeah actually was going to say mercedes had a suv first

Did anyone noticed the bagde on his shirt ?
+joachim vind yeah I did notice that first ... then the socks :D .. I was looking for such comment regarding his t-shirt logo :D.
Is that a shooting bird to America
+battycowboy I believe it is! LOL....

Oh my God, lmao.
Such a beauty.

Please talk about the distronic. It's a gem and not as common with other manufacturers.
Great review as usual Matt! Keep up the great work :)
His shirt has a hand holding up a middle finger
I don't understand why people hate this machine..Its far way much better to me compared yo BMW X6.
Mat, any chance of you doing the new Mustang review?
To be fair matts complaints about ride quality, is partly down to the fact it has an AMG kit which gets harsher springs and dampening and it also has 21 inch wheels, which wouldn't help
I wish I could get my car reviews to be this good ! I reviewed the same car but my presenting ? what do I need ??
Hated this Car until MERCEDES lent me one and now I'm SOLD! Ordering one soon.
Why's it called a couple if it has four doors. Sorry, but can someone explain this
why it doesn't use the widescreen cockpit like e class
LOOKS????? This is the best looking mercedes in production!!!
what the actual fuck???
I am a fan of Matt , and this car is awesome also the GLC coupe. Very cool socks lol.
Black is beautiful.... Great machine!
The X6 link in the end annotation isn't working.
Those doors doesn't sound so premium, does it?
Katting the x6 hard but other than that i take it all back, i like this car actually, looks lovely in person, looks bigger too and love the front, looks mean and angry,
it will interesting to see how many people buy the Tesla model X over the bmw or merc.
the model x offers a 10 year warranty and more seating.
This car is very good looking, but i dont understand why didnt mercedes use the interior of the normal e class in it? as far as i know the buttons from 1-9 use to be in the older generation mercedes.
Whats with the American flag pin? If that is in fact what it is?
heeyyy i want that camera which he is wearing on his head !! please let me know if anyone has any idea about it. thank you :)
gle coupe, bmw x6 or range rover sport, one of them actually looks like an suv so i'd go for that one.
love yor reviews, to the point and honest, shame you didn't talk about the range rover sport terrible infortainment system but it's ok.
was the glc review deleted ??? someone please tell me
Nope. Infinity started it with the FX followed by BMW.
C43 AMG Coupé vs Gle 350d which car you prefer ?
I'm pretty sure it's not his accent but he calls it the Glass Coupe at 0:52
*0:50
I think ssangyong kyron was the first suv with that kinda shape.
The rear infotainment system seems irrelevant nowadays in my opinion. Coz the kids will be busy with their phones and ipads they won't even care for that expensive screens anymore. So nope for me. Rather have the panoramic instead
Did anyone even bother to stay till the end? i did. Your little secret is safe with me ;)
What happened to Bec Jackson?
+lostn65 She joined the Telegraph but is continuing to present car reviews on TH-cam!
+Carbuyer matt watson is the best car reviewer the others are so boring keep up the good work body
Carbuyer Matt, mate, you should do the all new bmw x6 review :) and keep on good work mate
does it drive as good as the new X6 though
You should have links to the two vehicles you mention at the end of the video review. I could not click either one in the video itself, and when I clicked the links in the description they only brought me to your review pages instead of the videos I was expecting to be linked to.
great review !!!
thanks carbuyer.
Can you maybe do the headcam test while parking? Because the shoulder view is always quite fast :D And then you got more time to look through the car.
What shoes are you wearing
The damn links take me to your website where I CAN'T FIND the clip i want
I’m so happy that my dad bought this he had to pick from a tesla x6
0:50 This GLA Coupe???
I have one question please answer. I'm trying to record reviews/presentations with my phones camera and I have a lavalier microphone.. But how do you record the audio with the video camera???? What is your mic connected to? How is the audio saved? Is the Filmer holding a transmitter???
9 years layer paddle shifters are the way to go 3:46
Make a video comparing gle coupe and glc coupe
Leather must be standard in the UK, because in the USA MB TEX is standard
Also the x6 is better than this car by looks, interior, and engine choices.
Ok everyone says that Mercedes is copying BMW by making the GLE. But remember, Mercedes Benz came up with the idea of making the 4 door coupe when it made the CLS. So technically, BMW copied the idea of the 4 door coupe off Mercedes, but made the X6, which is basically a coupe but just higher.
I didn’t know you used to do carbuyer
Can you please do a review of the new BMW X6 so we can compare like for like?
What's that on you shirt supposed to mean? And btw. - you've got the switching from Sport to Comfort mixed up in your editing.
1:38 is it meant to be funny?
please do a review on the new GLA
great car
Do a video of the new x6m50d
Matt, it takes a very brave man to appear on TH-cam with socks like yours. Christmas present from your Mum?
Are you going to review the new GLC?
Stockings and hand bag? Matt, Im beginning to think something is fishy going on here.
The back sort of looks like a Buick Verano to those who live in the U.S.
Very good review
finally a reviewer who knows that they copied bmw x6
Are trunk loads lips really what people bother about nowadays??
Mercedes really don't make good looking cars anymore.
All the designs look like they threw something together and then 'melted' it :P
I like the proportions of the 3 series especially with aftermarket 19" wheels
I couldn't agree with u ! that's what I've been saying to everyone ! I only like the new s class
+Frank Sandqvist Funny enough KIA/Hyundai make the best looking cars now. Even BMW/Audi are shit too look at .
Where the hand brake
Is that an American fu finger?
I am a big Mercedes fan, but I have to say, for this type of car class, I would much rather have the X6. And besides the BMW is also much more good looking than the GLE...pfff BMW started the whole new class with the X6 and I think they still are the best with it. But unfortunately Mercedes need their share of the market as well I guess :p
Please review the GLC as soon as possible. ;-)
why would anyone get this over an X6?
absolute beauty
1:56 HOW DID THE BOTTLE LAND
😂😂
At 4:50 you tell us you're putting it in comfort mode but the video shows us you're twisting it onto sport, yet the display says comfort haha.
Where's the new X6 review?
how is this a coupe?

How tall are you ? (cm)
Is it weird that CarBuyer is the best stress buster for me that I am aware of? :L
You might try sex...open up a whole new world..
2:19 javascript:void(0) LOL
Mat reallt improved with carwow
This is my dream car!
Really not keen on the infotainment/sat nav screens just plonked on the dash like Mercedes/BMW/Audi seem to be doing. Just makes it look like an afterthought.
This type of car looks like a whale on wheels .. does'nt matter which brand, Merc, BMW ... whale-on-wheels.
I have driven it a few weeks ago, drives great! However I think the 350 diesel is not powerful enough!
well for your regular fella who drives normally it's plenty. You can easily take over and it's really comfy to ride in
00:43
Those visible screws aren't that premium.
4:50 "So you accept this and put the car back in comfort mode." But in fact you just put it into sport mode :D
It's got a shift stalk like a prius!
if it' a coupe why does it have 4 doors?
finally some nice car to see. I had enough of Mazdas and other midget style machines. The link to X6 review does not work
It looks like Mercedes bought half an X6 and half a Q7 and soldered them together. Merc's creativity has gone out the window...
1:44 What a lovely taste you have, Matt!
