Basically all GLE's have fake leather. However you have option to get real leather. It's called Nappa Leather Seat option. Sad thing is you can only get it in black color.
GLE is more comfortable, has much more space in the middle row, rear seats are electric and have more adjustments (X5 is really fore and aft with incline adjustments) and not being a PHEV means it will be less headaches down the road and hold it's value comparably better against the X5 45e/50e. Spec wise, unfortunately BMW has Merino leather (very plush, feels very expensive) on the newer model 50es and last batch of 45es which are nicer. GLE uses Artico (vinyl) and dinamica (suede-like) on their seats and it's not as luxurious. And of course MB only comes in black seats...
I might go with the GLE for the simple fact it’s not a hybrid (potentially better value retention), and because it has a more of that flex factor. The X5 is a solid choice, though.
Very cool review. You have GREAT camera charisma!!
Once again, another great video and review. And I for one cannot wait for the review of the zeekr x with Jim
Thank you! The Zeekr X is interesting, we’ll see about that one 😎
Great video

How would you rate this against the X5? I'm really considering the X5 but I just love merc.
