my mom got this car a few weeks back and it's the best vehicle we've yet to own. It drives like a yacht, holds literally everything, and is the best option for a full size luxury suv.
What happened to when you would start up the car... I'm disappointed because that was my favorite part and I'm sure it was a lot of other people's favorite part... Sigh
To be honest, I completely forgot to do it on this one. For certain vehicles, I'm trying out a shorter, more quick hitting format so I can get videos uploaded faster. This way I can work on the seriously in-depth videos, but still have other cool videos ready to go! I filmed this video before the Renegade I uploaded the other day, which if you saw that one I did include it. Call it a learning curve :) No worries!
Awesome SUV! Mercedes does an awesome job making these. Build quality, styling and features are just awesome! That's why I love Mercedes so much. Thanks for uploading and don't forget, you're awesome!
Love your videos! It was such a relief that this was the only video to be in a different format.... I've been watching you since like 2010 when u had ur Genesis Coupe! Keep up the great work
Hey saabkyle I've been watching your videos for such a long time know since your wildfire and family dealership start ups. I still love watching your videos! Keep up the fantastic work Kyle!
The GL has always been one of my favorite vehicles on the road (My aunt has a '13 GL450) and sadly I like that one much more than the new GLS, its quite disappointing
+GDZLLR I disagree I had the opportunity to drive a 2011 Ford Ranger whenever I take a road trip (my road trip vehicle) and when I'm driving at night time the fog lights help dramatically, almost all my cars I've ever owned they had fog lights, but the rarely even worked. My Audi A6 fog lights don't work, my first car (Honda Civic) they had plastic fog lights so they just broke. Lol.
It is true that fog lights are useless unless you have really shitty headlights. All fog lights do is light up the front 10 feet of the car which the headlights already do. Driving in pitch black, headlights are usually enough unless you are hauling ass in the mountains or straights, in which you need a further sight distance.
That's quite innovative for Mercedes to have the right front seat to move forward by itself when ever you fold forward the second row right seat so that way there is more space to get in the third row. I say 'innovative' because you can expand the interior space without having to expand the exterior length of the SUV which would make parking it harder. I guess there is more reason for the front seats to be powered.
The GL is nowhere near the size of a Lincoln Navigator, or the escalade. The GL dates back to the Diamler Chrysler mashup, meaning that car is basically the same underpinnings as the Dodge Durango. This means it is more comparable to a Chevy Tahoe, Dodge Durango(obviously), etc. It is not a full-sized suv (in the way a suburban or navigator is) so can everyone stop acting like it is
An Escalade is basically a Tahoe, they're the same size. The GLS actually has more third seat room than the Escalade from what I remember. A Suburban or an Escalade ESV would be completely different animals as they're on a stretched wheelbase. Considering the size and pricepoint, they would compete in the same class.
Interesting, I'm curious though, how does the Mercedes compare to the Dodge Durango dimensionally?? Obviously it would not compete in the same class, but I read that they were related.
This is the competitor to the Range Rover vogue so no but the Q7 is better it is also Cheaper, in the UK these are definitely not popular the only SUV's that is the GLE coupe the GLE itself tips to popular either people like range rovers and Audis more along with the X5 that's really popular they are everywhere including the uk police
Having owned a GL450 for 3 years of this generation, I can tell you that the Airmatic suspension is wonderful to live with...and the base V8 was so nice. Like 5.7 seconds to 60. V6 was like 5.9 seconds in testing, but having driven both, there's a much larger difference than the numbers suggest. I hope that's better, though, now with the 9 speed.
My family has had a 2007 Mercedes GL 550 and they're a bitch to own. Beautiful vehicle but the maintenance is excessively expensive and they lose their value quickly. We traded it in for a Ford Expedition and it was a better choice. We paid over 90k for this SUV and didn't get anything close to that when we traded it in after three years of ownership. If you buy a Mercedes, buy one used.
expeditions are fancy as fuck tho. sat in a top trim and it had driver's seat massaging. that was back in 2012, no other entry level fullsize offered that.
Could you make vid talking about how to financilyy responbilly own a car. (as in how much should you spend on a car) Im 23 years old i want to hear diffrent opinions before i buy my first car. nice review BTW asalways thumbsup
Can you make a video of the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier? I've been wanting one but I normally check your videos first before I go and look. Thank you
I love your videos. I own a GT350, Town Car and F-150. Thinking about trading the truck in for a GLS450 or a new Navigator. Which one would you go for and why?
Hi Kyle! Do you plan on coming to Illinois again anytime soon? Because there is a Volvo dealer in Oak Park where you may be able to video there new S60 Polestar.
love this new quick review, don't get me wrong i like your long format but let's be honest, not every car needs a 40 minutes detailed review. As for the car, XC90 seems to make a lot more sense to me
It's time for you to do another Rolls Royce Phantom, and your new collard shirts look really great..... When you are the best you have to look like the best. Your reviews are so incredible, they are the only place on RUclips that a person can REALLY learn about cars they are curious... YOU HAVE NO EQUAL on RUclips... Thanks Kyle !
Saabkyle04 Is there anyway you can do a full depth review of the Gls550 been thinking about getting one and want to see you do a review on the Gls 550 btw your review are amazingly helpful
+Saabkyle04 the Audi Q7 is very comfortable for 7 passengers and is very well made, we are getting a 7 series instead. I live in the uk and the third row is not optional but it could be in America
This new naming system is pointless. I can see them renaming the M-Class to GLE, but what the hells up with GLS? The GL isn't a 4 door version of a coupe(like the CLS). It used to be simple, G was the flagship SUV. GL full size SUV. M(GLE)mid sized. GLK compact. GLA Sub compact.
It's because you live in the US so you don't have all the models but they have the GLE coupe which is a competitor to the X6 so they changed the Amal to GLE SUV as the coupe is based on it, the names done mean anything really they are just differentiated for thier own suitability as are Audis and BMW's
+David Lennox what about the G-Class? That's the big bad Mercedes Benz SUV(not physically, but where it sits in the lineup). And what about the CLS? CL has been renamed the S coupe. This whole naming system is a cluster fuck rn.
Who designed those rims? Fired.
I agree, it's atrocious. Almost criminal.
i agree they make the suv look ugly
Mercedes does this so you pay several thousand more for nice rims.
+Garrett McKie Exactley they purposley make them look uglier than than the GLS with more options, so you pay more for it
I like them
my mom got this car a few weeks back and it's the best vehicle we've yet to own. It drives like a yacht, holds literally everything, and is the best option for a full size luxury suv.
Man... those rims are ugly af lmao
They are.
ikr
Looks like GTI wheels on a GLS.
Toyota Rims
They look so plastic
What happened to when you would start up the car... I'm disappointed because that was my favorite part and I'm sure it was a lot of other people's favorite part... Sigh

I filmed this video before the Renegade I uploaded the other day, which if you saw that one I did include it. Call it a learning curve :) No worries!
I know :) I'll be sure to include that in all of the future "Test Drive & Review" videos, thank you for understanding!
+Saabkyle04 GREAT! your awesome Kyle been here since you reviewed that 2002 BMW 7 series
I really appreciate that my friend, thank you!! Have a great day!
+Saabkyle04 thank you saabkyle
The rims look like they belong on a Toyota Camry
Do not talk about my Toyota Camry. Talk Foolishly, receive comeuppance!
aeperformance48 fr
Camry master race
Everything looks really good except those wheels. Blugh!
John Doe o
They have other wheels..those are the cheap ones .
The screen integrated with the dash board always looks better, I know it is the new trend among automakers.
An interesting trend for sure. Chevrolet is doing it a lot too now, not sure what I really think about it yet haha. It's different that's for sure!
Very good job, Kyle ! I simply love alle your car reviews, they are all reallyTOP 👍
Awesome SUV! Mercedes does an awesome job making these. Build quality, styling and features are just awesome! That's why I love Mercedes so much. Thanks for uploading and don't forget, you're awesome!
Too much plastic material same problem with the new Mercedes
At first I hated the design, but now the more I look at it, the more I love it!
my dad has this car is so awesome, lighting package, different wheels, glowing star, running boards, etc
You probably have the sport package with adds different wheels. My parents have a Lexus LX, Mercedes SL, and an S Class.
Jack Z Not really, rich is a salary 50mil +
Jack Z You know that “middle class” exists, right?
Jack Z Yes, but that doesn’t make me rich.
NorthAmerican Auto ya niggas like 11 years old stfu
Are these reliable?
Love your videos! It was such a relief that this was the only video to be in a different format.... I've been watching you since like 2010 when u had ur Genesis Coupe! Keep up the great work
Thank you my friend!!
This guy does the best reviews for luxury SUVs
My dream Mercedes SUV! Terrific job bro.
Hey saabkyle I've been watching your videos for such a long time know since your wildfire and family dealership start ups. I still love watching your videos! Keep up the fantastic work Kyle!
The GL has always been one of my favorite vehicles on the road (My aunt has a '13 GL450) and sadly I like that one much more than the new GLS, its quite disappointing
I hate how they replaced the twin turbo V8 with a twin turbo V6
No.. Not at all the same car
+John Doe definitely not the same car. Especially the inside and the new front end looks terrible. It doesn't feel as Mercedes esq as the old one
Too much plastic material same problem with the new Mercedes
That white GLS 450 is my favorite Suv and I'm willing to lease one for 3 Years
Those Rims make this SUV Look like a 2010 Benz
Did they get those rims from Walmart??
Those rims are the base package.
How will it do offroad? My dad owned one ( '08 GL450) for 6 moths, and it was a headache
What a concise video that was very comprehensible. Good job!
Wow! New video just day after day.
as always best reviews of cars from saabkyle04
It's nearly $70,000 and it doesn't have fog lights?
Fog lights are basically useless to the driver.. I get the feeling that they are produced just to blind the other cars on the road
+GDZLLR I disagree I had the opportunity to drive a 2011 Ford Ranger whenever I take a road trip (my road trip vehicle) and when I'm driving at night time the fog lights help dramatically, almost all my cars I've ever owned they had fog lights, but the rarely even worked.

Driving in pitch black, headlights are usually enough unless you are hauling ass in the mountains or straights, in which you need a further sight distance.
albert7139 fog lights? nigga with that much cash being spent on the car u better be able to see the future
albert7139 It's inside the LED lights, Audi does it too but Audi calls it All weather light
Did Frigidaire inspire the design of this oversized deep freezer on wheels?
That's quite innovative for Mercedes to have the right front seat to move forward by itself when ever you fold forward the second row right seat so that way there is more space to get in the third row. I say 'innovative' because you can expand the interior space without having to expand the exterior length of the SUV which would make parking it harder. I guess there is more reason for the front seats to be powered.
can you get a hold of a jaguar f pace?
can any one tell me what is MB Tex for the interior of this car?
Kyle can you put your hand on the 2017 Nissan armada I would like to see the third row space Thanks
Holy cow!! Kyle was just in my hometown! Sweet!!
why don't u review the gls63 amg?
hey guys i need advice should i trade my 2014 gl450 for this gls
The pre refresh ones looked way better then the refreshed one.
Can you please do a video on the latest cayenne, your last video of the porsche cayenne is 5 years old, Thanks
Good Video, nice Infos, decent Editing...ur channel could be the next big one

I just really love the designs of Mercedes suv's what do you think about it ?
when will you do the 2016 toyota sienna?
Hi, Kyle! Once again, a wonderful review
Not totally related, but is there a video for the 2016 CX-9 coming soon?
When comes your Cadillac CT6 video?
True that the base model doesnt have real leather?
Have you been able to get your hands on a GLS 63?
Hi Saab, will you do a review of GLE 63 or GLS 63?
The GL is nowhere near the size of a Lincoln Navigator, or the escalade. The GL dates back to the Diamler Chrysler mashup, meaning that car is basically the same underpinnings as the Dodge Durango.

+Saabkyle04 my mistake I thought you were referring to the larger versions of the escalade or navigator
They actually redesigned it in 2012 getting rid of it’s Chrysler r
i was trying to find the key fob the whole video..
Could you do a 1998 ford ranger? If not what about a 99 Mitsubishi montero sport xls?
How tall are you? I can’t tell if the car is tall, or your short
Nice vid as always! Been watching since 2010
Interesting, I'm curious though, how does the Mercedes compare to the Dodge Durango dimensionally?? Obviously it would not compete in the same class, but I read that they were related.
what camera do you use?
Would this be a good competition to the Audi Q7?
This is the competitor to the Range Rover vogue so no but the Q7 is better it is also Cheaper, in the UK these are definitely not popular the only SUV's that is the GLE coupe the GLE itself tips to popular either people like range rovers and Audis more along with the X5 that's really popular they are everywhere including the uk police
Having owned a GL450 for 3 years of this generation, I can tell you that the Airmatic suspension is wonderful to live with...and the base V8 was so nice. Like 5.7 seconds to 60.

Love these shorter reviews
Please how much is this SUV in Nigeria now
Kyle can you do the 2016 Lexus rx350
Please do a gls550 or gls 63 review
Could you put this next to Lexus lx570
I prefer the shorter format for vehicles like this. Good video!
My family has had a 2007 Mercedes GL 550 and they're a bitch to own. Beautiful vehicle but the maintenance is excessively expensive and they lose their value quickly. We traded it in for a Ford Expedition and it was a better choice. We paid over 90k for this SUV and didn't get anything close to that when we traded it in after three years of ownership. If you buy a Mercedes, buy one used.
The UK is a far better place to own a German car unfortunately for you
Ford Expedition xD
ford expeditions are really good too
expeditions are fancy as fuck tho. sat in a top trim and it had driver's seat massaging. that was back in 2012, no other entry level fullsize offered that.
Garrett McKie do the maintaince urself you dumb wop
Could you make vid talking about how to financilyy responbilly own a car. (as in how much should you spend on a car) Im 23 years old i want to hear diffrent opinions before i buy my first car. nice review BTW asalways thumbsup
+Saabkyle04 do you still have your 1995 Buick Roadmaster and do you still have your 2007 Lexus ES350
Can you make a video of the 2016 Chevrolet Malibu Premier? I've been wanting one but I normally check your videos first before I go and look. Thank you
I love your videos. I own a GT350, Town Car and F-150. Thinking about trading the truck in for a GLS450 or a new Navigator. Which one would you go for and why?
Kyle, please more Hondas! This was a very nice video by the way :)
Hi Kyle! Do you plan on coming to Illinois again anytime soon? Because there is a Volvo dealer in Oak Park where you may be able to video there new S60 Polestar.
Unfortunately no plans at the moment, Volvo needs to send one for a week so I can shoot multiple videos on that beast!
Great car. I reviewed the 350d back in April, had a press car for five days. Great family car. Price incl options approx. 100K USD.
love this new quick review, don't get me wrong i like your long format but let's be honest, not every car needs a 40 minutes detailed review. As for the car, XC90 seems to make a lot more sense to me
A shame they chose those rims imo, personally i don't think they suit the car
It's time for you to do another Rolls Royce Phantom, and your new collard shirts look really great..... When you are the best you have to look like the best. Your reviews are so incredible, they are the only place on RUclips that a person can REALLY learn about cars they are curious...
YOU HAVE NO EQUAL on RUclips... Thanks Kyle !
Hey Kyle, will you be covering the new 2017 e-class?
are you going to review the new 2017 raptor, and the 2017 super duty when it comes out?
Hope so!
Saabkyle04 Is there anyway you can do a full depth review of the Gls550 been thinking about getting one and want to see you do a review on the Gls 550 btw your review are amazingly helpful
I built this car! I work for Mercedes Benz in Tuscaloosa!
CHANGE THE RIMS IF ITS YOU
Rims are good! Looks nice! Good job!
Aaron Gregory Cool! I have a friend who works there too!
Thank you for building my GLS!
Do you also make gls for europe?
Do these come with the Theatre package? As shown in the 1st gen?
It should still come with that, I think I remember seeing it on the MB USA website.
+Saabkyle04 the Audi Q7 is very comfortable for 7 passengers and is very well made, we are getting a 7 series instead. I live in the uk and the third row is not optional but it could be in America
Im surprised you've done a Vulcan and a Chiron and countless other cars but you haven't done a F12 TDF or Aventador SV
Hi Saabkyle! I'm a fellow car fanatic just asking if you could do a 2017 Lincoln Navigator review?
Hey Kyle!!!!! It wud be great if you could make a video on the GLS63 AMG that you mentioned in the video!!!!
Can you do a video of the Renault Megane Classic 2 sedan 2008 pleaze ??!🙏🏼🙏🏼
saabkyle04 pleassseee i beg you do a review on the 2016 audi r8. i really wanna know more about it? PLEASE REPLY.
Hi,Saabkyle04 Kyle, can you do a review on a new 2017 GLS 63 AMG..??
Sabbkyle04 can you do a review of gls 550 or probably gls 63 amg , please.
@Saabkyle04 can you do a review on the Mercedes GLE 43 Coupe 2017 formally GLE 450 Coupe in 2016, they are the same thing just badges changed.
Kyle, you should review the Maybach S600!
Would you like to test drive my 2008 mustang bullitt with bunches of mods
What, no mention of its Towing ability?
why would you review the like the cheapest possible variant. Pls kyle, its what we watch the videos for... the options
OMG 😱😱😱 he finally reviewed it. awesome
Are this wintergames-rims wheels???....this screrms for an change
love your vids kyle you took on a tough journey
Thanks bud!!
Hey kyle i have dying to see a gle63 review please make one
Please do Mercedes Benz GLE63 AMG Coupe
Thanks to your review I've just got Gl63 AMG
You dont have to put premium gas in it because a test was done and regular is the same premium octain and my Mercedes runs just fine on regular gas!!!
5:42 the HMI lags so much... I don't even know, if this is Mercedes or not.
This new naming system is pointless.
I can see them renaming the M-Class to GLE, but what the hells up with GLS? The GL isn't a 4 door version of a coupe(like the CLS).
It used to be simple, G was the flagship SUV. GL full size SUV. M(GLE)mid sized. GLK compact. GLA Sub compact.
GL= SUV the A, C, E, and S is to be linear with the car lineup
It's because you live in the US so you don't have all the models but they have the GLE coupe which is a competitor to the X6 so they changed the Amal to GLE SUV as the coupe is based on it, the names done mean anything really they are just differentiated for thier own suitability as are Audis and BMW's
+David Lennox what about the G-Class? That's the big bad Mercedes Benz SUV(not physically, but where it sits in the lineup).
And what about the CLS? CL has been renamed the S coupe. This whole naming system is a cluster fuck rn.
+John Doe wouldn't that mean the CLA would also get renamed?
+bmwmsport11 ur dumb tbh. Learn and come back
how does it compare to the Range Rover?
Beat car ever in suv . I halve GLS 350 grand edition diesel. Superb. Merc is on top. Rims are fantastic. I would recommend this car to everyone one.
Are rear air vents standard?
Nope
Notification squad? 😜
Welcome! :D
Do a video on the GLS63AMG :) Keep up the good work!
