Mercedes-AMG GLE 63 vs Audi SQ7 Super SUVs w/ Tiff Needell
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 7 апр 2018
- With the SUV market growing ever rapidly and showing no signs of slowing any time soon, we wanted to see how two performance SUVs shaped up, mixing the mighty AMG petrol with the impressive new Audi diesel.
Combining practicality and impressive performance, both the Mercedes-AMG GLE 63S 4MATIC and Audi SQ7 seem very similar on paper, but which would Tiff and Paul prefer?

Easy question... Audi or Mercedes-AMG? Comment below!
Mercedes
SQ7 all the way.
Q7 has the next gen technology, the Mercedes the better V8.
Gle
RUclips Ciulini it’s weird tho this model looks outdated compared to the US version
I have owned an SQ7 now for 6 months and I have to say it's a very easy car to live with. I get upwards of 35mpg on long trips and can hit 40mpg if driving at a steady 70mph. I bought it because I wanted a bit of fun combined with good mpg and being able to fit my 2 dogs in the boot. Ticks all of the above. I could not find a match to those 3 requirements on another SUV and especially at this price point. Great car.
Thehpman100 absolutely loved the SQ7. It literally ticks every single box
Hey , been thinking about buying a used one and seen some people say that pretty much all the electrical issues and other reliability issues have been resolved , that the Q7 has.
So now 2 years later , how was your experience with it and how much have you drove it (and if still driving it) ?
It also has a middle isofix seat which is a huge bonus for me with a young toddler and older kids. No merc or bmw offers this.
Couldn’t believe Tim smothered his paws all over the Marc’s shiny black hood! 🤦🏽♂️
The GLE sounds brilliant!
We agree!
+THE MYTH Only an Audi fanboy would nitpick over AMG's brutal soundtrack.
+THE MYTH Fair enough but you're still nitpicking. With turbo-charging and downsizing we're lucky enough that one manufacturer knows to keep the right V8 noise. Audi and BMW V8's sound like vacuum cleaners in comparison.
KING TDI and the Audi Uses a soundgenerator 🤮
What is this?....TTTTTTT Tiff Needell?....is he a regular on this?....Why did this just show up in my recommendations now?....I got sooo much to catch up on.......
hahahaha!
I was thinking exactly the same. Just randomly showed up in my recommendation. Great video!
Fifth Gear is no longer being made, so Tiff has to put food on the table some how, what a great way to earn a living though!!
Brother I was thinking the same thing!!!! 😱
You deserve far more subs than 16k. Good video, good production and reviewers have good chemistry. Keep up the good work. God knows my additiction to car videos need more of these.
We are growing steadily, thanks for the kind words!
Great review guys and keep up the great work! Tiff you are a class act, always loved your car reviews!
Thank you very much Jonathan, we appriciated it! ☺
If you are into cars like me, you would have seen all the reviews weeks, if not months, in advance. Yet, there is a certain charisma that Tiff exudes that makes these videos very enjoyable indeed. Keep up the good work.
Great to hear you're enjoying the videos! 👍
Top work lads. Really entertaining review :)
Thank you as always Mr Fox! 🦊
Good to know I'm in early on an UNDOUBTEDLY fantastic channel!
Thanks for the quality product!!
Cheers!
Best automotive youtube channel!
High praise indeed! Thanks very much! ☺
Well done lads great review
Thanks Robert, we appriciated it! 😊
Excellent video guys, I throughly enjoyed seeing these two brutes on the channel... All I ask is PLEASE film a proper 4x4 soon, aka a Defender 👍😎
Thanks very much Mr VSX, we have a video with a newly restored original Range Rover coming up soon, that might be more to your tastes! 😉
Spend more 💷

Khanaqah e madaniya Noorpur sharif sa a e11s ew s g

Thank you Carl, nice of you to say! ☺

Nah 4matic is better
In my opinion
GLE63:Best Exterior and sound
Audi sq7:Better interior
Well summarised! 👍
that merc is ugly asf
Kushal Betgov Audi for me is even uglier,i prefer the gle
You arr fantastic.Keep with exellent work
Thanks very much for the kind words!

Thanks very much Dewster, glad you enjoyed it! 👍
Just bought this SQ7, test drove both cars. I like the MERC more but my wife like the SQ7 more and you know what they say happy wife happy life....
We hear that 👍👍
Simp
F , i dont know what Audi does to women that they all want them
Great video again and very entertaining. Time to try our Lexus RX450h (Petrol and Hybrid)? Regards, Bob
Hi Bob. Let's do it! Can you please email chris @ lovecars.com and we will get this set up!
Always bring tiff with you for reviews, you guys are amazing.
We're trying! Thank you very much
Great show guys, i've subscribed and hit the "noti" button, cannot wait for more videos like this! Please if you can, do the s Class coupe and the new Bently continental! Thanks! for this vid, i choose the Audi!
Thank you so much for subscribing (and notifications even better!!!) and also thanks for the suggestions. Will see what we can do!
Jeremy Clarkson would have given us a drag race to prove it. A real petrol head
Awesome channel keep it up....
I actually quite like these Audi SQ7s . I am not into Audis , don't know much about them , but recently discovered these by accident and they're growing on me.
Some of the comments here people are saying you buy a vehicle like this to show off , etc. I DON'T THINK SO. I think the Audi is very understated. Just looks like a big estate car , (which I like) , It'ss not showy / flashy at all.
The only thing I don't like on it is the shifter and that big console between the front seats. I wish they'd put the shifter on the column and left the floor clear in the front.
I am still impressed though . Love the technology in this and would seriously consider one.
Nice presentation, cute arguments. Love it. 😍
Glad you enjoyed it! Thank you!
I've had my GLE 400 for over a year and had no idea about the hook... Not sure what I'd need it for but you learn something new everyday I suppose.
Ha! well Tiff was certainly excited about it! Nice car - hope you're enjoying it
I have an SQ7 and it is all that is mentioned here and does 0 to 60 in under 5 seconds, but can do 40mpg as well. The Merc can't match that economy.....
You're right. We are really big fans of the SQ7. Brilliant car
Oh my god!!?I though it is a fuel eating monster actually.Is this makes approximately 6-7 litres per 100km?If that is right i am getting this car!
Lazy Mind he’s not kidding. Benefits of a diesel 🤷♂️
Any one who buys the merc is not about the economy
Good video, underrated channel.
Everything about the GLE63 is superior. It looks better. It sounds better. It goes better. The interior might be older, but I like its aesthetic better.
Not sure our Audi fans will agree, but good to have your opinion! Both were pretty special and have a lot more positives than negatives
The Mercedes steering wheel also has a flat bottom LOL
He was just being grumpy trying to find fault with the Audi!
That was like i am watching a comedy movie.The funniest comparison ever!Very good job guys! 😊
Ha! Thank you! We enjoyed this one
I have the GLE 63S. It's fabulous and v.v.v.fast. Love it
Ha ha I just love Tiff 😂😂😂 he's so funny. Oh and by the way, I love the GLE too...beautiful!
Thanks and yes the GLE is a nice bit of kit
Whaaat, my inner child is screaming, Tiff is back! Insta sub 🔥 best car reviewer from fifth gear 👌
Thank you very much. We like your inner child!
Tiff, tell us again which one has the flat bottom steering wheel?!
😆
Yeeeeeeep yepyepyep yepyepyepyepyep
RAH
Rah
Hey honey..
shut up
TGE is everywhere!
audi is better
"You got a map for a dashboard" 😂 Tiff is soo old lol what a legend
hahahhahahahahhahahhhahahah!!
Great review. I just wish they'd done a drag race😁
With suvs we thought a bit dull doing that!
Great review. I’m not normally an Audi fan but of the two I would go for it simply on looks, the Merc looks lumpy and that C pillar is a carry over from the 1st generation and still does not work.
that SQ7 is gorgeous, the styling makes up for the diesel engine imo
"Cant be seen in a diesel!" hahaha, stealing that ;)
Just bought the Merc... What an engine.. That grin is worth every penny and mpg, I don't care 😁
What's the mpg like as in how long does a full tank last
Well the title....bought you my subscription!
Glad to have you as a subscriber!
Nice video guys! But next time try something a little below £50k. If anything, Tiff will complain more ;-)
Thank you, we do have some lower priced stuff on the way! Thanks for watching.
They are from two different categories, 5 or 7 seats? I am about choosing from the new GLS and Q7, (family use so just need the 3.0 diesel base model) most popular models.
You got to love that review I think I would go for a diesel 😎😎😎 even though I'm a petrol head myself
My mum has the gle 350 diesel v6 and it does pack a punch!
Nice!
Off topic but does anyone know the brand of tiff's shirt please?
AMG Big Time!
Good to see you Tiff!
A simple stage 1 remap brings the SQ7 up to 520 bhp & 750 lbft.....in a diesel! Absolutely bonkers!
And then you’ll be putting a new gear box in no time
"It's an etiquette of petrol drivers, we turn our engines off" - Now that's for sure :D
AMG all the way!
:)
In my opinion, amg cars are the best. Sound and sporty aggressive look... 😝😋
Tiff is the man. SUBBED !!
Tiff climbed out with a smile, that says everything......
Awesome test.... tiff your the master! Get back on tv please with some petrol head series....
We're working on the TV thing!
Lovecars awesome can’t wait at last we’ll get some real car testing back on tv instead of stupid driving mission ......
Cool Stuff TV what would do it for you? We’re scoping things out now but would love to get some feedback on what you’d like to see
Lovecars ok so for me
All sports cars not just super cars
Tiffs approach to testing.... fifth gear almost nailed it but standard motors are just a bit boring
Real behind the scenes Motorsport - Race Team invites... again fifth gear did so really interesting race car tests
Tester relationship is key.... not acting like tgear.... but real guys and girls that get on and know their stuff... Jason P still funny and the James Martin Saturday morning home based style-vibe is cool...
Let’s see more stuff on tuning type companies and their motors.... TIFF’s Tuners .... example ABT... AMG.... let’s get under the bonnet of these type of car companies, plus let’s not forget private tuners and car collection...
Then have a weekly phone in competition that lets you do a fast lap around a real race track like Oulton Park .... then you’ll be entered into the series best lap... would have to stop race drivers entering though ...
sorry I’ve gone on a bit here .....
Lov Cars! and I could give you ideas all night however some will be rubbish 🤓
clean VW diesel. Great humor guys :-)
Ah come on! 🤫
Tom Current diesels are really clean due to Ad-Blue. Do some research and use internet to gain some knowledge instead of listening to gossips.
Firstly, I was joking about the VW scandal. Secondly, current diesels are not clean outside the test cycles. Here's a study by TNO from the Netherlands: www.tno.nl/nl/over-tno/nieuws/2016/10/zes-nieuwe-rapporten-over-praktijkemissies-van-wegvoertuigen/ (I think you are Dutch, judging from your name?)
Check the PDF at that page which is the result of the study. Modern diesels are, in practice, Euro6 is only 30% better than Euro1 which is a horrifying result.
If anyone thinks there is such a thing as clean diesel. They are dim. They wont be able to imagine how our sun rotates the milky way on one of its arms.
Yeah, using double the fuel and chucking out way more co2 is really much cleaner!
As nice and complete as the Audi is (its very good) I will still choose the Mercedes. It looks better, sounds better, has a nicer interior and I just like it more! Excellent video, as always!
They're both brilliant cars, all comes down to personal choice at the end of the day - thanks very much!
Nicer interior in the mercedes? Really?
With the rest I agree though.
Yeah. Nicer. I didn't say anything about quality, I only said it feels nicer and looks nicer in my opinion.
Can you do anything else with that Merc than just the engine?
I accept your opinion. However, i think there are objective characteristics which clearly speak for the Q7's interior. I will try to explain that standpoint:
GLE is a car introduced in 2015. Nevertheless, it's interior looks very similar to the interior of the c-class (W204) from 2007, except for better material quality, a bigger infotainment screen and some other details. But the basic framework is almost the same. There are several elements, which are simply outdated. For example the number pad in the center console. No one needs that anymore because of smartphone integration. Additionally, modern design implies usage of digitized elements, such as digital dashboards, digital screens and so on. For a car that is so expensive as the GLE, i expect it to have a modern, cleaned up interior, like the one in the current e-class.
The Q7's interior however appears way more modern. It has a very clean design with several digitized elements such as the "virtual cockpit", small digital screens for the climate controls, ambiance lighting and so on.
This is why i think that the Q7 clearly wins in terms of interior. However, mercedes looks better from the outside, has the better engine/performance and the better sound.
Both are amazing cars...!!! 😁👌
I'll watch anything with Tiff, he could review lawnmowers and it would be interesting.
Welcome back ..:)
Thanks! 👍
Tiff love see u. Realy u r d great.
Thanks!
Walkies Talkies at the wheel, on a public road, and then uploaded to the internet? Good work ...
You live up to your name! It’s legal. Obviously, otherwise we wouldn’t be doing it
yess! love tiff!
Hes a legend - thanks for watching!
Soooo funny I have never bought a diesel either TIFF, owned M3, C63, 4 Subaru’s, X5M, RRSC etc etc. Well done you Tiff !!!!
The Merc is Just in another League. What a beast.
✅✅✅
Tiff can't fail to make me laugh every time 😂
right! 😄
I was going to get a Q7, got the MB GLE350 instead. My wife drives a Q5, fun to drive. I love both!!
You have the best of both badges!
This could be something special. Tiff’s outdated complaining, bickering and attitude is really off-putting though. He’s a great motoring journalist and presenter. Sort out the nonsense and this could be one of the best car channels on YT.
Loved the Video!! SUVs are not my thing so ill pass!! Great job!!
Glad you enjoyed the video!
We have a sq7, the performance and the sound you really have to experience in person. We’ve had s3 and still have a ra4 which we don’t drive it that much cos we enjoy the sq7 so much. My wife and I often ask each when was the time we fill up the sq7? Cos it’s so economical compare to our other cars. Full tank of diesel usually last us 2 weeks sometimes more the way we drive.
You have a nice collection. Paul thinks the SQ7 is the best every day car on the market for the money, period. 👍
Great video. GLe looks so old and is old. Sq7 is stunning and so much more advanced
Nice one gents
Thanks very much Colin!
Audi RS Q8 would eat the MB and be a fair test but I get the diesel comparison. Sucks that UK dealing with that. Both cars were amazing.
Really entertaining
Thanks
Great review. Tiff and Paul... Guys u are awesome. Loved the cars. I wud go for the Audi SQ7. I can make a bet that if the Audi was tested in a black color, just as the GLE AMG was, it wud be much more appealing!
Tiff it's not always about the power sometimes you need torque to even get off the line
Agree! 👍
Tiff ftw
😎👍
Why are you using a gle and not a gls to compare these two?
Hi. We get zero support from Mercedes-AMG (and most manufacturers) so have to rely on kind hearted friends to lend us cars for reviews!
Audi!!!
Why does tiff say that the Audi has a stupid flat bottom steering wheel , when the merc does and the Audi doesn’t
Good question!!! I think we address it in a video coming out today 👍
I drive Audi and my misses a Merc. I reckon it’s easier to set the re entry control on a space ship than set the sat nav in a Merc! Tiff, if you don’t do modern tech and can’t even operate the rear wiper on an Audi how on earth do you deal with a Merc! Look at that central touch pad thing half covering a wheel which also depresses as well as moves lift, right, forward and backward. It’s the most complicated interior of any car I’ve ever driven, and that’s a lot by the way!
That said the Merc engine is glorious.
Final question, did I miss the MPG debate?
BelfastCol69 Lee hahahahaha! So true with this! And sadly the MPG debate should have been one of the biggest points to get across but didn’t come out on the final edit 👍
11:30 poor cameraman 😂😂😂
drift Master is back
He's a pro!
Tiff Needell = Subscribed 8-)
Great to have you on board! 😎
Both of these suv are power full to me ,I really love them its like asking a cat to chose between meet or milk
That number plate b4nana love it
Well done Tiff. Go with the petrol!
did the audi have not 3 turbos?
Alternate dimension Top Gear
Loved how Tiff talks about how awful flat bottom steering wheels are and yet only the Merc has a flat bottom wheel out of the two.
Yes, and not many picked up on it! We have been giving him stick for this!
Audi takes it into next level 😊😊😊
Such an impressive car
I prefer the Benz but fear high petrol usage
Fuel economy is something the SQ7 definitely wins out on!
Yes but I look at it this way. The noise of the amg wins every time. I would happily pay the fuel to hear that noise. Besides if you are in the position to buy one of these, I don’t think you’ll be worrying about fuel consumption
Keitumetse M WTF 2 tones car full tec V8 BT. How can u be worried about gas millege .better buy a Nissan leaf
If you have the money to buy a GLE63 AMG , do you think the usage matter ??
If you one can afford such a car why is fuel economy a concern?
Surely using walkie talkies is the same as using a mobile phone !!? 🤔🙈😂 6points gentleman!! Lol
Not so, two way radios are exempt! 🤓
Getting the merc in September
you will love it. Such a great car with loads of drama coming from the exhaust
Watch out driving in puddles of water, you might hydro lock the Mercedes
There were no dramas thankfully. 😉
hahahah good one
Hape Sethathi #autovlog :)))
*cough* autovlog *cough*
Hydro lock?
I love the SQ7!
Us too!
Compensation for "lack of something"? 😎
