when me made the x6...everybody said they was ugly,ridiculous ,impractical but every auto designer now have their own version of what the x6 started...& people are giving them great reviews..but slaughtered the x6
Nice review. the dashboard is dated though and not acceptable, considering that, the GLC has an upto date dashboard like the one found in C-Class. It would be nice to see Audi offer a coupe version of the Audi Q7, perhaps may be called QS7 or QS6. that will surely have the virtual cockpit interface (something that is not on offer by BMW or Benz)
Utibe Akpan it is offered in the e class and s class, soon to be featured in the 2018 c class. Keep in mind that the gle was first named ml and came out in 2012 so yes, it's going to be a bit outdated compared the the q7. Remember in 2012 when the ml was new, the q7 was old and felt really old compared to the ml. Same thing here.
We have to trust James on this one, he's a big man (over 6 ft tall) so if he can find it comfy, most of us can. I remember when he reviewed the GLC (even though a mid size SUV), it feels like he is reviewing a hatch back. Good work guys keep it up, looking forward to seeing more reviews for the upcoming new cars.
James is 6 ft 4 inches tall. So most people will swim in this car as the average height for men around the world is between 5 ft 7 inches to 5 ft 9 inches.
Daramy If he is 6'4 then I'm 6'6. I'm really 6'4 and my head almost touches the roof in the non-coupe version in the back. My head touches the roof in a 750li with a baseball cap on.
I really can't understand why you (and many other reviewers) compare Merc & BMW... BMW is for people who like sporty driving and Benz is for people who want a very quiet comfortable ride... It's like comparing apples and oranges... Benz have one of the quietest cabins and a very comfortable ride while BMW have a harder ride and better handling... It's like comparing sneakers with formal shoes... Have you ever seen a government official being driven around in a BMW?
the x6 has a nicer interior. mote in line with present designs. this car is still based on the gle wagon...which was just given a facelift. basically its based off a facelifted car hence the reason why the interior looks kinda dated
URIP PLASINDO he got a GLE Coupe from XL phone provider(Company like OPTUS) Back in Indonesia. He Was Very lucky.....What ever you said you must be have X6 And Bought it with your money instead for free
GLE coupe is definitely much prettier then X6 but I still cant get the idea of SUV coupe - this is totally pointless car! Speaking of car apps and electronics - 90% of the electronics in modern car is there just because the buyers are idiots. It is useless but brings easy money to the manufacturers - take it out of the car and you'll have better car for sure!
+Nikhil Pindis of course he said that this ugly-duckling GLE prettier than X6.. because his username is Benzinio not Bimmerinio... got it? he's merc fan boy for me personally x6 is much better looking than this UGLE, in fact the chesper and "original" GLE suv is much nicer looking than this mutant coupe-suv
Just bought this car because I personally find it the pritiest SUV. Shame the ride is absolute rubbish, couldn’t even imagine a Mercedes would have such a bad quality ride. The car is in constant movement. So bad that I tend to use any of the other cars in the garage.. 😓
DJust787 i don't know where your plastic was but i think you're just jealous and trying to boost mazda's image with you propaganda. I'm neutral but everything is wrapped in leather, the dash, the doors, the glove box. And the use of aluminum trim is impressive. My dad just bought the 2014 ml (gle) but he tried the mazda suv, and quality wise, the benz was much better, more silent, smoother ride, better fuel economy with the turbo v6 diesel engine. They had both the same amount of technologies but in my opinion, i feel like the benz was more composed. The mazda was also more expensive because it was new. I mean, the mercedes has harmon kardon sound system and the mazda had none. And we love quality music.
I'll never watch this channel again...the ugliest car along the BMW X6, inside and out. Every garbage Mercedes gives those guys is good and pretty for them..worst of all , he called it sporty.
One of my dream cars
Three years later, have you achieved this dream?
when me made the x6...everybody said they was ugly,ridiculous ,impractical but every auto designer now have their own version of what the x6 started...& people are giving them great reviews..but slaughtered the x6
Not good enough interior for a benz at this pricepoint
Greg Miel - agreed. The interior is atrocious. The slightly smaller GLC coupe has the nicer interior from the C-class.
I WOULD PROPOSE THE INTERIOR OF 2016 OR 6.3 AMG
Greg Mieg that's exactly what I don't like about this care. Should have a similar interior as the E class
TheLifeOnHigh no way - the GLC has a super cheap interior by comparison. The GLE coupe might look like the older ML shape - but it’s far from that!!

the speedometer isn't digital like the e-class sedan. very sad..
Very clear and precise use of your language. Congrats!
Why you are saying GLE 'Wagon'? Multiple times? Can the non-coupe model be considered a SUV?
Yes - the GLE Wagon (aka the new ML) is an SUV. As is the GLE Coupe. We refer to the 'wagon' to avoid any confusion.
CarAdvice.com
Thanks for your reply.
I thought 'wagon' is referring to station wagon.
Beautiful. I will own one soon
I am looking 2016 ,Dose anybody have any idea where is the good dealer 🤔
Price?
Shocking that the review was done 8 yrs ago but in my country Kenya🇰🇪 we consider this as a new car in our market 😅😅
nice review guys. Not a fan of the Info system though. How much is it gonna cost there?
GLE350d is $122k plus on-roads in Australia.
Funny James said is spacious at the rear and yet it feels like he needs to crouch seat. XD
i noticed too......
You do sit low, but I was quite comfy - JW

I like the review. It is more comprehensive. I need to see what the 2019 GLE 63 s Coupe has to offer.
Mercedes might actually earn my business
Great review
Cheers!
Great Review
What's the difference between gle 450 and 350?
Michael Jonatas Anderson different engine size
450 is petrol 350 is diesel

Sina Bakhshalian Yes I agree with you, but I have seen many government officials in different countries being driven in BMW's.
Australian Prime Minister rocks a 7-Series. When he isn't chucking a tuffy in a ute that is...
coupe or suv?? 😓
+faiz almazda - why don't we have both? #oldelpaso
the x6 has a nicer interior. mote in line with present designs. this car is still based on the gle wagon...which was just given a facelift. basically its based off a facelifted car hence the reason why the interior looks kinda dated
THIS CAR IS BEAUTIFUL COMAPRE TO X6
u must be blind or stupid
URIP PLASINDO he got a GLE Coupe from XL phone provider(Company like OPTUS) Back in Indonesia. He Was Very lucky.....What ever you said you must be have X6 And Bought it with your money instead for free
Lineage2MediaCom the x6 is fuckin ugly
Love this Benz my dream car and me affi buy it a swear
Definitely a paid review, space in the back was cramped but the dude makes it seem like a 7 Series back there
He is 6 foot 4.
Really think this GLE is not a good choice for some big families coz its too small in back seat
XIAOHUI LIAO unless you have young kid and won't keep long
The African dung beetle wants it's she'll back.
LOL
great knee room and head room? he is SQUEEZED IN WTF lol
Just looks tight as the car is dark. I'm 6'3" and was pretty comfy - JW
The second seat is too uncomfortable and the spine is fixed at 90 degrees. The seat is fixed. Too much uncomfortable.
All in this segment are....disappointing to look at.
It's a bit of a love it or hate it group...
how tall james ???? (cm)

Are you kidding me? Prettier than X6? I think it should be name UGLE coupe.
Nikhil Pindis Totally disagree. The taste has no friend, but you are wrong :)
There's no way this is better than the x6
ic prfekt
+Nikhil Pindis of course he said that this ugly-duckling GLE prettier than X6.. because his username is Benzinio not Bimmerinio... got it? he's merc fan boy
for me personally x6 is much better looking than this UGLE, in fact the chesper and "original" GLE suv is much nicer looking than this mutant coupe-suv
People look at it not because it's pretty..
Hate the car, but love the review. (X6 driver...sorry)
Haha - its a polarising one! Thanks for watching!
Good
old infotainment system and poor knee and head room at the back
A coup you keep chickens in.
Rover will be dead if he puts his paws on that bumper.
LOL!
AMAAAZINGG MONSTER
Good review.
Pointless fat SUV though, might as well get a Subaru XV and keep or waste $80K on anything else.
Asymmetry0 when you have the budget for that type of car, you won't even think about a subaru.
Asymmetry0
Yeah but then you'd be stuck with a Subaru XV. Not a good outcome.
there are only 2 typs of cars in the world...Mercedes Benz and others
too much complaining about this car in this video
Nice car, but i prefer GLC Coupe
this looks like SOAP.
The X6 is by far better and sexier in every way
The interior is ugly at best. Very disappointed with MB
Just bought this car because I personally find it the pritiest SUV. Shame the ride is absolute rubbish, couldn’t even imagine a Mercedes would have such a bad quality ride. The car is in constant movement. So bad that I tend to use any of the other cars in the garage.. 😓
go test drive it, its a junk.
Plastic Plastic Plastic all over the interior! even a new Mazda has a better quality overall interior then this piece of shit
DJust787 i don't know where your plastic was but i think you're just jealous and trying to boost mazda's image with you propaganda.
