- The all-new Mercedes-Benz GLE is a rolling showcase of technology. This brand new GLE is sold as a GLE 350 featuring a new 2.0L turbo 4-cylinder with 255hp. The power goes through a 9-speed automatic transmission to all four wheels. the more powerful GLE 450 features a new turbocharged in-line 6-cylinder engine that puts out 362hp, more than the last version called GLE 400. The GLE is available for the first time with an optional 3rd row seat with seating for up to 7-passengers. The GLE is now sold with three different suspensions starting with the base springs and shocks, then the air suspension and the new air suspension with E-Active Body Control. This uses a 48V system to to raise the body or lower it for bumps or off-road use, In addition the E-Active system has the ability to lean into a corner, the way a motorcycle does when cornering. The interior is a showcase, thanks to the new MBUX system featuring two 12.3-inch screen in the dash. These are controlled with touch pads on the steering wheel, a centre track pad, by touching the screen, using voice commands and even gesture controls. The GLE is loaded with all kinds of tech that will be coming in the summer of 2019 as a 2020 model.

FANTASTIC MERCEDES GLE, THE BEST SUV IN THE WORLD!
Beautiful, show stopper, luxurious looking, advanced technology are the adjectives used, all rolled up into one neat package.
I have a 2017 GLE. Best car I have ever owned
What's the resale value on that?
@@kareeminyourdream Not good. Just traded our 2016 GLE that was "perfect" that sold new for $60k and got about $25K for it. Traded it for a 2020 GLE450. Don't care. The GLE is just that good and we're keeping this one for 7yr/100,000...
@@gwcrispi Wow... thanks for the feed back. People like you have really encouraged me. I am planning on getting the 2020 GLE450 as well.
What is the maintenance cost for A & B checks after warranty expires please?
@@kareeminyourdream Not sure as both are a rip-off. I've done the work myself on the 2016. However, the 2020 has no dipstick tube so using my extractor to suck the oil out is no longer possible.
@@gwcrispi Damn it.. they found you out lol. Oh well, thanks for all the info. Cheers
amazing new mercedes gle, the best! cool design, incredible tecnology! thank you for you great report!
i have to admit, the reference on the segment and even a reference to other premium for othe segments, amazing
I think I am of the few to like the styling. For me the previous generations did not deserve the badge and were not competitive. This looks like it actually a premium, luxury, high tech SUV.
I like the hard plastic lower down, Those soft touch materials may not scuff, but they tear, in the long run it shows wear and tear.
Inline 6 ! Yeah ! My BMW 325i cabriolet with 180,000 miles is still so smooth.
If this thing has air suspension, Don’t expect support when it dies immediately after the warranty expires.
I hate the front, but I like the rear. I'm worried about the long-term durability of the suspension and I also want to see how good the plug-in hybrid version is going to be.
"Hey Mercedes! I'm hungry." BOO-BEEP. Long pause. **Sandwich slowly extends from dash slot**
"slowly" ...faster!
Gesture control? With two fingers? So then, would it recognize this->🤘? Then it would tune to the heavy metal satellite radio station?
This suv looks great. Love the front, new 3rd row and the overall bulk. Great review!
Another great review. This vehicle has evolved gracefully. I can’t wait to overwhelmed by the technology in your other video. Thanks for so many videos on a snow shoveling day.
I’ve had a ml GLE since inception. Love them
Wooooooow!!! Blown away by the interiors
I def want to get this vehicle so awesome such an upgrade from the Current GLE so excited better start saving
I’ve been leasing since 1997 I had the first generation all the way up to the 2017 but now they making twin turbo 4 cylinder who wants that now you are forced to spend more on the 6 cylinder 805 a month it’s nuts
@motormouth, the original ML had a 3rd row option. As the GLE is the direct descendent of the W163 ML Platform, it isn't the first time they've done the 3rd row. I've got a 2003 ML500 and it has the 3rd row option, rare, but still an option. :)
Love the new look, especially the wide haunches and strong stance.
Is it just me or did the previous generation gle have a better front end
I agree with the comment on the ride quality - too soft for my liking as well. I prefer the BMW driving feel. Question: Zack, when are you reviewing the 2019 BMW X5?
@The Truth i ll painfully admit that Mercedes obscured the segment and even the absolute top segments(!!!) with this car, but Porsche, BMW and Audi performance on these segments are incredibly surreal, there s nothing like them. future amg versions may compete in drag racing but on a track, those mofos literally embarace some modern sportscars!
Ordering the GLS 2020 very soon!
i love the new mbux system. but the fact that the left screen is not centred with the steering wheel and the right screen is not centred with the centre console is really annoying. and not the type of annoying that goes away with consistent use.
Tom Quin You are talking nonsense..., buddy! The driver display is absolutely "centred" with the steering wheel. Just look at the two round digital instruments in its standard adjustment, which are exactly and symmetrically to the steering wheel. You are seemingly too fucking stupid to understand this perfect size of digital displays being aligned horizontally on the dashboard.
Please stop telling such bullshit, because this new GLE is still a car, and not a private movie theatre with stupidly large screens behing the steering wheel... like in no-name Chinese wannabe cars!
Agreed. They went out of their way to get the two screens to butt up against each other so they could put a single overlay over both, yet were too cheap to get displays that were wide enough to be centered over the wheel and center console.
It’s a huge fail and a hard pass in my book.
@@Porsche1969 wow. can't believe someone can be triggered so easily.
@@tomqin7593 indeed, but he does have a point. they re centered, the design might make it look like if it isn t but they are
Best looking of all luxury midsize for under $700K!
Lots to like, thanks for the great review.
What is the long term review of this car? Is it reliable?
I like the soft suspensions so this GLE is going to be good for me. I feel like sports cars reviews are reviewing SUVs and family cars now days and now the cars are becoming way to sporty.
Gosh I just think the styling is lackluster on the outside and somewhat impressive on the inside.
MUCH better design than the current GLE, thanks Mercedes!
Great review.. Love the hydraulics
It’s strange that in the c class and glc, there’s no cheap plastic on the bottom of the door panel. Why did Mercedes do it with this vehicle?
JTL2017 because it’s preproduction
i think because its a component that gets attacked by many things through the years (we even kick those parts sometimes, kids alone both in transit and entering/exiting its just a matter of time almost regardless of materials), this actually maintain really well through the years
Thanks for the informative video. Question regarding the suspension: you mentioned the air suspension is “soft”, even in the “sport” setting. Would you recommend sticking with the steel spring suspension, especially for drivers who prefer a “stiffer” ride?
No 350 Bluetec breaks my heart. I was waiting holding off my purchase for this refresh but with bluetec turbo diesel.
I find it disappointing for a premium company to integrate a display like this.
LE: Sorry I wasn't clear enough... I was referring to the fact that the displays in MB cars look like they were added after they finished the design. It looks like an improvised solution, not an intended one.
H.M. Andrew What kind of screen do you want then cos you sound stupid.
Yup I did not expect Mercedes to put a touch screen ...
@@marvistv6551 I apologize for the confusion I created. I was referring to the way they chose to integrate it, not the fact that it is a touchscreen display. The display in C Class, for example, looks like it was added after they finished the design and they couldn't find a better, more premium solution, so they nailed it into the middle of the dashboard.
(Also, I'm pretty sure calling me stupid is not a good argument. Try a better approach next time, maybe a more respectful one, I didn't offend you)
Crunix kruznix
I know you're being sarcastic, but honestly, the way Mercedes chose to implement those display in the dashboard it looks a bit improvised. Volvo is doing a great job at integrating a display.
Very true, in fact I have a retrofit display on my classic Trans Am which looks like a Mercedes display because it's basically a tablet attached to the dashboard.
@@andrew-hat The display here is done this way to make it look like it is floating in the binnacle. It is part of the design philosophy. It was definitely meant to be like that. You're also in the minority since most people love it. It looks so good in real life especially.
How's the product door on this product? Also the product window and gearbox on this product? General is this product better product from the previous product because if I'm going to buy a product from a specific product manufacturer then this product need to be better from a previous product.. love product
Now I drive NX300h.My next SUV maybe GLE but must be GLE coupe.If my finance being as I expect.
finally, MB made a car looks like its about 20,000$, but actually 70,000$
I have been extremely curious about how this new GLE compares to the new Porsche Cayenne, obviously in the sporty handling won't be on the GLE's argument. Are you able to make a video on comparison
It's *literally* the only kind of ride you'd want if you are buying a car like a mid-size luxury SUV. Why would you want to feel every little bump an groove in a car like this? If you want that, youd buy a sports car.
GLC, C Class don't have hard plastic on the bottom door panels. This is a reversal for that area of the GLE..
Not sure why he said it's hard plastic which it is not. It is an injection mold (soft plastic) just like the GLC/C Class. The hard plastic though is on the inside like the GLC/C. Also I believe if you upgrade to a designo package the door panel becomes full leather.
@@johnny02128 Have to see it in person and touch and feel to see is it hard or soft. I hope they will change to soft touch plastic to make it feel more premium and expensive.
I'm 5"8 and I found the 3rd row to be quite roomy
This is really amazing.
I am so much fed up of listening every "Reviewer" complaining abt plastic on lower side of door interiors. Have u ever heard abt functionlity? Why do u need leather finishing on any part which u hit with ur shoes almost everytime entering or leaving car? Or how abt having leather on the under body side? Should have a nice finishing there as well. Right???
Good idea. Leather everywhere...
Very impressive cars coming out.
Hi From Winnipeg, So Tell me how the Mercedes System is better than Audi's Most advanced Air ? Remember the A8 offered electronic actuators as well ( For collision etc ) Because is the tech better > doubtful and the Audis have no plastic issues ... vs E tron Q7 Q8 ?
Where is the Diesel engine option MB? The DIESEL OR Nothing.
Hey Zach,
Looks good. Thx for the great video!!
I don't like that plastic at the bottom of the doors-CHEAP.
Cheers from Vancouver, Canada!!
That drop in dash and display combo looks horrible. They should take notes from Audi.
Will there be an actual AMG model and not just an appearance package?
💗 my GLE350 2020
will the 3rd row removable? so only mounted in the car when need to.
Why they didn't use the 2.0 300hp in GLE 350, as in E350 is beyond me...
I'm guessing this was designed specifically for the American/Canadian market? Normally I really like Merc designs but not in this case.
Personally leaning towards the X5 over this. Looks are personal preference but my god the merc is hideous.
Is the GLE Coupe being redesigned as well?
Comparing the GLE 450 with the base Cayenne please tell me what you think and what car you would buy?
As a Cayenne owner the answer is clear. The Mercedes is very nice and full of tech but I prefer the ride and handling of the Cayenne. Also the Cayenne with PDCC is amazing.
when will we see the coupe ?
I don't quite dig the look. Too "roundish" for me.
Right!
im done with the kia/hyundai rear look, but love the front look just wish the lamp would be bigger. and bout the AI, Mercedes need to learn from Geely or Proton where their AI responding faster and more precisely since they using both east-west satellites to deliver infos.
New GLE still doesn't impress me unlike GLC when it was launched. The GLE looks as if Mercedes is so desperate to launch this model. BMW X5 design wins!
Always hated the back end of Merc SUVs. Still hate the shit looking back end. What's up with the angled trunk glass protruding out to the side seriously...
The interior is slightly disappointing in terms of materials in some places. Surprising really
why are they charging more money for crappier design and cheaper material? putting a monitor with some thick ass bezels(TECH FROM 2013) on a giant vent on the dashboard. THATS THEIR solution. COMEON.
Is there a plug in hybrid option?
US orders are open, arriving February 2019. Most option pricing is out, as well.
whens the 2020 gls coming out?
This is the only new Mercedes I truly like. The others are a bit too much for me.
Lol
I’ve got a Mercedes gle 2018 best suv by far & my father has the 2019/2020 BMW X5. I would 1000% go for the all new Mercedes 2020 gle. Literally it’s an S-class suv edition.
A $70K GLE from 2016 with 35K miles is worth about $33K today. Just wait 2-3 years and get this car for less than 1/2 price used.
With someone else's wear and tear. Those type of buyers are going to finance a 3-4yr old car for 3-5yrs so by the time it's paid off the cars 7-9yrs old 👎🏼
I cant help but notice that carcostcanada clothing is made by lululemon, thats pretty neat
How did you spot that? Impressive.
@@watchthis2139 I have the same jacket from lululemon hahaha
Still like my Diesel ML350....sadly no diesel anymore for Canada~~~~The rear looks a little like the Mazda......Just me....
I love the front! The back though is a different story. Almost looks like a Chevrolet Traverse. I would expect a little more from MBZ
That's the great thing about Mercedes-Benz. When they release a new model, it is a NEW model and not just an upgraded iteration. BMW kindly take note.
You don't like air suspension, but haven't told us anything about the regular suspension ride experience.
They didn't have one to drive
@2:51 omg the lag, by the time it tells me where to go I would have found a place to eat
The wine colour doesn't do justice to the car. A white color would be great.
2020? is this from the future? 😉
The front bottom panel treatment is odd looking. It’s not as handsome as the GLC. Both BMW X5 and Audi beat this in styling and now also in sporty handling
Looks kinda odd, definitely not as good looking as the X5.
nickolas q
Agree
Disagree but style is an opinion
@Ib7 h pphuft
@Ib7 h well if mercedes is really going for comfort over driving experience, they must be doing something very well because in the last 5 years mercedes has wipe the floor by selling almost twice the amount bmw sells.
Let's take it easy with the "product" . We all know it's a consumer retail mass production... it's a vehicle or mercedes
what's up with the wheels😑?
I sure do wish you could use USC in some of your calculations, I don't do metric
Except every country in the world uses the metric system except for USA, I don't do USC, neither does the rest of the wolrd
역시 GERMANY
역시 BMW
All these car companies are slackin...we should be seeing cars from 2070 already, c'mon ffs...smdh
Tesla and Volvo leading the herd
@@adam03753 ffs, get real
They'll want a ton of money for a 3 year warranty life span...... They still can't design a infotainment system that blends into the dash
What is with the crappy plastic around the wheel arches? I know that not all of the models would have it, however, as a leader in luxury, this should not even be a option for any level of trim. In addition, I would avoid air suspension like the plague, unless you are going to be leasing this type of vehicle. Sure, it adds to the driving comfort and what not, but when you are not under warranty the air suspension will put a whole in your wallet.
Mercedes Benz is awesome luxury car. I can't afford it. 😥
you have to wait a few years. They fall in value like anything.
Anything is possible, put a picture of the exact car u want someplace u can see it everyday u may be surprised what happens
The front is beautiful. The back looks like a 2010 Chevy Equinox. If I hear Zack say “prawduk” again I’m committing self immolation.
The exterior of the car is ugly those headlights are not good and also too small , the integration of the screen is ugly if they use something like the E class the car would looks more elegant , like this the car looks like has an incomplete dash. Whatever I prefer the new X5 all the time.
7:30 straight outta Compton!!!
If I'm going to pay a premium for this vehicle it shouldn't has hard touch plastics anywhere in the cabin.
WOW By looking at the comments section of this (and every other video I look at nowadays!) all I can say is: We have become a Society of spoiled and entitled snobs! SO much negativity! This is a beautiful vehicle. Certainly not everyone's cup of tea, but if you cannot see how tremendously far we have come in the manufacturing arena, but rather see the downfalls of a vehicle like this, you might want to check yourself.
creek hed couldn't agree more. Most comments are subjective so easily thrown away. The rest seem like pro trolls who likely could never afford one.
No v8? Gotta get gls if you want v8
Have they added reliability as a feature yet?
Why are all these SUV's obsessed with black cladding? They'll never be taken off road...lol
So no more diesel for the GLE ??
Hasn't been for two years
6 cylinder diesel offered in Europe.
The best or nothing, that’s Mercedes Benz.
Quite fast this time
I prefer the coupe
