You know what’s crazy is Mercedes cheapening out on the headlights like you used to be able to get projector leds as standard now they downgraded to reflectors which is ridiculously insulting when this vehicle itself is nearly 80 grand
Thanks guys. I didn’t get a chance to go through all the comments. Just a couple FYIS. You can get the interior AMG package as a separate option. And, you forgot one of the changes for 2024. The inside air vents now are now lined in chrome instead of black. But really, great job and thank you for taking your time going through the 2024 GLE. I also liked it you showed us the detailed base pricing.
That interior is beautiful. Love the S class-like wood rimmed steering wheel. This refresh might be enough to compel me into a GLE!! Very nice improvements. As usual, your video quality is top notch.
The 350 model is the weak link. I don't understand why the U.S. market doesn't get the 300hp version of this engine found in the 350 models in other markets. The GLE 450 is where it would start for me, as the I6 is near perfection. The Lexus RX just doesn't compare once you get out of 4-cylinder land. The BMW X5's I6 is still superior and the X5's facelift has made the X5 far more desirable than before. It's a tough choice between the two. The Genesis GV80 deserves a mention here too as does the new Range Rover Sport if you got the extra coin.
Yep at $78k that motor is VERY disappointing. The interior to me is cold. Plus there is no 4 zone climate control. I thought it was a "luxury" brand? I spec'd one out with air suspension and 4 zone climate control and it was well into the mid $80's. One really has to love Mercedes to buy this overpriced underperforming vehicle.
Hi! Great video as usual :) Looks like this model doesn't have the "Acoustic Comfort Package", curious to know how that package affects the sound level. Would be great if you could test that!
@@mssha1980 yeah i forgot but i paid 1.5k for the prepaid maintenance which is worth it considering the service without it would add up to almost or more then 10k
Mercedes is killing it with their new designs, I love the way all their new models look. I will say I’m not the biggest fan of the interiors but whatever I’m never going to own one. I love seeing them driving around on the road, Mercedes owners are really doing all of us a favor by driving around works of art lol So to everyone who is buying a new Benz THANK YOU! ❤❤❤
I bought it in January. six day after the door handle was broken, and the parking assistance does not work.. 😢waiting for the part already heard is a known issue. thank you for your review.
@@treydrier3169 and the problem is I bet there are no deals available because I’d be looking at the next motor up from this ridiculous four-cylinder, which would be fine in the smaller Mercedes but not this
I this Mercedes GLE 350 I think looks great this would have a grey colour exterior and the interior are great however I like most seat colours I enjoyed this review video for a long time since a month hadn't watched your videos thanks
Yall spent half of the driving scene just talking about the powertrains. 6 powertrains in total is a little excessive even by luxury standards. You got 2…4 cylinder options, 2 V8 options and 2 V6’s engine choices (pls correct me if im wrong) I was trying to keep up. It definitely takes a lot of muscle memory to remember all of them. Its good you guys had something to explain all of the engines. It takes a separate video to give all the information on all 6 engines. If you don’t like any of these options than you might as well get an electric vehicle.
The GLE is very nice and the amount of stuff they offer is like trick a treat or festival. I mean, there is a ABUNDANCE of different options and packages you option on to this. Its kind of crazy ngl. This is only a 350 and and is almost 80k. For 80k I think it should come with the rear climate control and heated rear seats. Then again Mercedes is very option heavy. So you get what you purchase. Definitely lives up to their modo.
The review was nice just like this GLE but I just have to point out the B roll footage of you guys actually using a mini basketball hoop and a basketball to display the slam dunk and airball. Thats pretty neat but also something we don’t see in this field of automotive journalist 😂😅.
Great stuff, also recommend doing shorts without voice and just demonstrating the interior and exterior of the vehicle. This can help your channel grow.
$78k for a 4 cylinder without HUD, heated rear seats, 4 zone climate, and cheap reflector LED headlights is ridiculous. Better off buying the MUCH nicer BMW X5!
I have the 2024 450 and it jerks when the car shifts down from gear 5 to 4. You guys don’t seem to mentioned that. Now just wondering if its only my car.
Thank you for this demonstration. I have seen your other video comparing the BMW X5 with the Mercedes GLE 350. I felt from that video that you lean slightly towards the BMW X5. I think I am going to ask you the tough question: If you are to buy a new car for 2024 with same equal options in both cars, which car will be your choice comparing the , options, comfort, power aesthetics and price? Another question, in 2024 both BMW and Mercedes are coming with both models in a plug-in Hybrid, do you think this is the way to go, or is it too early?
Glad you liked the review and comparison! They are such close products and we would be more than happy with either... But both Mason and I would lean towards the X5 because of some small advantages. As for the PHEVs, we have not driven either model so we can't say yet if they're the ones to pick. The specs suggest they might be.
Hi there. Do u know which package that brings 4 little leds for each side day time running light? The one u reviewed only had 2 on each side. Thank you.
Just watched the whole video! About time the GLE gets wireless carplay/android auto. I will be going in to my local dealer soon to get more info. Thank you for this video
Looking forward to the plugin hybrid review. Can you confirm if the three row option is available for it or if it only comes with the two rows. Thanks!
Mercedes could at least upgrade the technology something that the X5 also have which activated technology so Mercedes pleasing 2024 of great with technology
How did I not know that you guys were brothers?!?!? I watch you guys religiously and a few years ago I used to get you guys mixed up so I should have known lol.
wow what a nice car that interior looks super comfortable and with an available air suspension and being so quiet inside i might just look into buying one of these its everything im looking for in a luxury SUV...great review, thumbs up and subscribed
I have been shopping for awhile and the base option @ $62k is nowhere near the highest price choice in SUV’s for entry models. Many cars are over engineered with most of the BS never touched again by owners once they set it up. I like the idea that Mercedes gives you the option to pay only for what you want. I’m still considering other brands so not a fanboy yet.
How about a review of the 580? I just picked up a ‘24. This most non-premium and underpowered 4 cylinder power unit in the GLE 350 is not befitting a 5,000+ lb luxury SUV.
$1,700 for that paint color. It isn't evens some special matte paint or something either. That's just a bit silly. Maybe $300 extra but they shouldn't be charging for a different color in the first place. Car pricing is getting absolutely ridiculous. Mercedes just loves to charge insane amounts for anything they can. The interior in Mercedes just can't be beat IMO. They're so damn nice inside. It would be a shame to get such a nice/expensive vehicle and only get 255hp. Anything under 350hp just isn't enough for a vehicle like this. The 450 V6 puts out 375 and the V8 in the 580 makes 510 hp! I guess if someone is buying this just to have a Mercedes they wouldn't know the difference or care anyways.
Yeah but for $78k you don't even get 4 zone climate control let alone ventilated seats. Air suspension is also extra. That motor is very underwhelming. I'm surprised Mercedes even offers it on a vehicle this heavy. Realistically you're looking at mid to upper $80's for a reasonably equipped GLE with a real motor.
Honestly its a ridiculous price for what you get. No air suspension and a 2L 4 cylinder motor for $78k. It doesn't even have 4 zone climate control or heated back seats. I'm not impressed with the interior leather and whatever that black trim is. Is wood trim an upgrade? This is disappointing as I have owned 2 prior ML350's. They were in the low 60's for a similar configuration except they had rear seat climate control. There are better options for the price imo. At this point you are truly paying for the name.
Completely false the Mercedes four-cylinder in this car is the best sounding four-cylinder. I’ve ever test driven the Lexus four-cylinder was noisier less refined
This is what I’m talking about!!! Calling my hot gurls!!! All my hot gurls holla back at yo gurl!!! Clap clap clap those cheeks and get your boo to get you a whip like this!!! Sorry not sorry!!!!

I agree 💯 The GLE 350’s engine is a let down - a mere 2.0L inline-4 turbo isn’t sufficient for this SUV size
agreed. you can definitely tell how weak that is especially when you drive slight uphill on the highway. 2.0 engine replay struggles to accelerate.

There are two parties surrounding this new gle facelift, those who appreciate it, and those who just straight up hate it.
Hi! Great video as usual :) Looks like this model doesn't have the "Acoustic Comfort Package", curious to know how that package affects the sound level. Would be great if you could test that!
Love the suv just hate the expensive maintenance

thank you for your review.
Thanks! Sorry to hear that and hopefully everything gets fixed up soon
I think the new 450e is the sweet spot in this trim lineup.
Way more expensive and is it really worth having to put one of those chargers in your garage? Also, do you realize how many people don’t have garages?
Awesome video of the newly redesigned 2024 Mercedes Benz GLE!!! Great job guys!!!
Thanks, Nick!
A 2024 luxury car with reflector is honestly embarrassing especially when all competitors are full LED
Side reflectors are lawful. Not cheaping out
it's a base model.
They're reflector LEDs. Still pretty sharp and bright
Not to mention at $78k there is no rear seat climate control and you get a 2L motor. Just awful.

The worst part of the car is the tail light shape and they didn't change it. I'll wait for the next model.
Now my new Mercedes GLE SUV I can buy.

Do you think it can fit 10ft lumber with the rear hood close? It is okay if the lumber is touching the windshield.
Now that you have a tape measure to measure from the front to the back could you please measure the width too , thank you
Any information about technology , ADAS systems etc?
Great stuff, also recommend doing shorts without voice and just demonstrating the interior and exterior of the vehicle. This can help your channel grow.
Thanks! Funnily enough, we have started shooting ASMR Shorts with just the sounds of the car
Does the 450e have a spare tire?

In terms of maintenance cost LEXUS Is the way to go... RX, OR GX. Also turbo chargw is a trap. Breaks the engine easy and costly.
But it is a Lexus and this is a Benz. No contest.
That's the second owners problem

X5 is the winner in this segment. 4 cyl for $70k? Hell no.
Actually its closer to $80k for a 2L motor and nothing great on the interior. Very underwhelming.

The driver is meant to be short. Like 5 feet short to make him look big in the GLE which is misleading. I don't like that kind of misrepresentation.
