Awesome review! Thanks for this. I'd get this over most other high performance SUVs. Merc has really up'd their game. Interior is top notch, and they have found a nice blend between driving dynamics and luxury. On a side note, its impressive to see a sub 4.0 seconds 0-60 time. that's actually incredible for these massive SUVs. amazing times we live in (excl. corona, and all the bad crap happening around us). stay safe everyone!
Really good review. I just bought the 2020 GLE 450 (not the AMG version). I also added about $25,000 worth of options. I was surprised to hear you say this did not have heads up display? Mine has it. It’s optional but your version was $115,000 and didn’t include it? Mercedes is all about the options. The options on the GLE can easily cost as much as a midsize sedan.
I keep getting BMW ads it’s like they are saying “Please don’t choose Mercedes we are losing” I can’t blame em tho Mercedes is smashing BMW and Lexus not even in the halfway mark in sales
Steve, you and Doug DeMuro are my two favorite car reviewers!! You guys are detailed and unbiased(IMO)about the vehicles you review! Please keep up the fantastic work and great content.👍🏿
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews well, you are that good in my opinion! I’ve been watching and been a subscriber for a while now, and hats off to ya my friend!
In 3 years, this vehicle will only be worth about $60k. Only way this thing makes sense is lease for 3 years and give it back before all the really expensive repairs kick in once the warranty is close to expiring.
What Mercedes will do is sell u a very expensive model. You will thing, GREAT, BIG PRICE, SJOULD COME WITH MANY OPTIONS! Well that is not the case as typical German brands will offer you a HUGE amount of options even if you have a 100,00 dollar car.
Amazing amazing body design 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 tires wheels. I understand that this vehicle has more than just exterior design!! But can you imagine if Toyota adapt this way of exterior design?!.. Mr. Steve thanks for the review 👍🏾👍🏾 the best as usual
Autonomous driving? If you don't want to trouble yourself with piloting your vehicle you certainly don't want to spend the money on this "driver-oriented" car! Great video though, thanks..:)
the comments about ride quality and road noise are deal breakers. I just can't for the life of me understand why Mercedes doesn't make the comfort mode comfortable. It's possible, but they just don't do it.
@@stevehammes all too true,like ALL NEW POWERFUL SUV's. they all bloody crazy in price,but in saying that.....if i had the cash,i wouldnt blink an eye to getting one. 100%promise!!!! oh liked,sub'd and hit the bell icon!!! keep them coming.
@Steve Hammes New Car Reviews In my country the last gen GLE63S cost around 270-290 US$. And the AMGs in the states are also cheaper than a lot of European countries that even include Germany. The car price in the US are really one of the cheapest.
SOOOO MUCH MECHANICAL COMPLEXITY. While beautifully done, its definitely a lease ONLY vehicle. It'll dtive the owner into bankruptcy as it ages..... thanks for the thorough review Steve!
You are horribly wrong. Service is not cheap but the reliability is probably one of the best daily drivable fun SUV on the market. I prefer the 5.5L Bi Turbo. In my opinion it just sounds better. But who can argue with the technology and styling of the new Body Style. It’s called a staple and it will be copied by every manufacturer for the next 10 years.
Your choice of words, voice and story telling capabilities are outstanding.
High praise! Very much appreciate it!
I think you are one of the best car reviewers. Such a pleasure to listen you talk. Thank you Steve.
Wow, thanks!
This looks gorgeous. Wide haunches, conservative frontend that'll age splendidly.
Awesome review! Thanks for this.

Thanks for watching!
I’m pretty sure you can get optional power reclining second row seats that adjusts back and forth, which is apart of another option package. 😅
I believe you are correct. Good point. This was an early build before retail pricing and options were fully released.
love the reviews. not so much nonsense like most car videos
This is a nonsense-free zone ;-)
This GLE is my FAV current Mercedes; with or without AMG.
Really good review. I just bought the 2020 GLE 450 (not the AMG version). I also added about $25,000 worth of options. I was surprised to hear you say this did not have heads up display? Mine has it.

Congrats for buying one. Safe drive.
Congrats! Beautiful machine.
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews Thanks. I do love it.
Usman Ladan thank you.
You forgot to add the engine 🤣👊🏼
I keep getting BMW ads it’s like they are saying “Please don’t choose Mercedes we are losing” I can’t blame em tho Mercedes is smashing BMW and Lexus not even in the halfway mark in sales
have you sat in one? I personally found the X5 to be more comfortable and luxurious than the GLE
JTM 610 now are you sure you sat in a GLE with the air suspension? It was a cloud
Steve, you and Doug DeMuro are my two favorite car reviewers!! You guys are detailed and unbiased(IMO)about the vehicles you review! Please keep up the fantastic work and great content.👍🏿
Wow, thanks! That's some lofty company.
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews well, you are that good in my opinion! I’ve been watching and been a subscriber for a while now, and hats off to ya my friend!
Great video Steve, Sounds great!
Many thanks!
The GLE580, with a 483 HP V8, is probably the one you would daily drive for under $90k
great review steve.
Thanks, Jermaine!
Fantastic review Steve, keep up the great work.
Glad you enjoyed it
thanx for the review.
My pleasure
Super review !
Thanks!
Steve will you read me bedtime stories
Ha!!! Anytime.
Haha
You can get a heads up display, and also electricly operated rear seats, as option like in every other premium car, do a research before review
How does this work? Research?
Is it true that 'bounce mode' is _not_ available on this AMG model?
That is true!
No mention of E Active Body Control, even as an option?
Steve, at any point during your time with this were you able to pop a wheelie? Because it looks like it's about to druing a few parts of the video.
It looks like it, doesn't it? But nope...all 4 stayed on the ground.
So how much does Service B cost for this monstrosity? A Toyota Corolla?
Ha!!! Thanks, Mateen.
Service B is painful but wait for the price on a brake service 😕
Chopper Style a Highlander?
most mercedes benz including 63 AMG Service B from 500-700 depends on where you live. unless special model like GT. maybach and SLs
Chopper Style my GLS 63AMG was $2500 every 7-9k miles!!! I had prepaid service but my brakes required changing more than my damn oil!
Love this blue color! Is this the lunar blue option?
Winner winner!
In 3 years, this vehicle will only be worth about $60k. Only way this thing makes sense is lease for 3 years and give it back before all the really expensive repairs kick in once the warranty is close to expiring.
wait so is it 110k without the additional 20k in options you added or 20k on top of the 130k price tag you mentioned?
$130k total
Subscribed..
Thank you.
Badly triggers desire !
Do you do all the camera work/driving/editing all by yourself?
I use a revolving roster of volunteer drivers but the rest is all me.
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews that’s pretty damn impressive, I enjoy your videos. Very specific, descriptive, to the point and entertaining
Love you steve
You're the man, Willie!
Steve Hammes New Car Reviews thanks bro I love the videos
Message to current owner,
Please take care of her for me.
She likes to be garage kept and washed weekly.
Thanks 😍
133k.

"MIdsize" yhmm ok boomer
Sorry bro,i have Lamborghini
Amazing amazing body design 👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾 tires wheels. I understand that this vehicle has more than just exterior design!! But can you imagine if Toyota adapt this way of exterior design?!.. Mr. Steve thanks for the review 👍🏾👍🏾 the best as usual
You're the man! Thanks!
This is the only new Mercedes I like.
Me too. I hated Mercedes all my life but not this one. I will get one if I have the bucks.
This and the new GLS and G wagon
This thing is beast. Good review with heaps of full throttle launches
Tried to jam in as many as possible ;-)
WOW, great review. The only thing I noticed, the GLE does not have a DCT (dual clutch transmission) though.
Autonomous driving? If you don't want to trouble yourself with piloting your vehicle you certainly don't want to spend the money on this "driver-oriented" car! Great video though, thanks..:)
The fact that you listen to Jennifer Page made me like this video even more! Ha!
the comments about ride quality and road noise are deal breakers. I just can't for the life of me understand why Mercedes doesn't make the comfort mode comfortable. It's possible, but they just don't do it.
It’s comfortable compared to sport or sport plus. Not actually comfortable 😂
German logic 🤷🏻♂️
👍🏼👍🏼
I love mercedes benz
Ze Germans eh? WOW!
There IS a heads-up. My AMG GLE 53 should be here in October. My build includes a heads-up display.
Emerald Green on black/brown interior. 😊🎼
$133K for a MID-SIZE SUV?!!
Prices are crazy, right?

Cars are so damn cheap in the States
Tasteless Prick Cheap???

Race start is a little hidden, but your 3.7 sec is in there ...
There are videos out there that detail that.
This presenter is superb. Was made for the trade. The gesticulation agreed with narration bought me over
Glad you liked it!
Driving on the wrong side of the road and the steering wheel on the wrong side too omg 😱
You got the voice! Hope to see more of your 2021 AMG reviews
Thanks! Will do!
Buy a Land Cruiser. You'll never look back!!!
The Land Cruiser is like looking back to prehistoric times.
@@stevehammes Wrong!
Very beautiful car.
It sure is!
Awesome rewiev
Glad you enjoyed it
Excellent review!
Thank you kindly!
SOOOO MUCH MECHANICAL COMPLEXITY. While beautifully done, its definitely a lease ONLY vehicle. It'll dtive the owner into bankruptcy as it ages..... thanks for the thorough review Steve!
