I’m thinking about purchasing a 450 but have only had a chance to drive a 350. Can you tell me if the exhaust is legit through the bumper exhaust ports or are they fake like the 350?
@@nathanbiermann4753 Very few cars have real exhaust anymore because real exhaust doesn't look good without spending a lot of money as a manufacturer. If that's what's keeping you from choosing the GLE, that's not a great reason.
You know people in other parts of the world actually off-road their GLE's right? There are markets where an Off-road Engineering Package is available, and that's who the "cheap" plastic fender flares are for.
one of the better videos on this model. Thanks. I am thinking on getting one of these this summer but I might wait to see what the 2021 models look like, or the amg
@@carbuzzcom Well i'm out of the country till next year anyways, and visit maybe twice, so I don't want it sitting in my garage where I can't enjoy it ;)So I might as well wait. I think i'll stick with the 450 though, thanks.
I test drove one of these when I was preordering my 2020 GLS and they are very nice cars. Almost convinced me to switch but sadly I need the extra space :(
With other companies doing a mild hybrid system, it makes you wonder why toyota still uses a CVT in their lexus hybrids when a 8-9 speed feels a lot better.
"The electronic CVT as used in Toyota/Lexus hybrids is a totally different concept from the sliding bands used in conventional CVTs like on Nissan and Honda products. The Toyota/Lexus Electronic CVT has proven to be nearly bulletproof so no worries on that front. yup. Lexus/Toyota eCVT only uses gears no belts" vs. Mercedes transmission problems...Nah, I'm good.
Im not sure about bounce mode. I have to check. It's so much to learn! My husband jokes that the new body style will be out before I learn all the bells and whistles 😂 I also have to add I haven't had a new vehicle since 2005..... It's like learning how to drive again! I p!an to upload a video from a lady's perspective really soon. I wish it had the active wristband like the f pace and velar. I went to the gym today and didn't have anywhere to put my key fob.
Thank you!! I live in New York City. I just custom ordered a 2020 GLE 450. I didn’t order the third row but how can I still get the adjustable second row without ordering the third row? Which package is that? Thanks again!
What else do you want to know about the 2020 GLE?

I want to know why i am paying 2300 EUR to panoramic sunroff vs 1100 dollars you have to pay in US wtf... :D
@@Sharphookshooks that stinks.
CarBuzz how do you change the suspension to off road ..
Got the 21 inch tires. Really beefs-up the footprint and improves the ride.
Ordered my GLE450 two weeks ago in Sydney!! ETD mid October’21

I love the dashboard/entertainment screen integrated, but wth is up with those 4 unevenly spaced air vents?? Seriously?

Thank you! 2021 probably won't be much different. We'd say just get this one, the AMG model will be highly unnecessary and less comfortable.

@@Quarrel47 ah, ok.
Nice review.... keep it up. Can you compare 2020 x5 and gle top spec in v6 inline models... which is the better one...?
We like the GLE more overall.

Those are full hybrids, not mild hybrids. But yes, we agree the Lexus CVT leaves a lot to be desired.

below it is the GL..C! minor error
Good catch, we did mean to say GLC
I picked up mine a week ago and I LOVE IT!!!!!!
Awesome! Does yours have bounce mode?
Waiting for the 2020 GLS450.
@@Endorion_YTC If you need the third row, then yes.

CarBuzz Of course the third row, especially it’s a full-size SUV with the Rear Executive Package I’m going for.
🥰🥰🥰🥰 great review 👍🏾
I love those second row adjustable seats, but do you have to get the third row to get adjustable second row seats?
No. This tester did not have a third row.

@@officesuperhero9611 sorry, not sure. Maybe consult the dealership.
Can suspension get low for loading or does it only go up? The older 2018 GLE/GLS only went up.
It lowers in sport mode and there is also an unloading mode.
You have to say hey mercedes not ok mercedes lol
Good review mate
Thanks!
How do you change the suspension
It's a knob on the center console.
It's alright
Love it!
i prefer the new lincoln aviator.
IT DOES get better: remove the dashboard fake air vents

Toooooo expensive.
