- If you're in the market for a luxury SUV, this should be on the top of your list. The GLE is superbly comfortable with an amazing interior. Sure this example costs $100,000 Canadian which is a bit but you're getting a lot of tech within this very pretty package.

Is the GLE the luxury SUV to get? Or is it the x5? or step up and get yourself a Range Rover.
Sorry about the audio, looks like there was some interference between my audio recorder and my phone.
Great review! I'm thinking of this or a Cayenne. My heart wants the Cayenne but I don't think anything beats the GLE's comfort.
@@fightingcarrot thanks! For sure, comfort wise Mercedes has it in the bag.
@@ImissyouwhenIblink_ it’s just an interior option.

Amazing review
Thank you!
Ur channel is underrated!!!
Thank you, appreciate your kind words!
Jimmy Mak... thank's for a great video. I've seen a few on the GLE 450 and yours a lot more informative and, maybe most importantly, more contextual. ie: what average buying will *actually* use.
Appreciate your kind words!
Some audio issues on this video keeps buzzing at random points. Other then that keep up the great work
Thanks! Yea, my phone and audio recorder were placed very close together causing some interference.
I got one yesterday got to wait 5 months I’m Australia
To my knowledge, mercedes dropped the E-Active Body Control in USA. Not many consumers bought this option since it is a very expensive one. Do you have any knowledge of the drive with the Airmatic Suspension vs the regular steel suspension? I test drove the regular steel suspension and the ride was very bump. Now the GLS comes with standard Airmatic suspension and I happen to test drive that just to get a feel of how it would be and possibly get it on the GLE 450. The ride was way smoother on the GLS but I was told at the dealer that GLS has a longer wheel base, so this makes it smooth. Any thoughts or knowledge on the airmatic suspension on the GLE 450?
Sometime next year I'm getting the GLE 350, I think the in-line 4-cylinder is sufficient for your usual commute or urban usage. If you want a more muscular engine then I think you might as well shell out the extra $$$ for the AMG version, or go with something like a Porsche Cayenne. The GLE is by far the most comfortable SUV to drive in the segment, no constructor even comes close. I've been most impressed by Merc's augmented reality navigation system, that's superb engineering there.
It’s sufficient for sure but sometimes when accelerating into the highway you want just a bit more, that’s why the GLE 450 makes sense.
@@JimmyMak Fair enough, I'm more interested in having the ultimate comfortable ride rather than outright power. How was your experience with using MBUX ? I'm guessing you have to be careful not to say "Mercedes" too often.
@@amanjassal3781 I don’t mind MBUX system that much and you can turn off the “Hey Mercedes” within the settings.
Oof, somebody reviewing in the Lower Mainland. Gotta support. I've seen a lot of these GLE's around lately, most of them are the 350. I can't believe people option this without the sport/night package which gets you the diamond grill/amg stying.
Appreciate it!
Good review. I bought this car a few months ago. The GLE 450 SUV. Not AMG styling. And many of the options yours included I got. I got the Airmatic which allows me to control car height and suspension. It’s $1700 US. Not E active. It’s the smoothest most comfortable and plush car I’ve ever driven. And when I want to feel a bit racy, I put it in sport mode and the car lowers. I press on gas and it has a really nice growl. I did have some issues with remote starting and the key fob not being detected. Which resulted in my bringing the car in 6 times. Yes. 6. Hopefully now addressed. I do love the car though. It cost me $81,000 US. I think it’s worth it.
Congrats on your purchase, hope your GLE will get its issues worked out.
@@JimmyMak Thanks! I certainly hope so. It has been 2 weeks with no issues. Hopefully, last time was the charm.
@@officesuperhero9611 congrats on the car. Did you compare with the Cayenne by any chance? I'm torn between the two
Did you test drive the 450 without the airmatic? If so, how big of a difference is it? I just test drove a GLE350, was not impressed with the ride, of course this was a basic GLE 350 and it was the only car on the lot mercedes seems to have these days.
@@sp00008 I have not but I have heard some people saying the ride with it feels a bit floaty. The airmatic allows you to adjust height of vehicle (5 inch difference) and suspension: harder for sport and floaty for comfort. There’s also a way to customize both to your liking. I wonder if you were not impressed due to the 350 which has a 4 cylinder engine. The 450 has 6. The difference in power is quite stark. Very very few GLEs are the 450s , so you will have some difficulty finding one.
I can't believe whoever optioned this particular GLE out decided to option the $6900 upgraded sound system and not spend $1350 for rear climate control (which should be standard on this).
hahah yea, questionable choices
My previous owner chose exactly the same thing. I guess he/she focused on the driver’s needs and ear seat passengers might just be his/her young kids.😂
How do you like this compared to the Cayenne?
I’ve yet to drive the latest Cayenne so I’m unable to tell you my opinion on the two vehicles at this time.
Je possède un GLE 400…. Excellente voiture, pourquoi pas un 450 !
Just went test drive today GLE 450. So my strong opinion: On bumpy road with asphalt this is SUV not smooth ride at all. You can feel it very well. After that I went to drive Audi Q7 and driving much smooth then Mercedes, but not enough room and so so technology. After that I went drive BMW X5. Unbelievable that is a SUPER machine. Will order 2021 BMW X5 45E hybrid.
Did you test drive one with e-active body control?
@@JimmyMak No Jimmy, dealer not offered it to us and they probably didn't have those feature in GLE 450 what we driven. May be it could be different I don't know but I wasn't impress with driven GLE 450- to hard and bumpy.
@@sunfarm1963 ah for sure, the ABC would be able to read the road and provide a much better ride. It’s been a while since I’ve driven the Audi or BMW so I’m unable to compare but the ABC is pretty magical.
I agree with you because I test drove a GLE 350 yesterday. Drive was just like you mentioned it, not smooth ride at all. Will the airmatic suspension make it smooth? I have no idea, I would really like to find out though because I have my eyes set on this GLE 450 but the dealers these days don't have anything on their lots to test drive and if they do, it is the basic steel suspension.
can GLE tow?
Yup 7700lbs
is the second row automatic?
No, to fold them you’ll need to manually pull a lever
Just ordered a 2021 GLE 450, with AMG Line Exterior, AMG Line Interior, running boards, driver assistance package plus, Premium 1 package, Metal Weave trim, 4-zone climate control, and MB-Tex upper dash and door trim. It all came up to around $73k. However I need to wait around 8 weeks for it to arrive. But, I’m very excited to get it.
Awesome! Beautiful spec as well!
Any one of these 450’s ordered and msrp below 75k usd shows buyer’s restraint 👏 how’s ur ownership so far?
Airmatic suspension? If so, how is the ride?
@@sp00008 Yes, its very nice. However I actually ended up getting an AMG GLE 53.
@@rraudales so Yes you did buy it with airmatic suspension? and it did drive way smoother than the basic steel suspension?
You saying 100k for this car is alot money . In my country this car 260k
Oh wow, where are you from?
@@JimmyMak im from a country called denmark it’s in EU
@@JimmyMak The gle63 amg is about 450k 🤯🤦🏼♀️😱
@@MegaCollector2010 wow I just did the conversion from The Denmark Mercedes website and sure enough it’s 250k for an optioned out GLE450.
@@JimmyMak yes it’s With alot off Dream options😀
Always Mercedes...
