I'm not sold on MB's physical design language, but their interior lighting is FIRE. It's the little things that sway me towards dreaming about specific cars I can't afford.
for 90k the rear section of the car is so overlooked. for that price heated rear seats, automatic down and up should be included and yet u don’t even get climate controls
Well it is supposed to be the mid trim after all, but since it’s got “AMG” in the name it might’ve confused owners and leasers that it doesn’t have the full AMG experience
A $90K SUV and you need to manually fold down the second row?! No thank you. Mercedes, in addition to using cheaper materials of late also believes we are stupid.
it's more than folding your seat bro, it's an amg for 90k. a family car if you're into that, probably amazing ride quality, 8/10 interior and A MERCEDES.
Since this GLE has the Dynamic Handling Package, it has the AMG Active Ride Control with Roll Stabilization. It’s supposed to make the ride even better and cornering flat. Interested to know how those brakes performed.
@@long-black-vietnamese-man Not really. Started from a 30 Roll in the right gear and still barely got ahead. he might've been tuned but still unimpressive for an AMG.
I'm watching your video for almost a minute looking at that steering wheel and thinking WTH?? Then I looked at the title and I saw 2022. Obviously I was first thinking it was a 2024. My only feedback is they haven't changed that engine and I don't know that I'm a fan of Mercedes inline 6, the last inline 6 that I had was a turbo diesel and I blew up my engine.
I’m not really into the SUV fad but if I had to have one it would be a GLE, but how has this car not got wireless Apple CarPlay??? 2022! Mercedes! My 19 plate 3 series has and I wouldn’t expect anything less from a German manufacturer
Wireless charging is useless simple as that and the fact that they are charging people as an option nowadays is pathetic because it doesn't work all the time
90k to have explorer ST performance, less room and even less features GEEEEZ Obv there's a quality difference but it's not that dramatic, at least its not the god awful coupe so the whole thing looks pretty good
@@amgv8fast407 I literally said there's a obvious quality difference, tho I can't be surprised someone as painfully biased as you can't read a basic statement
So I saw around the web that this thing is a turd burger with reliability. Such a shame as it seems like a cool ride if you can afford it. Damnit MB pls stop making these trendy disposable vehicles for the rich….
@@jamesxu3685 if we’re talking about BMW engines then it doesn’t sound that different. An M3 comp sounds almost just like this with a slightly higher pitch.

@@gniro You aren't losing much in that department with the A45. Plenty of backseat room, 370L boot capacity and that's before you even fold the seats down. For a car that drive 100 times better I would take it any day. Or if you really need more space a super fast estate/station wagon will still perform leagues better than an SUV and give you all this space you covet.

I've always loved the GL/GLE, but the new GLS is really hot 🔥 in my opinion.
We need Topher to get his hands on the new X7 M60i next.
The interior design is unbeatable. Luxury interior + pleasing view = perfect driving experience.
Professional POV Review as always Topher!
you watched the whole review in 1 minute?

“We’re not gonna get into all of that”
lol I appreciate that

Thetopher said it cost 70k+ in the video
@@h_ron the spec he drive is 90k, it starts at over 70k though
Yeah the back seat in my new ram Laramie is probably just as nice and more spacious
$90K and no rear HAVC?! o_0
$850 option 😂
This is an awesome car and an awesome pov, thanks
Having worked for an MB the 53 is super underwhelming. The jump between 63 and 53 is insanity with how night and day they can drive in Sport+
Well it is supposed to be the mid trim after all, but since it’s got “AMG” in the name it might’ve confused owners and leasers that it doesn’t have the full AMG experience
LETS APPRECIATE THE COLORS OF THOSE TREES AT THE BEGINNING OF THE VIDEO

IKR a bit of manual labor hurts people these days. And most of the time u won’t even use it, so your just adding weight
it's more than folding your seat bro, it's an amg for 90k. a family car if you're into that, probably amazing ride quality, 8/10 interior and A MERCEDES.
God forbid a bit of manual labour right
Germen cars are something else man let me tell you
This interior looks really good with the silver trim and red seats!
Love this stretch of road to drive I live in northville. So happy they finally fixed the rail road crossing on Beck lol
This is a full fledged amg or just like a mid tier modal with some amg tweaks?
The Mercedes seatbelt chime is such a bop
Lol your mom is one of my fav teachers
Topher, would love to see the new Mercedes AMG SL63 or even the SL53!
thinking about to buy x6m competition but this video made me think again bro
Since this GLE has the Dynamic Handling Package, it has the AMG Active Ride Control with Roll Stabilization. It’s supposed to make the ride even better and cornering flat. Interested to know how those brakes performed.
Need this.
Hey, Topher, in all of your videos, can you please tell me where you get these wheels from ?
Where is the 2023 model? I thought they would be released by now
When the X6M 2022?
I raced a 330i in one of these and barely won. Not the fastest but really good on gas.
@@long-black-vietnamese-man Not really. Started from a 30 Roll in the right gear and still barely got ahead. he might've been tuned but still unimpressive for an AMG.
@@dominicanstig5196 I believe it lol.
Are you seriously comparing an SUV with a car that weighs 1500lbs more 🤦
I calculated power to weight and it’s shockingly similar to my BRZ 😂 which just means you can enjoy that turbo straight six more at legal speeds
i think a X5 40i would be very close to this car

Can you get your Hands on the 2023 Honda CR-V?
The exhaust note sounds was to similar to the BMW inline 6 and if I am buying a Mercedes that is not something I want to be reminded of.
Can u do the Hyundai palisade
It’s been done.
overdone
'Oh yeah, Sport+, corner' 😂
You should do a review on a Range Rover sport or x6
Westsidegunn - Mariota
I didn't know they sampled the sound from a Mercedes lmao
90k and no wireless carplay? yikes man.
I’m not really into the SUV fad but if I had to have one it would be a GLE, but how has this car not got wireless Apple CarPlay??? 2022! Mercedes! My 19 plate 3 series has and I wouldn’t expect anything less from a German manufacturer
Did the interior feel as gimmicky as it looks?
Yeah it looks goofy as heck
He went full on Peter McKinnon at the end
I definitely don’t have money for this :c
Watering down the AMG name
im so disappointed you never show what the back of the car looks like.
One day... :)
For 90k I’d like to see some more features
the performance is really lacking given the price of this car..really think you're better off with a GLE450
or the GLE 580, now that the V8 is back 🤔
meh just need a stage 1 tune if you really care that much. I get a 4.7 0-60 in mine so performance is really good imo.
9:50 this thing has soft stututu
mom has one, wish there was a x5m in the garage instead.
No Android Auto ?
It has it.
pretty sharp and black... just like one of my exes
When no taste just isn't tasteless enough.... go with a AMG GLE
Nice kar sport
Wireless charging is useless simple as that and the fact that they are charging people as an option nowadays is pathetic because it doesn't work all the time
90k lol. Good grief
Can you drive more EVs
90k to have explorer ST performance, less room and even less features GEEEEZ
Obv there's a quality difference but it's not that dramatic, at least its not the god awful coupe so the whole thing looks pretty good
If you think a Ford Explorer and GLE don’t have a dramatic quality difference then you’re smoking something good

25k miles with mine and 0 issues lol. those people probably got lemon cars from the pandemic.

Cargo space. I have a GLE43, once you start driving around with kids and their car seats and strollers, you’ll appreciate the room.

Are you really comparing a Renault subcompact cheap car with a Mercedes veneer to a GLE AMG 😂😂😂
