#MercedesBenz invented the luxury SUV segment back in 1997 with the original #MClass and since then, automakers have scrambled to develop their own interpretation. Now in its fourth-generation and with a new name, the 2020 #GLE450 introduces a lot of first for #Mercedes, it brings back a straight 6-cylinder engine, a 48 volt mild-hybrid system, a magic adjustable air suspension called E-Active Body Control, and the completely redone interior looks as if it was lifted straight from an S-Class. Just be prepared to pay a pretty penny for one of the most sophisticated SUV's on the market. #GLEClass #MercedesBenzGLE450
Why do people always complain about the price?
If you can't afford a loaded edition buy one with fewer options.
Mercedes Benz products have always been pricey and never been designed to sell for Hyundai prices.
Preach,
@@veedub95 People who can actually afford to buy them don't complain about the price.
You so right, its quality, if can't afford it then get something else.
Thank you , someone with common sense . “ ItS So ExPeNsIvE”
It's funny cause I intended to buy the Palisade until I saw this. Now I might get this.
It would be nice for you to do a night time review. I could only imagine this interior at night
Please start doing this!! It would be great !
Wouldn’t even have to be at night! Just find a parking garage if possible.
That's what Winding Road Magazine is for.
It's fire!! We just got a 2020 gle and the ambiant lighting is insane!!! All of the colors are so vibrant and bright to make everything so cool
@@fazestanley9537 Nice.
Good ol Mercedes. When you can literally buy a whole car or two from the price of just the options😂.
GTP like really! 😂
And a better 2 cars at that lmaooo
I mean this thing goes up to 98K? For half that you can get a well-equipped RX 350 lol And guess what ?it works all the time
Keye T the RX has that terrible Lexus enform system that alone would make me buy something else
f181234 enform IS pretty awful lol
Two of my favorite car reviewers in one video... Alex on autos!
My Redline Reviews watching addiction is getting real lol
I honestly was expecting Alex to start twerking.
But seriously $98k, and it's not even the GLE 53, for a non-AMG package! At this point, I'd expect the GLS to reach $150k easily.
I saw a new GLE 350 yesterday from the rear, it was amazing looking.
Love your work and reviews.
Thank you and God bless, happy Memorial Day!
Another fantastic review Sofyan! You and the Redline crew are killing it! I love your in depth interior reviews, something I wish other channels would focus on more.
4:45 made my day I'm cryingggg
I like the EQC front design, maybe they can do something similar with other models. Mercedez interiors are superb.
Wealthy Soccer moms rejoice! Your old Benz is back
I just went to the dealership to look at this, yesterday. Was underwhelmed.
The 350 is a poor value. It's four cylinder has 40 less HP than a Lexus RX350 V6, but only get s the same EPA MPG. And the dealership has poor salesmen who don't know how to sell a car. Very lazy, almost smug
People may walk in and just buy the brand, but that doesn't mean you don't have to be a professional salesman.
Many of them feel the badge alone sells the car so they don’t have to work for it. But I feel ya, if I am considering dropping $50k and up for a car, please be able to answer my questions.
I was very unimpressed with the Lexus. Infotainment is horrible and Lexus cost cutting is horrible.
Seeing how you're lamenting 40 HP difference, we'd think you're racing these cars out. Yall need to stop watching so many damn car reviews because it's getting yall out of touch with reality.
The 350 is a terrible choice. I had it for a week. It struggles to pull such a giant car and i could hear the engine working very hard to get it going...Imagine this suv would not be a good idea to own long term. The 450 is much better for power, but it's way too expensive. Also, all the gadgets are kinda distracting. I will stick with GLE, i like the looks better anyways and i get a V6 that didn't cost 80-90k
This new suspension and Ebody control is incredible and a real differentiator!! Puts it in a different league to X5, Range Rover Sport, and Cayenne. Perfect for a comfy family hauler.
"The iPhone is going to USB-C next year"... That's a bold statement.
Best car reviewer on RUclips! Love your reviews man, especially the your reaction during test drives.
98k don't worry this car packaged the same will be 50 in 2 years 😎
BangzHomie I would buy the Acura RDX over this
no one in the Merc, bmw game would drive anything older then 3 years old. if your merc or bmw is older then three years; you are old or broke.
@@digitalsaint2040 I see alout of old BMW out there
digitalsaint2040 actually people who have a new car lease every 3 years are usually broke unless they own a business and the lease is a write off.
digitalsaint2040 that’s why they’re so many Mercs and bmw older than 3 yrs on the road right 🤨
if you're blown away by this interior review the Audi Q8...the germans are killing it this production cycle
incediery, this interior is all show, with a lot of cheap materials. Once you start touching things, you’ll find a lot of cheap plastics. BMW & Audi use better materials.
@@ajlee6933 my point exactly...that's why I suggested he review the latest Audi products because he said this interior was superior to the other Germans
AJ Lee Audi is guilty too, I looked at a Q7 yesterday, the lower half of the doors are cheap plastic.
NLG1, the Q7 plastic on the lower door is pretty average for the class. It’s not hard touch, nor soft touch. When you scratch the plastic, it doesn’t have that cheap sound like the GLE. However, if you want the best materials throughout, BMW wins hands down.
Armando Sturzenegger, no offense to Corolla owners, but I’m a true car enthusiasts. Buying a corolla will never be option for me.
This car has Lease Only written all over it!!
Mike Litoris Yeah, once I saw the suspension
can you imagine having to deal with that suspension out of warranty? haha.
J EXACTLY... and thats a $8000 OPTION??!!! im surprised its not $12K knowing mercedes... They must think we're bat shit crazy
@@JDMHaze Honestly, I feel like if someone can afford this car at a pretty loaded price (90k or so), the 8000 option is probably a drop in the bucket.
J perhaps
Great review! This GLE raises the bar in this highly competitive segment of the SUV market. I like the simple rounded lines of the exterior, though not as round as the Porsche Cayenne, it looks more elegant than the multi-angled body lines of the other competitors. The interior is truly impressive with so much luxury, technology and adjustability features. This model lives up to the Mercedes Benz motto of “The best or nothing.”
The E active body control I’ve heard was designed to break yourself a loose from being stuck in sand/mud etc. instead of just spinning, it’ll rock itself free.
Saw this in the highway yesterday and was very impressed👍
$53 ish for a starter in the 350, will wait, its on top of my list. I drive a 17' Camry
Modern Soccer That's bare bones sir, you know everything is a option there, you're lucky if they don't charge you for seats, you'll easily be at the 61K
Keep the camry
I wish it was only $53.
$98k that price is out of reach for most people.
Yeah, most luxury items are out of reach for most people. First class travel, private yachts, 5 star hotels, Michelin restaurants, etc. What's your point?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH what is a Michelin Restaurant? Do they have cheeseburgers?
@@OMGWTFLOLSMH a mercedes g class, isnt in the same group of luxury a yacht or any of the above
Mercedes isn't targeting "most people". That's what Toyota and Chevy are for.
@@iggibars Mercedes is overrated shit boxes that without the badge are about as good as a Chevy and far worse than a Toyota...atleast the cheap ones in my opinion
Mercedes is and has always been #1 in terms of luxury
@@JaggedMercenary Subjective.
wish they kept the round vents, these rectangular ones looks like giant buttons!
Agreed.
Armando Sturzenegger dmbas
I think I'll buy a used 2017-2018 GLE (loaded) in the 550 PHEV configuration, as it gets me out of a 40% tax on imports (Puerto Rico), and is still a great car.
First video ever, that I've seen you literally cracking up, instead of being so serious and yappy. Good to see.
Depreciation on Mercedes is crazy wait 2 years and you will have this baby around 40k-50k.
Let's assume it'll come problem-free....
I am so rich I didnt even have time for depreciation , as soon as its like the third week I will switching a new car. Lol I felt bad for poor people
@@lakeatman504 trolly troll troll
@@lakeatman504 ❤
When Gle is rocking don’t come knocking. Haha
best interior for a luxury crossover imo
Dithh they’re nice
they need to make this with the g wagon vents like they did the glb
U CAN NEVER GO WRONG WITH A BENZ....
49ers Wrong is only way you go with the benz,
@@JDMHaze Why are you here, then? To tell us you are too poor?
The suspension on that thing is the best in the business
GLE 53 AMG later review
8k+ for a fancy suspension that’s guaranteed to break down 👍
I like the styling quite a bit, but I'd buy it for the air suspension ride and the quietness, which = long journey comfort.
Never knew AlexonAutos could be this fun. Great job guys
4:44
I love how Alex (Alex on Autos) makes an appearence! It was a pleasant surprise.
I love when you and Alex get together. I’m also glad to see you guys having fun.
Looks like a refresh outside. Can’t brag about the interior too much because the last years version looked like an interior from the late 90s early 2000s way to finally catch up Benz.
I’ll explain the car further for you guys since I have it, both sides, left and right for ur arm at the front are heated too (including ur seat obvsly) wireless charging with a case on too, 7 seats option, hologram option for the driver, live traffic info to give you the quickest way to your destination, only usb-c, no other type of USB, 64 different colour options, my favourite r, neon green, hot pink and deep purple, ambient lighting interior is under the front seats, under the windows, behind the screens. There is more and I said all of this before watching the video so idk if he mentioned this.
If you take away the air suspension and the top of the line sound (there is a lower level Burmister $5500 cheaper) which is hard to tell the difference with traffic noises, that will be 14K cheaper.
$90k?!?!?! Maaaaaaaan
for the pathetic MB reliability totally not worth it, it could lose half value after 3 yrs
Jes, but imagine going to McDonald's, parking or through traffic by using bounce control(aka e active body control).
@@tl1539 Why you so poor?
Lowkey you’ve been doing every car Doug Demuro’s been doing lol
Nick Jarrett Doug is trash lmao. He’s a sellout.
@@scorpionic3599 Wrong.
That’s my beat they used for their little fun with the cars suspension
No. No it isn’t
The air suspension bouncing this is stupid... but kinda cool lmao
Matthew Jacobs That’s exactly what we thought when we first saw it...
This is truly the Fastest SUV you can buy!
These are very cool, not 98k cool but to each his own. I do have to say though those 315 tires are going to suck in snow. MB air suspension works incredibly well but I’ve personally seen the repair bills for that system and it will stop your heart lol.
This is vehicle that you do a 3 yr lease and dump it for a new model.
They have gone batshit 100k wtf its just crazy so many options for 65k to 75k that will outperform this in everyway ill give one example jeep srt for 78k and thats only one i could go on the tech inside the benz is only thing that outways the rest of the segment
The two large TV screens are WAY too much........The analog and digital screen combination was much better. The look is okay.........The price WAY too much...........Of course for most German cars Do NOT buy definitely lease. Undoubtedly the repair bills will be more astronomical than the initial price. You can probably wait until 2023 when the leases for these are up and buy one for around $35,000 keeping in mind that the major repair costs will just be getting started.
Rich people don't complain
So so so true 😣
I like it I just can't see the value in this SUV The MDX is a better value but not a better SUV in my opinion. This SUV loaded up will run you a $100,000 grand. duh. A top end loaded MDX will run you about 60,000 Who wants a four cylinder in the 350 GLE to get the price of the SUV to compete with the MDX duh. Great Review though as usual. Thanks!!!!!!
I seen one in person the other day and LOVED the looks of it
Me too.
Totally agree with how he felt, but GLE looks like a completely different car with an AMG pack (allows MB appeal to vastly different tastes) whereas X5's with and without the M Pack look relatively similar.
The first Mercedes-Benz to feature BMW M performance! It’s a cross venture. You can get the 2020 3 series with an optional AMG package. 🤣
Thank you for this detailed review of the GLE 450. I’m looking to purchase one in the coming months, and this video has been very helpful.
I don't know if I've ever seen a better example of a car priced for a harsh depreciation curve and leasing.
I choked on my water when he said “M sport package” 😂
Samuel Serrano how much will that be??? My god if this is 98k whats the amg model 125k holy shit
I can appreciate the cooled/ventilated seat was on throughout this review. There is something to be said about having the seat temperature option for both cool and warm.
@5:10 just like you it squeaks LOOL fantastic review man!
I saw your review of the X5. Personally, the GLE 450 with the AMG appearance package blows the X5 away and thank you for your review, I'm very impressed!
Under 6 seconds 0-60 in a 4900lb suv is pretty impressive especially one that wasnt build as a performance suv and is not even an amg
i work at the mbusi plant in vance alabama and this is my first time seeing this car up this close
nice SUV, but not sold on the exterior at all (especially the back side which looks more hideous in the GLS - like a Peugeot 504 wagon). I still think the new BMW X5 is the better looker.
De U Are you serious Peugeot 504 lol
@@ARRehman802 lol. I am. Sure this this a modern vehicle. But I can't helpt but think of 504 station Wagon from Peugeot.
My opinion though
wait in what dealership you got the 450? I could only buy the 350 and now I am stuck, the 450 has EQ boost
I love that infotainment in this vehicle.
Kid with 120: a Mercedes Benz can only drive 50,000 miles 5 years
A Prius: I can drive 100,000 miles up to ten years
Mercedes: I just got roasted by a prius
How can you say it doesn't look nice on the exterior?? I think it's the best looking in its class.
That Interior is so Nice and the end of the video with the bumblebee was hilarious you did a great Review and I like that you put like extra clips at the end of the video.
They nailed the interior, best interior in the segment.
Looks even better in dark red or dark grey. Matter of opinion, but a darker tone won´t contrast the black wheel arches that much. Also the previous ML from 2012 or so was already quite big, this one is even longer and wider. Obviously the main market for GLE is North America and China, because big SUV´s are not very popular in Europe.
Considering the E-ABC option is $8k from the factory, I couldn’t imagine the cost of replacement when a shock goes out.
The screens are “high tech” but honestly rather distracting (esp yhr tach screen is like in your face) when driving esp at night....... they should have pushed back the left screen somewhat
Beauty is distracting. I have an e-class with the same screen on the right. The navigation and carplay look amazing. My kids and friends always talk about it. The problem is you get used to it and expect it in all other cars I'm in. Mercedes had these screens in 2016 and BMW is just putting 12 inch screens in their new X5s. New A6/A7 have this size screen now. Tesla always had huge screens. I think it will be the new normal.
I have these tires on my x5. The tires cost $3000 crazy price for rubber.
The GLE 450 as tested here is $11K USD more than a BMW X7 X40i I saw at my local BMW dealership.
And I will pick the X7 over the GLE 450
@@ARRehman802 Likewise
@@ARRehman802 Those aren't even competing.
@@kamala80 That is because of the the E-active body control, obviously. Why you so cheap?
@@ClaireYunFarronXIII If you deem me cheap from pricing these SUVs I'll gladly take that label.
5:12 the camera guy really did come at you 😂😂😂😂
That E Active suspension won't be so great when it inevitably fails in a few years.
All I can do is roll my eyes at such daft comments. Do shock absorbers last forever? No. So what makes you think air suspension wouldn't need replacing either? It's more expensive obviously but that is why you get a superior ride.
@@SDav21 people complain about nothing some time.
thank you I just bought one of these, your review was great :D
Yes I agree with lease only . I love the technology and safety of eactive body control . Sounds like it’s worth the 8,000 because suvs tend to roll but slowing down is a lot cheaper . But the ride quality is probably affected a lot to Eli justify the price. I like it but I think the g,s 450 is bigger for me , this seems tight and compact . Thanks for the review . As always you are straight to the freaking point and honest .
I came here to listen to your end-of-video melody; I'm addicted to it, Sofyan! As always, another great review ending in that sensuous and enchanting melody. 💓💓💓
Saw one the other day, love it!!!
i wish it had somethin similar to the x5s camera system cuz its too goodd🔥
I would love to see one of these things with 100K miles on it lol
This interior is all show. Start touching things, and you’ll notice that it has a lot of cheap materials throughout the cabin. This isn’t the case in the X5 or Q8/Q7.
AJ Lee that is not true, get into a Q7 then scratch the cheep plastic Audi use for the lower doors. Even in the Kia K900 has soft materials on the lower doors.
NLG1, the plastic Audi uses is acceptable for the class. It doesn’t have the cheap feel that the GLE has. However, if you want the best materials in this class, the X5 wins hands down.
AJ Lee I was disappointed, it’s not satisfactory for a 75k SUV in my mind.
I can smell the depreciation.
LOL the second you sign that loan contract.
lol omg , I felt bad for poor people , yall have to worry about depreciation but at the same time you all want to fit in with rich people.Thank god I am not poor.
@@lakeatman504 You're so rich, you don't have to worry about subject verb agreement... or a photo that shows you not about to choke on hotdogs or a large penis. God it must be nice, Malachi.
Just in case you're wondering, this is what winning a stupid RUclips comment section looks like... It looks like what I wrote. Read above. Yay!!! Now get in your Kia Sedona and drive off into the sunset darling.
@@nickschulman986 but why tho. I love my Mercedes and there is nothing you can do about it.
This car is hilariously and needlessly complicated. A suspension that pushes the car in the opposite direction of the turn by manipulating each individual wheel?
I love technology, but some things are just unnecessary. This is the reason why MB is unreliable. It’s not a matter of IF that suspension will break, it’s a matter of when and how much. The money they spent developing that suspension, they could have developed simple 2 mode ajustable suspension with two well worked out and supple settings. But no. We get a low rider.
People that can afford the best, and/or newest tech, don't care. People back in the day didn't think we needed power steering or AC, etc. If you want a Model T, go buy one.
wonderful cars to lease. Would never own one long term. That's crazy.
Would you chose this or an E450 Wagon 4Matic? I wonder why the wagon is almost $8K more expensive than this GLE?
OMG SOY! You don’t have over a MIL Subs? There is NO reason to not be over a MIL. Look at the quality if these videos. And allowing FUN moments like ALEX on the GLE bouncing and laughing.
$98K opens up a huge field of autos that I would consider , were I to spend that kind of money. One could buy two very nice loaded SUV's for what one of these costs.
If this car is rocking. Dont come a knocking
2020 march my gle 450 is coming💕❤️💕❤️im excited... cant wait!
I'd say Range River started this segment.
Really nice, but the minute Sofyan began talking about getting use to all the tech i said, don't like an extended learning curve with any car, all i really want to do is get from A to B and that's it. I don't want to live in my car.
Does it have a full size spare? Run Flats? Where are the batteries? Does the dealer have to reset a computer when they are changed?Does it have a dipstick for the engine? 20 year 3 Benz family here.
You should do a review of the 2020 GLE350 with the AMG line exterior. You can get a nice gle for about $76k.
have always had one question in regards to all these vehicles that have these touch screens nowdays, know that after time, that when you use your fingers to use the touchscreens, the display can get quite messy with fingerprints, but know to take care of that you can just get a bottle of that screen cleaning spray to clean off all of the fingerprints, but the main question I have is, on these which would you say is easier to use on these touch screens, your actual fingers, or one of those stylus pens like whhat alot of people use on either thier smartphones or tablets, probably the stylus's would probably be alot less messy on the vehicle's touchscreens I bet.......
He says hey mercedes, voice says how can I help you, screen says how may I help you.
Mercedes Benz's interiors are 100% better than BMW and Audi interiors. You cannot change my mind.
If I had the money to lease For looks yes I would in a heartbeat but for reliability and high resale I’ll stick with Lexus and hello Alex on Autos lol
