    I have a GLE350, and I love it! I use it as my winter driver to commute to work in NYC and to run errands on my days off. That 2.0 Turbo 4 has just the right amount of power for my needs. In the driver's seat, you have everything at hand and where it is supposed to be. The rear seats are roomy, and the cargo space is plenty.

      I thought the 350 was pretty peppy myself, but that’s a lot of money for that smaller motor. I was thinking about the 450 with the in-line six but you’re saying that the four-cylinder is OK in traffic and such

    I like your guys reviews, some of the best I have seen on TH-cam - helped us make a decision to buy an MDX a couple months back. I think you guys missed something very important on the Acura, it makes your list as it should but it is the least expensive SUV on the list. Less than 1/2 the price of some of the others. Acura's SH-AWD is one of the best AWD systems on the market which is important in this segment. The fact that they are keeping the V6 is a huge plus as turbo's have issues down the road. Gas mileage isn't that great, but as good or better than most AWD vehicles of this size. The track pad isn't a thing, you still have buttons for heat and the things you use most, you only use the track pad to use the Nav or change radio stations, it is very easy to get used to, and a plus, if you put your finger in a corner, you are highlighting that button, so quick and easy to get used to. I like the piano black.. But most important, the interior is very comfortable. We looked at other SUV's but the ones on your list are above many peoples budgets...

      You get what you pay for... new is always worth it. The reason for depreciation is that those first 20K to 30K miles are the best, least expensive, and most reliable miles a vehicle will ever have. It may seem like a good deal, and in some cases it might be, but mainly, you are paying the actual value at initial purchase and at 3 to 4 to 5 years in. These values are set by the market place, which is VERY ACCURATE as to value. Buying older cars is an initial savings, but you pay for it in repairs down the road.

    I can't believe you did not include a Genesis GV80, I upgraded from a Mercedes ML 350 two years ago. Back then my final choices were the Genesis, the 450GLE, and the BMW X5. The Genesis was the best of the group...better options, better ride, better comfort, better safety features and it was at least $25,000 less than the other two vehicles. I've driven the GV80 almost 20K and it is by far the best vehicle that I have ever owned in my 35 years of driving. And the added benefit I get close to 35 mpg, with 30 mpg on the highway....

    Love the Rx 350! The hybrid version is great as well. Very luxurious, yes lacks power if that's high on your priority list, but I'm ok cruising around in a very quiet, high end, reliable vehicle. The Mark Levinson surround sound is clear and crisp and perfectly leveled. Still handles great and the technology has been much improved. The giant 14' screen is a big win! If budget wasn't an issue I'd love to try the Porsche Cayenne S!

With a turbo charged engine with plenty of pop and great handling. A lot of fun to drive. Save yourself a good deal of money, drive one and compare. You will be pleasantly surprised. I will put its reliability and safety against any of the SUV’s in this video. Mazda is not known as a luxury SUV but it should be.

      The thing about quality scores is they change model to model year to year. We have a neighbour interested in a used Macan and I pulled al the numbers for him year to year and recommended which model years to look at based on reliability. If you are buying used you should really look at each year to investigate any issues. For those who are leasing, these scores don't mean a lot, they just want the vehicle. If they have any issues, it will be under warranty and they plan to give it back after 3 or 4 years and either get a new one from the same brand or move on to another. These scores we provide are just a guide.

      Porches are very reliable, more than some Lexus. Only issue is expensive repairs when they do come. JD power ranks them at 87 #1 on the lists., as for Mercedes it’s a hit or miss I know the 2018-2021 Mercedes gle are horrible and the later models are starting to improve.

    Want to try asking this for the next QC&C but what do you guys think of the 330e? I want a sedan, can't stand SUV's, and the PHEV for my well within range to and from work commute. Is the G20 platform as reliable as it seems? I've done some homework and I don't see any glaring issues with the current 2.0L akin to Audi's EA888 gen 3 water pump issue (have an A3, love it, tuned it, but it's getting a bit aged).

But the final decision came down to Acura's superior reliability. Even though I hate the infotainment system. Just sucks.

Been driving it for almost 2 yrs and really like it. I’ve seen the new 2024 Cadillac XT4 Luxury trim model and find it great looking but also very interesting for what it offers for its price. It’s so comfortable on so many levels. What are your thoughts on it compared to my Taos? Good future trade idea or, stay with the Taos? My Taos is a lease, therefore; eventually I will have to decide to either trade or buy it back.

    I recently added a 2024 GLE450, to my list of cars, which also includes a 2022 E450 All-Terrain Wagon. The key to Mercedes long-term ownership, is to not go crazy with adding a ton of electro-mechanical doo-dads into the options list (typically done by leasors), but on the contrary, aggressively edit out as much of the electronic doo-dads as possible.
    Skip the Airmatic suspension, skip the E-ABC suspension, stick to the standard selective-damping double-wishbone suspension, skip the soft closing doors etc. All of these listed on the "skip" list are potential future expensive trouble-spots that you do NOT want. If you are leasing, then go right ahead and go crazy with these options, but God help the person who buys this car when this lease is returned. My All-Terrain wagon comes standard with the Airmatic, but I wish it did not, even though the reliability till date has been pristine, but it is still young at 32,000 miles.
    The key to LONG term Mercedes ownership, is to stick to the basic GLE450, add in the Panoramic moonroof (drastically alters the interior ambience), the brown walnut wood, the acoustic package with the thicker glass/windshield, the higher-end Burmeister sound system and be done.
    Based on my experience with my prior ML320 that went 245K completely trouble-free miles till it was donated, the configuration above, will last for a million miles with no issues whatsoever. The basic Mercedes drive-train, including the AWD system, and the basic Mercedes suspension are bullet-proof, and that's exactly what you have here.
    PS: The GLE350 has a lower-end AWD system, when compared to the AWD system in the GLE450 and above. Essentially the GLE350 has a simple 50/50 viscous coupler and open diff, that splits power 50/50 and uses the vehicle braking for torque transfer, while the GLE450 and above, have a much more sophisticated rear- biased AWD system that can do 0/100 or 100/0 power transfer.

Its a big step over the last gen, I love the quick power delivery, I love the size as its not too big and zips around town awesomely, plus the torque over 400 ft lbs, its perfect for me, passes a couple of cars in seconds.. its quick... if I wanted a larger SUV I probably would have bought the Gv80, the Gv70 was quick, but not up to par interior wise... QX60 was noisy on the road, hit bumps hard.. not refined.. the GLE too big, X5 was very nice but too big Also the GLE and X5 $$$$$$$ get very expensive up over 100k very quickly ... but also has more options etc.. For me the RX500h hit all the marks.. Its not perfect but darn near... and that sound system... WOW... Very quiet and more refined and quiet than the MDX.

    So much of the purchasing decision for any of these vehicles depends on the lease rate, financing rate and residual or how much the vehicle depreciates over 3-5 years. In addition, how does maintenance cost affect your ownership experience. I love the Mercedes vehicles, and have owned 5 of them from new. However, it seemed like I could never leave the dealership for service under $1000 in Canada. For these reasons, I believe the Acura and Lexus are miles ahead of their German competitors.
