Absolutely love what you guys do with these reviews! Quick, efficient, gives you decent idea of what the car you think about buying is like. The only thing I can suggest is to work a little bit on the sound levels of the videos when you edit. One second Matt is super loud and the next I can barely hear anything so I have to rewind the video and adjust the sound myself. Please do not take this the wrong way I watch all of your videos and love them! Best of luck! Regards, Alex.
British car reviews are always about putting down the seats for putting in large objects???? Are you Britsh going to the Ikea twice every week???? I normally use the space only ones a year, so no big deal to me, LOL
Mat, I do really like how you presented the cars like fake pumps and cheapy plastic parts inside the too expensive and luxury cars. 😊 It's brilliant and thanks for the presentation.
PunjabiKudiUK Personally l better like their renamed cars like ML (now GLE), GLK (now GLC), GL (now GLS) and SLK (now SLC) which makes it less confusing. Since GLE is a SUV E-Class, GLC is a SUV C-Class, GLS is a SUV S-Class. In 2013/14, Mercedes-Benz introduced their GLA and CLA, so that's probably way they renamed the ML, GLK, GL to GLE, GLC, GLC retrospectively
Thorbjørn Madsen I find each of them equally luxurious. Mercedes just decided to include every type of SUV there is GLS being the full-size, GLE being mid-size, GLC being the compact, and GLA being the sub-compact.
Personally thinking the command system is far much better than the iDrive... I don't like the fact with iDrive you have to keep on pressing the back button when returning to sat nav or audio... With command unit you just have to hit what ever option and then forget about it
Is it true that a new GLE model is due for release soon? As you mention in the video the present model is just a " refreshed " version of an older model.
Am I the only one who loves cars with that numpad for phone calls? I've got a new BMW without it and it's just a hassle to enter phone numbers with a rotary dial.
Oscar Lee Nobody uses number pads anymore. I just press a button on my steering wheel and say "call whoever". If you are dialling a number on some keypad, who's watching the road?
Mat - How does the ride comfort in this compare with the XC90 (both on air suspension). I know the XC90 doesn't absorb bumps on rough roads that well. I'm having to decide between this SUV (with the new, smaller "43" petrol engine) and the XC90 T6 (must get a petrol SUV or I'll get DPF probs with my driving).
Hello Matt..did you know that the swivel wheel underneath that touchpad can be moved left, right, up n down.? Haven't seen u mention it any of the merc reviews..Been using my GLE for 3 years now, and I found this out today..thought i might share it with you..✌😊
Hey Matt, been watching your videos for years now! I am using the same cellphone to watch your RUclips channel but videos now are very hard to hear on my phone's speaker. So I am limited to use headphones whenever I could find them! Please pump up the volume a bit!? Thanks and God bless

Hi Mat, thanks for good reviews. Is it possible to get the fueleconomy-numbers in liters per 10 kilometers for the rest of us from other part of Europe? :) Think a lot of us will appreciate that, Thanks a lot from Sweden...
i just bought GLE 350d 4Matic AMG Night Ed Prem + 9G-Tronic Night Edition, Automatic. from carwow. Original price for this model was £62,615 with finance i paid £47,806. that is %23.7 discount AND %5 interest, its like buying mortgage very low interest rate. if you go to auto trader even it cost £5k MORE for 1 year old GLE. I bought it from Guildford Mercedes. Best family car without hesitation.... Note: DO NOT BUY 2.1 diesel. (this is not Mercedes engine, its share engine with Renault with belt NOT CHAIN engine ) you ll want to buy 350d true Mercedes engine and a lot of power And very economical compare with others. DO NOT buy NY A-B- or C class. i purchased CLA shooting brake. wore car ever gave it back to Guilford Mercedes after 4 month losing over £8k. thats how i found out its Renault engine on A,B and C class.... true Mercedes stars from E class and onwards
+Hariz Nonis definitely no, the GlE competes with the XC90 in terms of price, size and practicality, the XC60 which soon to be replaced competes with the GLC
+Julian J Hi, XC90 is a 7-seater SUV and hence rivals GLS. XC60 is a size 5-seater SUV hence rivals the GLE in the same class. GLC is a smaller SUV which will compete with upcoming Volvo XC40.
+Saravana Kumar nope you're not right, XC60 is class of GLC/Q5/X3 and XC90 is in this class with GLE, and 3rd row of "sewts" for kids dont make a new class, there need to be much more in it.
So, can we use this car as good replacement for s class. We are looking for best suv for tall man in sixties (grand daddy) can not jamp in easly in saloon car anymore and looking for SUV, but it looks like mercedes dont have right answer for s class comfort for driver. What you recommend for a business man that like comfort of s class and driving only mercedes last 30 years. :)
It sounds like it's perfect for you then. It's worth finding out if it's too tall though - my gran struggled to get in a similar SUV cos it was too high off the ground
+carwow thank you! I have RR on mind too, not sport model but grand daddy like only suv and GLE will be his choice. I think GLS is just longer GLE nothing special or am i wrong?
Merc is getting bad for cost cutting ideas, especially plastics. But then some BMW 3 series owners say their windshields are saint gobain and the side windows are some funky chinese brand. They're all doing it.
Review the S-Class , XJ , 7 Series and A8 and later on do a comparison of those 4 . Or something like GLS , Q7 , X5 , XC90 and Range Rover Sport review and comparison of those
Salesman at Mercedes tried to persuade me to buy one of these.. But I went for the new top spec e-class instead, it's not as spacious but is much much better.. GLE really does feel like an old car, whereas E-class has all the latest features and technology (It can drive itself on motorways!). But that infotainment system really is the worst I've ever seen. Sat nav is a pain to use :( so I'm probably gonna wait for the new 5-series and swap then
***** I really like the upgraded E class interior, with two big screens like in S class. Are they going to put same interior in their SUVs any time soon?
You are such an amazing reviewer... Good job and keep up the good work! Could you also review the Mercedes Benz GLS and compare it with the Range Rover Vogue? Thanks
Nope, I considered the X90 but couldn't get over the fact that it only came with a 4 cylinder diesel engine. I have had 4 E Classes with the V6 engine and it's refinement and abundance of torque far out way anything with a 4 pot. I think Volvo have shot themselves in the foot somewhat but maybe its because they are charging headlong towards hybrids..
As I do fold the back seats down regularly and need a flat, and not inclining or stepped floor, then this way of folding the seats is the best way. It is not awkward and not 'old fashioned' , why is it modern to accept a cheaper and compromised mechanism? You should be pulling manufacturers up for their shocking compromised and praising the likes of Mercedes.
For some reason it reminds me of those large coffin-carriers at funerals. Matt, make a series of special vehicles like hearses, ice cream vans etc. (before Carthrottle do). ;)
Brilliant always. But i wouldn't mind an opinion at the end. Nothing about whether you think people should buy it etc... simply whether you like it or not.

Pls review mercedes GL class....
I have the amg line premium and it has no air suspension?
OMG! The day has come! You didn't mention the iDrive.
Are you ok, Mat?
Hahaha it irritates me so much when he always has to mention the idrive😒
Alex D. #BMW
carwow can you do a review of the mercedes benz GLS
I like the seat folding mechanism, it helps it achieve that gloriously flat load bay.
SORT OUT THE SOUND LEVELLING!
Do GLS
Absolutely love what you guys do with these reviews! Quick, efficient, gives you decent idea of what the car you think about buying is like.

Better than the X5 in my opinion
Nah ur brain isnt working
British car reviews are always about putting down the seats for putting in large objects???? Are you Britsh going to the Ikea twice every week???? I normally use the space only ones a year, so no big deal to me, LOL
We tend to buy tea bags in 20kg pallets and those stiff upper lips take up a lot of space too
+carwow 😂
Then it is an American thing too, cause I am not buying any car that the middle back seat sucks nor one that I can't stick a bike in the back etc.
www youtube music selena
Yes we do go to ikea every week
Sería bueno que todos los videos tengan el audio en español ya que en muchas ocasiones buscamos reseñas y no la encontramos en este idioma
the boot is huge, there should be a 3rd row option, theres lots of space
no one would buy the gls then
Thats why I bought the gls
W167 have it now
You should've upgraded this car with the optional new sound editor. To level up and equalize the sound of your videos.
Mat, I do really like how you presented the cars like fake pumps and cheapy plastic parts inside the too expensive and luxury cars. 😊 It's brilliant and thanks for the presentation.
You said it had a 9 speed auto at the start, then said it had a 7 speed auto with a low range
Those interior door handles are in dire need of an update.... They've remained the same from the M class of the early 2000s!
Fionan Buckley Who cares about the design of the door handles
Nothing wrong with them
They should never have changed the ML - it was perfect
PunjabiKudiUK Personally l better like their renamed cars like ML (now GLE), GLK (now GLC), GL (now GLS) and SLK (now SLC) which makes it less confusing. Since GLE is a SUV E-Class, GLC is a SUV C-Class, GLS is a SUV S-Class. In 2013/14, Mercedes-Benz introduced their GLA and CLA, so that's probably way they renamed the ML, GLK, GL to GLE, GLC, GLC retrospectively
They initially had to pay BMW for using the protected „M“ term in M-Class, due to their patent on „M“-cars (e.g. M3...)
Thorbjørn Madsen
I find each of them equally luxurious. Mercedes just decided to include every type of SUV there is GLS being the full-size, GLE being mid-size, GLC being the compact, and GLA being the sub-compact.
honestly! He does the best reviews on youtube at the moment.
does the Gle replace the ML?
Nicholas Nolan yes
When is this generation announced?
is the new model for this coming next year?
Matt, you need to volume up the mic. Music is fine, just your mic isnt picking up well
Personally thinking the command system is far much better than the iDrive... I don't like the fact with iDrive you have to keep on pressing the back button when returning to sat nav or audio... With command unit you just have to hit what ever option and then forget about it
Is it true that a new GLE model is due for release soon? As you mention in the video the present model is just a " refreshed " version of an older model.
can you review the seat ateca?
Mat are you going to make reviews on older cars like the C class(w204)
beautiful suv, i like it better than the X5
Do a review on the GLS, it looks the bollox!
Am I the only one who loves cars with that numpad for phone calls? I've got a new BMW without it and it's just a hassle to enter phone numbers with a rotary dial.
That's what voice command is for.....
Voice command isn't available for every language. And I'm not sure you can dictate numbers and get the car to call that.
I see. I still like punching in numbers more.
Oscar Lee Nobody uses number pads anymore. I just press a button on my steering wheel and say "call whoever". If you are dialling a number on some keypad, who's watching the road?
Number pads are useful for conference call dial i

I really love Mat's personality. He's good.
What a brutal review. Talking about storage space for bottles etc.
Pls review mercedes GL class.......
So, if this competes with the Audi Q7 and RR Discovery, what is the Mercedes GLS competing with? Surely with the Audi and Disco?
Hello Matt..did you know that the swivel wheel underneath that touchpad can be moved left, right, up n down.? Haven't seen u mention it any of the merc reviews..Been using my GLE for 3 years now, and I found this out today..thought i might share it with you..✌😊
Do you guys film your videos at longcross race track in surrey
Do a review on the volvo s60 or the v40
Matt, could you pls rev a 3 cyl vehicle? Its economy and different drive mods? I. e. Astra 2015? Cheers.
please make gls 2018 video review
No spare wheel?Do they require run flat tires? And why no more fog lights?
I still love my 08 Gx 470 better than my wife’s 2018 Gle 350 4 matic.
please make a review on the gls 63 amg
Can you do a review of the Audi Q7 e-tron ?
Hey Matt, been watching your videos for years now! I am using the same cellphone to watch your RUclips channel but videos now are very hard to hear on my phone's speaker. So I am limited to use headphones whenever I could find them! Please pump up the volume a bit!? Thanks and God bless

Do a review on the GLS
Please review the new gls

Mat what's better, the 9G tronic in this or the 8 speed ZF?
+VolvoXC90TV zf maybe. But 9g is great
carbuyer and carwow are the only good car reviewing channels
Roy Anderson Even PowerDrift. Its Indian channel, but their cinematography is next to none.
Search for Ten Hut' s videos there.
great review. could you also please review bmw x5 x25d and let us know how does that compare to the gle 250 cdi? thanks
Hi Mat, thanks for good reviews.
Is it possible to get the fueleconomy-numbers in liters per 10 kilometers for the rest of us from other part of Europe? :)
Think a lot of us will appreciate that,
Thanks a lot from Sweden...
Hi guys, will do do a review of the of the range rover discovery sport?
what happened to the Honda nsx video
The music in it went in and out. They're probably going to reupload it.
That's a hip frikkin sexy car!
Question though: this or a q7 for a medium/large luxury suv?
If looks don't matter, this. For everything else, the Q7 or other competing SUVs
Hey Mat, VWTouareg or Mercedes GLE? Which is better, bigger, taller, cooler?? :)
+Miotrix gle
Thank you :))

you ll want to buy 350d true Mercedes engine and a lot of power And very economical compare with others.
DO NOT buy NY A-B- or C class. i purchased CLA shooting brake. wore car ever gave it back to Guilford Mercedes after 4 month losing over £8k. thats how i found out its Renault engine on A,B and C class....
true Mercedes stars from E class and onwards
how much hp
Jaguar Mat! Do the F-Pace
U forgot to point out the Mercedes led light under the side mirror which features the Mercedes logo on the pavement at night
audios levels off on this one. but still a great video again.. keep um coming
do the coupe one
Omg mat has changed soo much over 5 yrs
What do you prefer the GLE or the XC90?
The GLE shouldn't be compared to the XC90... It would make more sense to compare it to the XC60
+Hariz Nonis definitely no, the GlE competes with the XC90 in terms of price, size and practicality, the XC60 which soon to be replaced competes with the GLC
+Julian J Hi, XC90 is a 7-seater SUV and hence rivals GLS. XC60 is a size 5-seater SUV hence rivals the GLE in the same class. GLC is a smaller SUV which will compete with upcoming Volvo XC40.
audi q7
+Saravana Kumar nope you're not right, XC60 is class of GLC/Q5/X3 and XC90 is in this class with GLE, and 3rd row of "sewts" for kids dont make a new class, there need to be much more in it.

It sounds like it's perfect for you then. It's worth finding out if it's too tall though - my gran struggled to get in a similar SUV cos it was too high off the ground
+zedesino Lexus RX450h. Really comfy. Or Range Rover Sport.
+carwow thank you! I have RR on mind too, not sport model but grand daddy like only suv and GLE will be his choice. I think GLS is just longer GLE nothing special or am i wrong?
If you had an s class then go for the G class now ;)
Merc is getting bad for cost cutting ideas, especially plastics. But then some BMW 3 series owners say their windshields are saint gobain and the side windows are some funky chinese brand. They're all doing it.
A very good review as always Mat !! awesome
Lots of underfloor storage but no spare wheel
TheTEKKENTV there is a sparewheel
I love the review, and based on the result i’m going for it💪
Review the S-Class , XJ , 7 Series and A8 and later on do a comparison of those 4 . Or something like GLS , Q7 , X5 , XC90 and Range Rover Sport review and comparison of those
Salesman at Mercedes tried to persuade me to buy one of these.. But I went for the new top spec e-class instead, it's not as spacious but is much much better..

Sat nav is a pain to use :( so I'm probably gonna wait for the new 5-series and swap then
hows that going to solve the nav problem? lol
Hi Mat, I like your videos but please make a video on Mercedes v class
GLE, GLE coupe or E class? Same equipment levels? What is best?
E class is brand new and lower CoG, so unless you need ground clearance, E class for me.
***** I really like the upgraded E class interior, with two big screens like in S class. Are they going to put same interior in their SUVs any time soon?
+Mario D. Zmaj it will be rolled out across most models when they are replaced in time
At the mo the E Class has the nicest, most modern interior. And is super comfy on air suspension...
You are such an amazing reviewer... Good job and keep up the good work! Could you also review the Mercedes Benz GLS and compare it with the Range Rover Vogue? Thanks
If I had to drive a fancy car i would pick the ml/gle. They feel robust and solid
Anyone who'd buy this old dog when they could have the XC90 would need their head testing!
They'd just buy this because it's a Mercedes
Nope, I considered the X90 but couldn't get over the fact that it only came with a 4 cylinder diesel engine. I have had 4 E Classes with the V6 engine and it's refinement and abundance of torque far out way anything with a 4 pot. I think Volvo have shot themselves in the foot somewhat but maybe its because they are charging headlong towards hybrids..
Man that hunk a plastic that the rear view mirror sits under. Must have a few of the computers in there.
Adam N That plastic above the rear view mirror are sensor for windshield wipers when it's raining. Just like most cars
If I sat in the middle seat, I'd be happy as I would have the privilege to be in a Mercedes
Mat when are you going to test Alfa Romeo Giulia?
LOL! That best before joke is hilarious lol!
If top gear hires MATT, i will start watching.
AMAZING.. I OWN GLE 350 I LOVE IT..KUDOS TO MERCEDES BENZ
that move recline is too short to be called reclining
My laptop volume is full but still i can't hear you clearly...?
Yeah the audio is very quiet on this video for some reason.
Where’s my 9 speed transmission???? I have a 18 gle350
Your reviews are the best!
the best or noting
Pls also do a b class review!! My mom's been annoying me asking me for advice on which car to buy and she's maybe considering it haha
Shame they didn’t add 7 seats options
As I do fold the back seats down regularly and need a flat, and not inclining or stepped floor, then this way of folding the seats is the best way. It is not awkward and not 'old fashioned' , why is it modern to accept a cheaper and compromised mechanism? You should be pulling manufacturers up for their shocking compromised and praising the likes of Mercedes.
I think this car and the CL coupe are the two finest Mercedes you can buy for under 30k in 2022
For some reason it reminds me of those large coffin-carriers at funerals.
Matt, make a series of special vehicles like hearses, ice cream vans etc. (before Carthrottle do). ;)
+atizeg I love the hearse look, makes you feel like Death himself.
Man. Those door bins and cup holders. Damn I've soiled myself again. Everytime I see those bins.
Ita a cool SUV, awesome quality, powerful engine( the V8), and a lot of space. Thats it
Brilliant always. But i wouldn't mind an opinion at the end. Nothing about whether you think people should buy it etc... simply whether you like it or not.
I like the way you critize I guess you are a great design engineer yourself.
Why not shut the boot to show it can shut with all that stuff but still I love your videos
Me watching this video now after already buying the car 😂
1:48 hello Mr.Cameraman :D
Why 65 plate car when it’s 2018 review
The old vs new gle are so weird... the new one look so much better
Love GLE poster haha
