2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE350 Unboxing - This Is The Original Luxury SUV
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 28 ноя 2016
- Today's unboxing review is for an SUV that most everyone is quite familiar with, the 2017 Mercedes-Benz GLE350. Before we go any further, you should know that the GLE-Class used to be known as the M-Class, which debuted back in 1997. In fact, the M-Class was the first luxury SUV to have electronic stability control. However, Mercedes changed the name for 2015. Why? Because the German automaker wanted all of its crossovers/SUVs to have a three-letter moniker. Aside from that, the GLE350 is still the great mid-size luxury crossover we've come to love over the years. Power now comes from a 3.5-liter bi-turbo V6 with 302 hp and 273 lb-ft of torque. Power is sent to all four wheels (this is the AWD 4Matic model) through a seven-speed automatic transmission.
Our tester came painted in Polar White along with optional 20-inch 5-spoke alloy wheels. We also really liked the optional illuminated star on the front grille for an extra $550. What about a third-row? Nope. This is strictly a two-row crossover, and that's a good thing because you'll want the available cargo space instead of an extra set of seats. Along with Mercedes' COMAND infotainment system, Apple CarPlay and Android Auto capability, the GLE350 is a great all-around package. Just one thing, however: it's aging. Fast, and the competition is fierce. Enjoy the review!

I think it’s perfect. Classic. Awesome vehicle. That’s why I just bought one😀👏👏👏
my husband has this car and IDC what people say its classy and soooo COMFY.i love it!
One mistake that is not a turbocharged V6. The E350 I have has the same engine that is naturally asperated. Other than that great job! We are considering getting this car!
Amazing that you showed a car seat in the back! Exactly what I needed to see! Thank you!
Awesome! I knew using that car seat would come in handy! You're actually the first person to specifically point that out :-)
I agree
Used GLE's (and GLC's) are actually great deals if you stick to just the basic six cylinder with regular suspension. Just avoid the high end turbo charged and AMG engines and things like air ride suspension, they require lots of (expensive) maintenance as they age. I purchase a low mileage 2016 V6 GLE in 2019 and have driven the hell out of it for work (over 78k miles) and have never had to do anything but regular maintenance (oil changes, brakes and the like). And no, unlike some of the high end Mercedes (like the S Class), you don't have to take them to the dealer for every service or oil change, they are common enough that my local Valvoline changes the oil and does regular maintenance without a second thought (for $50 versus $250 at the dealer).
The base GLC usually have the 2.0L turbo-4 engine, unless you get the GLC 43 AMG which has a twin-turbo inline-6
It's normally aspirated in the 3.5 liter V6 not bi-turbo. The GLE43,63,63S uses bi-turbo technology in a 3.0 V6 and 4.0 V8.
Jay, what a beautiful interior. The high quality materials jump out of the video. the GLE incorporates so many of the new enhancements found in Mercedes sedans. Top notch. I really like this offerring
Yeah, it's nice but I still think the GLE-Class is in need of a complete redesign. There's a new BMW X5 on the way, too.
I disagree.I like physical buttons and traditional styling. This is plenty hi tech enough for me😀
Very informative and helpful.
Nice video ! You mentioned a lot of facts
He driving me crazy how he is pressing all of them buttons lol.
very well done video. u got my sub
Thanks!
The car does look dated. Elegant but certainly older then it's competitors. They are suppose to revamp the body and styling for 2018. Greatly looking forward to it. I have a feeling it will look like an extended GLC however.
The reason for the nomenclature change never had anything to do with BMW. It was a company-wide change to make their nomenclature more intuitive... All SUVs begin with GL and have three letters (minus the G-Class). GLA, which they consider a crossover SUV, GLC, GLE, GLS. In speaking of classes, GLA is similar to a CLA, GLC is the C-Class of SUVs, GLE is the E-Class of SUVs, GLS is the S-Class of SUVs... hence the last letter of each model name.
Also, they don't advertise it as such, but the GLE Coupe is standardly an AMG. You will never find a GLE Coupe that does NOT have an AMG engine, which may explain the hiked MSRP if you're looking at that. Just spittin' knowledge!
Nice car except the halogen headlights
wow they changed the 350 engine to a twin turbo,,,, i have the NA engine and i love it
nvm the gle350 is a NA 3.5 liter. the gle400 and gle43 amg is a 3.0 liter biturbo
I have this vehicle with factory installed hitch and 7 pin plug. I am not sure either it is set up for electric trailer brake ??
Hey how do you do that augmented reality-ish text and 3d box in the intro? thanks

I would really recommend max merc and this channel to you all so pls just see max merc videos and subscribe to him he is really putting out lot of hardwork max merc and this channel is the best
Now that it’s 2024 how has your 2016-2018 GLE held up ??
A panoramic sunroof is optional in this generation of the ML/ GLE
Ugh I really don't like that interior, they should do more of the new sedan design scheme
Like I said, that interior dates back several years and there's only so much that can be done with an older design.
I still want the GLE 400! You know...The model that the whole damn earth gets by not the states! The GLE 42 is just away for Mercedes to gouge it's core customers in the states!
Can you try to review the Tesla Model S?
Oh man, I've been trying. Problem is Tesla doesn't work like any other automaker in that they have few press cars. But I'll keep trying, I promise!
👍
Ya got to stop calling it the "M" class reference! It was the "ML" class. Never a "M" class!
Good point, but in Mercedes-Benz speak, they went by M-Class in their vehicle history, so that's what I did as well.
E. Simons damn upset much. Calm the fuck down!!!
thats what they called the ML ... M class
Peking house douglas, ga 31533 chinese restaurant the owner has same vehicle but different wheel type.
The car is not turbocharged
Test drive Porsche Macan
From what I heard it sounds like you don't know much about the ML class.
that is because he sucks ass at reviewing....
The original luxury SUV could also be considered the Lexus RX
8:32 benz will lunch its first autonomous driving car around 2020 and by 2025 first autonomous self driving truck...(they already presented the truck)
Wow, we're now in 2023 & I don't think they've actually managed to do that
Hello sir , please can I your contact to speak confidential about GLE ?
PEORIA,ILLINOIS...
I own this car it’s much better than the BMW
Looks so outdated, there's so much better in the market, the Jag f pace, The Lexus RX and Porsche Macan. They are all far better than this car.
Exactly! Despite the recent refresh this thing is somewhat outdated. That's why I said Mercedes really needs to get a redesign done soon.
Macan is smaller. Lexus has less power and features. And the Jag has horrible reliability. I’d take the GLE over all those. The Cayenne would be a better comparison
@@calicav84 don't forget about the Volvo XC90
@@1GQ_gent Volvo never gets any love 😂
I think the original luxury suv is the lexus rx
No, the Lexus RX is the original crossover.
The Range Rover was out long before all of them.
outdated interior looks like the 2007 still
the interior looks dull
This guy , with a awful hair style and no shower trying to do a review on a luxury suv , what a joke, I bet he drives a Saturn.
