Hey you forgot to mention with the optional air suspension this is the first car in the world that can literally jump like Hydraulics to get you unstuck out of snow or soft sand situations people should RUclips It's amazing!
Sean O'Neill it was not a prototype Lexus. It was just Bose suspension and they used a car that was the original benchmark of ride quality for that era of luxury cars. From my understanding, Lexus was in no way involved in development or testing of that suspension.
@Jake Watson not funny. like saying that the cayenne is more sporty than the q7 (many people don't know it's basically the same car). that's not funny :(
@Ib7 h that's bullshit sir. The reason why tests show the Q7 have less driving pleasure is because they have not the right options. Go to drive an SQ7 with ceramic brakes, active anti roll bars, rear sport differentials, 22' wheels, sport air suspensions or even a basic Q7 3.0 TFSI 333hp (that can be equipped with the same optionals). It's as sporty as a base cayenne 340 hp, that, btw, is 30 kg heavier than the 5 seats audi Q7 3.0 TFSI 333hp.

I got to participate in a Mercedes Benz invitational in Victoria Canada that they put on to show the abilities of the all new ML class back in 2000 or 1999. I can't remember the exact year. It was so fun getting to ride passenger as the Mercedes drivers thrashed on the new SUV. They also had all the competitors and we got to ride in them in a off-road course to prove how much better the ML was and it was way better. The thing that stuck out the most is when they perched all the different SUVs on a dirt mound that made it flex the body to the max where one wheel isn't even on the ground. They would proceed to open the rear hatches with the body flexed and the ML was the only SUV able to close it's hatch with the body flexed!

Not in most countries. In Canada they make between 70k to around 200k for the top guy in the department. Thats not enough to get a Bentley or Lamborghini which are the type of cars in Beverly Hills
My grandfather has a weird obsession with the Mercedes M-Class/GLE. He bought one every 2 years since 2008 and never bought any other vehicle, although he's been a Mercedes only owner since the 90s. I believe he currently has this model in black. He's 92 now and a retired engineer, he said its the only way to enjoy his savings by having a new vehicle all the time.
Andrice Parker I think if he had the car set at 60 (which is its lowest setting) then the car would only increase it ever so slightly. I’m guessing if he said that and it was 70 degrees, it would probably go to 75 degrees.
I'd love to see on your future reviews to mention other cars/suv's comparisons that way for those contemplating buying to see which other vehicles compete with the one you're reviewing.
Maybe the car he reviewed wasn't specced accordingly. Here in Germany we're far behind on the priority list for these cars and so far the first few which arrived from the US only had the standard Airmatic option instead of the eActive Body Control.
I have had the chance to drive various Mercedes Benz SUV models. They never excel at any one thing but seem to be slightly above average at everything. As you get to know these vehicles they grow on you. Doug's review seems to confirm that yet again.
the worst is when you are on your phone and you get the notification theres a new video. You literally click on it within 1 second, you go to the comments and theres 50 comments....wtf?!?
I had a 2011 Ford Taurus with interior ambient lighting. The same button that changed the colors also shut the ambient lighting off if and when I wanted to.
@@jamesengland7461 I agreeguys. Unreal. Doug- just keeps on being all Doug about things...Such the type of guy to do that. And it pisses me off a tad. LOL
He had the temperature at 60. MBUX raises the temperature 5 degrees when you say you are cold. So if the temperature was 65, it would reset it to 70, and so on. I know this type of technology is a lot for the commentators still trying to upgrade from their 1998 Honda Civics, so I hope this helps!!
ig: itschrisschwarz, didn't knew Mercedes installed the weaker 208hp T-2.0L (in US-spec the base engine for the GLE is the 300 level or ~255hp of that same sized engine) for at the Alabama factory for German compsumption (yes, ALL GLE's are made in USA, even those in EU-spec).
syxepop yes, they do .. last week I was at Mercedes and looked at the old GLE, looked nice because it had AMG trim and was well equipped but it had a 250 motor, but they are really rare here in Germany, so I was quite surprised! I always thought it started at 300 or 350. We also have the C Class as 160 and 180 model 😴
The headlights do the dance to configurate and level out. When you open the hood, they go into the service position, where you (idealy your mechanic with proper equipment) can adjust the angle of the beam.
@CrouchyTV It's like using psychology on a child: Adult (M-B Dealer): "You can have this nice turbo 6 now, or if you wait, you can have the AMG version!" Child (me): "Hmmmm... what?"
dude is better to use them than not, some people have problems figuring out if you keep going around or take your exit, is specially useful for telling pedestrians what are you gonna do
I like how Mercedes brought the center grab handles back. At first I thought it was kinda stupid and dorky until I sat in one and it was just so nice and ergonomical
I really like the design. It's nothing too crazy, certainly not something you'd turn your head around for, but it's extremely fitting for this kind of car. I think you could be driving it in 10 years and it would still look more or less up to date, which is exactly what you'd want in this kind of car
Car enthusiast here. I love luxury SUV's. Tow my toys, go off roading, drag my friends and family around, all in confort. Though I'm not sure this one in particular would do great off road... And usually I prefer ones with big V8s and that aren't as over priced as Mercades.
I always find it funny how Americans always ask for more power from their cars and don't really go more than 70-75 mph top speed on the highway, which is about 115-120 km/h. And in Europe people drive much less powerful cars, and usually go around 150-170km/h on the highway which is about 95-110mph.
My friend just got a brand new 2021 GLE 53 AMG. Turbo already had to be replaced twice within the first few months. Of course factory tow package does not come with a brake controller for him to tow an Airstream, so he's been trying to figure out how to get a brake controller to work with it to no avail. But some people are just meant to own these cars and they are way beyond money/practicality, so I'm happy for them.
Reminds me of a Rav4, and that 2000 s stupid wagon styling with the C pillar being all crooked is really ugly I find, reminds me of crap like the ford scorpio wagon, or other cars of that era
@linination Yep. Lexus RX in the states only has V6, even in 2019. Also BMW X5 comes standard with I6 now. The previous gen ML350 had 302hp I6, it seems counterintuitive to offer the same model number 8 years later with 50 less hp.
Hi Doug. I just watched a review of the same GLS but as a Maybach. In this car the strips next to the screen are all alike. So Maybach has solved this “issue” 🥳
Yes, but that extra is comparable with VW, Porsche and BMW’s rear wheel steering and active bars! The price of E-Active BC is lower or identical, and for me, is far less complex :)
@@MrOpticBlade No. This air suspension if so equipped uses the 48 volt system which allows for independent control of BOTH damping and spring rates. It allows the car to bounce up and down to unstuck itself from sand and there is even an option to move the height on each individual wheel. Look it up. They had a cool demonstration on it.
Doug, I was expecting you to review the 'pothole eliminator', which, available in the 450, picks up the wheels when encountering a pothole. Also, the 450 can 'buck' itself to get unstuck in snow.

Judas Jewbacca (Dark Lord Steinberg) ummm no... when u make 200k a year u can’t spend all of it on a car...

He legit called out Audi
Doug the type of guy to buy a yacht just to show the quirks and features of the toilet.
My grandfather has a weird obsession with the Mercedes M-Class/GLE. He bought one every 2 years since 2008 and never bought any other vehicle, although he's been a Mercedes only owner since the 90s. I believe he currently has this model in black. He's 92 now and a retired engineer, he said its the only way to enjoy his savings by having a new vehicle all the time.
What a chad haha
Did he used to own a red gle 300? Turned in to MBZ Escondido?
@@38Flyer Highly doubt it as he lives in NJ. He also buys basic colors like black and grey
You weren't joking about this GLE having the best SatNav system- it's pretty damned awesome.
Doug the type of guy to never watch game of thrones because watching will spoil it.
ayy i watch your channel. Glad to see you here.
Me too, that's why I love that series!
Doug you are the absolute best at this!
8:39 Doug: Hey Mercedes, I’m Cold !!
GLE: I will set the temperature to 65°F so you can FREEZE !! Lol
Hahahahahaha
Lmaoooo right I was thinking 80
Maybe the temperature was in the 50s?
When I heard 65°, I was like: Doug must be doing the review in The North Pole !! 😂
Andrice Parker I think if he had the car set at 60 (which is its lowest setting) then the car would only increase it ever so slightly. I’m guessing if he said that and it was 70 degrees, it would probably go to 75 degrees.
Can't wait for this thing to go for like $15k in 5 years and need $7k worth of work at only 60,000 miles
I'd love to see on your future reviews to mention other cars/suv's comparisons that way for those contemplating buying to see which other vehicles compete with the one you're reviewing.
Doug’s First ever word: “THIISSSS”
RaceRenz Hotwheels instead of cry one when he was born he screams THISSSSS
Doug completely missed that hydraulic feature that can get you unstuck from any terrain. I thought it was something he would enjoy
Maybe the car he reviewed wasn't specced accordingly. Here in Germany we're far behind on the priority list for these cars and so far the first few which arrived from the US only had the standard Airmatic option instead of the eActive Body Control.
Blackjack666 they’re built in US?
Almond Carpenter they build them in Alabama
German cars are more American than American cars I see!
he probably would have no place in socal to test it
also wonder how many GLE owners will actually make use of that feature
I have had the chance to drive various Mercedes Benz SUV models. They never excel at any one thing but seem to be slightly above average at everything. As you get to know these vehicles they grow on you. Doug's review seems to confirm that yet again.
Doug, the kinda guy who lets the headlights of his Mercedes dance to classical music...
video published 4 minutes ago: I'm fir......ninety third
the worst is when you are on your phone and you get the notification theres a new video. You literally click on it within 1 second, you go to the comments and theres 50 comments....wtf?!?
brapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrapbrap there’s latency ya know
Wow! That’s an amazing car. I still drive my 2003 ML 350 and runs like new. But the GLE 350 is the new King.
Wow almost 20 years.
The ambient lighting is awesome overall, but every automotive manufacturer should give you the option to turn it off.😀
Don't they all?..
Bennie Mangle Jr. u can turn it off. :)
I had a 2011 Ford Taurus with interior ambient lighting. The same button that changed the colors also shut the ambient lighting off if and when I wanted to.
I’m very grateful that my Fiesta ST lets me turn it off. Silly imo.
True dat
Doug is the type of guy to never make a reaction video about "Doug is the type of guy" comments
What a shameless ploy for attention from Doug! I second this motion!
@@jamesengland7461 I agreeguys. Unreal. Doug- just keeps on being all Doug about things...Such the type of guy to do that. And it pisses me off a tad. LOL
Do it Doug!!!!!🤞😘🤗🤑🤯🤠🤡💩
Great video - I love how you go over and show all those details in the interior.
Hey Mercedes, I'm cooold.
"Setting the temperature to 65 degrees"...........
Lmao!
LITERALLY.
He had the temperature at 60. MBUX raises the temperature 5 degrees when you say you are cold. So if the temperature was 65, it would reset it to 70, and so on. I know this type of technology is a lot for the commentators still trying to upgrade from their 1998 Honda Civics, so I hope this helps!!
rival121 I'm deeply offended, take it back!
@@rival121 he had the temperature at 63 degrees, Mercedes only raise the temperature by 2 degrees
In Germany we have the old GLE as 250 model ... 0 to 60 in 2 minutes
😂
2 minutes? Wtf
@@Xilog no, he's talkin about the old GLE 250 and it'd about 8.9 sec to 60. Not very fast...
ig: itschrisschwarz, didn't knew Mercedes installed the weaker 208hp T-2.0L (in US-spec the base engine for the GLE is the 300 level or ~255hp of that same sized engine) for at the Alabama factory for German compsumption (yes, ALL GLE's are made in USA, even those in EU-spec).
syxepop yes, they do .. last week I was at Mercedes and looked at the old GLE, looked nice because it had AMG trim and was well equipped but it had a 250 motor, but they are really rare here in Germany, so I was quite surprised! I always thought it started at 300 or 350. We also have the C Class as 160 and 180 model 😴
The headlights do the dance to configurate and level out. When you open the hood, they go into the service position, where you (idealy your mechanic with proper equipment) can adjust the angle of the beam.
"Hey Mercedes I'm cold"
"Ok setting the temperature to 65 degrees"
"Hey Mercedes I'm slightly less cold"
Doug the type of guy that wipes before taking a dump.
lol
my grandparents recently bought this in black used for $54,000 and its the nicest car ive ever been in
I actually really like the style of the 2020 GLE. I also love how the ambient lighting works. Very cool and I now really want one of these
Yeah i think it looks great, I've got a 2015 ml350 atm and I'd love to upgrade to this
@CrouchyTV It's like using psychology on a child:
Adult (M-B Dealer): "You can have this nice turbo 6 now, or if you wait, you can have the AMG version!"
Child (me): "Hmmmm... what?"
Doug the type of guy to use turn signals at a roundabout
damn, i sometimes do that
dude is better to use them than not, some people have problems figuring out if you keep going around or take your exit, is specially useful for telling pedestrians what are you gonna do
@@Elinzar good point
Elinzar didn’t expect that but okay
I like how Mercedes brought the center grab handles back. At first I thought it was kinda stupid and dorky until I sat in one and it was just so nice and ergonomical
MB is killing it . Love this new GLE. Interiors and tech are legit. Doug you are nuts thinking the X5 is better looking.
Gotta be honest, the X5 looks better still. But, this interior is legit AF
GLE has better proportions. IMO the X5 is weird looking.
I really like the design. It's nothing too crazy, certainly not something you'd turn your head around for, but it's extremely fitting for this kind of car. I think you could be driving it in 10 years and it would still look more or less up to date, which is exactly what you'd want in this kind of car
Totally agree. It also appeals more to late 30s mid 40s ppl who like Mercedes but they have kids and sedan wouldn’t suit.
It will fall apart in 5 years :)
@@alexkovkov433yeah no. Mercs are pretty solid. Try again
Best SUV interior for the price point
Car enthusiast here. I love luxury SUV's. Tow my toys, go off roading, drag my friends and family around, all in confort. Though I'm not sure this one in particular would do great off road... And usually I prefer ones with big V8s and that aren't as over priced as Mercades.
Doug is the type of guy to go offroading with interior ambient lighting.
I would too if I had ambient lighting
3:40 Imagine pulling up to the mercedes service center and you say "My headlights don't dance when I open the hood"
Lmao 😂
I always find it funny how Americans always ask for more power from their cars and don't really go more than 70-75 mph top speed on the highway, which is about 115-120 km/h. And in Europe people drive much less powerful cars, and usually go around 150-170km/h on the highway which is about 95-110mph.
dimekoza we like to get to the speed limit as fast as possible, and to drive way too fast on desert roads
No one asked, euro.
Come to Dallas lol
Outstanding review and commentary! Thank you for the content!
The new Mercedes GLE rules! It is better than BMW X5!
Doug is the type of guy who'd take a pill that unlocks 100% of his brain and give it a Doug score.
This is the best ”Doug is the type of guy” comment yet.
I'm assuming you just finished watching Limitless, the movie? Congrats.
My friend just got a brand new 2021 GLE 53 AMG. Turbo already had to be replaced twice within the first few months. Of course factory tow package does not come with a brake controller for him to tow an Airstream, so he's been trying to figure out how to get a brake controller to work with it to no avail. But some people are just meant to own these cars and they are way beyond money/practicality, so I'm happy for them.
Doug the type of guy to wear a Saab shirt while driving a Ford Gt.
The rear doesnt look much Mercedes-ish.. Not a big fan of the design
Reminds me a bit of an Vw Passat rear.
This is the way that Mercedes is moving, the new cls and amg gt 4 door look like this too
Reminds me of a Rav4, and that 2000 s stupid wagon styling with the C pillar being all crooked is really ugly I find, reminds me of crap like the ford scorpio wagon, or other cars of that era
Kinda looks like an Infiniti.
This comes in a “Coupe” with a rounded off , duck fin rear end that looks a lot better and are AMGs mostly
Just wanna say Thanks man, it's always pleasure to see your reviews!
Mercedes ML (now GLE) will always make me think of Jurassic Park 🦕 🦖
Virsen Singh most successful product placement of all time?
Lol
Mercedes made a mistake in offering a 4 cylinder petrol in this GLE350.
Ilipan and why is that a mistake?
@linination Yep. Lexus RX in the states only has V6, even in 2019. Also BMW X5 comes standard with I6 now. The previous gen ML350 had 302hp I6, it seems counterintuitive to offer the same model number 8 years later with 50 less hp.
Ilipan Maybe in the states but here in Europe everyone get’s small engines since we have emission based taxes etc
@linination 100k kilometers is nothing for these engines, you can see them at 250-300K in mobile.de all over the place
@@ilipan2668 The ML350 never had an I6 until now. Jokes on you.
Hi Doug. I just watched a review of the same GLS but as a Maybach. In this car the strips next to the screen are all alike. So Maybach has solved this “issue” 🥳
Where is the E-Active Body Control?? It is the best part... Doug
Diogo Avelino Araújo this is a very very rare option right now. Very limited option allocations. And very expensive
Almost a $10,000 option.
Yes, but that extra is comparable with VW, Porsche and BMW’s rear wheel steering and active bars!
The price of E-Active BC is lower or identical, and for me, is far less complex :)

You didn't show the air suspension? The biggest quirk ...
Boukie McBridger probably broke
Boukie McBridger It’s in every luxury car what’s quirky about it?
@@MrOpticBlade No. This air suspension if so equipped uses the 48 volt system which allows for independent control of BOTH damping and spring rates. It allows the car to bounce up and down to unstuck itself from sand and there is even an option to move the height on each individual wheel. Look it up. They had a cool demonstration on it.
SDav21 Sounds cool! I will check it out :)
@@MrOpticBlade Cool. It's called E-Active Body Control.
Traded my Fpace for this two weeks ago. This is a must grab for this segment. "Hey Mercedes"
14:21 i can confirm its a pre-facelift W202 C-Class
So glad someone mentioned it. Come on car reviewer get your cars right ...
Doug, I was expecting you to review the 'pothole eliminator', which, available in the 450, picks up the wheels when encountering a pothole. Also, the 450 can 'buck' itself to get unstuck in snow.
